This absurd would be nothing exceptional in Poland, an ex-communist banana republic, but in USA? There is nowhere to escape to from this omnipresent (il)legal absurd anymore, the world gone mad....
Dude got arrested for legally selling a perscription medication to someone with a perscription.
Yeah that doesnt make sense.
Im against using the stuff for recreational purposes, as it serves no benefit at all, but for those that need it to manage extreme pain in cases like this it should be available. Im fairly sure it is here in Canada, so for those that need it, it could be a viable option.
@deathman1021 Just quickly, there are some benefits to recreational use, but beyond those, why should it be illegal to alter your mind for a few hours every couple of days?
If someone wants to sit around and "enjoy life" for a few hours with friends, why shouldn't that be allowed?
Infrequent personal use of my own has given me plenty of entertainment and fellowship. I wouldn't call that "no benefit".
@SSGWARDEN no he didnt, did you not listen? medical use of the stuff was legal in Cali, he was only selling it to people with a perscription for it.
He broke no laws at all, he wasnt selling it to anyone that wanted it, he didnt go into the streets and sell it to kids, he sold it legally.
and then his lawyers werent allowed to talk about the legality of what he did, the only ones that broke the law in this case were the police and government officals that aressted him.
@SSGWARDEN Thing is, though, he didn't and he did.
In california, it's legal. Unfortunately, the federal rules can overwrite those.
Think of it this way. If you were allowed to drive 70km/h down your street but then the federal government said you were doing more than the federal limit of 50km/h, would you want to go to jail?
Government, noun 1)Self-important self-aggrandizing idiots running other peoples lives but couldn't run their own. 2) adjective: idiot, moron, stupid as hell
Well, in sweden people get like 7 years for a 1st degree murderer, while shooting a fucking moose while not in hunting season can get you up to 20 years
AUGHHH. This is so frustrating. I'd prefer not to use weed myself unless medically necessary. I personally don't enjoy it as much as some, enjoying non-intoxication more. But it's such a screwy world where it stays illegal while other stuff is legal, while an unending 'war on drugs' is fought creating even more problems, while cartels continue to have influence on US crime, and DEA agents end up being ordered to shut legal dispensaries down. I wonder how many agents are conflicted within.
The government if evil, there is no debate on this, they may not be the definition of absolute evil but they are none the less evil. We should rise up against them on all fronts, then they will have no choice but to allow democracy rule.
This is nothing new. Our justice system is fucked up. It is also very racist. I don't see how you are just now making videos on how bad the justice system is in the US...

