Smoking Pot is bad? Good thing I can smoke tobacco with no buzz, and yea cigarettes are as addicting as Cocaine and Heroin, and tobacco has No medical or social value, oh yea it causes cancer. What If I want a buzz and do Not want to use alcohol?! Is it socially acceptable to be an Alcoholic and smoke tobacco, get with the times, IF YOU WANT TO SMOKE IT LEGALLY YOU GOTTA BE ACTIVE POLITICALLY- Or else its just booze and cigarettes.
I LOVE THE MARINOL EXCUSE "MARIJUANA HAS NO MED. VALUE ,BUT! OUR PHARMA CO. DID MAKE THIS MARINOL WHICH IS BASICALLY POT IN PILL FORM WHICH DOES HAV MED VALUE" I MEAN THAT IS JUST A TERRIBLE ARGUEMENT. FUCKING STUPID ... ITS NOT THE SAME AND EVEN IF IT WAS WHY IS IT OK TO TAKE THAT BUT NOT SMOKE? RON PAUL 2012

Not to mention the FDA is corrupt as hell. They will take a bribe anytime a a pharmaceutical company wants another drug introduced onto the market. These drugs are usually dangerous with a long list of very negative side effects and a definite lack of understanding on long term effects.

"just not true that people are going to jail for small amounts of marijuana"..... That is biggest load of shit i have ever heard less than a year ago i was looking at 4 years prison time for a small amount of marijuana, now i only ended up serving 30 days but still this is complete nonsense, legalize it and put the free back in freedom
Do you really think that the FDA wants an herbal plant(pot) legal instead of using their approved products? these A _ _ holes run a trillion dollar industry and are in cahoots with the pharmaceutical companies who don't want their profits or better more their FEDGOV budget cut by allowing the legalization of this natural herb.

Marinol 2 month supply of 10mg capsules costs $1,609.65. Compared to a plant that grows in nature for free; its a lot harder to make a profit on something that is already free thanks to nature. (2 month = 60 days x 10mg capsule a day = 0.6 grams of synthetic thc costs 1,609.65)

Not only is this prohibitionist wrong about weed, he is wrong about the FDA. There are cases were the FDA has prevented harmful drugs from being released.

They may not all go to prison but they sure are throwing people in jail .. and as far as marinol is concerned ,, it kills hundreds of people a year whereas marijuana doesnt kill anyone .. which makes me wonder why the FDA would support a potentially deadly product over one that cannot kill you but has consistently better results and is much more effective .

