Activist Who Smoked In Canadian Parliament Smokes Again on CBC

[5147848amp]

2:30 or so: There is no goddamned link between cannabis and lung cancer. Can't these media giants cast even the most cursory of glances at the research before broadcasting piffle nationwide?

I think Marijuanna should just be legalized, but under the same strict (if not greater) legal paradigm as alcohol. Whether it has harmful effects or not is one thing, but the fact is it messes you up. How does that translate into society? Alcohol has proved to have devastating effects on the road and off. Adding marijuanna to the equation will likely make things worse. Next thing you know, cocaine and worse is legalized, because some idiots found cocaine to be useful.

[WoodslyRules]

@logicCplusplus your an idiot

[WoodslyRules]

@logicCplusplus why does such an idiot have the word logic in their name? 

[Slowsis]

@WoodslyRules Name calling instead of logical debate is generally looked down upon by intelligent people. Now do you have a point or did you just want to troll.

[boomheadshot321]

@logicCplusplus

I don't think you understand what you're saying. Marijuana is already in the "equation" thanks to the blackmarket...this ongoing prohibition is scary and causing otherwise normal functional members of society to be locked up in privatized prisons to generate profit.....buuuut I won't let facts get in the way of your nonsensical argument. Good day.

[PlannedObsolescence]

Can you imagine if a guy did that on the floor of the Senate here in the U.S.? HAHAHAHA!!!!

[Castigar2000]

Did he just give that reporter a contact buzz at the end there? lol

[freewheelin19]

@Castigar2000 LOL! contact buzz: they love me when im on that stuff...!

[rdgloveshouse]

Love this guy.

one thing I'm wondering about though... I've done a bit of research into where your allowed to smoke up.. it seems hazy.. but from my understanding someone with a medical liscense is allowed to smoke wherever a tobacco smoker can... so wouldn't he not have been able to toke on air???

[PlannedObsolescence]

YAY FOR CANADA!!!!!! You guys are awesome!

[rootbeerlover445]

Wow that interviewer is an idiot trying to connect lung cancer to marijuana smoking is ridiculous, I tell you what show us some dam proof and I'll believe it , conservative asshole

[rdgloveshouse]

@rootbeerlover445 um... i think he was implying that smoke in general can damage your lungs (which IS a proven fact, no matter how harmless cannabis actually is). and Sam himself even said that she can't smoke it due to her cancer. you should really think and not jump to conclusion before you post a comment. if the interviewer was that much of a "conservative asshole" he wouldn't have been so calm about what was going on lol

[RevGreen]

make it legal,make it green,make it NOW !!!

[mutalix]

Damn! Smooth operator! 0:55 "I lit up a joint" testament to cannabis's soothing properties .The guy is extremely down to earth. If only our stone age politicians and the corrupt pharmaceutical industry had their loved ones behind bars ,they would realize what destruction they wreck.

[jerryk2198]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

This dude is a Savage!!!

"at approx 3 o'clock, i got the lighter and..... i lit up a joint"

This guy harversts like 50 pounds every 2 weeks

his grow is the biggest med grow in canada!!!

watch Marijuana Nation

[philosphrstone]

grass will never be decriminalized in north america... the pharmaceutical companies can't let it happen as it'd be bad for business and they have a lot of stroke.

[yiyopr1]

@philosphrstone It's already decriminalized in many US states... You obviously don't know the difference between decriminalized and legal..

[philosphrstone]

@yiyopr1 Oh, I thought, like here in Canada, that only people with a prescription could have it in decriminalized places... of course, what I meant is LEGALIZE it. Here, people can get a prescription but aside from a few places there is nowhere to get it legally.  In fact, our parliament is about to pass a new legislation called bill S-10 that will effectively impose mandatory minimum sentences on anyone who grows it... so much for progress.

[yiyopr1]

@philosphrstone Damn it I didn't know Canada is about to do that :(. I'm actually going to Vancouver tomorrow for some good skiing!