well said, mr randi....this makes me sick.....i'm proud to be an american but i am absolutely ashamed of the way our "elected" officials run it.......its time for some changes to be made, from the ground up, not from the top down.
My doctor tells me his ability to prescribe strong pain medication to his patients can be taken away by the feds if he doesn't have an ongoing record of clean drug tests, but in reality there is no requirement by the government to do this. It is the insurance companies that push for these tests to limit their liability. So those in the most pain who are the ones who can't access medical marijuana to help ease their suffering.
As a chronic pain patient I am prescribed opiates by my neurosurgeon who runs a pain management clinic. What many people don't know is that pain patients are subjected to random drug tests in order to continue receiving their pain medication. If marijuana is present in my urine, my doctor will no longer supply me with the medication I require to ease my suffering.
American laws are retarded as they are different in other states. They need to get a unified system going on because all these departments are fucking retarded and just makes upholding the law even more complicated.
@ExxonAmadeus The "American Laws" Say each state sets its own laws within the boundaries of the Constitution and the Gov enforce those laws. Having a unified law system is where we are at today as far as the gov is concerned which is why states that have decriminalized marijuana for medicinal purposes are still under heavy scrutiny by the feds, as well as having dispensaries raided, their employees imprisoned and the states law written according to constitution; being trampled.
This is why I have no faith in the court system, espiecally with regard to mandatory drug sentencing laws. What a waste of time and money not to mention people's lives.
As long as your actions do not impede on the rights of others, deprive them of property through force or fraud or mitigate harm to non-human species YOU SHOULD BE FREE TO DO WHAT THE HELL YOU WANT.
@metrx330 I agree with you but don't understand what you meant by "mitigate harm to non-human species". Are you saying that you should not be able to minimize harm to animals, or that you should not be able to harm them?
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Although most laws are beneficial to society, there are many laws in places which prohibit activities which many people enjoy and harm no one. I could give a partial list, but since that would most likely incite more debate than I feel up to, I will try to stay out of major flame territory.
But that's just WEIRD, how can California legalize mariujana if it's illegal by federal law, I mean state law and federal law is like governed by 2 different organs, but if California legalizes it, and have had it legal for (?) some years, how can then federal law come in and attack this one (1) guy and prosecute him?! Your system doesnt make ANY sense.
That's what I mean, that doesnt make any sense :p How is that possible since it's still the same country? You can't have 2 laws contradicting eachother :p If California tried to make it legal why didn't just federal law come and say that this is not possible since it's illegal by us, if you want to legalize it you have to get our approval first. I have no idea how the system works in America but it seems pretty weird that this can happen.
For more on how marijuana/hemp helps with healing take the USA Hemp Museum tour on the subject found in the book HEMP FOR VICTORY: THE WONDER HERB by Richard M. Davis, available at amazon and/or at the museum's site hempmuseum org. The work is a collection from patients, caregivers, doctors and the Physicians Desk Reference, Herbal Edition. You'll see the healing power up close and learn how to use it for good.
It does and there's scientific backing to prove it. Not only that, there's also studies which show it can stunt the growth of cancerous cells and delay the onset of alzeimer's disease.
Shouldn't the mayor and the city council members also be arrested for aiding this criminal? Shouldn't those who issued the license be arrested as participants in the conspiracy to distribute marijuana?
This sounds about right for the Bush Justice Department. Alberto Gonzales had a screwed up set of priorities. He considered pornography to be a greater threat to America's security than terrorism. Medical marijuana? Evil!
Welcome to the (for some) free world... here, justice (sometimes) prevails. everyone is allowed to make (some) free choices, so we can all live in (relative) freedom.
honestly...no shocker...at all.....whether is some small country without much order, or a large one like the USA, the law is almost always flawed. they say justice is blind, but thats where the problem is, because many ppl just choose to blindfold themselves......sigh, we live in such a stupid world XD
ok before i get crap for this, its not right to say the whole world is stupid....granted alot of things we do are very good, but i think its fair to say that the unbalance of bad is too much, i bet you any money that if he killed or raped someone he would have been out a long time ago on some stupid charge for "mental" problems, but no. his problem was helping people, and the fools who dont understand that outnumber him, soo hes pretty much screwed -_-