Regardless of the fact that hundreds of people with severe diseases and ailments do smoke, and are proud to say that they smoke, marijuana for their pain, many times over the years government funded studies have been conducted on what its overall impact is on the human body, and society, and each time the study has been ignored or covered over due to the stance that marijuana is a mostly harmless recreational drug. Dont believe anything the government says about weed, make up your own mind.
the reason thc exists in the first place is to protect the marijuana plant from uv damage, so no, its not a plant from gods or watever you believe in, it just evolved over time to survive in its changing environments, just like humans did
C'MON AMERICA!! Legalize weed. In Canada, our government won't even consider legalizing weed because of the threats from your government to halt border traffic if we do. We need you people to push your government to legalize, so ours can follow suit. The time it took you to write a post here, is the same amount of time it would take to email your local government representative and push for legalization!!
These demoniac anti-marijuana propagandists hide behind the laws of morality so they can justify the chemical alteration of Gods natural herbal plants into a control substance. They done this with the Cocaine plant, the Opiate poppy plant and numerous others, which have become illegal street substances and dangerous to those that use it. I have tried Marinol and believe me it is nothing the like vapor inhaling of Marijuana. The sensation from it is very scary.
Marinol and the other such like pharmaceuticals that are approved or will be approve by the FDA only signifies that yes, it is an assertion of these anti-marijuana propagandist, that the substance within the Marijuana plant has medical value or else the pharmaceutical companies would not be taking the time to produce it. The hidden agenda here is that investors and share holders want to capitalize and monopolize the capitol gains received from the sales of a product produced from Marijuana.
marinol is a petro chemical substitute that really is much more potent rendering it's patients much more incapacitated than using marijuana itself. Our world is already dealing with too many side effects from synthetic substitutes!! Let the people speak for what they want!! THANK YOU MPP!!
David Evans says the tax revenue from alcohol and tobacco does not cover the cost to society. This means people, that we the tax payers are subsidizing these industries. Whats wrong with that? Marijuana does threaten our society like booze and smokes. Its time for rational policy change. It may not be perfect, that is only the goal of every law but it is far better and safer.
the fda wont get real results until they use quality herb which they block as said in vid they know the facts but still wont do anything and all u peeps who say it causes cancer i scream FALSE go look up real research out of the states still dont think so look up a vaporizer
I disagree with anderson coopers statement when he said that legalizing marijuana is a "complicated issue" and that "both sides use science to prove their points"
A.) legalizing marijuana is about as complicated as one plus one equals two
B.) the pro legalization side used truth backed up by intelligent scientific facts, the con side uses brain washing lies and biased moral opinions. the bottom line; rob kampia is a patriot, the bald guy is a cock sucking tool
The trouble with the alcohol argument is that alcohol actually CAUSES social and health problems (look inside the word "intoxicated" and you will find the word TOXIC in the middle). One more time, boys and girls, THERE ARE NO TOXINS IN CANNIBIS.
good job rob, you owned that coke rimmed glasses fool. its not just the taxes you'll get, its all the billions of taxpayer dollars we won't have to pay the cops, DEA, & MEXICO for continuing the war on Cannabis.
Plus HEMP will be LEGAL NOW.
GO RON PAUL AND BARNEY FRANK, great legislation today guys!!!
how can that mother fucker sit there and act like pot is the worst thing in the world?
and saying how it needs to go through the food and drug administration, thats bullshit. weed is so great, and it surves multiple purposes. so ya, its a medicinal, but at the same time, its just amazing. THAT is why it needs to go to DC to be fought. this is bullshit, my dad is slowly dying from cigarettes along with hundreds of thousands, and they say pot is bad? shit after this im pissed, i need to smoke.
if all the ppl that are arguing to not legalize marijuana are now lying cause they cant better argue...i think its about time to legalize it..FUCK YOU DAVID EVANS. lol.
David Evans is a disgusting man. How can you tell me after serving that I can't use marijuana which won't hurt me (except fed beat downs), but I can smoke and drink myself to death. What about all those people in pain and agony with illnesses who find that it works for them, and is safe? How much more heartless can you get? What the hell is wrong with these people? They're sick!
I would argue the social costs of a a continued war on drugs has far more of a detrimental impact on our budget, and liberty, than a model of legalization ever could.
Apparently if it killed people it is more likely to be legal.
Yeah, you actually have it exactly right. Statistics show that legal "drugs" such as alcohol and tobacco do in fact kill more people. You are fighting a lost cause by using sarcasm here.
why drug free America it will not happen all of you american are on drug you come from broken family you don't know what value mean so stay on drug for ever
Prohibition has accomplished nothing and all prohibition did accomplish is the thriving market of underground drug cartels, prohibition didn't deal with the issue and as a matter of FACT it made it worse.
end this DRUG WAR, witch is what it is and you cant just stop calling it that because it wont make it go away, pull your heads out people, your problem is obvious.
The issue should not be whether it is 'healthy' or of 'medical value' but whether you can claim to be a free society by not letting people choose whether or not to use Marijuana themselves. If you don't like it, don't use it. Don't criminalise so many people for disagreeing (that is tyranny) or claim that they need 'protecting' from said drug (that is elitist and patronising).
