  • Thanx, Irv-Possibly the GREATEST LIVING CANNABIS ADVOCATE we have.

    I love that he lives in Flori-DUH...WE need him and others to understand the blatant, Civil Rights violations that occue daily. CANNABIS IS MEDICINE. THE END-GET OVER YOURSELF AMERICA!~

  • Cannabis is the greatest holistic medicine on earth, even more safe than lots of the processed food that people consume. The plant is just to good for this corrupted world, everything that is really good for the general public gets demonized and banned.

  • Wait, why did he never get high? That part doesn't make sense to me...

  • 9 dislikes? really

  • @airstrx 9 people were too high to realise what they clicked ;)

  • Respond to this video...  illegally high at that

  • @arahirst yes veryy idont get it

  • Do sunspots affect solar electric systems?

  • The dislikes were probably mistakes made after taking a few puffs and then hitting the thumbs down instead. Then they went ''Oh shit I hit the wrong icon, dude 

  • why would anyone dislike this? I honestly don't see how anyone could dislike this if they watched the whole video.

  • @Jcassin6 hahaahahaha

  • some see this man as a criminal....I see him as a hero! STONER FOR LIFE! free the leaf

  • Thank you

  • these are good points? but does anyone feel like maybe a whole lot of people would be getting their "prescription" for crappy reasons like aches and pains and there wouldn't be a way to know who's lying?

  • @thatkidvitya who cares?

  • @thatkidvitya

    I'm sure most doctors would be trained psychologically for that, I don't know for sure though.

  • Yes a wonderful harmless plant and after 40 years of smoking it I look forward to each new day with a body full of life and joy, enjoy

  • THC is a drug. Marijuana is a plant.

  • THC...is more health than alcohol,tabacco,so many people die every day in car crash,marihuana helps me in my apetite and depression .So I hope some day ligalize it I just hope....my doctor RX XANAX for me and I prefer THC cause XANAX is more dangerous....every 45 sec. is I user or THC busted and they ask Why we are paranoid?CAUSE COPS JOMPING AROUND

  • This man and others like him prove that what the govt says about cannabis is untrue.

  • if you can talk to one of those guys for me i would love to grow federal marijuana.........:-) seriously dude! please!

  • my dream in life is to grow beautiful marijuana

  • what is going on

    Oct 15 2010, 1:43 am

    in all my life i never heard of anyone overdosing on pot or even getting shot for pot or running over little kids on pot....... a few times going to jailo for pot but or someone stole some pot but not dead via pot you know..... then i thought about it

  • man and a frequently in the past and present the u.s. government has been shooting people to death in a field or farm or small business. has anyone EVER orverdosed? shoot they shot a couple people this year. i have to say this dont point guns

  • at cops,dont. but it rips my heart out to think a gardener would defend his garden or business with firearms rather than go to prison. and then get shot to death. how many more casualties of CIVIL WAR?

  • YEAH, Irv! But there are only 4 IND patients. 1)Irv Rosenfeld, Fla 2) George McMahon, Ia 3) Barbara Douglas, Ia and 4) Elvy Mussikka, residence unknown to me. But I have met and am friends with George McMahon and his wife, and I have met Barbara Douglas. These Iowans have been getting Federally grown and Approved Marijuana for over 20 years. Did you know that Federal Marijuana comes in joints only? That by Federal Law you must smoke it in joint form only, and no medical records are kept, why ?

  • i wish everyone. and then i mean EVERYONE could se this video. and understand. and maybe begin stop livin in a lie...

  • well he is talking about people who are sick that smoke weed, but what about the people that smoke weed just to get high?!?

  • @colombian92317

    Why do you care. Its not hurting anybody?

  • I praise Irv Rosenfeld for living by his conviction , Those who are battling cancer and other terminal illness should not be labeled as crimals. Gen.1:29 'God Said, Behold I have given you EVERY HERB bearing seed which is upon the face of the earth & every tree that in which is the fruit of a tree yeilding seed, to you it shall be for meat. what about our declaration of Indepence. that we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty , happiness.

  • Why is Marijuana not legal. My mom has Luekmia and I want to SAVE HER LIFE. I have sent this to ALL OF MY Senators and even PBO. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE start posting this on your facebook, twitter or what ever.

  • they do know...your politicians are cowards.

  • This is a very powerful video. Thank you for posting it.

  • This is a very powerful video. I am so grateful someone posted this. Thank you very much.

  • GOD BLESS YOU!

  • Psssss!! (whisper) Hey Mr. Rosenfelt, pass the joint this way!

