Many Doctors Say It's 'High' Time To Legalize Marijuana (Season 1: Ep 3 on IFC)

[kryptonickraze]

hahaha they almost made as many puns about pot as the anchors on CNN the other day

[SoldierCyfix]

his puns were lame hers were not very coherent

[HEN000y]

The only negative thing proven about weed is that it increases that chances of people developing schizophrenia in people who are predisposed to it or have a family history of it.

[TheSrkkl]

@HEN000y That and it increases heart rate significantly which can have super negative effects on people with heart problems.

[Killicon93]

@HEN000y But there is a component in marijuana that negates the effects of schizophrenia. Alltough it's less prominent in the usual recreational marijuana.

[ChrisJefferiesMusic]

I dont see the joke...

[Shamus8b8]

@ChrisJefferiesMusic It's making fun of when news outlets would make puns as a tagline or a headline or whatever. I think there's more to the joke, maybe a jab at catering but I think it's just making fun of puns in newstories, and how they usually trivialize a perspective

[EmperorOfMars]

Oh dog my sides

[PCEggo]

You don't need drugs to deal with chronic pain. Search google or YouTube for lifewave frequency patches. No drugs, no side effects, and in most cases it can help ebb the pain better than any drug could.

[eastendthug360]

puntastic

[unicyclefinatic]

Why do people hate pot so much. People keep making assumptions when they have no knowledge of the plant. Alchohol does more damage to the world than almost anything. And what has weed done other than the activities the drug cartel have done.

[CommentorX]

@unicyclefinatic I hate pot because of all the stoners that come out of the woodwork citing their little factoids from the High Times every time somebody makes a parody video.

[unicyclefinatic]

@CommentorX Im not even a stoner and i support the legalization of marijuana. And i don't read High Times. I think your talking about the Nigger stoners. Their the obnoxious ones that only talk about getting stoned all the time. Most Stoners don't even care about anything and usually don't bother anybody.

[luke666808g]

@unicyclefinatic I agree, NIGGER stoners are such vile creatures.

[Shamus8b8]

@luke666808g what are nigger stoners? A new band?

[luke666808g]

@Shamus8b8 yeah they sound like Bad Brains.

[VelaToNorma7]

@unicyclefinatic Weed affects memory, impairs emotion, and also impinges the nervous system.

[unicyclefinatic]

@VelaToNorma7 I smoke every weekend and it has improved my memory and Made me a much nicer person, I no longer argue or become angry as much as i did before i started smoking. My grades in school have greatly increased, I have a 3.4 GPA where as before i had a 2.3. These effects seem like they have a positive effect more than a negative one.

[VelaToNorma7]

@unicyclefinatic That sounds like complete bullshit. 3.4 isn't even that good. I'm positive you made that shit up to try and disprove scientific evidence. Go play in traffic, loser.

[unicyclefinatic]

@VelaToNorma7 3.4 is good for me, And wow you most likely has never even smoked pot. You are just one of those people who believes all of the ant-marijuana websites and shit. Do you know the positive effects of Marijuana? Its non addictive, it helps with a lot of health patients who have severe pain. Help outs cancer patients. It does all kinds of good things and the only reason america wants it to be illegal is because they can't make money off of it.

[DarkEmoE]

@VelaToNorma7 scientific evidence is for weed dumbass.

[Z40oztoFreedomZ]

@4angele1 Wow your ignorant and by your grammar your probably eleven. Cannabis has many medicinal elements even as simple as stress relief, and letting businesses distribute it would allow for it to be taxed as well as making new jobs and taking it out of Drug cartels hands, also allowing people to grow marijuana will allow hemp manufacturing as a result we could produce many hemp products creating more jobs. Why would you say our debt is not payable?

[Letter10music]

@Z40oztoFreedomZ I totally agree with most of what you said but, if you're going to nitpick about someone's grammar you should know the difference between 'your' & 'you're.

Also, your run-on sentence slightly lost it's way toward the end.

Just sayin'. :)

[Letter10music]

@Letter10music 'you're' *

[Z40oztoFreedomZ]

@Letter10music :)

[Manadox97]

PUNS ARE LAZY WRITING DAMIT!