Marijuana should be legalized to keep the pot money out of the hands of criminals. There is also lots of ways pot can be used for industrial ways such as rope, paper, cloth, seed oil, and building materials. The reason it is not legal yet is because the lobbiests of the above companys are against it because they will loose money in sales due to the competition with the legal Marijuana market.
stoph8in, your comment is very stupid.because you are on drug..weakup iam sure you are still young don't let the weed controll your life and your future.
Retard... lol.. I wish I could smoke, but both of my current place of work usually gives random drug tests to their IT department and network engineers so I am not going to take a chance until it is legal.. However, I wish I could smoke and blow the 2nd hand smoke in your mutha fuckin face asshole.
any way American people all are on drug and alcohol and they are gang,so why not make it legal hahaha anyway they are stupid that's make them more atupid..
You square ass mutha fucker, the only stupid mutha fuck face on here is you.. You don't know the facts.. and fuck the facts, its supposed to be the "LAND OF THE FREE".. if that is the case, let us smoke what the fuck we want to smoke.. I don't need be worrying and stressing about my job or the PIG ass cops kicking my door in for a ounce.
The whole debate of extra health cost is utter BS, first of America does not have a healthy health care system, second of all the damage is already there but the tax is not, third if u use other methods then smoking there no damage from using cannabis, u can eat it vaporize it without having to inhale smoke.
And the main reason this world has to stop spoiling criminals with easy to grow materials with high profit.
This "debate" reminds me of the Evolution vs Creationism debate ... neither really exists! Science on both sides my white hairy ass. What a stupid reporter. Must have flunked biology 101. He's certainly no professor. Why the hell does he get to comment on anything at all? Why does his opinion even matter?
Stupid Christians. There is no God, but if there were, the only way you could get to him would be through drugs. But these dumbasses are too fucked up on Jesus to understand that.
I'm confused on David's logic. If alcohol and tobacco are so bad, then why are they legal? While pot is illegal? Shouldn't the less harmful products like pot be legal first? His argument doesn't make much sense.
Yes, but many of these turds would like to see alcohol and tobacco illegalized as well and be in the same boat as weed. They want ALL psychoactive drugs to be criminalized - except religion. But they know it has already been tried and it failed, and they would lose a lot of support if they said so openly. They preach to the smokers and drinkers of the evils of "drugs" and garner support. Someone should ask these fuckers openly if they would support a bill for making ALL psychoactives illegal.
This is just a matter of discrimination. The in-power party (the relatively conservative Christians) see the counter-culture as a threat, and so uses them as a scapegoat and oppresses their freedom. Think of it like Nazi Germany. Personally, I think drug users need to stop taking this shit lying down. We make an easy target. We should revolt.
Marinol/Dronabinol is the synthesized version of THC - it's the same fucking thing. Yet it's patented and sold as medication by Big Pharma. Surprise!
Man... How I could just pooch a large bowl and blow it in that guys face. But then again that would require me going to the US.. probably to get fucked over by the authorities. Would much rather chill up here in Canada (Vancouver) and spend each saturday at the cannabis culture vapo lounge...
dude rob kampia is the shit!!! hes so good at debating and he kills it everytime hes debating on tv!!! it seems like he always wins the debate fosure which is helping us legalize weed!!!! go ROB!!!!!!!!
all pharmaseuticals are chemicals... no natural ingredients just relic chemicals.. u cant patent something that naturally grows... its all about money... and they claim its a counterculture although cannabis users are not against anyone.. they just want to live and let live... its all.....
BTW cannabis is amazing benefits for earths ecology and human health too.. if cannabis use goes up then alcohol and cigarette consumption will go down... and we all know which of the three is safer.
putting out cannabis pills isnt proving his point at all... all the profits would still go to the fucking drug companies that are putting them out as opposed to people growing their own supply.... what a fuck up
lol well all i can say is living in so cal rocks right now nobody gives a shit about weed out here, there's shops everywhere, and it's almost like it is legal anyway...
The FDA...is this the same FDA that wants to vaccinate babies....allows pigslop to be fed to young, developing minds in America's public schools and that regulates slaughterhouses with growth hormones and all kinds of other nasty shit? The FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION...you've got to be kidding me!
"Rob, Quickly, Your response to that"?... Why in most of the debate/argument/panel interviews do the Anti-Prohibition sides get short-changed on time allotted to present their case? I am so fed up with all this tippie-toe dancing around the issue. It's a big scam. Noone with the political power to correct things has the testicular fortitude to cut through the BS and lift the harmful prohibitions on the harmless/helpful plant. I had high hopes for Obama, but he's proving impotent too. Tragic Sad.
Rob had some very strong points there and I think he was gaining some ground. Unfortunately all we ever get is just a few minutes. They need to have a whole hour set aside for a much more in-depth discussion. There are too many strong arguments to be made in only 4 minutes.
I like how this whole debate could be ended if someone mentions we're fucking prescribing kids legal AMPHETAMINE (Adderall and Ritalin)......xDDD