  • Damn 11 ounces every 25 days , now thats a pot head!

  • Dang FEDS want to regulate EVERYTHING.Thats just sad.

  • wonder whats sooo negative about Cannabis

  • wonderful living testimony

  • dang 10 Years

  • what a pimp, lol

  • bring your ass to georgia and talk some sense into these ignorants over here

  • georgias a bunch of ignorant dicks who dont want it here because that means they are informed and they can have that,the highest rate of suicide in the usa is due to chronic pain being untreated and all it would take to save a life is a joint. Vote In Medical Marijuana

  • HI I been HIV for 25 years and I thought Pain doctors were nuts! I don't use morphine for my chronic pain and am saving tax payers a lot money. I am very healthy and don't get high!

    Thanks for sharing!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • if you are in a state that needs a doctors order than it has to be presecribed but in states like cali all you need is the card

  • EVERYONE GET THE GRANNY!!!

  • I would be saving up, and give it away in my will to my kids.

  • it is truly in the governments best interest to just accept that marijuana is a wonderful medicine. Soon, everyone will discover that the government has been trying to fool its people, and then they will wonder what else the government has been lieing to them about. Sometimes its just best to cut your loses and tell the truth

  • Wow! What a guy! Fantastic story.

    He recently smoked his 115,000 medical marijuana joint.  True champ that guy is.

  • Lol Nov 20 is my birthday. HowellAtTheMoon15, I'm an advocate for full legalization for all 21+. Same rules apply as alcohol, just drink at home and fall asleep and wake up (with bud, there's no hangover).

  • Hey man, the whole 21+ age is not exactly right, I dont think we will ever have an "age" limit, the reason I think that is because recently there have been parents who have given their adhd children special brownies and somehow shows improvement in their attention span. Im not exactly for children using pot, but its medicinal value is high, and if we put a age limit, we would be depriving certain age groups and labeling them - Criminal. Too many people in this country smoke too much and abuse it

  • For recreational use, 21+ would be fine. You make some good points, which is great, but when I was saying 21+ I was referring strictly to the recreational use. Hell, 18+ is for cigarettes, might as well make that the age for marijuana too, if the government wants to still be anal about it.

    Medicinal use should not be limited to age, though. Legalize for all 18 or

    21+ forever and put an end to government oppression... I support those ideals.

  • Lol, dont get me wrong, im not gettin all worked up because you want it 21+ acually I think that is better than just having it at 18 because in all reality 18 year olds are not very resonsible and I know people who are that age and abuse it. But that again infringes upon citizens rights. We just need to push our leaders harder and make them understand that this is the PEOPLES choice, their desision. BTW you have some very good ideals wish the government would listen to u lol..but..yeah..peaceout

  • Aye.

  • Search "Rick Simpson"

  • hes beast

  • You people are so stupid. He is an advocate for MEDICAL Cannabis. He even said in the video he is against people smoking weed to get high. 0:48.

  • Comment removed

  • Catch up with the times gov its time to make it legal so I'm not a criminal and have to smoke crappy weed anymore. look at the prisons 50% are their from smokin a joint, we could tax it and pay off lots more debt.

  • wow wow wow wow wow smart smart smart smart

  • 60gr. of THC (cannabiol) can cure CANCER in 30-90 days! Believe it or die! The human cell has a specific receptor for THC! It is "THE" human medicine!

  • It relieves nausea for cancer patients going through chemotherapy, but does not cure cancer.

  • @HowellAtTheMoon15 Uh, I'd advise you to check NORML's website... There have already been 3 studies done that proves THC kills cancer cells.

    But yes, it also helps chemo patients.

  • @HowellAtTheMoon15 ok maybe it doesn't

    "Cure" cancer but it does help it and how would you know? unless you have researched medically ... like this guy said the government doesn't want to know. So they don't have scientists research it. Of course there is some people who have done medical studies but the government could go more in depth and have a lot more scientists research and study.

  • @uchiha88itachi It does in fact kill cancer cells. The tests have been done. The shafer commission did a study in 1972 and they found that it killed cancer cells on contact, but they didn't make a big deal about that because they were doing research mainly about recreational use. That just happened to be a byproduct of the study. Nixon commissioned the study and when the recommendation was to decriminalize Marijuana Nixon went against his own apppointed doctors and scientists. Truth is here

  • DAAAAAAAAMMMMMNN!!.... This man has now smoked over 115,000 federally legal joints. & is still, to this day, perfectly healthy (except for the disease, obviously.) What a champ. Thank god for his lack of selfishness & courage to stand up for what's right. Rosenfeld.. You're my hero.