[4angele1]

All you fucking stupid idiots talking about "omg legalize weed and tax it I'm so fucking smart coz I'm the first to come up with this idea" lolno first of if you ever thought that your a dumb fuck mainstream hipster yuppie asshole, secondly the us debt can never be paid off

[WeAskThePeople]

IDIOT moron .. should be sick with CANCER ...

[qLILYp]

Reefer SADness

lol'd heartily

[p2eas3]

FUCK YOUR SHELTER

[mason1348]

Legalize marijuana and tax it . Anyone else got a better idea of how to decrease our debt and win the war on drugs at the same time?

[AntiRacismAndHateCom]

@mason1348 Charge a national sales tax to get those drug dealers, money launderers, etc to pay taxes. Also people who visit the U.S. would end up paying the sales tax as well. Also, stop spending money that we don't have.

[pervysage35]

i love puns they're like the magic of languages

[tony999hr]

guys face at the end :))))))

[idiotjay]

I think all those puns gave me cancer...

[wahhagoogoo]

Does real American News use this many puns?

[MisguidedStudios]

@wahhagoogoo Oh of course not.

Real American newscasters use about 400% more puns than this.

[scottg4520]

Worst pun ever Brooke , Wow, just wow.

[BGBailen]

In the words of the immortal Herschel Krustofski, "Puns are lazy writing".

[MsSunhappy]

i thought they give morphine for that?

[krazycore]

[korllark1]

Brook doesn't know how to use puns.

[alexmann25]

Brook is Hot.

[vihannes3]

I just love his look when Brooke asks the final question.

[vihannes3]

@vihannes3 And oh crap I just got the joke

[KKillaJ]

it needs to be legalized if the government wants to decrease gang violence legalize cannabis it will take a huge chunk of money out of there hands and put it into the governments canada and the US are already in debt so the results are nothing but good there are no health defects from cannabis use alone

[Rawbush]

Great skit lmao

[CristianApostol]

incredibly pun-tastic

[FrankieTheFailBoat]

0:12 he looks at his lines ha

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

@FrankieTheFailBoat

how the fuck did you catch that

[sonicprop97]

It would be awesome if this was a 1 hour show of just fake news

[otherlleft]

Um . . . parody please?

[burpeemetaldrumguy]

hahaha so many puns

[radonas]

I've got good and bad news Your stomach cancer is gone and the bad news is you now have lung cancer.

[RusNad]

@radonas actually you can't get cancer from marijuana...

[radonas]

@RusNad you don't just smoke marijuana there is tabbaco in there too otherwise you would trip like a crazy ass mofo

[Joeyg143]

@radonas Haha what the fuck are you talking about?

[LuniaVideo]

@radonas How many people do you know that got lung cancer from smoking pot?

[radonas]

@LuniaVideo i dont know who smokes a lot of pod they are keeping it a secret anyways

[Colonelmj]

BOOYAH!

[thejobloshow]

This is very... "groovy" news indeed...

[thejobloshow]

This is very... "groovy" news indeed...

[ThriceDog]

PUN OVERLOAD

[Austin101123]

Marijuana has even been proven to be safer than alcohol... And it usually causes good a lot of times too...

Furthermore, marijuana is a natural (used to be, not has been taken out) plant that grows in here. Native Americans grew it as crops. (It might be referred to as just tobacco, but there is also hemp and marijuana.)

While alcohol can't be grown, only processed...

VOTE HERE FOR LEGAL MARIJUANA (Of course it doesn't really count, but I'm a thumbs up whore) >:D

Thumbs up for vote

[Jealkeja]

reefer sadness, haahhaah

[Purdyc12393]

2:12 hahahaha



[Vire70]

So. many. puns. 

[dmuth]

@Vire70 These aren't your father's puns. They're TURBO PUNS!

[personwhotalks]

this video is so punny!

[vonsvin]

I really don't find this to be that amusing, don't get me wrong I like jokes about cancer, retards, mongoloids, homos, tragic deaths, war and so forth. my point is that this made me think more that it made me laugh. why shouldn't the terminally ill not be allowed to alliviate their pain? it's seems inhuman to me. give them cocaine, heroin whatever, they are going to die anyway so I really can't see the problem. in fact it's the only ethical thing to do. give them lsd and them die laughing.

[argh523]

@vonsvin It really isn't about giving them something to trip on the way out.