the reason thc exists in the first place is to protect the marijuana plant from uv damage, so no, its not a plant from gods or watever you believe in, it just evolved over time to survive in its changing environments, just like humans did

C'MON AMERICA!! Legalize weed. In Canada, our government won't even consider legalizing weed because of the threats from your government to halt border traffic if we do. We need you people to push your government to legalize, so ours can follow suit. The time it took you to write a post here, is the same amount of time it would take to email your local government representative and push for legalization!!

These demoniac anti-marijuana propagandists hide behind the laws of morality so they can justify the chemical alteration of Gods natural herbal plants into a control substance. They done this with the Cocaine plant, the Opiate poppy plant and numerous others, which have become illegal street substances and dangerous to those that use it. I have tried Marinol and believe me it is nothing the like vapor inhaling of Marijuana. The sensation from it is very scary.
Ourfriend722 2 years ago
Marinol and the other such like pharmaceuticals that are approved or will be approve by the FDA only signifies that yes, it is an assertion of these anti-marijuana propagandist, that the substance within the Marijuana plant has medical value or else the pharmaceutical companies would not be taking the time to produce it. The hidden agenda here is that investors and share holders want to capitalize and monopolize the capitol gains received from the sales of a product produced from Marijuana.

David Evans says the tax revenue from alcohol and tobacco does not cover the cost to society. This means people, that we the tax payers are subsidizing these industries. Whats wrong with that? Marijuana does threaten our society like booze and smokes. Its time for rational policy change. It may not be perfect, that is only the goal of every law but it is far better and safer.

I disagree with anderson coopers statement when he said that legalizing marijuana is a "complicated issue" and that "both sides use science to prove their points"

B.) the pro legalization side used truth backed up by intelligent scientific facts, the con side uses brain washing lies and biased moral opinions. the bottom line; rob kampia is a patriot, the bald guy is a cock sucking tool

Alcohol - Legal - 50,000 deaths/year
Tobacco - Legal - 400,000 deaths/year
Marijuana - Illegal - 0 deaths/year
So... it's illegal... Why? Because it will have "social costs"?! You're already wasting billions of dollars keeping it illegal!

I would argue the social costs of a a continued war on drugs has far more of a detrimental impact on our budget, and liberty, than a model of legalization ever could.
Apparently if it killed people it is more likely to be legal.

The issue should not be whether it is 'healthy' or of 'medical value' but whether you can claim to be a free society by not letting people choose whether or not to use Marijuana themselves. If you don't like it, don't use it. Don't criminalise so many people for disagreeing (that is tyranny) or claim that they need 'protecting' from said drug (that is elitist and patronising).

David Evans is wrong
Marijuana should be legalized to keep the pot money out of the hands of criminals. There is also lots of ways pot can be used for industrial ways such as rope, paper, cloth, seed oil, and building materials. The reason it is not legal yet is because the lobbiests of the above companys are against it because they will loose money in sales due to the competition with the legal Marijuana market.

And the main reason this world has to stop spoiling criminals with easy to grow materials with high profit.

I'm confused on David's logic. If alcohol and tobacco are so bad, then why are they legal? While pot is illegal? Shouldn't the less harmful products like pot be legal first? His argument doesn't make much sense.
PancakeRecipes 2 years ago
Yes, but many of these turds would like to see alcohol and tobacco illegalized as well and be in the same boat as weed. They want ALL psychoactive drugs to be criminalized - except religion. But they know it has already been tried and it failed, and they would lose a lot of support if they said so openly. They preach to the smokers and drinkers of the evils of "drugs" and garner support. Someone should ask these fuckers openly if they would support a bill for making ALL psychoactives illegal.
empbac 2 years ago 2
This is just a matter of discrimination. The in-power party (the relatively conservative Christians) see the counter-culture as a threat, and so uses them as a scapegoat and oppresses their freedom. Think of it like Nazi Germany. Personally, I think drug users need to stop taking this shit lying down. We make an easy target. We should revolt.
Marinol/Dronabinol is the synthesized version of THC - it's the same fucking thing. Yet it's patented and sold as medication by Big Pharma. Surprise!
