idk wuts so hard to undrstnd about this how can u accruately measure use i mean how many ppl r actually telling the truth about how much and when or even if they use i doubt many now WHEN it is legalized ya im sure use will go up a bit but it WONT go up with teens a lot and eventually will go down it willno longer be THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT
The opposed to marijuana always turn the story down some side street and start talking about every other drug. Stick to the story topic if we wanted to go down some side street for one if alcohol is legal then why are some alcohols illegal? And then theres cigarettes. Everything u chose to do is your drug. Why does the government force use to use the drugs they choose?
I wonder if Brian Darling has read Steve Fox's book as I am right now. All the answers to his ill informed points are in the book which is well researched for those facts. I'm sick of these opinionated people who have not got the facts straight or are just plain burying their heads in the sand and ignoring the basic human rights of choice and freedom. Nobody is forcing people to smoke! It is a choice and as so called free people it should be the individuals right to decide what they consume.
When my parents cought me with weed they sent me to a phycologist. My phycologist said that mpp was wrong and was just wanting kids to smoke weed so they could get money. WhAt he doesn't know is thAt fox news is paid by a bunch of filthy rich bankers who's ansestors made weed illegal becuase of his black ass! Fuck my phycologist imma smoke weed 3rry d@y!
I was a very frequent smoker but had to stop to get a new job where I was going to be drug tested. I haven't smoked in over a month and I'm not pulling my hair out because I need to smoke.
What this douchebag is failing to recognize is that with pot legal, law enforcement would have better resources to adequately enforce the prohibition of "harder" drugs like coke, meth and H. Also, the revenue going to drug smugglers would be decreased by at least 50%. And he KNOWS that he's lying when he says "gateway drug" but he says it anyway because he's on tv. I want to spit in his face. lol
cannabis has been proven not to be a gateway drug in university studys however the guy who was against pot use was otherwise truthfull honest and respectfull his points are semi legit sot thats a bonus most of the time anti pot actavists feed lies i will take his perception on the Gateway issue an a misconception
marijuana is not addictive.........marijuana is more available to kids....when its sold on the street....if its sold in a store its going to be harder for minors to purchase it.....doctors prescribe oxycontin, opana, perks, etc to people on a daily basis....and legalizing weed will is less harmful than any of that shitttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt......down with gestapo.....down

There are two ways to take down the gateway theory. First of all it has been debunked by both studies and statistics. Second of all the only way it would lead to someone using a harder substance that they wouldn't ordinarily use is because it is on the illegal market. It is on the same market where cocaine and heroin is sold and pot users are introduced to these substances because of it. If marijuana were legal and could be sold in stores, pot users and drug dealing thugs would never meet!

I don't think this statistic helps Brian. "High school usage of marijuana has gone down since 1979" (2:13)...Then he says how making more available would increase our problem. What problem? The only problem is that its illegal!
the people who oppose pot use make them selves look foolish, by getting all riled up. haha when you look at the calm collected pro pot using debater, he looks good.
no one said a damn thing about legalizing cocaine heroin and all the other drugs he mentioned. stop dodging the fucking truth u stupid mother fucker. you were on to argue why marijuana is so damn bad not PRETEND that were trying to get hardcore shit legal. ignorant mother fucker need a bat to the dome.
" gateway drug that leads to other drugs such as cocaine and heroin" ok guys Ive smoked pot for 7 years. NEVER done coke NEVER done heroin. only other drug I've experimented with was xanax. and Ive only done that like 3 times. so when does the gateway part come in?
I'm pretty sure that if you eat it, it's far less harmeful than smoking it anyway, i'd like to see a study or have a doctor tell me if there are any physical siide effects or damage from eating it. as far as mental issues, yeah i know it does affect some people in this way badly, but alcohol can do the same thing and many other things, risk in everything you do, just less risk with marijuana than most things i think, not like its chemically altered like coke or other things
Water is a gateway to Crack Cocaine! 100% of people who have done crack have been heavy water users. Ill-intentioned people can and will spin statistics to "prove" whatever lies they are telling. The gateway theory has thoroughly been debunked. People who try to use the gateway theory in defense of prohibition simply cannot be trusted, for they are either stupid or lying.
cancer, helps prevent cancer, only a gateway drug because they think illegal drugs will be ok because marijuana isnt bad, there hasnt been a reported overdose in 5,000 years and has basically been proven to be almost physically impossible. it may not be healthy, but cigarettes and alcohol are so much worse and there have been many tests to say motor skills on weed are much better on weed then alcohol and doesnt generally make ppl pissed off like alcohol

the whole "gateway drug" deal has been debunked since the beginning of time it seems, I wonder why they still keep bringing it up. If ANYTHING is "gateway drug" than surely it is tobacco or alcohol, since these are the first drugs people try before illegal ones.
Hollywood pill poppers have nothing to do with potheads. burn that idiot propagandist or send him onto his "gateway" to hell. draw the line after pot. that's all there is to it. I'd lace that guys food with ganja given the chance. What a duesh

