Former Mexican president calls for legalizing marijuana CNN com news

[phraedusthamusicdigr]

Politicians always make sense when they are out of office.

[NosoCOMINSOON]

How come I never see these CNN hosts and these logical interviews in the U.S? Anyone? I keep seeing these news hosts on youtube that don't exist on t.v.. Interesting.

[NosoCOMINSOON]

No No No people we have got to keep this war on drugs going we become too connected when we smoke cannabis and do drugs I mean god forbid we do things like what happened in the 60's, like stopping the Vietnam War.

[TheOracleGreen]

No Mas Sangre!

Boycott Mexican Marijuana.

[Argentina2012]

open youre eyes.....

[fastacker2]

Vicente is an impressive guy. Can we elect him next?

[SuperNorthAmerica]

To all those who never have smoked pot, i feel sorry for you. You´re missing out. It´s like meditating, only difference is that with pot, you save time cause it´s faster. To me it´s a mistery why some people get paranoid when they smoke pot. Maybe they mix it with something else like alcohol or maybe they´re insecured little bitches. Who knows.

[Khmerv3]

i like this guy

[kelly2000398]

this guys smarter than obama

[turquoise770]

one group vigourously opposed to this is MBTRS--mexican border thugs for a responsible society --who have voiced alarm and concern about possible childhood obesity among hispanics. also joining in the tide against legalization is the group--BCWLA--black crack whores of LA-- who cite the dangers of possible violence and low test scores among their children

marijuana intoxication just makes you relaxed and euphoric, similar to alcohol. But colors are more vivid /beautiful, and music sounds more vivid and interesting. Regulation would ensure safety, and prevent criminals from profiting off of what the people agree and want. Did you know there was a time alcohol was illegal? and it put criminals in business, until alcohol was made legal again in the US? It is time for some common sense regarding marijuana classification, based on scientific studies

[AProbableAnomaly]

prohibition and classification of drugs should be based on scientific studies of harm /addiction, not public opinion /emotion. Non-biased scientific studies have confirmed marijuana is less addictive /harmful than legally classed drugs ie. alcohol, cigarettes, Tylenol, caffeine. legal drugs like alcohol, you can reach overdose levels above intoxication (ie. alcohol overdose is alcohol poisoning). Cigarettes are highly addictive. Marijuana is impossible to overdose, not one single known overdose

[AProbableAnomaly]

Responsible autonomous decision makers should have the right to make decisions about themselves in the privacy of their own home. users of highly addictive drugs ie. cocaine are not autonomous decision makers, they have no choice of use it's SO addictive. A child isn't yet an autonomous decision maker, isn't yet able to make fully informed /responsible decisions. effects of drug use on a growing person's body ie. during pregnancy can be much more harmful than on adult

[AProbableAnomaly]

prisons overflow with 'non-violent criminals'. lose otherwise productive member of society, other taxpayers must pay for him to sit in jail. Driving drunk should be illegal, not drinking! Disproportionate punishment for marijuana use. A person could spend life dedicated or studying, but if chose marijuana intoxication for recreation instead of other more harmful and addictive drugs, never again able to find respectable job.'non violent criminals' more punishment than child molesters /murders?!

[AProbableAnomaly]

we send 'non-violent criminals' into overflowing prisons. Instead of educating/treating people addicted to highly harmful drugs, and clearly mentally sick, we manufacture criminals. Police have better things to do with their time and are there to serve and protect us and the community, even if from ourselves and highly addictive and highly harmful drugs. Marijuana is not highly addictive, and is not highly harmful. The most harmful thing about marijuana use is the disproportionate punishment

[AProbableAnomaly]

because moderation /balance of anything in your life is key. Addiction to TV /Videogames causes many students to drop out, don't take the time to study, effort and dedication. spending a Friday night drinking or smoking is completely harmless, it's when you use any drug (legal or illigal) for escapism or with abuse that you run into a problem.Moderation /responsible balance is key. Marijuana is rated less harmful /addictive than legally classified drugs. it's intoxication is similar to alcohol

*LEGALIZE MARIJUANA*

[karlphillips1]

wow this guy really knows where its at.If only all politicians had the same view.Legalize marajauana but tax it to put something back into the economy.

