Marijuana (and consumers) are the primary elements of a made up boogy man designed to distract from the ACTUAL threat...hemp.
A revitalized hemp industry will make it immediately obvious that we have been lied to and criminalized for no other reason than to further enrich the robber barons of the post industrial age. That age has passed and the current generation of miscreants is left holding the bag. They're losing this battle and they don't like it.
Hey Floyd Anslinger. People like you are not into real science. In 1971 the so called facts supporting Marihuana PRohibition was found to be false & or gravely exaggerated. The reasons people support Marihuana Prohibition is that they want to exercise their right to be ignorant and stupid.

Prohibition of Alcohol created the Organized Crime; which was small time hoodlums previously. Prohibition of Marijuana, besides criminalizing millions; has made Mexican drug cartels into a force that has destabilized Mexico to the point where is on the verge of being a 'Failed State'. The violence has been exported to America where Mexican Drug cartels now grow marijuana plantations.
If a state like Arizona can't enforce federal immigration laws, how can a state like California repeal federal drug laws???

Its all about MONEY. The people needs to ride up NOW and force the governments to legalize Canabis. It will help fighting the de-forestation, free up money for medical care and free up assets within police to fight REAL crimes. I don't smoke, i don't do any drugs, but i can see that this is all bullshit and needs to be sorted, but it's up to the people.

@alapoet wow you are clearly a dumb ass and you shouldn't embarrass your self in public. if all the statement made in this video are true then wouldn't it be logical to get in a real doctor or scientist instead of acting everything out.. common sense. secondly if you ever have take biology class you would see what weed really does to you.
@floyd617 So, do you really think it is convincing to other people when you pretend to know things that you don't?
Go read the research for yourself; every major reputable scientific study ever conducted on marijuana has concluded that is much less harmful than alcohol or even tobacco.
If you want to talk about "common sense," then "common sense" would be to check out the facts before you pretend -- in public! -- that you know what you are talking about, when you most obviously don't.
Every doctor and scientist in the video is a REAL doctor and scientist, you contemptible idiot.
They aren't "acting everything out," genius. They were interviewed for the video. I know everyone involved; don't pretend you know things when you obviously don't. It makes you look petty, ignorant, and above all, obnoxiously stupid.
LMAO@U for having no knowledge on this issue. You have embarrassed yourself with this reefer madness brainwashed ignorant comment. Take your own advice and do a little MORE research.. Oh, and don't get your information from the government next time. Why does Amsterdam have lower use of drugs than the United States? If the drug war is to reduce problems and costs with society, it needs only to legalize all drugs. To say otherwise is to continue to fund terrorism, gangs, cartels, etc.

@alapoet first of all if you don't base all your research on this false video and do a little research of yourself you will see that marijuana affects the reproductive system, affects the heart, lungs, and yea and even has a higher chance of causing cancer than cigarettes. All I'm saying is don't base this video as facts, even if you think I'm wrong do a little research for yourself and find out.
@floyd617 wrong again; you are really proud of your ignorance, apparently.
marijuana has not been shown to have any bad effects on reproduction, heart, lungs (in fact it helps PREVENT lung cancer, and protects the lungs from tobacco).
the video is based on facts. your statements are based on stupidity.
@floyd617 where do you do your research? your statement that "even has a higher chance of causing cancer than cigarettes" doesn't even make sense. every statistic out there, not just this video, proves that far less people die smoking weed, if any, than cigs. your probably some stuck up conservative who doesnt know how to interpret statistics.
@floyd617 So our governments are allowed to release well produced, scripted progaganda with no credible science backing it up. But when people who support canabis create something pro-cannsbis thats (well) produced and scripted you cry foul!

In a democracy it is the majority who are SUPPOSED rule. The majority of North Americans WANT pot LEGALIZED. All you people on a moral high-horse, you gotta be heavy boozers. You boozers are far more deadly than any pothead. I'd rather run into potheads on my way home from work at night, than a bunch of drunks. The potheads may laugh at you at worst, but the boozers will KILL you and not even remember what they did the next day. Legalize pot; is the democratic & moral thing to do.
Yeah hey what's with you Americans? I know a bunch of DC politicians that smoke pot. if Emery IS extradited to the states for selling seeds, I'm talking!!!
its really to bad you feel that krazed2kraze cause its safer then alcohol and yet we have that sold legally and it kills more. you might want to think about kids if you any too cause i'll bet if they are in middle school or highschool then they can buy pot from someone at school so if you want to control this substance you might want to think about legalizing it or atleast try to find out more facts about marijauna.

