  • alcohol and liquor are far worse then marijuana..and it kills you very bad for your health and it makes you even more stupid..how many drunk guys had done the most stupid shit ever like in club party and count the rapes....LEGALIZE MARIJUANA

  • @carameloxx marijuana makes you dumb, and it has killed people too.

  • @chadro85 why is it bad then?

  • @whitechocolate3333 it can be bad for people in many ways. health wise mentaly, and physically, financially, socialy, etc. i'll can start out by building on its effects on your mental health. for the most part it simply makes you dumb. now i'm sure you've heard the stereotypes of "pot-heads" being stupid (or maybe you haven't). but now there have been scentific studys showing it does actually make you lower your IQ.

    (sorry if i make spelling errors)

  • @chadro85 pss.hey thats all lies..many people who have good educational jobs smoke marijuana..even bush and obama use to smoke alot of weed back then..marijuana is medicine

  • @carameloxx marijuana is not medicine, just because you have a good job and or education doesn't mean marijuana helped them get there (infact its the other way around)

    and besides bush and obama have gotten on to the "top 5 worst presient ever" list (done by a poll on facebook)

  • LEGALIZE MARIJUANA!..copy n paste THUMBS UP!^

  • @carameloxx i'm thumbsing it down home slice. don't legalize marijuana!

  • @chadro85 why???...marijuana is medicine

  • @carameloxx hahaha...your kidding right? lol

  • @chadro85 hahaha...am i kidding?..no...legalizing marijuana will benefit the world in many many different ways..marijuana has no harm on nothing

  • @carameloxx ha "marijuana has no harm on nothing" hahahahaha thats funny. cause obviously it does. and benefiting marijuana is not going to benefit the wolrd.

    infact i'm curoius, what reasons do you have for the legalizing marijuana, that could even come close to benefiting the world?

  • @chadro85 so will you prefer alcohol and liquor something that makes people far more stupid and cannot even drive(i been driving for year while i stayed high and no accident ...how many fights had broken out in clubs due to those drunk people and also the rapes as well...marijuana and hemp are very good resource..if it were to be legal..whats the worst that could happen and not to forget that tabaco kills as well

  • @carameloxx well first off, i do strongly agree with you that alcohol and tabaco are not good things and have caused tons of problems

    but even with that being said i woundn't prefer alcohol and liquor over marijuana, or the other way around.

    because i simply think all three of them, alcohol, tabaco, and marijuana are bad. and shoulndn't be legal.

    i even have facts and research to prove my point.

  • @carameloxx and btw using marijuana and other drugs like it are just as dangerous as drinking and driving.

    and marijuana shouldn't be legalized.

  • @chadro85 MARIJUANA IS NOT A DRUG ITS A NATURAL PLANT GROWN FROM THE EARTH.IT CANNOT BE COMPARED WITH OTHER DRUGS NOR ALCOHOL AND LIQUOR..MARIJUANA DOSE NOT KILL ILEGALIZE THEM ALL THEN YOUL A HIGH CRIME RATE AND A MODERN AL CAPONE...PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE THEIR FREEDOM ON THESE 3 THINGS(ALCOHOL,LIQUOR,MARIJUAN­A) HAVE YOU EVEN TRIED MARIJUANA TO KNOW HOW IT FEELS AND TO SEE IF ALL THOSE RESEARCHES ARE TRUE..THEIR ALL MYTHS

  • @carameloxx 1st marijuana is to a drug. just because its a plant doesn't mean its not a drug. for example tabaco is a plant, beer (accohol) is made from wheat that is a plant, shrooms are a plant and they are drugs.

    2nd i have not smoked weed but my friends have in their past and i've seen how its F*cked up their lives over and over again.

    this is another reason why marijuana should not be legal!

  • @chadro85 i think people should smoke what they want to help improve their lives..did you see that video iv sent you...our government had banned marijuana due to that the are making so much money by selling us those lab made drubs and pills..i prefer thew natural stuff that work 100x better then that expensive bullshit...obama n bush n his father and other smoke weed and all 3 of them are free mason as well...are their lives fucked up..is my life fucked up?...no...

  • @carameloxx 1st i wouldn't use obama or bush for examples on your point if i were you because they just got up in the "Top 5 worst presidents ever list" (from a poll on facebook) so yeah there lifes are F*** up

    2nd. marijuana isn't going to improve your life. it may make you high and feel good for an hour or so. but in the long run thats not going to improve your life.

    3rd it doesn't matter if its the real stuff or not. Marijuana is bad for you and other people too. it should not be legal.