Here in the US what we mean by decriminalize is that we don't get arrested and charged for using marijuana or possessing it if its under an ounce, we just get a small fine and that's it. But that's only in like 14 states. In all other states we would get prosecuted, scary shit...

[wesoliver]

legend!!!

[GraffitiKing187]

Thumbs up if they need to legalize weed in the United States and Canada!

[jerry757]

Just like im doin now

[RunsWitGuns]

only in Canada

[MoneyIsSilver]

Awesome, but he should of had a way bigger joint

[chaseef]

There are all the pragmatic reasons in the world for legalization. Reduced gangs, reduced underage use, medical reasons etc.... But the ideological reason i stated below is all we should need to cite.

[chaseef]

Fuck this medical marijuana argument. It should be legal because its no ones business what you do in your own home as long as your not hurting, endangering or defrauding anyone.

Conservatives, people who typical are in favour of the drug war, have to concede to you if you put it to them that way if they want to be true to their ideology.

[groooveman85]

niiice

[cht232323]

What a fucking loser. This is exactly why Gov doesn't want to legalize this shit, or make it easy to get, because these are the type of idiots that want it legal. If the stoner's actually went through the correct steps and acted normally, they would get what they wanted a lot faster. Bureaucracy's don't work fast, that is the point of them, be patient you fucking losers.

[Natrix918273]

@cht232323 dude it says ACTIVIST in the title, his actions are intended to change the system, and the more drastic your actions, the more likely you'll be heard. Have you ever heard of any activist acting out in a politically sound manner, you fucking loser?

[EON352]

and i just lit up a bowl..

props to sam.

[larrydallas187]

the MMAR program is a nightmare

[MrLukasart]

OH CANADA, OUR HOME AND NATIVE LAAAAAANNNNN !!!

[NZartfuldando]

Cannabis has zero correlation with lung cancer. There have been no cases of cannabis contributing to any form of cancer, and there have in fact been studies suggesting that cannabis can actually help REDUCE the risk of lung cancer. Pity he didn't mention that, but it's positive publicity for cannabis nevertheless. LEGALIZE ALREADY!!!

[plucault]

@NZartfuldando Listen i'm all for legalizing pot for everyone but i'm sick of both sides twisting the facts, arguments like this set back the legalization movement. Of course smoking pot causes lung cancer. Sitting around camp fires cause lung cancer, if you smoked lettuce it would cause lung cancer. Taking any burning substance into ur lungs will cause lung cancer, of course cigarettes are much worse but, dont be a tool. Pot does not cure lung cancer, jesus thats rediculous

[blite13]

@plucault WRONG, show your proof of lung cancer.

[Clockninja]

@plucault studies have shown no evidence of a link to lung cancer with cannabis. look it up

[farfetchedcat]

Dude poor Evan Sam didn't even offer any and he was eyeing out that baby like he was just dying for a hit to

I love this guy (BIG BALLS MAN Big)

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

The Alex Jones radio show discusses internet censorship & freedom of speech on Feb. 7, 2010. So Ronnie Smith gets on the air & tells them he was using Rick Simpson's Cancer Cure Hemp Oil & had cured over 100 terminal cases. They hung up on him & cut out his entire phone call from the archives. While another Texas radio station has interviewed Rick Simpson (& Dr. Melamede). You Tube ... "Rick Simpson on Hemp Oil - OneRadioNetwork (Part 1 of 4)"

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

"I believe that it's very possible that some people are in fact getting cured (using Rick Simpson's Cancer Cure Hemp Oil) in 30-60 days from being treated with Cancer. I think that's a distinct possibility again in animal studies & in tissue culture it kills Cancers. Do I believe that it's possible absolutely, but no nobody's going to do the studies. Because none of these drug companies are going to make money, because they can't patent the plant."

[LushKush1]

keep smokin that holy herb

[hls1974]

And keep your conspiracy theories to yourself. If it worked as advertised, it wouldn't be a secret. The world would know.