The thing is, there will always be a large portion of bad people who abuse their rights and will abuse this drug if it becomes legal. Simply for that reason, I can't say I would ever support legalising marijuana. It's sad that idiots in this world cost other innocent people a potential cure to sicknesses.
Then again, I've always felt the curing power of this drug to be overhyped by potheads who just want to smoke it legally.
@Krazed2Kraze Anything that brings pleasure to someone gets abused by certain individuals. When something has life saving abilities the debate should only be about how to get it not "Can I get it" Anyone can go get a bottle of aspirin right now or a bottle of cough syrup anytime. The abuse of those will can kill you. The real issue is the threat to certain industries and that has always been the real reason of Cannabis being illegal.
Having a drug legal or illegalized does not increase or decrease addiction your spitting logical fallacies on the web. If anything making a drug illegal after it has been established in culture increases the use of that drug (eg American Prohibition) this action saw more crime and a huge increase of underground users
People are going to abuse it, legal or not. At least if it's legal, further testing can be done so that people can be informed on the truth rather than propaganda.
For just a FEW medical uses, take a look at the cancer(dot)gov website.
This is by no means an extensive list, and there are nearly infinite industrial uses as well.
I have a whole new appreciation for Rick Steves. If you are diagnosed with any disease that can be helped, cured or palliated by cannabis, IT SHOULD BE YOUR RIGHT TO USE IT.
hemp plant is a useful herb yielding seed after its kind created and blessed by God on the third day of creation, and God saw that it was good. He gave hemp for people to use with our free will. The Bible predicted some herbs prohibitionNow the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times, some shall speak lies in hypocrisycommanding to abstain from the meats which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. Paul: 1 Timothy 4:1-3
I dont think marijuana is going to become legal soon because to many people are making to much money from it. Not that don't want it to become illegal but yeah.......
The public is still ignorant about marijuana. Lots of people still think it's dangerous, causes cancer(though not conclusively proven), think it's addictive, etc. If they took the time to compare it to alcohol and cigarettes in regards to health risks, toxicity, strength of addiction, intoxicating effects, they would soon change their mind. I'm not for prohibition of alcohol/cigarettes, so I'm DEFINITELY not in support of cannabis prohibition.
Sorry It's NOT Time For A Conversation, Its In FACT Time for Demands to be Met, Our Demands For LEGALIZATION Of Herbs,ALL Herbs That One Can Grow for Ones self, Rather than Pay Greedy Corporations the Exclusive "Right" to do so, Let this BullShit Continue & You Will All be banned from Growing your own lettuce and carrots,To protect business interests of course, @ a time of World Wide financial crisis, I shouldnt be making these Pleas, it should be fate a comple due to Common Sense not$interests
For The Past 27 Years I have personally (scientifically) every day not counting the past 7 months( thnx Arizer's Extreme) Trialed This Mysterious(Some say Dangerous,Willfull Fuckwits) HERB, Cannabis Sativa/Indica via Pyrolytic Bioassey(smoked da Shit)& found For A Fact, Cannabis IS Not Nor Ever Will B A Dangerous Drug, It Most Certainly is NOT ADDICTive For Me or anyone ive ever Met, It is a most Usefull Pain measure for The Spine in my Exp. moreso than 120 Mg daily of Morphine, Canna=ZERO Risk
It's time for conversation.And what is there to talk about?If I wanna smoke I'll smoke.And I don't need permission from any goverment or law inforcment for what I can or can't do with my body.
And one more thing.I think if you get arrested and jailed for marijuana you have the moral right to kill the one who locked you up and fucked up your life for something so moronic like smoking a plant.
Everyone, please, head over to the president-elect's transition team's website and vote for the question "Will you legalize the medicinal and recreational use of marijuana?" It had the top place at the end of the last round of voting and we need to do it again! Get EVERYONE you know to visit the site and vote. All votes MUST be in by the 15th, let's show Obama that we're serious about wanting marijuana law reform!
I agree it's very scripted looking, but there is some good information in there. I particularly got an aha from the fact that it is more dangerous to be caught with it than to actually use it.
Prohibition of Marijuana shows how the governament wants to control ourselves, and I really do not want anyone to control myself. If a marijuana join makes people happy,thats what accounts. The Governament never will stop people who likes to use the Power Plant ( famale) called Cannabis Sativa L. The Govenament wants you to drink and have a taboco cigarrete, but dont want you to have a join. Individual liberty Now ! I choose whats is ( or not) good to myself.
i agree whole heartedly with this effort to make MJ legal. if anyone has more information about groups pushing for legalization please send me a message with a link. i will put it on myspace, my college, and any other place i can think of.