[vonsvin]

@argh523 No, but it might ease the pain a bit.

[Chiller326]

@vonsvin If it makes you think, it's done its job as satire.

[vonsvin]

@Chiller326 true true

[SinsHarvist]

Yayyyy puns....

Way to go Onion, you win again.

[godlessmessiah]

I'm finding it increasingly problematic as to how the onion is actually becoming more realistic as a source of news than actual news sources.

But lets face it, msnbc, cnn and fox are all pretty much parodies already.

[KalashnikovKid762]

@godlessmessiah <- true

[thejobloshow]

@godlessmessiah The Onion isn't comedy - it's news from the future.

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

@godlessmessiah

im not, ive been getting news from them since the beginning

[TheLegendaryBanana]

I don't like those bitch ass reporters

[mrgreen416]

@TheLegendaryBanana yea

[SuperCamB]

im pretty sure their making fun of news reporters

[Minnesnowtakid]

I thought The Onion was satirical. Outside of the puns, they reported completely accurately on this.

[hunnikay]

that guy is too... PUNny...

[yuanali]

1:58 Justin Bieber, anyone?

[mtssvnsn]

@ObamaSnippetsDotCom

FU CK YOU, SPAMMER-SCUMBAG!

[InsertYourBeliefHere]

Okay, apart from the terrible puns, this video is really accurate.

[funnywhiteroots]

Radical puns!

[SaneLunacy]

Reefer Sadness haha

[MiCKi914]

so many drug puns! hahaha

[blankpage100]

Hah, Brooke's closing line is so punny that it's not even a pun...

[Toestubber]

Brilliant, but too close for comfort. This is exactly how the mainstream media treats every story about marijuana - like a bunch of bored, giggling 4th graders. Look at the footage of our President dismissing the very idea of legalization with a smirk. Drug warriors don't have to worry about the legal structure. They know that members of the protected classes won't be getting tossed into cages.

[skulleton]

Yes, but it satirizes the medias attitude towards legalization. In doing so, it reminds the public how childish the media is being. Also, this childishness just mirrors the general public attitude, which is just as apathetic.

[TrickKae]

Brooke's closing line = BOOM! Headshot!

[SkiFantic]

Though it is a satire. This video is a great video promoting medical marijuana. It is a wonder drug for those dealing with chemo (speaking from personal experience). I was surprised the onion went so far to really make this video as political as it is.

An excellent satire with an amazing argument!

[helloimtom100]

lmfao i almost died when he said refer sadness

[flamingarse1]

this seems oddly true

[CptMackillin]

That was a painful amount of puns I started cringing towards the end

[mjelves]

so much pun....

[boikanyoketsile]

lol.

[reavij1]

This just happens to be The Onion's 420th upload.

[fuss101]

"Patients are piping up" lol

[dillonator42]

Lol... such a perfect example of how pun-giddy the media get when talking about something remotely funny.

[lukassnakeman]

did they get enough cheesy weed puns in that story, also medicine is a drug.

drug- a substance that has a physiological affect wen introduced into the body. all medicines are drugs not all drugs are medicine, but weed is

[skulleton]

@lukassnakeman

satirical news story is satirical

[lukassnakeman]

@skulleton i looked up satirical and still cant tell if you're insulting me or not. i sound so ignorant right now it hurts

[skulleton]

@lukassnakeman

I mean its fake. You made it sound as if you believed this was a real news story. It wasn't my intention to make you feel ignorant.

[lukassnakeman]

@skulleton i know the onion is fake, wut was that movie called where it was like the guy was trying to unload some land mines developed for the military and they didnt want them

[benjy468]

"it's reefer sadness" lol

[Mokongo92]

what a clever play on words

[ToothpasteCannon]

In a world full of lies and satire, The Onion tells only the truth.

[TheNanakDev]

No PUNS intended.

[guomaster]

Brooke I want to get you prego behind the back of that duane reade

[ehhhhhhhhhh]

Wow, this one is fucked up. And they're spot on. Just legalize it, already.

[TigreStores]

You can use your fear tactics, throw me in jail, whatever... I will be free .

Its my life, its my body, QUIT telling me what I can put in my body.

Lets sue govt for controlling our water, food, and shitty meds on the market thats all killing my avatar....