[PoisonMushrooms]

@hls1974 Do a search for "Cured: A Cannabis Story (A Film By David Triplett)"

[fight2legalize]

@hls1974 It's not a secret. It's out. The pharmaceutical companies want to keep it a secret. Hope you figure out the truth.

[hls1974]

Take off the rose-colored glasses. I want it legalized as much as the next guy, but the stuff is NOT magic and can NOT do the stuff he says it does. Show me STUDIES and factual information, not anecdotal evidence and maybe I'll believe. BUT - if it's too good to be true, it almost certainly is. Wishing it to be true doesn't make it so. Marijuana does have legitimate uses but it's not a magical cure-all.

[BenjaminFranklin2u]

@hls1974 Your ignorance of the studies doesn't mean they don't exist. I suggest you do some reading. Although I would agree there it's not magic, but it does shrink tumors, which has nothing to do with magic.

[julesburt]

one key issue with the MMAR is i does not allow extracts - hash or budder...i.e. the actual medicinal content cannot be extracted.

So people are limited to smoking or cooking.

[thelittlediablo]

@julesburt to cook it is to extract it... that's what this whole argument is about >.>

[onlyonekathy]

I can legally take pills that can shut down my liver and kidneys and can overdose..ALL from pharma drugs. MEDICAL MARIJUANA IS a gift that has saved my life. Instead of 7 meds a day I take none. I utilize all forms of medical marijuana to help with the chronic pain. The government needs to keep their laws off my body!!

[slade420]

best news clip ever!

[shitydrumer]

YEAAAAAAAAAAA RIGHT ON TV i love it why didnt they let him finish it lol

[m00se321]

Reporter is going to get HIGH,,lol

[fight2legalize]

Some one with LUNG CANCER can vaporize or ingest hash oil and cure cancer. Watch Run from the Cure-The Rick Simpson Story. Hash or Honey oil can cure cancer.  It is a fact!

[Kitsune340]

Nice. I think what we really need, though, is EDUCATION. Perhaps we can teach people that, no, Weed is NOT going to set you on the path to crack/meth/whatever. No, Weed will NOT rot your brain. No, Weed is NOT as bad as cigarettes. No, Pot smokers don't usually advocate smoking tobacco.

Jesus fucking Christ, I should run for PM. Give me 40 minutes and this country would be a better place. I would take the cash we save from legalizing it, and put it towards going after the nasty hardcore shit

[blingmow101]

I would like to shake this guys hand. That was very grey ash-nice flush!

[MrSlurmey]

nice video =) fight for your rights! and please vote yes on prob 19 !

[Blendeture]

The guy's a hero!

[pyledog]

GOOD FOR HIM! im tired of hearing the lame bullshit that peoples say "your not helping the movement , your setting it back by acting like this". bullshit. showing love for this beautifull plant is not setting it back, it is showing a human connection to it. and im sick of hearing people say otherwise. live and let live people. life will be alot better for you and me. legaaalizzeee itttttttt.

[Redsteel46]

hero fo sho

[Robstailey]

weed cures cancer

[fight2legalize]

@Robstailey Hash Oil cures cancer. You can't just say weed. That's when people get confused. Everyone MUST SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT "RUN FROM THE CURE-THE RICK SIMPSON STORY". To get the full medicinal effects you have to make the oil and vaporize it, ingest it, or use it topically. Must thumbs up this comment so people are more likely to get exposed to this info. Copy and past this comment as well. Please help me spread the word. Must be like a virus! LEGALIZE!

[hls1974]

@fight2legalize

Rick Simpson is a quack. There are many legitimate uses, but Rick Simpson is bad for the effort.

[BlindMaphisto]

@hls1974 What do you base that claim on?

[fight2legalize]

@hls1974 Harvard even done a study that said cannabis stops cancer. Princeton even went as far as saying it grows brain cells.

[rogerlee337]

damn this guy rocks... i love canadians

[Juggyclownin]

@rogerlee337 Im American but hell yeah, canadians are the shit. i love em.
