Judge Jim Gray Part 2: 5 Reason To Decriminalize Marijuana

[vetsaway]

Good judge but still missing the point.Hemp oil made from marijuana cures at least 200 different ilness's even cancers.The VA told me i had fibromalagia(forgive my spelling)and there was no cure.They were dead wrong.Hemp oil cured it and it also cured a bad knee i had and it opened up my breathing.This fact has been around since 1974 when the cancer societys found it and just swept it under the rug.It is the safest and easiest treatment you can use and you can do it yourself.No doctors needed.

[nphanlon1973]

hmm ....my father was a judge in australia and said much the same thing

[MrSafetymeeting]

While I like this guy, he has some facts wrong. Hemp isn't the stalk of marijuana. Hemp is hemp. It's related but different. I'd like to have his hookup. He says he's gettin ounces for $100!

[leppy111]

why can't they take the money and fight the bad drugs with it, coke, crack, meth,etc that could keep them busy and funded. we need to go johnny apple seed with the stuff. one plant produces hundreds of seeds

[plantsofthegods]

well he sure wasnt the residing judge when i got a bullet from his courtroom,and it was for a god given and well documented plant called manna.manna was is gods gift to moses to feed the masses when there was no food,the feds didnt give me a year his da did.hemp is a comonly grown and eradicated daily,actually,kenaf is the past 40 years natural replacement and is why the dea criminalized,K2,OH AND YOU GORILLA FAMILY GROWERS DONT FORGET TH BLM OWNS 50 FT OFF FREEWAY,all chp go all blacktop,peace

[plantsofthegods]

@plantsofthegods if there were more judges like him familys against mandatory minimums would not need to have vigils for there lost prisoners of three strikes and life in prison for non violent crimes.97% of criminals in california are drug adicts that are repeat ofenders,there is no witness or victim in these crimes,these are charged by the state for the people without the consent of a victim or witness,the da and judge follow a prewritten in law to mandatory minimum instead of judge on crime

[opacid]

I think it's moronic to put people in prison for using marijuana. If people wanna be morons, let em. Moronic alcoholics and moronic mirijuana users so what. Let them all be idiots.

[empie45]

I have lived with a pothead, not fun. Bad idea.

[99butcher99]

@empie45 move out.. as you probably did.  Or light up

[leppy111]

@empie45 Probably didn't care for you either

[Bebop435999]

Love Judge Gray!!!!!!!

[Kskeeters]

did you just hear him say 50 dollars an ounce?

hold on i have to go change my pants

[MikefromMesia]

YES ON 19!!!

[squirreljester2]

How about arresting the federal agents that come in and violate the state laws, if they legalize marijuana. Once you start to put the government on the spot, they will buckle.

The government's main weakness is knowledge of the people. The more hidden they can keep everything, the better off they are, and the worse off we are.

[blowbackinevitable]

the states have just as much right to regulate drugs as the federal gov does zero.

stay out of the peoples business .Everything the gov touches turns to shit,let the freemarkets prevail as they once did ! it was not gov regulated before 1937 and kids did what their parents allowed them too.

[louisvillepoet]

I WAS REFERRING TO THE BIBLE IN THAT SENSE AT ALL. I APOLOGIZE IF THAT IS HOW I CAME ACROSS. I MEANT IT IN REFERENCE OR DIRECTED TOWARD THOSE WHO USE THE BIBLE, BY THEIR OWN INTERPRETATION, AND MAKE IT THEIR MORAL COMPASS THAT THEY CAST UPON EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING THEY DON'T AGREE WITH IN THIS WORLD.

[louisvillepoet]

THIS COUNTRY NEEDS TO GET WITH TIMES AND GET OFF THEIR OWN INDIVIDUALIZED MORAL SOAP BOXES. IT SHOULD BE ABOUT COMMON SENSE, WHAT IS BEST FOR THE MASSES, WITH BIBLES AND PERSONAL BELIEFS ASIDE.

[BlindMaphisto]

@louisvillepoet I don't know why you would put the bible aside. The very first page of the bible says it's good.

[13AJJONES]

IF YOU HATE DRUGS,...THEN LEGALIZE THEM AND MAKE IT SAFE FOR MY KIDS !!

[themanwithnoplan55]

@13AJJONES Stay above the ignorance, it's really eye opening.

[13AJJONES]

@themanwithnoplan55  THANK YOU .