I agree with your point but I feel I should correct some numbers. I was just informed by my father (a public defender in California) that 1st degree murder is 25 to life, and it is another 25 to life if you use a gun. I still think its a valid point, but the right numbers always help.
i don't use marijuana, but it absolutely blows me away that there is such a concentration of law enforcement on this drug when it is nothing compared to the average prescription drug.
Yeah, it's an anathema to these idiots. It makes them look like they're doing something. Seriously if there was legal Cannabis, the DEA would have sweet fuck all to do. All other illegal drugs are scarce compared to Cannabis.
weed is an unprocessed plant, no one did anything funny with it, it's just the plant. XTC is prepared with gasoline and meth is made of things you find under the sink. even asperine is bad for your liver. the medication nowadays are so processed with violent chemicals, I just cant imagine, that a direct product of nature is worse for your health than such medication. THC is no poison, it's a natural annesthesiac. an effective one. but hated by the government for particular reasons.
I was actually wondering about that last week, and figured it must lead to some really expensive legal knots when state and federal laws conflict (I never imagined it'd cock-up this badly though), and problems with state boarders and jurisdiction, etc etc. But i couldn't come up with any positives for the system, so I was wondering why use it? What am I missing?
I think if enough states legalise something it become federal law? Someone said that to me when I asked the exact same question as you. But yeh I'm not sure if that's correct. I haven't found a reason yet that I can validate. Seems kinda stupid to me.
this makes me so angry, I hate the DEA and everything they stand for. One more case of shoving down holier then thou morals down people's throats they are trying to make an example out of him.
Smoking is incredibly harmful yet legal drugs, arguably no more harmful than smoking-and mainly harmful because they are unmonitored and undesirable substances are added, are illegal and frowned upon by society irrationally. I smoke and i am MADE aware of the dangers yet smoke despite them as IT IS MY CHOICE. It makes more sense for drugs to be regulated in the same manner so that it is a personal choice for each individual.
The federal sentencing guidelines for marijuana are grosely out of line. These laws are the responsibility of congress and the president, who signs the legislation.
Even with Eric Holder's policy it is still very illegal to grow or dispense pot, and this can still happen to someone.
p.s. Why don't the democrats fix unjust policies like this, rather than driving us indebt with huge entittlement programs.
Frankly speaking, I have known cases of even bigger injustice (not in the US though), but this is nevertheless very unjust and arbitrary and seeing that it happens in the US exacerbates it.
No truly free society would have a 'war on drugs' - Especially when it's all just a ploy to keep medication expensive and patented. It has nothing to do with keeping people 'safe' and even if it did it's a strike against freedom. I don't do drugs, but I believe people should have freedom of choice.
Alcohol versus Marijuana... Which one is more dangerous? This is clearly not about safety. It's about money, that's what the drug war has always been about.
this is a load of Horse Shit!!!!!!!!! hell in an episode of Bullshit you witness the federal government distributing mary jane to people to. fucking hypocrites.
The average murderer gets 20 years? Fucking-A, I don't believe it, then what's the short end of murder-sentencing? 10 years? What's the average sentencing for rape or kidnapping?
Actually, if my source is correct it's 7 years and 10 years for rape and kidnapping . . .
And this case . . . All the guy did was send legal medicinal drugs to informed consumers, What Lynch did was a victimless "crime", no damages can be proven to have been done, whereas what the feds are doing=unforgivable
@stuckvanilla Someone I work with once mentioned that his dad had worked for the DEA... my gut reaction was as if he'd said his dad had worked for the SS.
That family would have saved a few bucks if they had sent that kid out to see a doctor of some country that has universal healthcare system for that major operation and treatment.
Murder in Finland gives a life-time sentence which is 12 years, 10 with good behavior. It costs a lot of tax payer's money to keep them in for longer than that so that 85 years for marihuana business just tells that those judges are incabable of solving any kind of legal matters morally and should be forced to resign.
What a disgrace, thanks to the Nazis of the 21st Century... the American right wing is a large collective of gangsters, thugs, political whores, sociopaths, sadists, idiots and the monumentally ignorant, con artists, funda-mental-cases, war mongers and generic wackos.