This is more liberal crap. Everyone on these pot video's vote 'thumbs up' are just stoners not patients. They just want there street drugs cheaper and easier to get. Also mentioning hemp is bull, you don't smoke hemp and you don't make rope from pot!!!
Sure, George Washington was a liberal hemp farmer. LOL! Talk about brainwashed!
Why shouldn't patients recieve the best, and cheapest, drug that helps them? And why can't American farmers be growing our own fuel with industrial hemp? And finally why can you go drink a six pack after work and not be a criminal but someone who smokes a joint is?
Those who just don't see the hypocrisy of a war on nature perpetuate our self-destruction by allowing culture to further dis-empower and imprison us. Docrw and the majority of society are PROGRAMMED to embrace our cultural prejudices- alcohol, caffeine, prescription meds, fast food -all which LEGALLY KILL MILLIONS (psst-and they even get away with ADVERTISING FOR IT). Culture creates illusions while the psychedelics dissolve them.
Because I don't want to see the American society any worse then it is right now doesn't have anything to do with what you rehearsed here. Americans should be happy than this and not just looking to escape and be a bunch of stoned bums. We look terrible to other countries and it shows our weak side. Shameful!
? Happy w/ mediocrity, fascism & de-valuation of self!? You're programmed by a VERY SICK, BLIND, HYPOCRITICAL CULTURE. The reduced bandwidth of consciousness is due to many naive assumptions/illusions pertaining to "reality". We're multidimensional manifestations of energy..a universe experiencing itself w/ endless relativity. Man lies, the mushroom doesn't. THERE IS NO SHAME in using sacred plants to heal, gain insight & expand awareness to the infinite possibility of our soul! You're Welcome.
Oh yeah, if it was legal we would look like a weak nation(not). Its going to take along time to get rid of the capitalist, money grubbing, nosey, exploider, propaganda spewing, military abusing, witchhunting, diplomatic and brute force exercising its own agenda image this country has earned itself in the world. Legalization of cannabis is not going to do all that. Go read som actual history prick.
You paused, from your last post so you must have been stoned and forgot you were human or maybe you're not. Do you feel purposeful encouraging others to tune out and be stoned? I feel I'm doing a service in holding up what I have believed my whole life. I hope your kids smoke dope starting in grade school, maybe that will fix your perspective since your 23 and still in high school?!?
Your a looser for Giving yorself a thumbs up and me a thumbs down and looser for posting lies about me, I am not in high school and dont live with my parents, but thanks for being considerate: I wish I had been stoned when I typed the 1st comment(Im out of weed). Instead of Preaching your FUCKING STUPID BELIEFS, like all the people that do the most harm(religious extremists of all kinds) Get informed! Watch this video. Learn the real facts about cannabis and not just what you like to hear. Idiot
"Do you feel purposeful encouraging others to tune out and be stoned?" No. What a loaded question. You must be a big fan of Bill Oreilly(people like you usually are, and his fans are incredibly stupid). Unlike you I dont impose my beliefs on others. I do support cannabis legalization. Look at the facts: The drug war is a failure, cannabis is harmless and very useful. I am not going to give you the list of reasons why marijuana should be legal, look it up yourself and stop being ignorant.
@docrw You can't be that stupid, can you? I hate people like you. You have an uninformed opinion based on fallacies and bull shit. I am willing to bet you don't believe in evolution or global warming either? You just form an opinion in your head based on opinion totally devoid of facts and then proudly display your ignorance. In the meanwhile, millions of people are arrested, have their financial aid destroyed, lose their drivers license (not even being near, let alone in a car). You are stupid.
Thanks for posting this, it's time more well known figures like Rick Steves and Montel Williams come out and speak, and continue to speak until the laws are changed.
This is an excellent video. For all of you who have watched it, be sure to catch part 2 and part 3, they are equally informative and eye opening. Thank you for posting this great video.
Hemp is a pivotal issue. It keeps the prisons full while permitting the oil cartel to produce the stuff hemp could make cheaper, safer, easier and faster.
Rick Steves usually sees medical marijuana as a distracting issue.. it's interesting that the program starts off with a story on med. marijuana rather than going right to personal use.
Tis needs to be a special on nationwide television and open peoples eyes to the crap the Government has fed us. I wholly support legalization. The time has come to end this prohibition and put sensible responsible laws in place.
Excellent show! The truth is out and still we are fighting for our right to natural medicines. Cannabis has been documented as medicine for over four thousand years and proven safe. It's time for American citizens to be left alone - all I ask is for common sense.
There is something seriously lacking in this. There are no credible experts. I would have expected more from the ACLU. Its not pot heads you need to convince, its those who are blinded ignorance. So in order to to get through to them, you need to stop treating them as if they are ignorant. I think tring to get them to want more info is the way to go. Get them on our side or atleast thinking about our side.
Jack A. Cole, M.P.P. is Executive Director of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. He retired as a Detective Lieutenant after a 26-year career with the New Jersey State Police.
John P. Morgan, M.D. was considered one of the top pharmacologists in the nation. He was Professor Emeritus of Pharmacology at the City University of New York Medical School.
Judge David A. Nichols was a Washington State Superior Court Judge for 20 years.
Unfortunately, cops and judges are not experts on drugs, their professional role is to arrest and prosecute people. Some (most?) of them see the futility of imprisoning people for victimless crimes, and are taking a stand. They enforce the laws, they do not make them.
Even with experts like John P. Morgan and Dr Lester Grinspoon on the pro-legalization side, the US Federal government continues to persecute and prosecute.

