There is no Gateway drug,the choices people make to put something in there body is called free will !! A God given gift to all mankind.People confuse the word Gateway to someone who will act on stupid suggestions from someone who has no common sense.I hope everyone can understand this beautiful truth.
Ol' Dick has been watching too many Reefer Madness movies! If he really wanted to speak about Biblical times& MJ he should speak about howit was used to heal back then. It was a medicine! It still IS a medicine. The only reason it ever became outlawed was due to Political Agendas. Pharmaceuticals, cotton, paper companies would be hurt if it was legal! Those companies have too much clout w/ our corrupt government to make it legal. I think that time is over. Society is waking up to that crapola!
Dear Dick Gammick: 1. There is more to growing marijuana than dropping some seeds in a cup. Please, educate yourself, and quickly before you embarrass yourself further. 2. Albeit alcohol is legal, it is still illegal to perform surgery or operate an airplane while intoxicated from alcohol. 3. These are not good reasons to stay in the dark ages, and for marijuana to stay illegal to posses for the average taxpayer. It is asinine and ignorant.
I cant believe how dumb people (in office??) can be! This Gammick is completely oblivious to reality! Of course this would be regulated so that people wont be high and piloting an airplane or doing heart surgery! Did he really go live to the public with these comments? We need immediate impeachment from all government officials the second they say something this stupid/ignorant. Wow
lol in the words of Xander Cage (XxX) "Come on dick!" how many people People go to the store and buy alcohal, who the hell has time to distill thier own liquor? lol not me, I don't want to grow my pot either.
AAARGH OMG... Yes it is easy to just grow your own marijuana, it is hard to grow your own good quality marijuana it would just be easier to buy it and being worried about pilot's smoking before takeoff? I would rather my pilot smoke then drink if anything at all, someone who is high on marijuana is less impared then alcohol. I mean come on you cant tell if your pilot is drinking in the cockpit but if they were getting high the whole plane would know.
"a gateway drug leading to people to become less constructive and lead less healthy lives"
constructive to what? the government? so if we arn't slaving away making lots of money so we can give 30% to the government, every paycheck, we arn't being costructive. bullshit. they're only afraid people will rebel again and cause them trouble.
that dea dude or whatever is gay!!!!!!! the only thing i think their right about is that im not paying 50 of tax just for an ounce i could just go buy it somewhere else they need to revise that maybe make the real good stuff expensive but sell regular shawg at 20 30 bucks the most with a small tax. we'd still be saving money on law enforcement.
Dick Gammick just made me angry when he spoke, hes so ignorant. why would he use a biblical reference, isnt there supposed to be a separation between church and state?
Don't want to go down the road towards Sodom and Gomorrah? Well then make gambling and alcohol illegal while you are at it! Dumbshit! And I would rather have my surgeon or pilot smoking a joint than drinking 3 cups of coffee! Weed is no more dangerous than that! They lie who say differently!
Sheriff Joe Arpaio said the same thing in "the last white hope" I hope thats right, anyway, to take them at there word, they are saying when pot is legal, they will have to smoke before strapping on their guns. This guy and sheriff Joe are both buffoons, They will be remembered as the Carrie Nations of the drug war, crazy in the end... We are winning this thing, you can hear the desperation in their ramblings. plant your seeds everywhere!
Sheriff Joe is under criminal investigation by the grand jury as you speak..I dont think he's going to be running the streets of Arizona much longer..
lmfao.. who caught that? 1:32... "why would anyone go to a store, buy marijuana and pay taxes on it.. when they can just drop some pills - uh - seeds.. and grow themselves..lmfao. he looks like a pill head. whatta dick.
Why would people go to a store and buy pot when they can grow it themselves? Simple. How many people do you know wanna put the time and money investment into growing weed? I don't! I'd rather buy my weed from a store like I do cigarettes or alcohol. I'm not keen on waiting 2-3 months for a plant to mature...
Airplane pilots are drunk now, Id rather have them stoned }:)
Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a mans appetite by legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.
My brother in law WAS a pilot of Continental and he was also one of the biggest coke heads I've ever met in my life...and I used to live in Matamoros Mexico, so I've known a few coke heads including myself..A pot smoking pilot would be a welcomed change..
Well, yeah I get what he was referring to..."Sin City" and all that. But the "idiocy" I was talking about is how he's trying to legislate morality and use religion to make a point. There are also double standards that many don't consider: Like how is marijuana use or gambling inherently more wrong than say, drinking alcohol or playing the lotto?