There is going to be a vote in Washington D.C. on the legalization of marijuana at the federal level. If you want to show your suport go to norml(.) org and click take action then, click on what can I do, then click on contact repersentatives. From there you can send a prewriten E-mail or print out a leter to send to your state repersentative in suport or marijuana legalization. It is up to you to influence your repersentatives. Let your voice be heard!
There's money to be made, jobs to be had, in exploiting the public's irrational fears for profit. Of course, as long as those profiting aren't being shot in the streets, what do they care how many die thanks to the criminal incentives these laws provide?
In other words, as the cliche goes, simply "follow the money" and it's easy to understand why certain drugs are illegal. It's somewhat more complicated than that, taking into account the sordid history of this new Prohibition (including racism, for example, as marijuana was considered a "black" drug), but just look where the money goes and that's enough to appreciate why many currently argue so strongly against legalization.
There is going to be a vote in D.C. on the legalization of marijuana at the federal level. To show your suport go to the norml web site and click on take action.

If we don't legalize, your only making it more difficult for yourselves (government) to deal with marijuana issues. Suit yourselves spending more money and time on things people know aren't harmful. and at the end of it all this country is becoming more and more liberal as time goes by. This plant will one day be regulated and taxed. The thing is why wait.. people like myself are not going to stop smoking it. Waiting is only building more "SO CALLED problems" for the government to deal with.
Yes, the fact that marijuana and certain other drugs are illegal cost us money, all of us. But remember, whenever something COSTS money it's because SOMEONE is MAKING money from it, profiting in one way or another. There's effectively a large law enforcement industry, and quite a few others as well (think so-called rehab clinics, etc.) making a steady income from the ILLEGALITY of drugs, which they'll continue to do as long as the public remains convinced of the IMAGINARY dangers of legalization
I feel Charles Lynch, just yesterday i was literally stepped on and severely discriminated for only have one blunt of .8 grams, now i am facing tickets i have to pay and was almost sent to jail. I've been smoking illegally for past 3 years none stop everyday and nothing has ever happened to me. I don't think any other form of medical THC will ever stop the demand for legalization, which in my eyes should be the main issue we need to deal with.
If alcohol and cigarettes are legal, then making marijuana illegal is pure and monumental retardation. The legislators enforcing this idiocy should be skinned alive. Making medical marijuana illegal is 10x more retarded, especially if you consider that morphine and other opiates are legal in the field of medicine...
Morphine and other opiates are among the most addictive drugs on the planet. It is, therefore, monumental retardation, to suggest their use, in the place of a non-addictive drug such as medical marijuiana, is a desirable alternative.
Well that was exactly my point. Anyway in cases of extreme pain opiates are an option, and that is why they are still used in medicine. To be honest if I had a patient dying in a month of some excruciating form of cancer I'd pump him full of Heroin in a heartbeat. Anyway back to the point, making marijuana illegal is retarded, and those who don't think so are either ignorant or deluded by ideology and can't be arsed with facts.
And what 'facts', exactly, do you offer to support your premise that using marijuana in place of opiates is 'monumental retardation'? "If alcohol and cigarettes are legal" hardly seems any kind of an intelligent premise. I have yet to detect any substantial facts from you to support your position.
No, you keep not getting what i said, i never said you should use opiates instead of marijuana. I said that the legal position of "drugs" in our world is highly inconsistent: tobacco and alcohol are both legal and available despite being more harmful than marijuana. Medical use of opiates is legal everywhere despite them being WAY more harmful than weed. SO there is no consistency in the law, and the legislators are retarded. Marijuana should be legal, period.
This is all because marijuana is still against federal law. State law doesn't override federal law.
Unfortunately, it's going to be a long time, and quite a few arrests before the federal government changes it's mind and catches up to the individual state laws themselves.
The more facts excluded from any trial, the more likely the findings are to be judicially unsound and a result of illegal but doubtlessly unprosecuted prejudice by those in authority.
The plant and patent arguments are bogus. Aspirin is profitable and that's all natural and based from the plant. Tobacco is profitable. Vitamin C is profitable too. So that argument fails.
Are you refering to people who sell products that are harmful, such as cough syrups containing Dextromethorphan?
Or people who sell crystal methylamphetamine?
What kind of ignorant person watch a video about a person who needs medication that has no adverse side affects and says "Drug dealers must be made an example of?"
By the way, you may want to look up "acetaminophen," it can cause death. You can find it common pain relievers.
We have had his argument from those claiming medical benefits from canabis here in the UK. Those arguments don't wash as it is now a class B Drug.
The fedral government have every right to over rule a local law. If there were any truth in these spurious medical claims, the FDA would have approved it long ago as would NICE here in the UK.
That speaks nothing. The evidence stands on its own, and the opinion of a group of bureaucrats provides no additional information. This is not a problem of the FDA, but of a deeply ingrained and irrational prejudice against marijuana use. Until that is dealt with, you can't presume that the US government have considered the issue in a reasonable manner. This is obvious from the exorbitant sentence threatened here when compared to a murder sentence.
What right do you have or anyone have to tell me what I can and cannot put in my body? That's not freedom that's being a control freak. It's sick, it's evil and if drugs were legal there wouldn't be the need for dealers. It would be a buisness. But he wasn't a dealer, the man in the video was running a buisness to help people. And you want to punish him for helping people. Wow, you are trully sick and evil and need to me removed from society because you are dangerous.
SETH Group "Herbal (THC) compound kills brain Cancer Cells - but not normal brain cells."
Dr. Guzman ... "THC can promote the autophagic death of human and mouse Cancer Cells"
Dr. Mechoulam ... "we gave THC oil drops 400 times to children 1 -13 years old with Cancer & prevented vomiting & nausea 100%"
Links to my previous 6 comments are located in my youtube page in my primary, secondary video & the last 4 comments are located below my profile picture.
Who decided that marajuana can't be used period! it is nobodys business but me, how I chose to honour or abuse my fragile body and mind. Afterall, it is also me who pay the bill should it go awry.
I'm sure the drug companies would be glad to sell and distribute marijuana and related products. It would be a whole new market opened up to them. This puritanical attitude against drugs is found in the government and legal systems, not the drug companies.
This absurd would be nothing exceptional in Poland, an ex-communist banana republic, but in USA? There is nowhere to escape to from this omnipresent (il)legal absurd anymore, the world gone mad....

weed is an unprocessed plant, no one did anything funny with it, it's just the plant.