  • im speechless, really.

    never heard of this guy, amazing history

  • Legalize, Regulate, Educate, Medicate - Cannabis = Freedom.

  • If I smoked that much I would be retarded. I guess everyone is different. to him its a medicine, to me it makes me lazy and forgetful

  • intelligence + weed + money = win

  • @moondy11 exactly decriminalizing weed could possibly bring the US out of the rescission

  • Best Vid i seen on here so far .

    THIS SHIT HAS TO STOP!

    LEGALIZE IT!! NOW!!

    WE SHOULD PUT THIS GUY IN OFFICE .

    HE CAN DO SOME GOOD 4 A CHANGE!!

    Take the laws out of the hands of the SHEEP!!

    " LETS VOTE 4 ( ROSENFELD ) LETS VOTE 4 "

  • my fkn hero

  • this guy needs to be on the national news every day

  • Why are some people going to jail and others becoming president. Stop the war against marijuana!! Our government has lied to us about marijuana, what else have they lied to us about.

  • So true, only reason it is "Illegal" is because people didn't want to go war because if you smoke marijuana you don't have anyone, there is only love and peace, thats why the president did everything to make it illegal so people would go to war. What he did was he gave an ape 30 Marijuana cigaretts a day for atleast 1 year. And ofc the ape got fucked up, its a ape doh and no human being would smoke 30 a day for a year. And its true noone has died and you don't get addicted or cancer.

  • This guys a boss

  • Isn't this man suppose to be a raging lunatic?! What the hell?!

    Go Team America... legalize, regulate, and control marijuana!

  • The system is a corporation with 1 goal. Make money. There is a LOT of money involved in keeping the sick in prison. There is a bond that is created when someone gets arrested or a ticket. That is a securities interest that can be bought and sold on the open security market.

  • damn hes an awesome debater! he should go state to state!!

  • I like this guy!

  • Michigan is a mess,,,they have Medical MJ now and all their patients are bitching about paying like $200 per oz. to their CG. What dolts. Go to Cali and try to get it that cheap! Nothing like cheap and stupid people to ensure the black market keeps a-runnin! Im sure their old big Pharma meds cost them a pretty penny but a CG should make nothing, sounds fair to me!

  • This guy IRV, is the chosen one!

  • Great advocating speech for medical cannabis.

  • I, 100%, am for Legalization of Marijuana. People say it's a "DRUG". Marijuana isn't a "DRUG". It is a medicinal herb. If it was a drug it would KILL you if overdosed on. It's IMPOSSIBLE to die from a large amount of marijuana. There is NO way you can die from it. Animals may die from a large dose but you know what? They are ANIMALS. Humans can eat chocolate but dogs can't. It's kind of like that. Most Drugs are man made or can kill you if overdosed.

  • ur right, its not a drug, its a plant, an herb, and we cannot overdose on it.

    on the other hand, you're an idiot. we (humans) are also animals. if ur going to support marijuana, dont be ignorant. thats why pro-weed organizations provide educational information on grass.

    btw, it's only the ppl who haven't tried it who dislike it.

    AMERICANNABIS!

  • @Zanitari I'm 100 percent for legalization as well but this comment is just ignorant... saying marijuana isn't a drug lol. go look up the definition of the word drug. this definition is used in the context of medicine/pharmacology "any synthetic, semisynthetic, or natural chemical substance used in the treatment, prevention, or diagnosis of disease, or for other medical reasons" a drug is ANY mind altering substance! caffeine is a DRUG! TYLENOL IS A DRUG!!

  • Right now, stop and go track down your state local and federal legislators, write an email, letter or call them, tell them to end this failed policy of arresting adult cannabis users WEnd Prohibition!

    We cant go through another 70 years of Prohibition, It comes down to this, we have been discriminated against for years, its getting worse and the public knows it. We have the support but we need every singe person that has any stake in this issue to make a stand and get active!

  • AND

    All they do is lie to us and for decade after decade we have put up with it, gone along and just sat back and delt with it.

    NOT ANYMORE, everyone that posts has to take their time to write an email letter or make a call, we have time to post on blogs and rant in forums well take that time and energy, passion and drive to make a diffrence, make some changes, and End Prohibition.

  • Can we just make it legal so we can grow it under the sun's limitless energy supply?

  • Only in certain parts of the world will it naturally grow =/

    Other places the government will grow it, get pissed off that they lost the weed fight, and tax the shit outta you for it

  • it grows pretty much everywhere you plant it, if theres alot of sun.

  • awesome video, I have seen this guy in many doc's on pot,he is the one of the guys that is proof that marijuana has medicinal value.