Gotcha..Well its the typical response as with any religious excuse..all who use religion as a means of escape also practice double standards with their religious beliefs.
I hate quoting scripture but here it goes...
The bible says "Cast no stone less ye be free of sin"...The bible also says we are born of sin, therefore it would be impossible to cast a stone at all. If they cant live by the rules then they shall die by them!
Personally I dont believe a fucking thing thats written in the book
50 dollars an ounce tax? Shouldn't weed be cheaper if legal ? an ounce only cost 50 bucks. in Mexico .and then some...And what's the point of legalizing it , if a person can still be fired,,,prosecuted,,,SHUNNED?!And , NO ! I don't want a doctor smoking 5 minutes before operating on me.Or one who has a hangover.Unless s/ he performs better due to the calming effects & satiifaction one gets knowing they've satisfied those carnel urges.
When are idiots like Dick Gammick going stop with the absurd, stupid, insulting, ridiculous & obnoxious arguments? Why don't they just admit that there aren't any valid arguments against it, accept marijuana back into society?
County DA Dick should be fired as soon as he mentioned Sodom and Gomorrah. Keep religious views out of our govt decisions !! All of his arguments were ridiculous.
also cannabis is not a gateway drug moving to other drugs is all about personal choice and personalty. also if u smoke and ur lazy and stupid u were probly that way to begin with, Don't blame cannabis take responsibility 4 your life.
Plus he obviously does not understand growing, its like saying why in the hell would you go to a store for tobacco or alcohol when you could fashion some within your own home?
because its easier and will be better if you buy it in a store unless you have many many year sof experience growing or brewing. tobacco is treated with chemicals though so growing your own might be a good idea.
that dude was stupid, if he really thinks that doctors an pileot would use before their jobs then hes in lala land because I know for a fact that piolets get tested, and doctors...well WTF lets just hope that the people who job it is to help ill people are not THAT stupid. Seriously...
As long as enough dave schwartz types, level headed people who have a very fact based common sense approch to cannabis, are seen backin this thing there's hope. Hopefully those fanatics who think cannabis is somehow going to magically solve every problem humanity faces and can never have negative consequences don't botch this thing for us.
exactly, there would be laws for driving under the inluence(it DOES have potential to be dangerous but no where near as much as with alcohol), laws for using in public or for getting high to a point that you cant work efficently.
AND a license for selling it in an establishemnt shoudl be hard to get and eays to lose, like if they sell to a kid or a crackhead.
EXACLY! That's why you don't see a bunch of people growing their own tobacco and rolling their own cigs. It'd be much easier to go to a store and buy pre-rolled joints. They are going to have a huge market. I just wish Tx would catch on. :(
You got that right. Some people might grow their own.... but the fast majority would just buy it in the store (unless they are going to charge an insane amount of money for it)
'Sodom and Gamora' were destroyed because of sexual immorality... hence the word "sodomy'.... if you believe it...sounds like he does and the next law according to that logic would be to make being 'duel spirited' illegal... I suspect that if he is going to start throwing stones he could direct them towards the liars like Obama and the thieves like Chaney and the Bush family....
Wow. A public official made a blatantly religiously-motivated argument on public TV and... this is okay? He isn't, like... fired? Only in America!
Politicians are pretty much just preachers. Not a whole lot of difference. Pass the collection plate, get sex on the side, say a bunch of flowery phrases as if you're important, get attention, make threats, make empty promises that can never come to be, sling mud at other parties, make bad arguments, and piss reasonable people off. Worthless people.
I just am amazed that opponents of legalization always have their reasons twisted and fundamentally wrong. The real reason is his office would receive less funds because the public would need to spend less on enforcement. A pilot or doctor could take a drink of alcohol. growing weed would not fit a users bill in the potency of the product, especially if it were against the law with stiff penalties to do so, when it would be hassle free to use legally. I smoked weed for years and stopped.
Anyone who has ever tried to grow marijuana knows it's a lot more to it than just planting a seed.
If you want to grow top quality weed, it takes a lot of work, knowledge, and daily dedication. You really have to know your stuff. How many potheads will take the time to learn how to grow when they can just go to the store and buy it.
I'm sure alcohol prohibitionists argued that we could just brew our own and avoid paying taxes too. How many people do you know who brews all their own hootch?