THC is no poison, it's a natural annesthesiac. an effective one. but hated by the government for particular reasons.

Smoking is incredibly harmful yet legal drugs, arguably no more harmful than smoking-and mainly harmful because they are unmonitored and undesirable substances are added, are illegal and frowned upon by society irrationally. I smoke and i am MADE aware of the dangers yet smoke despite them as IT IS MY CHOICE. It makes more sense for drugs to be regulated in the same manner so that it is a personal choice for each individual.

The federal sentencing guidelines for marijuana are grosely out of line. These laws are the responsibility of congress and the president, who signs the legislation.
Even with Eric Holder's policy it is still very illegal to grow or dispense pot, and this can still happen to someone.

No truly free society would have a 'war on drugs' - Especially when it's all just a ploy to keep medication expensive and patented. It has nothing to do with keeping people 'safe' and even if it did it's a strike against freedom. I don't do drugs, but I believe people should have freedom of choice.
Alcohol versus Marijuana... Which one is more dangerous? This is clearly not about safety. It's about money, that's what the drug war has always been about.

In other words, as the cliche goes, simply "follow the money" and it's easy to understand why certain drugs are illegal. It's somewhat more complicated than that, taking into account the sordid history of this new Prohibition (including racism, for example, as marijuana was considered a "black" drug), but just look where the money goes and that's enough to appreciate why many currently argue so strongly against legalization.

If we don't legalize, your only making it more difficult for yourselves (government) to deal with marijuana issues.

This plant will one day be regulated and taxed. The thing is why wait.. people like myself are not going to stop smoking it. Waiting is only building more "SO CALLED problems" for the government to deal with.

Yes, the fact that marijuana and certain other drugs are illegal cost us money, all of us. But remember, whenever something COSTS money it's because SOMEONE is MAKING money from it, profiting in one way or another. There's effectively a large law enforcement industry, and quite a few others as well (think so-called rehab clinics, etc.) making a steady income from the ILLEGALITY of drugs, which they'll continue to do as long as the public remains convinced of the IMAGINARY dangers of legalization

If alcohol and cigarettes are legal, then making marijuana illegal is pure and monumental retardation. The legislators enforcing this idiocy should be skinned alive. Making medical marijuana illegal is 10x more retarded, especially if you consider that morphine and other opiates are legal in the field of medicine...
DonVoghano 2 years ago
Morphine and other opiates are among the most addictive drugs on the planet. It is, therefore, monumental retardation, to suggest their use, in the place of a non-addictive drug such as medical marijuiana, is a desirable alternative.
TheMercilessEye 2 years ago
Well that was exactly my point. Anyway in cases of extreme pain opiates are an option, and that is why they are still used in medicine. To be honest if I had a patient dying in a month of some excruciating form of cancer I'd pump him full of Heroin in a heartbeat. Anyway back to the point, making marijuana illegal is retarded, and those who don't think so are either ignorant or deluded by ideology and can't be arsed with facts.
DonVoghano 2 years ago 2
And what 'facts', exactly, do you offer to support your premise that using marijuana in place of opiates is 'monumental retardation'? "If alcohol and cigarettes are legal" hardly seems any kind of an intelligent premise. I have yet to detect any substantial facts from you to support your position.
TheMercilessEye 2 years ago
No, you keep not getting what i said, i never said you should use opiates instead of marijuana. I said that the legal position of "drugs" in our world is highly inconsistent: tobacco and alcohol are both legal and available despite being more harmful than marijuana. Medical use of opiates is legal everywhere despite them being WAY more harmful than weed. SO there is no consistency in the law, and the legislators are retarded. Marijuana should be legal, period.