  • PEOPLE,WHAT'S UP WITH YOU ?

  • its legal in canada

  • People want get their hands on it

  • It shouldn't matter. It's a plant. It's not bad

  • @nbgfowtmwmh yeah it is

  • furreal giveing ron paul a bad name ya ass hes not going to legalize coke thatd never pass ledgislation

  • 'Dat tanline.

  • Hahaha, I bet they all smoke weed, which is awesome. Legalize!

  • the subtitles suck

  • Jayar should be on soo much more.

  • Vote Ron Paul People!!!!!!!!!! he says he will legalize weed and possibly coke youtube search Ron Paul Legalize Weed!!!!!!! Vote RON PAUL!

  • @LilGunzOfficialVids He never said he would legalize coke. Lol

  • @LilGunzOfficialVids did obama keep he's promises ?...... dont trust the system m8. they are the one who made it illegal because they could make more money out of oil.......

  • I have always said, legalize marijuana and then tax it. 

  • I have never smoked marijuana, I do not plan to. I do drink occasionally.Marijuana HAS molecular compounds that can help alleviate pain.Studies by Columbia University have proven that smoking marijuana once or twice a week is not a factor in lung cancer.It is safer than alcohol and tobacco. Decriminalize it,conduct studies and legalize it! Let pot smokers do what they want; it's not harming anyone!

  • It is an initiative in Michigan to get it on the November ballot.

  • Marijuana is the safest of all drugs. It is far safer to smoke a joint than to have a beer. Pot is the drug of choice for people who want to get high, but be responsible in getting high. There are people who do no drugs at all, and that's fine. But for those of you who want to get high and be responsible, Pot is a very good choice.

    There has never been a documented case of marijuana overdose

  • check out my new stoney channel :)

  • Then vote for Ron Pual.

  • this motherfucker lights up every single day i swear look at him hes high as fuck there...

  • i lmfao'd at the subtitles

  • doc.. u come over to my house and we'll get some real research done

  • ron paul 2012

  • @Mcgrever. You do realize that the cost would go down because it isnt a risk for those that grow it right? Also the cost would lower due to competition between companies selling weed. Sure it will be taxed, but even if it becomes too exprnsive you can grow your own with no threat of imprisonment. Its really quite simple, even for a degenerate.

  • i dont really want weed to legalize weed. its so easy to get for me... my friends have med cards so i just go with them if its legalized its gonna get taxed so its gonna cost more :(. DONT LEGALIZE PLSSSSSSSS

  • @mcgrever9123 You and your friends should be the exact reason it should be legalized..

    there should be no reason that anyone can legally grow and sell cannabis at ridiculous black market prices.

  • @GetAFuckinClue blackmarket prices? no i meant with med cards my friends have them. at the clubs = cheap prices and a lot of quantity

  • @GetAFuckinClue no if it was legalized kids would want stronger drugs. THEN SHIT WOULD GO DOWN!!

  • subtitles, totally wrong

    

  • jesus nice lips too.

  • Is it just me or does she look hotter than EVER here.

  • RASTA MON

    

  • god this is even worse than getting rick rolld

    i was waiting for a nice video with a lot of description and just shown facts, and that shit is boring

  • Thankfully I live in The Netherlands where we allow certain drugs as we know they are not damaging you.

    Mind you! We ALLOW it. It is not legal. So if you do ever come to Amsterdam don't expect to be allowed to smoke pot just anywhere.

  • the sad thing is the government, certain companies, and special interest groups would rather weed be illegal. they will even brainwash people to believe it's a damaging drug. however, thanks to modern science, studies, activism, and the internet; awareness is being spread more than ever and time is the only factor getting in the way for legalization. there are too many benefits for marijuana to be illegal and far less consequences compared to alcohol, tobacco, or prescribed pills.

  • I wish Canada, would legalize Marijuana, that would be a dream come true!

  • @HolidayDrunkMonkey i heard that there should be a final decision on full blown legalization next year in canada in march (or is it may?) if it happens, i'm sure america will follow suit too. crossing my fingers.

  • The problem is people over use marijuana. I smoke it and love it. I can make and love it, but you have to take everything in moderation, if not you will become a pot head that can't motivate himself to take a shower much less find a job. Marijuana like anything else can be great if taken in moderation.

