Great video in terms of interviewing and compliation. I totally support legalization of cannabis. The real damage is caused by prohibition enforcement and not the plant itself. It should be legal to use recreationally and medicinally/therapuetically. Go do some more research and advocate legalization! Thanks, and have a nice evening!
I love to smoke pot, but the more I hear and learn about medical marijuana usage, the more I see how ignorant I , as a pothead, was. Just imagine, if I am ignorant about the medicinal aspect, how ignorant are the politicians and especially the economical side of the pharmaceutical firms?. How can they ignore this? The more I know, the more I realize how little I and therefore many others know!.
Oh for fuck's sake, why is this even a question? It's the Prohibition all over again! Are you seriously going to tell us that you learned NOTHING from that time? NOTHING from banning alcohol? NOTHING from mere century ago?
Fuck medical "cannabis" and fuck recreation "cannabis". It's called HEMP.
HEMP can make clothes, plastics, fertilizers, food, drugs, oil, petrol and paper for virtually FREE. You know, all these things we us this thing called "oil" (and wood and linen) to make?..
Cannabis is schedule one which basically says it has no medicinal use what so ever. Obviously that is wrong as clearly it helps some people. So the schedule needs to be changed.
As a recreational drug it is much safer than what have today. So the prohibition needs to be lifted from cannabis. Why would someone in DC be legislating what I can do with my brain? Especially if it is safer than the legal alternative mainly alcohol. I reject this interference with my freedom and civil liberty.
Pharmaceutical drugs cause all kinds of side affects, but weed doesnt have any negative ones. you cannot OD on marijuana. the pharmaceutical companies dont want weed legalized because it was destroy their profits.
I am not denying your rights to express any of your views.
The Bible talks about drunkenness and avoiding strong drink in Proverbs. But , nowhere is it prohibited. Drugs were not mentioned. Konobos was used in anointing oil, used on the sick, when they were prayed for! And this person, who is "beneath you", happens to be an MD . I have a Greek Interlinear Bible, as well as my Dake's King James version. So, what scriptures are should I look up? Any more insults?
You should learn how to write understandable sentences! I cannot come close to understanding, completely, what you are trying to convey. The Constitution of the US is clear on our rights. And, yes, if you personally don't like it, that should have no effect on anyone else's right to use it, recreationally! Are you getting this, yet? I have a lot more eduction, than you ,obviously. And, I don't have to resort to insults to comment. Weak minded? Are you stoned?
I can read! The problem was with the way it was written. It still sounds negative. It is no wonder I misunderstood it!
read it!
"I do not approve smoking marijuana for pleasure or recreational just from religious and person views."
Let me fix the poorly constructed sentence for you...
"I do not approve of smoking marijuana for pleasure or recreation, because of religious or personal views." And I am just guessing here. Do you approve of recreational use or not?
Where in your religious book does it prohibit the intake of alcohol or other drugs. In the Christian Bible it does not. Christians need to know their Bible. And, the other religions need to prove it is in their books not to use it!! Your personal views should have no effect on other's liberty!
Let's assume that there is no legitimate medical use for cannabis. Who care? What medical use is there for doughnuts? What authority does anyone have to tell someone else what he or she may eat, drink, smoke, inject, or otherwise consume? I avoid salt and caffeine. I rarely drink alcohol and I've never even tried pot. I really don't approve of recreational drugs. Nonetheless, it's none of my business what anyone else does.
Having a 'balanced conversation' about this issue is basically an invitation for ignorant, emotional people with little skin in the game to air their views. I know because I was one of those people. Legalize it.
If people can't figure out how to not kill themselves, then let them die. It's free. It's non-violent. It's environmentally friendly. And I get the dead morons women.
Fact is government needs vices to be illegal. Alcohol is bad. Make it illegal. So now government sells it. Gambling is bad. Make it illegal. So now government has lotto. It's a simple formula.
Legalize it all and let God sort them out. It's their own body/property.
A person who take too much Cannabis has to take a lot of vitamin C, Hemp seed oil ( because there is a relation with and chlorella. Anyway, any person who takes Cannabis has to take this. I find out that the seventh gear your body is put in needs this nutrition to makes it even more effective.