  • yeah, could you imagine smoking a half ounce a day of schwag!?!?! ugh!

  • oh 1 more thing..the weed grown at old miss. facility is SCHWAG! no wonder dude doesnt get high..go find that silver haze and og kush..thats the real medicine!!!

  • even with that tax rate weed would cost so much less than it does now..i mean a oz. of regs would prolly be the same but really good weed the price would definately drop incredibly

  • @mikeroch:even with the feds taxing weed throug the roof it wont be more then it already is..u obviously havent burned n awhile so let me update u..weed has gotten much stronger since da 70s so more $..shit $20 gets u a gram of some flame or 4g of regs..a oz of regs is 90-120$ and oz.of good potent bud is 350-500$ take into consideration the grower, labor fees and location being shipped from plus different strains theres over 100 u no..the feds would only put bout a 70-100$tax per oz.

  • its sad that the goverment has to oppress those who need it medical purpose do they need to be in pain themdelves to get the point. give us poison pills methdone, but that alone with a prescription you can have , but no weed ,it is all a joke, suppression of goverment.

  • Even though i smoke weed, I have to say that I would not want weed to be legal. Sure it would be easier to get a hold of but the government would without a doubt put a pretty hefty tax on it, just like they did in the late 30s... Instead Id rather have it decriminalized... However I doubt that the governments going to do either anytime soon. Theyre so fucked up in the heads that theyre still arresting medical marijuana patients. How in your right mind can you arrest a patient for using medicine?

  • If marijuana is legalized the tobacco and alcohol industries will be dealt a huge blow. Irv Rosenfeld

    needs to get on the main stream media.

  • If marijuana is legalized all drug dealers will go out of business. You know they won't want that to happen.

  • Not true. There are still alcohol bootleggers. Because they can still make money by selling there stuff for a cheaper price than the rest of the market.

  • No, theyll all switch to cocaine and heroin. Either that or get lives. Theres nothing at all wrong with weed, its just the fact the government doesn't want something they know works better than a lot of drugs they make on the market. They wont accept the fact that some of the best scientests in the world have been beaten by a plant.

  • CANCER CURE = HEMP OIL

    May I suggest you look at the information located below my profile picture:

    Spain ... Dr. Guzman

    Israel ... Dr. Mechoulam

    Italy ... Dr. Di Marzo

    Websites: SETHGROUP & PUBMED (enter words "Cannabis Cancer") currently there are 266 published articles

  • Marijuana will be illegal on a Federal level for awhile the feds make to much money off it and Marijuana sales will go down that means less money for them

  • thanks god, for Irv Rosenfeld

  • woooow, marijuana sure has fried this guy's brain. he's stoned out of his mind. pot has turned him into a ZooOOombie! and it's do the same to your kids!! who cares if it helps sick people and causes no harm to healthy people? let's keep it a schedule 1 controlled substance, meaning it has no proven medical value!

    what a backwards society we live in.

  • ya think? and oh yeah, pharm companies can peddle anything they want, even though we know that their drugs are what kids are getting into trouble with these days. Is anyone trying to make Oxycodone illegal? heck no ~ LOBBYISTS

    Marijuana has no big lobbyists, only the voices of the people. please speak out and out and out!!!

  • This guy is amazing!!!! Im so with him but i also believe it should be legalized for recreational use which i think will happen

  • I think that there is more to it than the government not wanting to know the fact that marjuana is harmless. They already know that it's harmless but they want to keep lieing to people about it.

  • dude says he goes through 11 ounces every 25 days, holy shit i thought i smoked. jump to minute 6.

  • L E G A L I Z E

  • You go dude....hell yea.

  • That was awesome man!!! I hope you stay strong. You are a real warrior. Screw the Anti-Pot cops and federal agents. They are only in it for a paycheck... Hell Yeah...

  • lets lock up the sick and dieing wow ..

    its pretty sad that something as harmless as maryjane is still not available to ppl who could benefit from it.

  • i smoke weed to help with depression and enxity but i dont have medicalmarjuina and i live in fl i hope obama legalize's it for medical reasons

  • What do you use for your english? If you learned how to read and write maybe you would not be so depresed!

  • you mean "depressed"

  • Right I should learn to write also

  • And English with a capitol E.

  • yES

  • YYYYEAAAAAHHHHH! seriously though, he is absolutely right. why let people suffer when we have a solution so natural?!

  • awesome speech. awesome man. much respect and best of luck for himself.

  • Ya did he say tobaccO+poit users have less cancer than one using just either i like that supports a gut instinct i had on that!