  • @critter505 for some people, it can motivate them to be more productive. there were times at my previous job where i felt like i preformed better high than sober. my last job was a customer service agent for sprint, and one of my problems that i had was dead air, in which there's a lot of time in calls where there is silence. weed made it easier for me to connect with the customer and be a little bit more talkative and social. i did space out a few times though lol

  • come to nepal to smoke free weed...:d

  • THC kill cancer cells niGguuha! 2:31 XD jk

  • She is right about alcohol being very destructive and the government can't make it illegal because people will still get their hands on it. They should legalize and tax marijuana. It is a valid argument to say that alcohol impairs your motor abilities far more so and it's still legal. Let's put an end to the bullshit, legalize pot, and create 100 million jobs. Wake up America!

  • @xchrisforbushx Very true. Another thing people don't realize is that weed is not even a drug by definition. In terms of pharmacology and federal law, a drug is a chemically produced substance for the treatment of disease or alteration of the human or animal body. Although it can and is used for treatment of many ailments, because it's not chemically altered or produced it's not a drug. speaking botanically it's more of an herb. These idiots are avoiding financial opportunity and they know it

  • You know things are in Dire Straits when the government won't even let you research the properties of a substance, and would rather have complete blind ignorance on its effects. What we have here is a classic political philosophy of passing down a stupid tradition without question.

  • Ana´s hair looks way better like this than it does now.

  • I SHOULD HAVE BEEN JAYAR FOR HALLOWEEN

  • You know what the unintended consequence of legal weed will be? Monsanto will genetically engineer it, their frankenweed will cross pollinate with everyones plants and forever destroy the genetics of the sacred herb. KEEP IT ILLEGAL. Its the lesser of 2 evils. I'm not joking!

  • weed > America and that is why it is illegal.

  • she has nice tits

  • @p8baller92 What did you expect man, shes Turkish....

  • if ron paul will run for president of US and he agrees that marijuana should be legalized then i ask to all the potheads and people that wants marijuana legalized in the US please vote for him.

  • @DamienPictures he is running for pres :). if i was of age id vote for him

  • @DamienPictures Sorry. I don't know about where you live, but I live in what is probably one of the most pot-enthusiastic parts of the country. And we tend to be pretty socialist. I don't think Ron Paul has much of a shot with leftists.

  • deaf people must be so confused with those misheard subtitles

  • Why argue against all the topics that don't matter and avoid the issue, which is that you just want it to be legally okay to get high. If you don't have a problem with that then why talk about anything else? How about studies showing that it's safe or dangerous or whatever?

  • @binary132 Marijuana should be legal just so people could get high recreationally. If people could get drunk for fun, why can't they get high for fun?

  • marijuana isnt even bad... no matter how muj you smoke iht.. u feel happpy and u lyk cant get addicted to it

  • Get the Obama Administration out of office. Ron Paul or Gary Johnson for President.

  • nice tits

  • @Ibrahim1109 and MissTemperence. After living with a room mate who is a devote follower of the rastafari religeon for nearly a year, I have learned that this argument could be solved by the two of you sitting down and having a spliff.

  • Great video.exelent hosts

  • federal government ISN'T about making sense.

    VOTE THEM OUT !.. VOTE for your rights & FREEDOMS.

    or SUFFER MORE OPPRESSION & JAIL.

    they OWN YOUR BODY >> dictators.

  • come on people STFU take your soma and get back to work. And if you dont like it you need Prozac.

  • Ditz.

  • There are medical benefits to Coke and heroin as well. Who knows? Mayby even shrooms or cid. As my science prof used to say "You never know if you dont do research."

  • @romperstompist Heroin is almost exactly the same as morphine. Well, it is 3 times stronger but it works on the same receptors and does no harm to your body. There is really no reason to have it being illegal. People should be able to decide for themselves what drugs they want to use. A wast majority of people that use illicit drugs wouldn't even touch heroin, even tho they don't give a fuck if drugs are illegal.

  • @fuunguus You dont make point! people and nation would be gone in a 1 year if that happen...only marijuana can be legal its a 100% safe and 100% natural !and peoples would grove weed home...not buying it from dealer for

    1g=10€ O.o

  • @AmIinHeaVenH Why? This misconception that people can't think for them selves and that the governments job is to nanny us is totally insane. People know what heroin does and they wouldn't start using it just because it was legal. Would you? The prohibition only causes more harm, heroin users buying drugs of varying quality from unknown sources which is the main cause of virtually all overdoses. Legalizing and distributing it legally would reduce almost all harm associated with heroin abuse.

  • @fuunguus That is completly false. People get addicted to pills far less powerful than heroine, and all it takes is devising an easy plan to fool the pharmacist to keep giving you or your friend whom you sent in more.

    Forget that, people can go to walmart and without a prescription buy drugs that can be addictive and they can easily overdose!! The unknown sources isn't the problem! And say they do regulate it, if the addict cant get enough he'll go back to the dealer(unknown source)!!

