Cannabis legalization & Oaksterdam on Geraldo at Large

[RedroomStudios]

Jesse is the man! keep speaking out Governor!

[isaiahblack]

I"m a Canadian but from the outside looking in if I may make a couple suggestions for your next president: Ron Paul and Jesse Ventura

[Erinh1014]

@isaiahblack Right! I was just thinking the exact same thing after watching this interview. I was thinking how great it would be to have Ron Paul as President and Jesse Ventura VP, and then I scrolled down and read your comment,

[ajf5291]

I personally believe pot is disgusting, but I don't make decisions for others' lifestyles. However, marijuana causes a "high" in which a person is physically impaired. Alcohol does the same, but there are methods to determine the amount consumed. Since there is no test to monitor how "high" a person is, pot should remain illegal, or people will be careless about usage when driving or performing in the workplace.

AJF5291,

You're embarassingly unresearched.

#1- Police DO have field sobriety tests for pot that easily distinguish use within hours from use within a more distant time period. It also can tell a cop to what degree it is effecting motor response (just as a hand-to-nose test can with alchohol). I was a cop for 7 years.

#2- Even if legal, a private company is free to drug test, thereby ridding your 2nd concern.

#3- Why isn't paint thinner illegal? Nitrous? Glue? Etc? Think dammit.

[salvadory]

@ajf5291 wrong wrong wrong- marijuana use can be determined within hours - most cops will tell you the smell is enough to convict in most cases to make an arrest if the person is showing signs of impairment! - driving while high usually makes a person more alert and cautious hence the very rare drving while high accidents reported by the DEA and police studies- your "facts" are completely baseless!

If they legalize weed the dealers will start selling more blow and herion.....hey, one more good reason to legalize it.

[dangt06]

@hunclemike Yes when it's legalized I'm going to go buy some heroin and shoot it in my vein. Use your brain dude how would the legalization of weed increase the demand of heroin?

[hunclemike]

@hunclemike . I said that if you make a living selling dope(weed) and they legalize it, where do you turn? Jessie "The Body" Ventura said it himself @ 1:48. I think that these dealers will try to sell harder things, whether people buy them or not is another issue. I'm all for legalization and enjoy some fine, organically grown buds afterwork everyday, but never use hard drugs. We may be the exception to the rule. I guess we'll see who's right if it is legalized for recreational use, huh?

[radiolaugh]

[nabeek999]

[sweeden50]

woop woop

[instigator3087]

preach it jesse! preach it! its not rocket science

[gregorioc1]

Chavez has built Russian AK 47 factories in Venezuela to profit from the huge demand for weapons that arm the druglords from Peru to Bolivia as well as Colombia, Nicarauga, Guatemala, Honduras and YES, Mexico.

[ack303]

Go Jesse!

[tkotommygun]

hell yea speak Jesse!!!!!!!!!!!! 10/10 from me!!!!...i wish we had other brave people in the goverment..like ex GOV Jesse the body Ventura!!!!

[Soldier25FA]

Well said and completely accurate to the very last detail.

[gregorioc1]

@Soldier25FA

Not to the very last detail. Truth is that 90% of the guns used by the druglords are maufactured w/out serial #'s. 10% of weapons confiscated have serial #'s, and 90% of those w/ #'s are from the USA. Just thought i'd set the record straight.

[angeeL925]

10/10!!

[itchybo510]

[DrHarryDickman]

I like how Geraldo keeps his mouth shut... I definitely have more respect for him than other fox news propagandists.

[brushee]

I dont believe in legalising cannibis. As Jesse says"once you make it legal then the criminals will have to find something else". I should add that making something illegal does not make it dissappear but it does restricts its use to those that seek it and does not become readilly avaliable to whoever wants to try it. And if Grass is not as harmful as you say then let that be the illegal drug teenagers try. After all the fact that it is not legal is half the fun. Better that than somethng harder

[milanw]

that dude looks high in my eyes.

[juanpamarin]

well done jesse

[ic300x]

those that support illegalization

live in fear and denial of that fear

[TheLostRepublic]

alcohol withdrawals can kill you =D

[GirlsofMarijuana]

Finally a truly educated former govenor telling it as it is! Legalize it!

[vthokie900]

someone needs to show this to obama

[Louis69]

Now there is a guy with common sense. People need wake the fuck up on this issue. Just as he said for all those parents worried out there PARENT do your damn job and keep a watch on your damn kids thats all there is to it. Shit I know many parents that don't watch their kids as it is so its there own fault if their kids get into trouble.

[athews1976]

Wow, now this guy needs to run for president.