[Sergionewyork]

I am from Mexico. .....decriminalize the consumption of small amounts of drugs constitutes a step in the right direction. NOW YOU MUST DO IT.... DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR CONSTITUTION..... YOU ARE A BABY COUNTRY ANYWAY!

[cerve414]

What this would do is reduce the spending of the mexican law enforcements. too much tax money being spent on campuring individual with small amounts of drugs. this action would free up law enforcement to concentreta on the real big amount of drugs.

VICENTE FOX ES UN TRAIDOR.

[christianz2010]

@buopesado why?

[iikkjslsjjiuhs]

Mexico's new narcotics laws go into effect.

Mexico Legalizes Drug Possession!

:-D

Now, just *raise* that "minimum personal possession and usage" level, say, to 1 TON of marijuana, cocaine and LSD. :-P

[ZMT77]

not legalization, decrim.

[iikkjslsjjiuhs]

The decision by the Mexican government to decriminalize the consumption of small amounts of drugs constitutes a step in the right direction after decades of failed policy, said Juan Carlos Hidalgo, the Cato Institutes project coordinator for Latin America. It is in line with efforts by other Latin American leaders and governments who are increasingly skeptical of Washingtons prohibitionist drug policies.

prohibition is a big failure

CANCER CURE = RICK SIMPSON'S HEMP OIL

[peterprlt]

Is this true

I have honestly seen scientific reports that say that chemical compounds in cannabis cure cancer? I just read that it helps colon cancer

please why doesn't the government want the research???

they've done tumor tests on mice and it kills the tumors!

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

peterprlt

Rick Simpson's Cancer Cure Hemp Oil is Cannabis extract full of Cannabinoids (including THC).

Dr. Melamede ... "Cannabinoids kill Cancer Cells"

Dr. Liu ..."THC can kill Cancer Cells"

Dr. Di Marzo ... "THC exhibits anti - tumor effects on various Cancer Cell types"

Dr. Guzman ... "THC can promote the autophagic death of human and mouse Cancer Cells"

[peterprlt]

thank you for the info =]

[buopesado]

is that true

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

buopesado ...

Visit my channel for all the proof you need!

[thatguyyoudontfeel]

What's so fun about marijuana? I haven't seen one person say why they like it.. All they say is that it's cool. I tried it once I just felt normal but had anxiety from it.. What's so cool about anxiety? And what's so cool about feeling normal? Explain with your best sentence... And how come in afroman's because i got high song one lyric states: "i ruined my whole damn life because i got high" and he seems happy about it? Explain now!!

[queenville]

well marijuana affects people differently. i guess most of the people feel relaxed and forget about the troubles of life for a second. i agree marijuana isn't something really amazing and it doesn't give you huge amounts of pleasure, but that's the main reason it's not that dangerous after all. so when people want marijuana to be legal they want so because of the principle that there's more dangerous drugs available and they have to get punished while it's not harming anyone

[queenville]

also there are generally lots of good things about marijuana. it can be treated as a medicine, legalizing it would probably decrease criminality and life would be easier for those who want to smoke it. there are a lot of other things too just use google and find out.

[thatguyyoudontfeel]

All the stoners i have seen are assholes and wiggers.

[queenville]

maybe they are assholes and wiggers just because they are assholes and wiggers and not because they smoke weed

[thatguyyoudontfeel]

Everyone here that smokes it acts the same. I have yet to find a nice person who smokes weed.

[christianz2010]

@thatguyyoudontfeel here i am=D

[MPETE1976]

Someone will read this as:

Doctors say THC promote death of humans.

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

MPETE1976

I think most people would visit my channel to research my statement "Rick Simpson's Cancer Cure Hemp Oil is Cannabis extract full of Cannabinoids (including THC)".

Ted Kennedy R.I.P.

Google "pubmed"

Enter words "Cannabinoids Glioma"

[DisintersGroup]

aww, but the poor cops will have to find real criminals to apprehend.

[automatonblogs]

That just basically summed (?sp) up my thinking. I could go into this matter for hours...

[MPETE1976]

Do you have ANY idea how dangerous real criminals are? It would be crazy to go after them.

[DisintersGroup]

too much to ask of law enforcment making $40,000+/yr

[SolarEXtract]

Legalize it. Tax it. Regulate it. For adult use only. Let's do this already.

[automatonblogs]

Amen brother :)