  • In the US, doctors can not legally prescribe Marijuana. They can recommend it to their patients though.

  • Always remember to bring an extra towel... to wipe away the tears of frustration.

  • I've done studies, and I can vouch that it's legit

  • As long as Big Pharma keeps make more expensive, less effective drugs, Pot will never be federally legal.

    Who gives a fuck if it's the number one cash crop in the US and possible the number one money maker in the US, we can't have Companies losing money.

    If a Company ever loses money, what would we do?! I fear for these multi-billion dollar companies and sacrifices they'd have to make if pot were made legal.

    THINK ABOUT THE MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES! THEY NEED OUR HELP!

    [/sarcasm]

  • You idiots teens can get weed easier than they can get alcohol. If you legalize it and regulate it under the same laws as alcohol you would actually make it harder for them to get it. But yes they will still find a way to get it just like they do with cigeretts and alcohol. Not only that look at how many people including teens have died from weed 0. Also Miss Temperence your question who said alcohol was ok. Well that would be the US government also those college students graduate with a degree

  • @justinjgrover That wasn't my question Hon, that was a question someone else asked me, which I quoted before answering. With what is essentially the same answer you gave.

  • @justinjgrover Haha I dont know about that, all it takes is sneaking into the wine cellar or cabinet that their parents stashed it in and putting it back before they notice!

  • All they can do is "RECCOMEND" not prescribe

  • HELLO probably do more harm. what harm does marijuana do to your body? it binds to a cannabinoid receptor in your brain. The problem with marijuana is in essence the problem with the world. All of the truth is hidden and everyone is ignorant.

  • We dont even need to cunduct studies!! all the studies were cunducted years ago! they simply need to release the publications which were never allowed to be released. this is sad that dr. have to wonder about prescribing an illegal drug to patients.. after all Heroin is illegal, and oxycontin, or hydromorphone is legal and much more potent than Heroin. there is hard evidence about marijuana, especially from canadian researchers who have found cannibis to actually reverse cancer cell production.

  • The last time the government legislated morality was 90 years ago with prohibition, and it spent so much money banning alcohol and cracking down on bootleggers and speakeasies it nearly went bankrupt...Today very little has changed.

  • first!

  • Just legalize all drugs and regulate them all, but no. Politicians get too much money from private prison lobbyists.

  • Marijuana is illegal, because the pharmaceutical companines stand to lose money when people grow their own pain killers versus buying their pain killers.

  • Ana has come a long way...

    watch?v=nMaCPOrJDAU

  • everyone knows that it's no worse then tobacco and alcohol soo everyone needs to stfu <.<

  • this woman is fuckin sexy

    

  • What a waste of good weed.

  • Comment removed

  • I want to get my hands on you Ana Kasparian!

  • @gandillion Hubba Hubba!!!

  • Smoking marijuana, like smoking cigarettes, has been shown to cause cancer and thus the best way to get the benefits of marijuana is to eat it like you would any other herb.

  • @Plato86 The number of deaths from marijuana use is 0. It can lead to depression if you always use it but it has never been proven to be lethal . Pot is God's gift to humanity.

  • There are plenty of studies that prove that smoking marijuana is linked to lung cancer, just type in marijuana and cancer and you will see them. The best way to consume marijuana is by eating it. There are hundreds of marijuana food products out there from the iconic brownies to marijuana pops.

  • @KlipKultur5 Any type of burning organic matter has carcinogens. You inhale carcinogens when you stand next to a camp fire, you consume them when you eat a charred steak. You are undoubtedly breathing in carcinogns when you smoke weed. It stands to reason that this could potentially lead to cancer.

  • There have been studies that show the benefits of it. Alcohol has no medical benefits, yet it's legal. This makes zero sense. They can even tax it.

  • Le-gal-ize it!

    And I will ad-ver-tize it.

  • LEGALIZE MARIJUANA already!!!!

  • Direct deaths per year in the US(roughly):

    Alcohol 75,000 (if included indirect deaths WOW)

    Tobacco: 400,000

    Pharmaceuticals: 150,000

    Fatalities from directly using cannabis?

    what for it...

    what for it...

    0! look it up for yourself

  • @CareToLaxBrah What about lung cancer?

  • @TheFunkadelicFan University of California Los Angles, has done studies that conclude Cannabis does not increase your chances of lung cancer

  • @CareToLaxBrah Unless you smoke it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you burn cannabis, does it not produce carbon monoxide?