  • yeah seriously ive had asthma my whole life and the times when i have had the clearest lungs and can breathe most normal have been when i could smoke my fill of bud its really a cure all dont listen to anyone when they say otherwise they either serve greedy ulterior motives or are extremely poorly informed, please do the research, 1 love!!

  • Irv's a cool dude

  • great speach! i find it weird though that he says that cannabis does not increase the risk of lung cancer but in facts makes lung cancer less likely if tobacco is used. Can someone explain this`?

  • MJ is supposed to reduce the risk of cancer

  • marijuana clear the dead cells out of your lungs , pretty sure they found that out in a recent study

  • Man, what in the fuck are you even talking about?

  • you are telling us garbage. steroids are terrible .. itll unbalance your hormones so im sure youd or you husband would love to see you with a fatty 'stache or im sure if he used it it woud surely shrink his nuts .. but i guess eating potato chips and enjoying day time tv is an unhealthy sideeffects to some i suppose.

  • that dude can go any where in the Babylon n smoke herb? thats is crazy i gots too get with that.

  • hey man, you know many races follow the mystery babylon religion jesse jackson is one

    so until you get over your racists ignorance an fight the leader of those in the mysterys lucifer.....your only an assest to the nwo and satan

    God said we all have one father

  • It's called an LD-50 which means 50% of the test animals died from that amount. They estimate marijuana at 1:10000 or 1:20000. What this means is that you would have to smoke 1500 pounds of it to induce a lethal response. But there is a catch. You have to do it in 15 minutes or it won't induce a lethal response. No one will ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER (I'll say it once more) EEEVVVEEERRR die from this plant. Decriminalize!!!!!

  • hey its now legal in michigan!!!!!!

  • It used to get me high. Now it makes me hungry and sleepy. It never was the evil drug.

  • this guy needs to come to florida ..

  • he lives in florida

  • I am from Holland and smoking weed inspires me. I am a spiritual writer and play piano and guitar. It has helped me open my mind and find the mystery of the spiritual mind moving from my unconscious to the conscious. Its better than drinking and smoking fags.

  • hell yeah, just be careful with the word fags because in the united states that is a slur for a gay person.

  • at least its not crack!

  • I smoke weed cause i have add and i am bipolar and i dont trust pharm pills due to a friend i lost from suicide. I hope to see the day its legal. I would be so happy

  • My brother is bipolar and I feel it helps him I want him to speak to his therapist about it. He takes a lot of medicine and I feel all he needs is Marijuana.

  • hell yah rastafari michigan

  • 13 down 37 more to go...

  • Cannabis is Sacred.

    see my playlist(s) Our Sacred Earth-Cannabis

    thanks for the video :- )!

  • i smoke weed for 2 reasons

    1. to get over myself

    2. to get over depression

  • gj dude

  • Mcain/Palin have promised to toughen existing marijuana laws. Pocession of even small amounts would result in manditory prison sentences. A Mcain presidency could swell the existing prison population to over 5 million in the first four years!

  • That's just flat out wrong. McCain supports laws that would provide recovery support before imprisonment. Do some research.

  • why would you need recovery support when a legal, regulated market for adult consumption of cannabis would eliminate Gangs and Criminals from profiteering, when it would make it harder for kids to buy with age restrictions, and would allow for easy and widespread medical research without massive red tape. Because they profit from the status Quo, that's why

  • That would be far too logical and makes too much sense. Shame on you for making sense.

  • this is just one of many videos that not only explains itself but the governments mistake... mistakes can be fixed :) ... we will just take longer to fix this one but progress is evident... smoke weed everyday

    peace and pot :D :D :D

  • I was always under the impression that medicinal weed was monitored to have a smallish amount of THC content. Why else would this guy be needing that many joints a day to counter his effects?

    I guess I can't accurately put myself in his shoes, though.

  • Mcain/Palin have promised to toughen existing marijuana laws. Pocession of even small amounts would result in manditory prison sentences. A Mcain presidency could swell the existing prison population to over 5 million in the first four years!

  • A brilliant oration. The only reason the pharmaceutical application of marijuana is outlawed is as a political bargaining chip at the expense of those that need it. Tobacco? Legal. Medical benefits? Nil (negative, it's a poison). Alcohol? Legal. Medical benefits? Nil (negative). Morphine? Legal. Benefits? very debatable.

    Take so many legal prescriptions, the side-effects are frequently horrendous.

    Why is marijuana illegal? It's easy to grow, and so it's hard to tax.

  • Make history in Michigan!!!!