[superlucci]

I agree with what he says and I think he is the best speaker about Drugs that I have seen so far. But could someone explain to me why would the Government actually refuse to accept what Jim Gray says? I believe Jim Gray said the Government won't stop the War on Drugs because it provides them funding, is the funding just going to the people on the War on Drugs or to other agencies as well? I probably misinterpreted but, would increase funding for War on Drugs give a payraise to the police working

[joepglass]

God I hate this fucking country sometimes.=(

[criticalhavoc]

much better than what my grandad said all he can say is (WAT THE FUCK IS THAT SMELL) i just laugh thats a great benefit

[OversightOfGovt]

[novaflo339]

best video on youtube!!!

[Raidergod69]

Your Honor, we need more honest people like yourself to speak up.

[420squeeg]

I've found myself staring at his odd lamp the entire time, LOL

[spacehelmetforacow]

@420squeeg That's a lamp? I thought it was some kind of weird statue....

[eulercircles]

I am all for legalizing it ... but if it's legalized, how could it be regulated? It's just too easy to grow your own and smoke it for free, rather than going out and buying a pack of 'smokey joes'. This is not the case with cigarettes and alcohol, which are much trouble to make on your own.

[choomanfoo]

If you still support the kool aid mass suicide cult of prohibition, and erroneously believe that you can win a war without logic and practical solutions, then prepare yourself for even more death, corruption, terrorism, sickness, imprisonment, unemployment, foreclosed homes, and the complete loss of the rule of law and the Bill of Rights.

[drewby900]

Why dont you all get off your lazy ass and something about it. If you live in Cali get out and vote this year.....and spread the word

[6sully8391]

I want to make love to this video. So perfect!

[guitarplayer4life666]

Regulate the weed like cigerattes, Because 1. If you regulate it like alchol, your gonna get it a 21 year old to buy you the stuff, so if you regulate it like cigerattes 18, any body that is 18 can buy the weed.

BoyCott the Alchol and the Tobacco corporations and lets send them the damn message "To fuck off"

[MelOAyness]

Any illuminated mind would need only a peripheral exposure to the great controversy over the suppression of marijuana by the government, to understand that something is drastically wrong with the marijuana issue and the government is not acting responsibly on behalf of it's citizenry.

We fled England at a time when we were oppressed by an uncaring King, founded America and established a new government. That government has now become every bit as uncaring as the last King was.

Revolution NOW!

[ldjx1000]

Very well said Mel...Very well said kudos to you

[MelOAyness]

If the American system cannot provide jobs, what else can you expect people to do to generate a living wage? Those who grow pot for sale, often do it for that very reason, they need to live and as those who understand the great myth, it is not a moral issue with them, it is simply a practical means of sustaining themselves in a system where they are not given an alternative economic opportunity. Our leaders have all filled their pockets at our expense, THEY have set the example that we follow.

[Durgeofcerberus]

lol he repeats himself an awful lot.

[RwCConway]

i support this, but on reason number 3. i think ppl will still be growing it and selling it to kids like they do today. it wont be completely controlled by government, kids will be getting weed even easier now by stealing it from parents and such ways.

[MelOAyness]

Kids are too busy stealing their parents meds and prescription drugs and besides, they can get pot on any street corner at a high price which only supports the illegal drug market. After the track record of America's failed "drug war", the country should have enough information by now, to start intelligently discussing the issue rather than continuing to fill our jails with non-violent "criminals" at the taxpayers expense. The government doesn't care about justice, just sucking our wallets.

[ahriman22]

25$ an eighth (What I pay) is nowhere near expensive.

[MelOAyness]

When you stop to consider two things, you'd have to agree when I say that ANY purchased pot is highly priced: #1- Hemp is a hearty weed, it is so easily grown that I've found it growing wild along the highway. There is no crop that costs less to grow than pot.

#2, If you are paying $25 an eighth, that is $200.00 an ounce or $3,200 per pound. If you don't think that it's an expensive purchase, you must have money coming out of your ass! Wake up dude, it's just a weed that flowers in your mind!

[ahriman22]

I pay 120$ for 31grams... Thankfully, my Freelance Pharmacist of choice likes me and give me lower prices. Although yes, weed can get stupid expensive, sometimes 400$ an ounce depending on the strain.

[PoserBallin]

Fair enough, but why would people spend time and money growing it to sell it to kids? that would be like someone brewing booze in their basement then giving it to kids.