Funny how prohibitionists struggle to articulate an argument against cannabis without introducing the words "cocaine" "heroin" and "methamphetamine" in their sentences.
@albikavo I know that is just very stupid! Uuugh it makes me want to shit in a bucket and throw it at his face. I loved the news reporter "doesn't lead to overdose" YES ONE UP!!!!
this guy on here told me some one has died from lung cancer from weed. i thought no one has ever died from weed. someone prove to me some one has died from it,
@pimpint6900 inhaling burning plant matter can't do any good, regardless of what kind of plant it is... but think about how much you are smoking... even an everyday habitual pot smoker has to be smoking less than 4-5 cigarettes worth of plant matter a day, compared to a 4 times that much for a pack-a-day smoker. I've smoked cannabis a several times a month for 4-5 years now and I bet i've smoked less plant matter than 4-5 packs of cigarettes
15 years from now they'll look at the heritage guy like he was a witch burner from the 1600's (a nut ball looking out for himself)
all government information that negatively shows marijuana is false. this plant will be so useful to humans it is incredible. industrial hemp alone will help in so many ways with practical natural solutions. it worked at the founding of the US and it will help during our hard economic times.

How would it be more available to kids if there is an age restriction in place and regulated establishments will have to card these young people?! All the prohibitionist resort to are fear tactics and the "OHHH IF IT is legalized the world will somehow going to come to an end. " Totally absurd, stop the BS! We know what the prohibitionist want and that is more drug violence, more prisons, more arrests, more prosecutions, and more bloated bureaucracy coming from organizations like the DEA.
I love the phony scare tactics this guy uses to frighten our good wholesome prescription addicted nation. I sometimes think big pharma tries to keep it illegal because its grown medicine
@all you nerds...My favorite argument against the gateway theory is that if it were true that there was some causality between smoking marijuana and doing other drugs then the rate of use of those drugs would increase at an equal rate as marijuana use. however, that is not the case...
no drug is good. its FAR better than vicadin. i was addicted to that shit for two months. i mean addicted 7-8 pills a day it started when they gave me it for my broken foot. when i had to quit (cus i ran out)i was horribly depressed for two weeks. so when it came time to get my wisdom teeth out. i smoked pot through my nose and not only did it work faster and better but i wasnt addicted! when my teeth healed i quit. i still use it recreationally once every couple of months, but thats it.
no he's dumbdont draw the line on something less harmful. noone will ever be for legalizing cocaine or heroine. . thats dumb. why punish ppl for realizing alcohol destroys lives much more often then pot.and to me its a gateway drug cus the only ppl who could be examples of this, started smoking at an early age anyway. those are the type of kids who want to be bad ass. i would like to see a study that shows that the earlier you start it the more likely you are to go on to hard drugs.
It is only a gateway drug because it is illegal. Dealers try to push other harder drugs to marijuana buyers and obviously some will try those. If legalized, there would be no gateway whatsoever. Studies have shown that cannabis has no physical property that would lead to other drugs.
I'm a mother as well as a Registered nurse. I would much rather have my boys smoking pot then drinking! ANYDAY! You have never heard of ANYONE EVER overdosing on marijuana. You have never heard of ANYONE smoking a joint and driving into a tree. It's just common sense to me, and thats just from a recreational standpoint. The medical benefits from marijuana are astounding! It's helped everything from allowing cancer patients to eat, to cluster headaches and menstrual cramps.
@timothygurgir You are right about everything except the driving into a tree thing. The few deaths related to marijuana are from car crashes or other accidents. Just want to make sure you know that DWI is never good!
I think a better pro-leglization speaker could've been chosen. Californians especially need someone charismatic and persuasive to convince those on the fence to vote for leglization this November.
But we aren't talking about legalizing cocaine or other harder drugs. The only way he can make it look bad is by trying to associate it with harder drugs and that's what he is trying to do.
they state its harmful but will never give a reason how its harmful, why? because its not. and teens will do it wether any one likes it or not. no one has ever died from weed. look at how many people die from tobacco and alcohol a year. the guy who is against it is stupid. he knows nothing.
@crvskate Anyone whose done even a minor amount of research into the health consequences of marijuana should know that even though carcinogens exist in the smoke that the bud produces, it has been proven that cancer does not result and has never resulted in any documented case in history. It's obvious you haven't done your research if you still believe your point.
@teakthek plus, there's always the option to vaporize or ingest, which leaves virtually no health risks (there are more carcinogenics in most food than in non-combusted cannabis)
Except it's only a gateway drug as long as it's illegal. In places where it is legal, it is not a gateway drug. The reason it's a gateway drug is b/c it is illegal. Stupid man...
Does he have any evidence to back up his claims that people (and kids) will be smoking more pot if it becomes legalized??? That's the not the case with amersterdam or in states in the U.S. where it has become decriminalized.
Dude's using the same, unfounded, debunked arguments from the 80s. Gateway drug? Statistically unfounded. Dependency? Nonsense. "Cocaine & Heroin... Where do you end?" Right now, the debate is on marijuana. While we're at it, why doesn't America lose what little control they have over alcohol and tobacco by making THEM illegal? That would jive nicely with the prohibitionist's arguments.