Dick Gammick is an idiot. And just because he's an idiot, he thinks we're all idiots. Why don't we make alcohol illegal too? That seems to be the drug pilots prefer.
Every single alcoholic on this planet started off drinking milk. Does that make mother's milk a gateway beverage for alcohol?
Dick reference to scripture tells us that his opposition is based upon his religion.
Hey Dickhead - Religion is for the weak minded! Stop hiding behind religion and join us in reality - dumbass!
lol i like his pilot reference. as if we don't have fully legal substances that impair your mind much worse (alcohol). though we have to be careful comparing it to alcohol because alcohol does indeed have some social problems attached to it. unless we show why it's better but not equal to alcohol.
i don't see what's so wrong with sodomy anyway ninjato...
Wow Gambit comes up with the most ridiculous anti-arguments ever. Do pilots drink alcohol on the job? No they get fired and no airliner will ever hire them again. And besides, there's a difference between a drinker and a toker. The toker is gonna land safely and the drunk will completely miss the runway.
Dick Gammick is an utter fool. He is stupid to think that everyone will grow their own because they dont want tax. For a very long time people have been buying from illegal stores called drug dealers, who also take a certain 'tax' so that everyone up the line gets paid. Also for him to say an airplane pilot would toke before flying is phenominally stupid, by the same token airline pilots dont have a nip or two before flying. DICK GAMMICK YOUR MINDSET OF CONSERVATIST BULLSHIT IS COSING THE PEOPLE
WHOS gonna buy marijuana when they can grow it themselves??????? dumb bald oldass wrinklyass fuck that looks like he has cancer, HALF THE POPULATION OF CALIFORNIA IS BUYING IT FROM STORES DBUMFUCK!!! SERIOUSLY, idk hooow many times ive said this really but 'I HATE WHEN PPL AGAINST WHEN KE UP DUUUUMB MOTHA FUCKIN EXCUSES TO MAKE WEED LOOK BAD!" im 16 nd i smoke, i run 1mile in under 6min and i get decent grades nd hav a good future ahead of me soooo yea....
wow that bald bitch is trying to do some reefer madness shit. can't scare the people with old tricks, they learned from there mistakes, its over, and theres nothing u can stretch enough to prevent it.
smoking before flying a plane or surgery... really? when was the last time either of those jobs had a case where some1 was caught drunk? probably never, because theres a time and place for that stuff. dumb shit.
To be fair,lets address this moronic buttfuck DA's idea. Do americans who smoke tobacco grow their own plants? Its just as easy as growing pot. Nope they are lazy and while SOME will, not everyone will. Are you gonna wait 4-6 weeks to smoke if you want to get high when wal-mart has a pack for 20 bucks?
I bid the laziness of americans to counter your point of they will grow it.
Drivers under the influence of marijuana tend to over-estimate the adverse effects of the drug on their driving quality and compensate when they can; e.g. by increasing effort to accomplish the task, increasing headway or slowing down, or a combination of these.
OMFG he invoked the bible???? Are you fucking serious?
God created this plant for us to use. So you say a plant god created is bad? Really?
LOLOLOLOLOL Not that I believe in god, but holy shit you use your outdated beliefs to justify keeping something illegal that the same god you believe in created and said to use.... Win Win guess...
Just like in the bible, they have to use FEAR to scare people into believing what THEY want you to believe. Its the sign of poor argument. DO this or bad things could happen. Riiight.
A pilot would be fired for smoking pot just as they do if they were drinking. How is that different? Oh wait drinking is okay. Is there a reason we do not alcohol test? tobacco test?
that is like saying you would have drunk doctors what the fuck and dont bring the bible into goverment that is against our founding fathers ideas they set up a secular goverrment, george W. thank you and this is coming from a catholic who goes to church on every day of obigation.
let me just go throw these tobacco seeds in a cup so i can roll my own cigs. how often do you see that happening? im sure it does, but its not very common. this guy is a duchbag
Hes just pissed off that if its legalized if it 50% of his business income will be taken away. ( his business is putting people in jail) and if all drugs were legal that would take away 75-85% of his business away... not concrete on Nv 's prison numbers at the moment
"( his business is putting people in jail) and if all drugs were legal that would take away 75-85% of his business away"
And that's a fact. The debate about the science of cannabis is over. It's safer than aspirin, less intoxicating than whiskey and dozens of times less toxic than tobacco. The drug war amounts to nothing less than religion for drug warriors; they are the con artist televangelists of their religion. They believe everything on faith and fight against the science at every turn.
$50 an ounce tax!!..Holy shit man thats fucking outrageous. Thats damn near what I am paying for an oz now, just imagine how much the price would go up with that kind of taxation.