This is what we need, to fix the misconceptions, falsehoods, and stigmas which the horrible misinformation propaganda campaigns of the past have forced onto us all.
America needs a good dose of common sense and logic, when it comes to their laws and policies.
This seems to focus mainly on Medical Marijuana. And that is an issue which really needs to be corrected... But at the same time, I wish they wouldn't ignore recreational use... Marijuana is safer than alcohol, so in a free country, how can we criminally outlaw people from using that which is safer than already legal drugs?
I think the concepts of freedom, demand that Marijuana be legal, for responsible citizens to choose if they want to use it, without fear of harm from the laws.
i agree. but some people think that if we legalize marijuana then people will just go crazy and start smoking it everywhere and we will become overrun with jobless loser hippies living in our attics and basements eating all our food :O
but if u dont have a job then how would u pay for your munchies? legalization would make this world a better and safer place to live, i know of a friend with a grandpa thats almost 80 years old that is prescribed marijuana, but here in hawaii there are no dispensaries nor do doctors give marijuana to their patients, they just prescribe u for it and make it legal for u to have it, so his grandpa who isnt supposed to be driving is forced to go out and look for his medicine...does that sound safe?
of course thats not safe if he has no sources.. ugh why was i neg rated? are people taking that comment seriously? lol... anyway, they don't need a job for munchies they are eating yours :D and living in your attic right now... you'll never know that they are there >.>

Are you at all familiar with the appeal of forbidden fruit?
Tell a kid not to do something and you INCREASE the likelihood that they will do it.
By demonizing and making pot illegal, we probably draw more kids into using it than we otherwise would.
Also, if you want little kids to be able to get pot easily- keep it illegal.
Kids have a harder time getting alcohol than pot- because it is regulated.