No amount of money, police powers, weaponry, diminution of rights and liberties, wishful thinking or pseudo-science will make our streets safer; only an end to prohibition can do that. How much longer are you willing to foolishly risk your own survival by continuing to ignore the obvious, historically confirmed solution?
If you still support the kool aid mass suicide cult of prohibition, and erroneously believe that you can win a war without logic and practical solutions, then prepare yourself for even more death, corruption, terrorism, sickness, imprisonment, unemployment, foreclosed homes, and the complete loss of the rule of law and the Bill of Rights.
People are using too much DRUGS! Pot will help cut down on oxycotton vicodein and codine. This man is severly undereducated and has NO business debating the issue unless his job is to make his side look stupid. Oh wait ya haha! Keep spewing your propaganda dumb ass you help our ause with your stupidity.
Its easier to get if ur a teen. In phx alot of teens in my highschool sold weed, not just used it. Maybe 1 out of 6 people used or sold weed and it might of been higher since alot of people kept it on the down low.
And weed is only a gate way drug because the majority of people have to go to a gang banger to get there weed. And cartels and there clients dont just sell weed they sell whatever you want. If i bought weed and a local store they probably wouldnt have cocaine ready to sell.
legalizing cocaine and heroin? I have never seen 1 person say legalize cocaine or heroin.. it should be decriminalized and made a health problem not a criminal problem
gateway my ass, i drank milk first so then i started drinking alcohol. This theory is so fucked it's not funny. Also in Amsterdam where it is legal, less people use it there than hear percentage wise and number wise. They say its like this because they make it seem boring and dont punish ppl for its use, soooo brian what do u have to say to that u fucktard.
legalizing it would make it harder for kids to get it... just like alcohol you would need an id and get it from a store... while its illegal they could just get it from anyone... fuck ignorance... dont even fucking think...
That Brian guy gets both angry and defensive, a good sign that he knew he was losing the argument. Saying weed is a gateway drug is a total lie and he knows it... saying more teens will use weed if legal is a total lie!!! In high school it is easier to get pot than alcohol for most kids! Legalization and regulation will actually make it less accessable and less cool for kids! Just look at Amsterdam (decriminalized/tolerated) for proof!
"We're not saying that this is the best thing for you."
Uh, I am. It is good for you. Really good for you in fact. Especially if used vaporized or as an edible. But even smoked, no one is getting cancer from it, so I don't see why we need to go with the institution's view that it's a given that it's not good for us. Where are the figures on this showing this given harm?
Great work though guys, truly, you're doing priceless work for us all. I just had to share this concern on this one thought.
@CannabisHeals well smoked say though a joint or a pipe with no filtration straight smoke i would say that yes it is harmful just minimal damage is all and i agree vaporized you dont even feel it
He says that a lot more people are using alcohol , but he misses the fact that most people only use 1 drug( except for cigarettes with go with everything I guess...). If we see people moving from alcohol to weed , then this would definitely be a major leap for society. Marijuana can have various effects on the brain , some good , some bad... it's different depending on who smokes it , but It hardly touches your lungs and it does no damage to liver , digestive system etc. Legalize people :)
i love to see how fooled humans can get tbh.. its just so amazing that people like brian darling still exists :D, how can one be so narrow minded, so unfamiliar with reality :D.. imo, it must be something within the genom of these people.. something that makes them dumb as fuck, but still unable to die becaus of some unknown reason... stupid survivor syndrome, that must be it :S
where do i start for ripping this guy apart? i feel like he just built a house of toothpicks and handed me a bat
i guess my main complaint is that, i can get any drug i want within an hour so we need to change something and keeping marijuana illegal just makes me buy it from someone instead of from a store
When I was in high school, getting weed was sooo much easier than getting alcohol, and alcohol is legal. I think that legalizing weed will stop drug dealers from selling weed. That makes it harder for high school students to get it, cuz now they have to find someone 21 or older to get it for them. I don't know, I'm high and only theorizing =P
this guy is a tooL, he sounds like a 1940's Infomercial "Reefer Madness" anyone? Gateway drug? ya...uhh...go suck your thumb & tell me if that leads to suckin' dick, u moron! "We already have a drug & alcohol problem", ok I'll give u that one. But guess what? People are addicted to shit that does nothing but harm to you, eg>> Alcohol, Tobacco, Prescription Drugs. People shouldn't have their lives ruined for something the GOVT used to pay people to grow (pre-1937), it's a fucking planT!
The gateway drug theory is true for all of the reasons stated in Fujimoto420's post. The government forces a marijuana smoker to go and see an illegitimate dealer for their pot. This dealer, more often than not, has cocaine and/or heroin and/or meth etc. By forcing a buyer to go to a dealer the risk that the buyer comes into contact with stronger drugs skyrockets. Marijuana *is* a gateway drug, but it doesn't have to be.
more available to teens if legal? bullshit. it's harder to get alcohol as a teen than it is weed. why? cause dealers don't care how old you are, stores DO. if it was legal, dealers would go out of business, kids could only get their weed from someone who buys it for them over 21. it would be MUCH harder to get weed, this guy is an idiot
This gateway thing is bullshit. I've smoked pot for about 11 years now, and have NEVER even tried Cocaine or Heroine. This guy is just laughable. The only gateway effect is the damn dealers that only want to make more sales so they try to get you hooked on stronger stuff. THEY are the gateway, not marijuana. They just happen to sell pot as well because hey, it's more money for them.
every time somebody calls marijuana a gateway drug i want to steal an oil tanker and run it into their fuckin face.

