'Marijuana Is Safer' Coauthor Discusses Legalization on Fox News Channel

[azombie1024]

If they got around to legalizing it there would be a huge new industry with thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in revenue that could be taxed and regulated by the government. The regulation could be funded with all of the taxpayer dollars being spent on prosecuting small time offenders regarding cannabis crimes.

It's time to re-evaluate the unwarranted anti-cannabis superstition and make a change for the better.. It could save America from falling into another great depression. IMHO.

[KripDrip]

whos this faggot talking about this shit. Liberals are faggots

[mommajuggalo1]

THE GOVERNMENT WON'T ADMIT IT OR DO ANY OTHER TESTING BECAUSE THEY ARE IN THE POCKET OF BIG PHARMACIES!

[Stonerteacher]

Wow. So the DEA busts in, takes their money and drugs, and doesn't write a report on it? Sounds like a jack to me Who do you think the money and drugs goes to? Do they throw the money into a fireplace and burn it? No! They keep the money and give the drugs to the CIA to sell. The CIA and DEA are like corporations when you think about it. The CIA are the biggest drug dealers in the world and when people are taking there buisness they have the DEA jack them. It's right in front of your eyes folks

[tusagnamaster]

Go out and vote and us californians dont have to listen to this retarded fucking debate anymore

[GTILOUD]

Google PUFMM People United for Medical Marijuana in Florida we are working to legalize Marijuana in Florida!! Florida people sign the petition and get Medical Marijuana on the Nov ballot in 2012!!!

[bbdog141414]

Why is this on Fox News?

[ihavenospaces]

@bbdog141414 I don't know, but I like it!

[casualtySR]

@bbdog141414 I suppose because there are some that understand that this is an important BI-Partisan Issue that needs to be fixed.

[bbdog141414]

@casualtySR Another q why did fox hire a liberal in the first place i mean its fox!

[backbeatzbob]

We are SO sick and tired of over a half century of lies about marijuana. The state of marijuana genetics has never been better. Karma is a bitch and she's coming back around on the Fed Govt now... How SWEET~! :^) Free the Weed!

[Mussi93]

i was used that fox was only blond stupid women are talking against weed and not letting people talk :D but this guy is okay

[Tuathalful]

Prohibition keeps a lot of people in bussiness; from police, lawyers and private prisons, to products marijuana might compete with consumption-wise, such as alcohol, tabacco and even fabrics and wood pulp...

[CJbass420]

@Tuathalful yes and gangs aswell dont forget them!

[JustLearnin73]

not too mention we cant put what we want in our bodies, yet we have to put pollutions and poisons in our bodies from corporations, like flouride, chlorine, mercury, dioxin, and now genetically altered foods GMO's BGH etc. and they have patent rights on them not only the technology but the food, which i thought was illegal to patent "life" in the first place

[jayholla5]

I have a new respect for Fox News Wow ! This is monumental I love when the truth is exposed

[yeah2boy]

that purple cream looks dank!

[IHeartDropDeadlol]

im all for it, if people are going to go out of there way to get thc in their system and come up with insanely smart ways to use weed, might as well make it legal.

[Trance2mind]

EXACTLY!!!

NICE POST! 5*

Love & Peace!

[keepingitfunky101]

legalize it!

[jkdsifu06]

the best discussion i saw on yt (from tv) so far

[Martial024]

LEGALIZE IT, stop treating citizens like children.

[602pleasure]

legalize it! promote vaper use!!

[FOXMANMUSIC]

I support legalization

[UnicornScrotum]

Anything smoked can cause cancer as far as I know, but thats why we have vaporisers and various ways of cooking weed into food! Anyway I hate when anyone uses cancer as a reason for the prohibition, by that logic tobacco, barbecued food, smoked food excessive sun bathing etc. should be illegal.

[SerialKiff3r]

@UnicornScrotum

Oddly enough, smoking Marijuana doesnt cause cancer... In fact the only harm done to a persons lungs they could find was bronchitis, but that's only in cases of extremely heavy use over many years, nothing the casual user need fear...

[mexicano7771000]

@UnicornScrotum Yea Make the sun illegal.

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

Rick Simpson's Cancer Cure Hemp Oil is Cannabis extract full of Cannabinoids including THC.

Google "pubmed" / Enter words "Cannabinoids Cancer" ... 560 articles!

[oeufgwoieu]

WE NEED MORE TESTING!!, sure cannabis can help people with hiv/aids, cancer, MS, chronic pain, stomach problems ' many more ailments, helps mood, helps with depression, but some people might go crazy & kill u & these pot café bar brawls r devestating our communities, we must keep the children safe, they can wait until they r 21 to enjoy legal intoxicants, this is devils weed grown here by god 2 test us, if u smoke u will go to hell AHHH!!!!! BE AFRAID!!!!, POT IS BAD, WAR IS GOOD, GO AMERICA!!!

[melodiccreepingdeath]

hahahahah yea bro

[FRANNER2000]

really surprised that a story like this came from fox

[djzacmaniac]

Fox online anyway. I'm pretty sure this is a web program.

[copcorona]

great book buy a copy today.

[cartoonbloodshed]

Isnt it great that instead of letting the people decide whats good for them, the government does! i just love it when the government releives the stress of descision making by making the descisions for us! isnt it such a wonderful system?

[MegaVolcano]

I never thought I'd see this on FOX News.

[gavilan81]

we select or vote for our representatives but WE are not paying atention to them if marijuana is legalize for medical uses why not for recreation we are old mature and responsible. marijuana is been used for years but here comes the gob with an escused the marijuana is DANGEROUS thi is so can charge us for our health and our freedom why they have to decide. if is regulated the little white peopple will be mad or what do u THINK

[teetofknowledge]

08:05 - Maybe if we were truely a country of the people...