Dude, I've never paid more than $75 an ounce in my life and my standard price was $50 an ounce when I used to go through about 1 a week. If you don't have a good connection then that's your problem. Truth is most people do not know how to grow good cannabis and would rather just buy it anyway. Tobacco is just as easy to grow. How many people, aside from me, do you know who grow their own tobacco?
If you don't have good friends or real connections then I'm sorry for you. I've had plenty of people try to charge more, but I won't pay it. I've never paid more than $800 an LB either.
no everyone i know pays this amount.. at best i can get a half oz for 50, prices are different everywhere. so im certain i dont have shitty dealers, you just get mad hookups
or unless your gettin it directly from the grower.. like a wholesale price. ... than you could get it for a low price.. once the grower sells it to someone for lets say.. 50 an O ... the person he slung that to.. is gonna tax it and raise the price on it so he can make a profit.. and so on, and so forth..
Heres a simple fact for all who have replied to this thread. The price oh HERB not WEED differs all across the country. Most of you smoke weed, I do not, there is a big difference between weed and herb (you figure that one out). Its just like one dude can get you a half for 50 and the other can get it for 35, prices differ through various connects.
Don't hate because your paying more or less than the next guy.
Wow, DA Dick... You're in Nevada and you think legalizing POT of all things will turn your state into "Sodom and Gomorrah?" Nevada... FUCKING NEVADA?! Fuck, man. Legalizing pot is a step up from the moral debauchery that's already legal in that state. Where the fuck do you think you are, Dick?
Ah, fair enough. The price would probably still work out a bit cheaper though, because it would be grown in much bigger batches and without any legal risks.
If it was illegal for me to grow and legal to buy, then I think I'd just buy it.
Either that or move to Spain, where drug laws make sense!
That way I can grow and smoke in my own home completely legally :)
yea they showed dave from the weed report. And that dumb ass who said who wants to be on a plain thats tokin, well who would want to be on a plane with someone drinking. It wouldn't be alound in the work place just like alcohal isnt. He is a complete ignorant ass.
That bald guys first argument was an appeal to the bible. Marijuana was legal in America for 230 years before it was made illegal through propaganda 70 years ago.
Unfortunately for everyone, most people don't stop TO think, but stop THINKING at that point and are just "durrr... I don't want my doctor to use psychoactive drugs while operating."
No one said it's gonna cost $50 an oz, $50 is what THE STATE gets per ounce. On top of the sales tax the end consumer pays. real "progressive" nevada. /sarcasm
That bald guy is full of shit. Just pure straw man arguments. Firstly, most wouldn't bother growing if it's only $50 an oz! and Secondly, legalising marijuana doesnt mean that you'd be able to smoke it all the time, just like you can't with alcohol. There would be strict laws against using before driving etc.
Thirdly, Marijuana is NOT a gateway drug. There is no evidence to suggest that other than circumstantial evidence.
But then again, going by the logic behind the "gateway drug" claim,
Dude... this ISN'T biblical times and your moral judgements should not be part of LAW.
Surgeon smoking? Pilots smoking? What a dumb fucking argument. They don't smoke now so why the hell would they suddenly smoke before doing their job? DAMN some people have NO IDEA!
Free the plant and let responsible adults make their own choice!
I do like the idea of coffeeshops rather than liquor stores selling the product. Fuck the alcohol industry!!
@MedicoreProductions No, its worse than that.... Dick Gammick and everyone who agrees with him are Tyrants and Despots.... all the laws they support are blatantly unconstitutional, but they do it anyway and spit on the grave of the founders and use the Constitution as toilet paper... these people are utter scum and dangerous dictators... the American people must be woken up out of their stupor or the tyranny will grow to the point that ONLY a war will rid us of it... and we DON'T want bloodshed!
california got enough votes so now they can vote on it this year! they got like well over 700000 people to sign off on it, so now californians will vote for legalization this year. for people over 21, they will be aloud to have up to an ounce on them at all times, and can have their owwn gardens, no larger then 25 square feet
true that. and a survey they did a long time ago to see how californians feel about the legalization got 56% of people want it legal, so it must be even higher now. so its deff gunna be legal this year. see you in cali
yeah because surgeons and pilots that have access to alcohol drink before surgery and flying all the time. Just because its legal doesnt mean people are going to iresponsibly abuse it worse than alcohol. What a stupid comment from that DA dousche bag.
that bald guy is an idiot....watch the documentary THE UNION....
also, there are many pharmacudical drugs that will make you crash a plane ...but you never see it happen.... this guy is totally working for the bug companies or hes just a tool.... they dont want u growing ur own medication