[RwCConway]

not exactly because its a lot harder to brew booze than grow weed, and any1 can buy an ounce and sell it for easy profit. becaus you can overprice the product, and sell it for 2 or 3 times as much as it actually would originally cost. just another easy way for a kid to make some money, and gain rep

[DCStagePirate]

This is Intelligence to Tell the World!

I am working on it... : )

Thank You So Much Sir for speaking on this subject!

I am Adding this to my Web Site!!!

Thank You Again!!!

[Davidj501]

I believe you are one of the first people with a real intelligence who have decided to take this issue this deeply into consideration, let alone take a stand on it. Everywhere there are people complaining, However they ussually sound like a bunch of mindless drones with no valid resoning behind their chants to "legalize marijuana". It should be legalized, not for the sake of making it easier to obtain but saving our cities money and keeping children safer, which should always be a top priority.

[gearheadted2]

Great Vid! I say legalize it, and then you could grow hemp for industry. It would cross pollinate with the good stuff and ruin it. Hve all the out of work jail workers tend it...:)

[GIRfan]

More people need to know this.

[Maheu911]

shit is the shit

50$ oz nice

Decriminalize Marijuana

[Hemi26420]

The GOV needs to wake up, it's the 21st century. War on drugs, what a waste of time. Legalize it....

[MrHomersan]

Not just time but also money and more importantly peoples lives.

[iamthebyron]

This was one of the most lucid and convincing arguments for legalizing marijuana that I've ever seen. What an outstanding video!

[MarcosElMalo]

The judge is a great example of an intelligent conservative. We're not all Obama-bashing FOX news watching ignorant racists. In fact, the Obama-bashing FOX news watching ignorant racists aren't the real conservatives, they've just hijacked the label and the GOP. A real conservative cares about liberty, and moral crusaders want to take away YOUR liberty so that you will be forced to live in a manner consistent with THEIR beliefs.

Just say no to FOX conservatism, but look into the real meaning.

[ThemindofWigglez]

Well said.

-wigglez-

[TheLogicalTheist]

Very good stuff. Heard the Judge speak before; but it is always good to hear it again.

[TERRYMCKINNEY32]

Another member of the judiciary that has chosen to speak the truth.With the economy in collapse the black market in drugs is supplying more cash to courts and law enforcement.Seizures aside there is no way that efforts of law enforcement will put a dent in the availability of drugs.Police know all this but there's too much easy money for the bad ones and too much quality merchandise to be had,cut rate and still be named a hero.Corruption is the life blood of prohibition.

[SLUMRecords]

also note that the people who say that legalization is the same as promoting drug use by validating bud as a GATEWAY DRUG that inevitably leads to crack etc etc are the same slippery-slope dipshits who claim gay marriage will lead to incestual marriage, animal marriage...YEAH SURE I'M SO INSPIRED BY ROD AND TOD GETTING HITCHED THAT I'M GONNA STICK IT IN MY PET SLOTH BUT ONLY AFTER MARRIAGE LEST I SABOTAGE MY RAPTURE CHECKLIST

[SLUMRecords]

i love how this vid is effective enough to cause some l.e.o., paranoid old churchie, or "believer" in the drug war to watch the vid and instead of countering the argument cogently (which is a tough call, really), he/she just downvotes all the supportive comments.

it's not just the funding addiction of the bureaucrats - it's the corny worrywart moral paranoiac citizens who still call m.j. "wacky tabacky" who keep the "war" going. they're addicted to crusading against SOMETHING, all the time.

[RavenShield420]

Send this video to obama to see it live in a press conference and see him answering it :)

[xchristyxx]

I hope this video touches home to everyone. Without a doubt one of the best videos I've seen on youtube.

[WKDenbow]

Terrorism by Federal Law Enforcement is like any other Terrorism. All you have to do is follow the money trail to see where it is really coming from. Thank you Judge Gray for speaking the truth!

[Track14]

holy shit this guy gets it

[Hicksville]

Fucking awesome. Just finished his book, it's recommended, for sure! Legalize and regulate all drugs, immediately!

[cadp2000]

This is legalization, not decriminalization. He mentions treating marijuana like alcohol.

High five.

[anthonytaurus]

Definitely worth it. Strong, sound arguments. And, at the end, he just sums it all up. It's about the money. Billions of dollars going to fund a failed policy. Too bad the US would rather fund prisons than schools and pay for more police officers instead of more teachers.

[icemanGFX]

Judge Gray has his head in the right place

[firstlk420]

I second that.

[nickmoviemverdi]

Smart man.