The public is still ignorant about marijuana. Lots of people still think it's dangerous, causes cancer(though not conclusively proven), think it's addictive, etc. If they took the time to compare it to alcohol and cigarettes in regards to health risks, toxicity, strength of addiction, intoxicating effects, they would soon change their mind. I'm not for prohibition of alcohol/cigarettes, so I'm DEFINITELY not in support of cannabis prohibition.

It's time for conversation.And what is there to talk about?If I wanna smoke I'll smoke.And I don't need permission from any goverment or law inforcment for what I can or can't do with my body.
And one more thing.I think if you get arrested and jailed for marijuana you have the moral right to kill the one who locked you up and fucked up your life for something so moronic like smoking a plant.

All votes MUST be in by the 15th, let's show Obama that we're serious about wanting marijuana law reform!

Prohibition of Marijuana shows how the governament wants to control ourselves, and I really do not want anyone to control myself. If a marijuana join makes people happy,thats what accounts. The Governament never will stop people who likes to use the Power Plant ( famale) called Cannabis Sativa L. The Govenament wants you to drink and have a taboco cigarrete, but dont want you to have a join. Individual liberty Now ! I choose whats is ( or not) good to myself.

The film may be scripted, but facts are facts.
Those who just don't see the hypocrisy of a war on nature perpetuate our self-destruction by allowing culture to further dis-empower and imprison us. Docrw and the majority of society are PROGRAMMED to embrace our cultural prejudices- alcohol, caffeine, prescription meds, fast food -all which LEGALLY KILL MILLIONS (psst-and they even get away with ADVERTISING FOR IT). Culture creates illusions while the psychedelics dissolve them.
This is ALL fact.

Oh yeah, if it was legal we would look like a weak nation(not). Its going to take along time to get rid of the capitalist, money grubbing, nosey, exploider, propaganda spewing, military abusing, witchhunting, diplomatic and brute force exercising its own agenda image this country has earned itself in the world. Legalization of cannabis is not going to do all that. Go read som actual history prick.

"Do you feel purposeful encouraging others to tune out and be stoned?" No. What a loaded question. You must be a big fan of Bill Oreilly(people like you usually are, and his fans are incredibly stupid). Unlike you I dont impose my beliefs on others. I do support cannabis legalization. Look at the facts: The drug war is a failure, cannabis is harmless and very useful. I am not going to give you the list of reasons why marijuana should be legal, look it up yourself and stop being ignorant.

There is something seriously lacking in this. There are no credible experts. I would have expected more from the ACLU. Its not pot heads you need to convince, its those who are blinded ignorance. So in order to to get through to them, you need to stop treating them as if they are ignorant. I think tring to get them to want more info is the way to go. Get them on our side or atleast thinking about our side.
pelt76 3 years ago
"No credible experts"?! I disagree.
Just three examples:
Jack A. Cole, M.P.P. is Executive Director of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. He retired as a Detective Lieutenant after a 26-year career with the New Jersey State Police.
John P. Morgan, M.D. was considered one of the top pharmacologists in the nation. He was Professor Emeritus of Pharmacology at the City University of New York Medical School.
Judge David A. Nichols was a Washington State Superior Court Judge for 20 years.
alapoet 3 years ago
These three videos cover many important issues.
Unfortunately, cops and judges are not experts on drugs, their professional role is to arrest and prosecute people. Some (most?) of them see the futility of imprisoning people for victimless crimes, and are taking a stand. They enforce the laws, they do not make them.
Even with experts like John P. Morgan and Dr Lester Grinspoon on the pro-legalization side, the US Federal government continues to persecute and prosecute.

This seems to focus mainly on Medical Marijuana. And that is an issue which really needs to be corrected... But at the same time, I wish they wouldn't ignore recreational use... Marijuana is safer than alcohol, so in a free country, how can we criminally outlaw people from using that which is safer than already legal drugs?
I think the concepts of freedom, demand that Marijuana be legal, for responsible citizens to choose if they want to use it, without fear of harm from the laws.
NikoKun 3 years ago 4
*oh, The other parts mention recreational use.
I'm also glad to see them mention hemp as well.