  • @TheFunkadelicFan offcourse, but marihuana doesnt have ANY chemical substances like 'tar' in tabaco. and other stuff i cant remember, cuz im kinda high right now :-)

  • @cwongchung That's not true, marijuana smoke has both tar and carbon monoxide in it.

  • @cwongchung Don't get me wrong, I'm a smoker, and I know there are lots of exotic carcenogens in tabacco smoke, but by far the most dangerous are CO and various free-radicals, because of their quantity.

  • using health to justify making a drug legal is a bad argument. its about money. it would be a waste of money to go guy weed from a stor when i could just get it cheap from a dealer. if the governemnt cant tax it or benefit from it its gonig to remain illegal. its doesnt matter how healthy it is.

  • Let me put this simply.

    If one drinks too much (and its fairly easy to do) then one can die from alcohol poisoning.

    If one smokes too much one falls asleep or is very relaxed for a few hours.

    Dont make me break out how many alcohol related deaths occur every year.

  • @DeepSouth16 and another complete idiot. why dont you do the world a favor and go drink yourself to death. sure as hell couldn't smoke yourself to death.

  • @bgrim2008 your a complete idiot.

  • Marijuana now, then they can work on LSD and psilocybin.

  • These reporters dont know shit, they are a joke to refer to themselves as reporters. THat being said, the argument being used is also invalid. The true argument to legalize it is to end a pot war weve been fighting for 50 years, innocent villages in mexico can stop getting slaughtered, Arizona can get its "kidnappings per day" average below 1, and we can bring a shitload of money into this struggling economy.

  • @20thcentfox He's taken the side effects of alcohol and replaced the word "alcohol" with "marijuana". He's making a point.

  • I don't believe this because researchers can test on cocaine, heroine which has lead to codeine and morphine. I think there is some kind of corporate lobbying to get marijuana legalized so it can get profited on.

  • @AndrzejWLipski you cant test on heroine or cocaine, codeine and morphine , come from opium.

  • Horrible effects of Marijuana: Slurred speech, impaired motor skills/functions, vomiting, extreme dehydration (hangover), blackouts, heightened aggression, liver failure/disease, cardiovascular disease, malabsorption, possible death if too much is consumed, withdrawal can cause death.

  • @bgrim2008 LMFAO wow, that's the most bs i've ever seen in a paragraph.

  • @bgrim2008 bad troll is bad

  • @bgrim2008

    Uh not true at all...

  • @bgrim2008

    You're a perfect example of a brainwashed individual.

  • side note: morphine = heroine. it's the same thing, they just call it morphine if it's used by a doctor. : /

  • I clicked this video JUST to hear marijuana activists BS all over the comment box.

  • why we don't legalize pot: because of a private prison industry that funds corrupt politicians that create harsh laws to incarcerate more people for these prison businesses' profits to soar

    anyway, check out my twitter please, im a political junkie so i hope its funny: twitter.com/#!/sexandpolitix

  • The amount of benefits that come from both marijuanna and hemp is huge so, of course, lets keep it illegal. Marijuanna has this conotation attached to it- pot smoking hippy, as alcohol, which is very addictive (you can die from alcohol withdrawls, the kick from booze is worse than heroin) and very harmful. But people drink their fucking cocktails and all is right as rain. Hemp alone can be made into paper, clothing, soaps, etc. Marijuanna has so many medicinal traits but, of course, illegal.

  • i bet if you made marijuana legal and regulated it, it might just lead to the start up of a few businesses and maybe even a few jobs. Look at the entire alcohol industry, if marijuana was legal I have a feeling given a little time it would easily rival the alcohol industry.. but of course job creation isn't a thing that politicians really care about. Though if there was some way that marijuana could lower taxes on the super rich .. i bet it would be made legal very quickly! politicians suck...

  • There is only one reason marijuana is illegal. It is not profitable for the drug companies. If people could grow there own pain killing none habit forming medicine in their backyards why would the ever by Oxycotin or hell even Tylenol? The simple answer is they wouldn't. Of course at one time there was a ton of products sold in this country that had marijuana as a main ingredient. That's a different subject all together though.

  • hey, listen, people?

    I'm from Holland, and if there's one thing Americans tend to know about my country is that we sort of legalised marijuana. I mean, you've all seen Pulp Fiction I'm sure, that's pretty much our soft drug policy in a nutshell.

    But uhm, yeah, what I was going to say

    we're fine, people. We're alright. Our average drug intake is no higher than any other country in Europe, arguably even a little lower.

    So Barack, if you're reading this, or Arnold, I don't know.. well..