Three perspectives and they all support your claim without citing any scientific evidence isn't that a coincidence? I used to think that reason.tv supported a marketplace of ideas now I see they are all about propaganda. If you can't support your thesis bring up sob stories on why everyone else but you is wrong and claim there is no real debate. "Arrested for baking brownies for our patients..." Now doesn't that simplify breaking the law and giving people an illegal substance.
@europeanguy3 I wonder had it ever occurred to you that the law is wrong and that the substance should not be illegal, and the government should not use force to tell us what we can or can not put into our bodies especially when doing so prevents the effective treatment of illness. Having a different perspective on the issue of drugs and sharing that perspective is not propaganda. there have been almost no studies done on marijuana because it is a schedule one drug and even testing it is illegal
Everyday user here, and I'm sick of people pushing "medical marijuana." If we get "medical marijuana" its going to be 50 times more expensive than what we buy now. Not only would it have the heart & soul taxed out of it, we would have to all get our wallets out to go through the expensive medical beaurocracy as well. BTW, the doctor is wrong about pot helping you sleep. Being high on pot prevents R.E.M. while you sleep. In otherwords, it kind of takes the point out of sleeping.
Prevents REM sleep? I say that is baloney! Dreams occur during REM sleep. Like other sedating drugs, it more than likely increases REM sleep to the point of decreasing deep sleep. The point of sleeping is the deep, restorative, sleep. The point is some sleep will be better than none at all!
The doctor knows more than you , obviously!
PS Mine is a professional opinion, the result almost two decades of college and post graduate education in the medical field!
Riiight, boast and don't post your so called credentials on a youtube forum. Someone with as much education as you claim to have wouldn't waste their time replying to a bunch of comments here and if they did, they wouldn't take your non position on it. Read a book, you will find that the effects of pot kill R.E.M. (yes I know dreams) during sleep. From personal experience I know as well. Thats why I sober up now before going to bed.
Its called an and graduate school plus and MD degree to get technical. And I control pain and sleep better with it (retired). And, yes, I guess, arrogant doctors might think they are above posting on here. I hope I am not that bad! You have the title of that book, you claim to be referencing? I am not above learning something, new, either. And, I was taught in medical school that research means something. Anecdotal reports (personal experience) means nothing.
Based on your age, what I'm saying would have been in published medical studies before you supposedly became a MD, which I don't believe for a second. I've never talked to a doctor who isn't well spoken and you are not. I've never met a doctor retired or not with time to troll youtube comment sections. Look up the easy to find studies on marijuana and sleep yourself. You can roleplay as an authority of subjects behind your anonymity on the internet with someone else while your at it.
I happened to be very aware of the problems with the drug war, because it had an affect on the pain patient's lives, that I cared for. I happen to be very passionate about it.
I have not seen a name of the study you want me to read. My school had a system that taught us top read up. I would even look up information, in front of patients, to be sure, i was not forgetting anything about their care..
I became an MD in 1979 and finished my surgical residency in 1984. And, I came from a poor family, the first to ever graduate form anything other than high school. Your being very judgmental, having very little information to base it on. My patients, actually, liked me, because I could communicate with them, unlike some arrogant bastard, who was too uppity to talk to them!
Sitting around on a Sunday afternoon, I would have the time to look at issues I care about. I also happen to like my computer. Just because "you have never met" has no real meaning to whether or not I choose to be an active participant in discussions that interest me.
Respond to this video... You are the one making the initial claim that is unsubstantiated. I have seen articles that claim both increased and decreased REM sleep, for Elavil. So, it comes to the inquisitive to research who is right.
It would be so much simpler if you would tell me the article you are referring to. Now, I am going to have to look it all up, without any help from you. Because, I hate to be saying something wrong.
Its quite conclusive that tetrahydrocannabinol lowers serotonin levels reguardless of which study you read. You're backpeddaling by and saying you don't know one way or the other when you were sure before. I don't have a low opinion of you, I just don't believe you. You give out alot of reason not to like saying you're a MD and telling people you like to get high in online video comments. It should be legal on principle, no silly kill that cold with a shot of whiskey excuses required.