I'm pretty sure that if you eat it, it's far less harmeful than smoking it anyway, i'd like to see a study or have a doctor tell me if there are any physical siide effects or damage from eating it. as far as mental issues, yeah i know it does affect some people in this way badly, but alcohol can do the same thing and many other things, risk in everything you do, just less risk with marijuana than most things i think, not like its chemically altered like coke or other things

Water is a gateway to Crack Cocaine! 100% of people who have done crack have been heavy water users. Ill-intentioned people can and will spin statistics to "prove" whatever lies they are telling. The gateway theory has thoroughly been debunked. People who try to use the gateway theory in defense of prohibition simply cannot be trusted, for they are either stupid or lying.

@pimpint6900 inhaling burning plant matter can't do any good, regardless of what kind of plant it is... but think about how much you are smoking... even an everyday habitual pot smoker has to be smoking less than 4-5 cigarettes worth of plant matter a day, compared to a 4 times that much for a pack-a-day smoker. I've smoked cannabis a several times a month for 4-5 years now and I bet i've smoked less plant matter than 4-5 packs of cigarettes

It is only a gateway drug because it is illegal. Dealers try to push other harder drugs to marijuana buyers and obviously some will try those. If legalized, there would be no gateway whatsoever. Studies have shown that cannabis has no physical property that would lead to other drugs.

And weed is only a gate way drug because the majority of people have to go to a gang banger to get there weed. And cartels and there clients dont just sell weed they sell whatever you want. If i bought weed and a local store they probably wouldnt have cocaine ready to sell.

The gateway drug theory is true for all of the reasons stated in Fujimoto420's post. The government forces a marijuana smoker to go and see an illegitimate dealer for their pot. This dealer, more often than not, has cocaine and/or heroin and/or meth etc. By forcing a buyer to go to a dealer the risk that the buyer comes into contact with stronger drugs skyrockets. Marijuana *is* a gateway drug, but it doesn't have to be.