Constitution, amendments, religion, all say I can use this herb.

Jesus used MJ, read your bible...

CONTROL... KILL THE CONTROL.

[TheSpartanK11]

I have to say, that there are simply not enough weed puns going on in this segment. Just the 'highdea' of too few puns 'totally bums me out'.

[pawlied]

YES

[Wolvenfire86]

PUNS ARE NOT FUNNY!!!! WARBALHSBARASFDGHFGJHAG!!!!!ON­E1

[JaeEffingKae]

@Wolvenfire86 that's why its funny.

[MetroActiveTV]

Google and read "A public bus driver, a dead passenger and marijuana"

[BlissfullAwareness]

This is exactly what the media does.... treats medicinal marijuana like a joke... letting people die in the face of trivial differences... while displaying hilarious puns.

Just spelling it out for people.

[jonathanm1224]

it took me awhile to figure out the whole joke here is all the puns

[Lesserthannone]

first 40 seconds barley over doing it, after that an asymptote which i can only presume leads to incomprehensible pot babbling.

[Lesserthannone]

I am 40 seconds in and so far, its basically a real news story.

[Lesserthannone]

I am 40 seconds in and so far, its basically a real new story.

[ThisIsNotPictureTube]

i dont think i've ever heard so many puns in 2 and a half minutes

[TheRandomHoboChannel]

I live in the Netherlands, and the funny part is; weed has never been that kind of a problem to out society. Nobody fucks up because of weed, really.

[Xezatt]

@TheRandomHoboChannel thats cause you live in the Netherworld.

[ADTR72494]

TOO MANY PUNS

[MongoMcMichael]

It's reefer sadness!

[EoinStidster]

Lmfao. That was great.

Legalize it.

[sean9820]

So many puns!

[Mikuruification]

I need medical marijuana for head aches ma Nigga

[swett511]

you think this would help legalize marijuana. stupid stuff like this is why people laugh when they say we should legalize it

[realMUSICisMUSE]

@benmaltz no such thing as poor taste with the onion

[AGentlemanAndScholar]

Reefer Sadness lmfao

[naveregnide]

STOP THE PUNSSS HAHAHAHAH

[steelbrzz]

I don't find this to be a joking matter.

[032125]

@steelbrzz The Onion sets out to offend someone every day. Congratulations; it's your day!

[XgokkunX]

@steelbrzz the cancer isn't the funny part. the funny part is that the onion is satirizing REAL news reporters that use dumb puns at dumb times even about grave subjects (like cancer)

[MechaArnzilla]

Sadly, this is the kind of tongue in cheek reporting the MMJ subject gets from "real" reporters. In California, we're actually pretty serious about MMJ and rarely make of it a joking matter. Ironic, I know.

[reggiessidekick]

Is this the future?

[ubercomix95]

The funny thing is that this is more accurate than most new reports on the subject.

[joellawry]

2:26 "Where... is the pun?" face

[Raveninety9]

tbh Marijuana alone wouldnt make youu all crazy like they did in the 60's, there was a lot of craziness inside those guys they let out which is awesome

[MrVKCA]

@Raveninety9

you're really fucking stupid

[drockskittles]

SO MANY PUNS

[xfactor0693]

Is it weird my professor takes a break at 4:20 in every class.....lol

[fatguyonthc]

While I am sure that a lot of people took this as nothing more than a funny video, this video was not made to be a comedy, and there is nothing funny about the Government attacking it's own citizens in the name of profits.

[nesterhaus]

Big pharma hates it as does big alcohol-Wonder why?

NO case of death caused from weed!

Over 100K people dies each year from properly taking prescriptions from side effects. Damn the onion is funny and knows how to point out pure stupidity and moronic bahavior of our government.

Oh and the cure for cancer exists-look at the extensive research done in the 40's & 50's using mega doses of vitamins and its success. Too much money to be made "treating" cancer to ever cure it-fact

[fruitegable]

I love the ending XD

[havock202]

"you wouldnt think a drug would act as a medicine for cancer?" Ummmmm arent all pills that are popped drugs? Advil, Tylonal, oxycotton, and some other shit. Good thing about weed is it only has about 3 side effects which include but are not limited to: Hungry, Happy, Sleepy. (not necessarily in that order)