Have you not figured out yet, it does not really matter if you believe me or not. I will still be the same person tomorrow. Yes, it should be legal, It is much safer than alcohol, which I rarely consume. I am retired, by the way. So its nobody's business what I do with my own body. You still were unable to quote your source, so you are no more believable than I am.
I'm not claiming authority whilst drifting off the subject. I said pot negatively impacts sleep and REM, you disagreed as a "MD." I said there are many easy to find studies out there that say otherwise and I also know from personal experience. You said my personal experience doesen't count however, theres studies on the subject with multiple conclusions. I said not when it comes to serotonin. C'mon, your demanding that I provide something you concede to having already seen yourself.
I have been on this computer about three hours now, looking for sleep pattern information. All of the reports I read from knowledgeable doctors and neurologists, said all of the patients claimed improved sleep. So ,I guess your personal experience is a fine example of the case where no medication effects any person exactly the same way. Most sleep better, according to all of those articles I just looked up. You happen to be one of the low percentage patients who doesn't sleep.
No I sleep, because eventually it makes me exhausted. It doesen't mean the sleep is good. Again, its why I wait till I'm sober to go to bed. If you cannot find the studies on it in three hours or at least the several studies that conclude pot negatively impacts your serotonin production or REM during sleep, then you really do need to put the pipe down. My interest in this is gone, like 2-3 responses ago. Good luck.
Well, I did not find what you were falsely claiming.? Amazing! I found that everyone was saying it improved sleep. You have not produced one article substantiating your claims! That would be your failure, not mine.
Well, I'm a hospice nurse. Unless the dose isn't big enough, Marinol is pretty much worthless. Now, for all I know smoking it may help, but most gravely ill people have no business putting smoke of any kind in their lungs. Just my two cents.
@mlang52 My don't we like to be rude? Those forms are illegal, wiseapple. Plus, smoking is contraindicated in most chronic and end stage diseases. Marinol comes in an "edible" form. It is a pill.
Sorry about the rude response. But my point was, there are other ways to take it, other than smoking. And, technically, in most states all forms, except Marinol, are illegal. I should have been more complete and less rude in my response, Sorry , again.
Drug companies ought to be making pills so patients can get their THC in regulated amounts. That way the patients will be more in control of their medication so they won't over or under do it.
They do make pills (Marinol), and they do not supply all of the different cannabinoids that the plant does! Patients say it is not the same! And they cost >$300/month!
Wow! That price is out of sight and to make it worse, the patients find the pills don't give them relief? Hope they find a way to get a steady dose at reasonable prices.
@yakyakyak69 - I agree that medical use is a slippery slope. We must be careful or we will end up with the same problems we have with prescription meds. Including big pharma trying to genetically modify and lobby Congress (again).
@str8razer007 Cental planning and population manipulation via taxation-regulation is THE red brick road to Statist Tyranny. Both the crony (R) and crony (D) Statists LOVE to manipulate the "free market" to benefit their special interest groups.
Focus on INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY instead of Classes or Groups and society as a whole will be more free and more responsible.
@yakyakyak69 - But, it's not free market. It hasn't been. That's the problem. What they have been manipulating is law. They ignore the Constitution and pass laws and give subsidies.
I'm all about The Individual. People don't seem to realize that the smallest, most often abused minority is the Individual. Forget race, religion, philosophy, region, politics, sex, or sexual orientation. If you want to be communist/socialist more power to you! Just don't include me or infringe on my Rights!
666 views! ooooooooo.....democracy is about the will of the people, not will of the police. It's time, it's discrimination. What happens if this fixes things in this country, will it get the credit it deserves now?
7:00 When the man with multiple sclerosis starts to name off the PHARMACEUTICAL POISONS that he is prescribed I about blew a fuckin fuse. This poor guy has a debilitating disease & BIG PHARMA still refuses to give him the 1 & only medication he needs. 2 of the drugs he is taking, Baclofen & Effexor have some of the worst withdrawal symptoms. Then they give him Dextroamphetamine, which is basically speed, to counteract the sleepiness causes by Baclofen. BIG PHARMA makes me fuckin sick.