[TheSkinzilla]

Even IF the government is right, and marijuana MIGHT cause cancer, that would only be if smoked. They fail to mention the option of vapourizing or ingestion, which is completely harmless.

[oeufgwoieu]

@ TheSkinzilla, or making tintures & oils

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

TheSkinzilla ... "Marijauna might cause Cancer"

May I suggest you You Tube "Smoked Cannabis' Effect on Lungs, pt. 1, Dr. Tashkin"

[TheSkinzilla]

Awesome vid, thanks for the recommendation. I knew they hadn't found a conclusive link between cannabis only use and lung cancer, but as there are carcinogens present when burning cannabis(or any plant matter) the government funded studies always use terminology like "smoked cannabis may/should/can possibly cause lung cancer". Now it's nice to be able to reference a study that refutes those claims. Thanks again.

[RebelliousHutterite2]

finally someone open minded on fox news

[Feilur89]

WHO stated its safer than alcohol or cigarettes, that's enough proof for mehhhhh

[spedshic]

It's so sick that cannabis is illegal!! :S

[crad650]

should just be decriminalized thats it

[RHODOAN]

Marijuana is illegal for the simple reason that HEMP poses such a threat to so many already established industries such as timber, cotton and oil to name a few. Money rules this country and the minds of those in power.

[Nexis]

I smoke weed and don't drink. I think the laws here in the US are out of control. I am in no way a bad person, but I would be charged and incarcerated with a federal crime if caught? Bullshit! It's hard to believe this argument is still going on, 3 decades after it's initial inception. I can't believe this is still an issue, just like gay marriage. So much for freedom of choice.

[theonlyoskar]

There needs to be a mainstream UK group that supports the legalization of Cannabis,

but all success to the states, we'll probably emulate them if made legal

[Jckofalltrades63]

I hope so. It needs to be legalized around the world for sure.

[fuckinghellyoutwat]

we don't really need it, you can even grow your own in the u.k without fear of facing prison, but still spread the word, in this country we don't need to over grow the government, just grow so much that it undermines the criminal market.

[soulforged789]

the high pitched voice man speaks the truth.

[nemopunk15]

We could pay for National Health Care with legal Marijuana.

Marijuana can't kill humans, has been shown to fight cancer, and helpful treating hundreds of illnesses.

Come on Obama, This was the top question from the public every time you asked our opinion.

Yes We cannabis!

[anthonytaurus]

OMG Fox News is on the side of common sense?!?!?!?

This might be the one thing that brings this nation together. For decades, Republicans and Conservatives since Nixon, the one who started the War on Drugs, have been ignoring research and science.

Because Obama continues the policies of past administrations, the Republican/Conservative speakers are going to do the right thing for once.

[jasonjinx]

Damn good speech.

[Jckofalltrades63]

Oh and NORML is so lame. They (unlike S.A.F.E.R.) are such pussies wen it comes to getting things done. We must not be passive, in our goal to legalize, and just sit around "waiting" for things to change.

[peaceneedsweed21]

you have no idea what your talking about

[Jckofalltrades63]

O RLY? lol

Why don't you supply some facts to back up your statement sir? Prove me wrong or at least provide some info as to how you came to your conclusion. Is this not reasonable?

Please don't be like Fox News and make accusations that are illogical and based on false evidence (or evidence taken out of context).

[peaceneedsweed21]

yeah i agree that SAFER is getting things done when it comes to the drug "war" but NORML has been out there for just as long as safer. they are just getting done in a different way. if everyone was out there doing the same thing nothing would ever get done right? NORML was the one that got the dispensery that is like 5 mins from my house put up and has helped my community so much. and Yeah mason trevert has been doing alot like protesting and stuff like that, but everyone is doing their part

[Jckofalltrades63]

I totally agree with you man. And I like being able to hav a normal (lol pun) conversation with someone and be able to grow as a person myself. I do realize NORML has gotten thngs startd and Im glad they did. Its just in my opinion I thnk we shud hav a more active approach towards legalization. Tho to each his own. On that note we all seem to smoke weed, so thats wat imma do, this blunts 4 you peaceneedsweed21. Good on ya for stickn to your stuff. The world needs mor ppl who can talk thru thngs.

[Jckofalltrades63]

Agreed! Although I just have to wonder why fox news would be doing such an interview considering they are a bunch of religious anti-left nutjobs. Though I'm willing to give them props for doing such an interview.

Legalize and Regulate! Don't just Decriminalize!

Peace & Pot citizens of the U.S.!!!

[Fuctmentality]

I'm not too surprised that fox conducted this interview, I'm a liberal, but I know many conservative friends who are against cannabis prohibition as it is an intrusion of personal life by the government, & an intrusion that our nation does not benefit from.

[Jckofalltrades63]

This is true. I live in Arkansas and know a great deal of conservative people who would agree with the topic at hand (as da ganja is a fav no matter your race or affiliation). Still a *lot* of propaganda is currently being spit out of Fox New's mouth to the people (which it didn't always used to be that way) and I'm mainly just frustrated with their use of irrational reasoning. Anywho, happy smoking bro. And stick to yo beliefs.

[ruderevival]

what ive been saying all along. MARIJUANA IS THE CURE FOR CANCER AND THE GOVERNMENT AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES ARE KEEPING IT FROM THE PEOPLE. In the words of Rage Against The Machine, We gotta take the power back yo.

[RavenShield420]

[pacificasingers1]

[Metatheist]

[MichaeljosephRuscito]

How much longer is this horse shit going to go on? WAKE UP OBAMA. WAKE UP AMERICA.  Marijuana NEEDS to legal.

[hey111222]