exactly, there would be laws for driving under the inluence(it DOES have potential to be dangerous but no where near as much as with alcohol), laws for using in public or for getting high to a point that you cant work efficently.
AND a license for selling it in an establishemnt shoudl be hard to get and eays to lose, like if they sell to a kid or a crackhead.

EXACLY! That's why you don't see a bunch of people growing their own tobacco and rolling their own cigs. It'd be much easier to go to a store and buy pre-rolled joints. They are going to have a huge market. I just wish Tx would catch on. :(

'Sodom and Gamora' were destroyed because of sexual immorality... hence the word "sodomy'.... if you believe it...sounds like he does and the next law according to that logic would be to make being 'duel spirited' illegal... I suspect that if he is going to start throwing stones he could direct them towards the liars like Obama and the thieves like Chaney and the Bush family....

djafrican 2 years ago
I just am amazed that opponents of legalization always have their reasons twisted and fundamentally wrong. The real reason is his office would receive less funds because the public would need to spend less on enforcement. A pilot or doctor could take a drink of alcohol. growing weed would not fit a users bill in the potency of the product, especially if it were against the law with stiff penalties to do so, when it would be hassle free to use legally. I smoked weed for years and stopped.

Anyone who has ever tried to grow marijuana knows it's a lot more to it than just planting a seed.
If you want to grow top quality weed, it takes a lot of work, knowledge, and daily dedication. You really have to know your stuff. How many potheads will take the time to learn how to grow when they can just go to the store and buy it.
I'm sure alcohol prohibitionists argued that we could just brew our own and avoid paying taxes too. How many people do you know who brews all their own hootch?

Dick Gammick is an idiot. And just because he's an idiot, he thinks we're all idiots. Why don't we make alcohol illegal too? That seems to be the drug pilots prefer.
Every single alcoholic on this planet started off drinking milk. Does that make mother's milk a gateway beverage for alcohol?

Wow Gambit comes up with the most ridiculous anti-arguments ever. Do pilots drink alcohol on the job? No they get fired and no airliner will ever hire them again. And besides, there's a difference between a drinker and a toker. The toker is gonna land safely and the drunk will completely miss the runway.

Dick Gammick is an utter fool. He is stupid to think that everyone will grow their own because they dont want tax. For a very long time people have been buying from illegal stores called drug dealers, who also take a certain 'tax' so that everyone up the line gets paid. Also for him to say an airplane pilot would toke before flying is phenominally stupid, by the same token airline pilots dont have a nip or two before flying.

To be fair,lets address this moronic buttfuck DA's idea. Do americans who smoke tobacco grow their own plants? Its just as easy as growing pot. Nope they are lazy and while SOME will, not everyone will. Are you gonna wait 4-6 weeks to smoke if you want to get high when wal-mart has a pack for 20 bucks?
I bid the laziness of americans to counter your point of they will grow it.

Drivers under the influence of marijuana tend to over-estimate the adverse effects of the drug on their driving quality and compensate when they can; e.g. by increasing effort to accomplish the task, increasing headway or slowing down, or a combination of these.

And that's a fact. The debate about the science of cannabis is over. It's safer than aspirin, less intoxicating than whiskey and dozens of times less toxic than tobacco. The drug war amounts to nothing less than religion for drug warriors; they are the con artist televangelists of their religion. They believe everything on faith and fight against the science at every turn.

Dude, I've never paid more than $75 an ounce in my life and my standard price was $50 an ounce when I used to go through about 1 a week. If you don't have a good connection then that's your problem. Truth is most people do not know how to grow good cannabis and would rather just buy it anyway. Tobacco is just as easy to grow. How many people, aside from me, do you know who grow their own tobacco?

or unless your gettin it directly from the grower.. like a wholesale price. ... than you could get it for a low price.. once the grower sells it to someone for lets say.. 50 an O ... the person he slung that to.. is gonna tax it and raise the price on it so he can make a profit.. and so on, and so forth..

Heres a simple fact for all who have replied to this thread. The price oh HERB not WEED differs all across the country. Most of you smoke weed, I do not, there is a big difference between weed and herb (you figure that one out). Its just like one dude can get you a half for 50 and the other can get it for 35, prices differ through various connects.
Don't hate because your paying more or less than the next guy.

Ah, fair enough. The price would probably still work out a bit cheaper though, because it would be grown in much bigger batches and without any legal risks.
If it was illegal for me to grow and legal to buy, then I think I'd just buy it.

That bald guy is full of shit. Just pure straw man arguments. Firstly, most wouldn't bother growing if it's only $50 an oz! and Secondly, legalising marijuana doesnt mean that you'd be able to smoke it all the time, just like you can't with alcohol. There would be strict laws against using before driving etc.
Thirdly, Marijuana is NOT a gateway drug. There is no evidence to suggest that other than circumstantial evidence.
But then again, going by the logic behind the "gateway drug" claim,
bobble12221 2 years ago
alcohol and nicotine are BY FAR the top 2 gateway drugs.
In fact, paracetamol or aspirin are probably even more powerful ones!