Don's comment on MS being depressing is so freaking on the mark. I have CMT a form of MD similar to MS with no cure or meds available. Each day I can feel the effects as my body slowly de-evolves. A gov't, a society, the people of a country are known by how they treat the weakest members of their society. Legalize cannabis across the nation. Bring a few moments of happiness each day to those suffering with ailments that not only robs us of our bodies but also our humanity. Thanks ReasonTV!!!!!
@justonemorename What makes you say I listen to HBO? I mean I watch Bill Maher if that's what you mean. But the Tea Party champions the likes of Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin and that's like saying you're in a political party that supports cancer and AIDS.
@jordanowen42 - Wow. I don't know what you are arguing about. And I don't know what Sarah Palin's stance on marijuana is. But, I do know that Glenn Beck has already come out and said that he has no problem with ALL drugs being legalized. Just don't come asking him for money for medical care when you've destroyed your body. And if marijuana is so good for you then you, obviously, won't have a problem. There should be no debate. It's your body. It's my money.
@str8razer007 Oh right- Glenn Beck. The guy who called the wife of a rival DJ at their home to tease her about her miscarriage. No- why would someone like that deserve personal attacks?
@jordanowen42 - Uh, what? 1986? Maybe you didn't realize that Glenn Beck has since had a daughter that has cerebral palsy. I never said I'd excuse bad behavior. I said I don't argue opinion. But apparently, that's all you have.
If you don't know Palin's stance, she does not support legalization, even though she came from a state that said it was a protected Constitutional right!, for a while. Anyway, thanks for being a supporter, We need you, too!
@mlang52 - Thanks for the heads up! We should educate her! lol
I think that it's up to us to inform and enlighten. DON'T YELL!!! Go in peace and be accepted. If you go in conflict you will meet greater resistance. Tell them in a calm and understanding voice that by legalizing it you take it out of the hands of criminals and kids and put it into hands of law-abiding citizens. You don't see Bud and Miller shoot outs over territory! You don't see "pushers" on the corner with beer!
What amazes me is that the drugs doctors currently prescribe to their patients have all kinds of horrible effects, many of which have the potential to give you a heart attack, kill you etc. Marijuana on the other hand is generally safe, so long that you are not doing anything that you shouldn't be doing while under the influence, like driving for example.
And the studies that look at driving under the influence, when really stoned, show the same effect as a 0.05 alcohol level. LEGAL! Although I would not encourage it, scientifically, is still safer than drinking and driving! Get educated. No one has ever died from plain ingestion of cannabis!
It almost makes me wonder if The Federal Go'vt/Military actually did 'experiment' on Pot back in the 50's or 60's and something bad happened. with the results only available to the Gov't Elite, maybe thats why they continue to oppress this subject.....
One thing that bothers me about prop 19 is the taxation and the plant number restrictions. Will cops be able to bust down doors to see if people are growing too many plants? Will they raise taxes so high that people wont be able to afford to buy it or start businesses to sell it? I am an anti-prohibitionist to the core, but this measure might end up giving government too much power (yet again) over private trade between consenting adults. I would rather vote for blanket legalization.
@renegade2142 I'd rather vote for blanket legalization too. But I'll still vote 'yes' on 19. I made the mistake of voting against 215 (medical MJ) years ago because it was bad science/medicine... prescribing a whole plant to smoke is sloppy and inconsistent with modern medicine.
But the perfect is the enemy of the good. 215 opened a door to further study and, more importantly, helped some people deal with disease better... a 'gateway proposition'. So vote 'yes', despite the imperfection.
Interesting thing from this video that I didn't know -- that different cannabinoids are known to have various specific effects. This means that the pharmaceutical industry in fact could profit from the drug by developing products with specific amounts of the various cannabinoids.
I've never liked the unscientific approach of smoking a whole plant with many different chemicals with various effects... real research here could yield some fantastic medications.
@mlang52 Smoking is unhealthy, but vaporizing (as opposed to burning) reduces the risks greatly. And smoking is the quickest way to get a drug to the brain (even quicker than injection)... speed can be important in some situations. Eating MJ can work too, but a lot of people use MJ because they can't eat well without it.
I don't know specifically for MJ, but drugs will have different effects depending on how they're administered... research is necessary because there are a lot of unknowns.
Out of a hundred medical marijuana licensed users, how many do you really think have a legitimate need for it?
I live in San Francisco and while I don’t do drugs I thought I’d see if could get a license. I went to a “doctor” and told him I feel sad about my most resent hair cut, after a wink, a nod, and 50 dollars I was in like flint. I never thought that the medical world would prescribe weed for a bad hair cut. Further proof that medical weed is a joke.
No, that doctor is the joke! But, it should be legal, anyway! Your little experiment does not deny the validity that cannabis can be a good medicine for many people. What is not good is that crooks like you want to play the system. You are no different than the other cheaters! It is people like you that cause the people that need to to be unable to get it! Same thing happens in chronic pain management!
@Yereviltwin2 My experience is that you're absolutely correct - most "medical" MJ users do not have a legitimate medical need. I know a lot of people who now get it through a doctor instead of buying it on the black market.
But whatever harm is done by over-prescription is still overwhelmed by the good effects of the drug for people who really benefit from it. Look into the truly suffering people who benefit from it... would you deny them medical MJ because others abuse the system?
3:30 The Alex Jones radio show discusses internet censorship & freedom of speech on Feb. 7, 2010. So Ronnie Smith gets on the air & tells them he was using Rick Simpson's Cancer Cure Hemp Oil & had cured over 100 terminal cases. They hung up on him & cut out his entire phone call from the archives. While another Texas radio station has interviewed Rick Simpson (& Dr. Melamede). You Tube ... "Rick Simpson on Hemp Oil - OneRadioNetwork (Part 1 of 4)"
4:45 Cannabinoid receptors are in our brain, intestines, liver, spine, ribs, white blood cells, in our skin & bone marrow (stem cells) etc. Without the Endocannabinoid System stem cells would act like a car without a driver! While our throat contains Nicotine Receptors, so you can thank Nicotine for throat Cancer!
-The 600 Million+ year old Endocannabinoid System* & 34 Million year old Cannabis.
*Dr. Guy, Executive Chairman of GW Pharmaceuticals
-Endocannabinoids in mammals is an evolutionarily ancient phenomenon that may date back to the unicellular common ancestor of animals & plants. PMID: 16596778
-Dr. Melamede ... "Cannabinoids are in every living animal on the planet above Hydra & Mollusks with the exception of insects**"
**We hypothesized that CB receptors were lost in insects. PMID: 11447587
10:08 Is Paul Feine, Alex Manning or Nick Gillespie allowed to interview Rick Simpson concerning his Cancer Cure Hemp Oil (Cannabis extract full of Cannabinoids including THC)?
The Gooberment has used this medicine for agenda's since day one. Just another example of the psy-op for our perceptions that we live in every day. I am finding lots of "hemp oil" and cancer cure lately.
Why don't you people Wake the Fu*k Up and Legalize this HERB? Did You Hear or Read what I just Said? HERB!!! HERB!!! HERB!!! VOTE RON PAUL AND RALPH NADER 2012 and FUC* THE SLUT SARAH PALIN HER CUN* STINKS I CAN TELL YOU THIS FOR SURE BY STANDING NEXT TO HER!
Why do most people think libertarians are nothing but potheads? It's because of the preponderance of libertarian videos like this one. Quit lying about weed, and perhaps quit talking about it altogether, if you're truly interested in forwarding the Libertarian cause. You're obviously too close to weed to render a rational discussion about it.
(For the record, I think weed smokers are idiots, but I love Libertarianism. I don't think they need to be connected, despite what Reason editors say)
@blogegog Well isn't this mainly the point of libertarianism? I may not agree with what you do, but as long as it doesn't harm someone else I respect, nay, defend your right to do it?
"I think weed smokers are idiots" Thinking is not your strong suit, huh?!
Now, you start calling names, just like the liberals do when they start coming up against the facts! I could call everyone idiots, that I don't know, too. It would only prove how big a dunce, I was!
@realrockvince Federal law trumps State law so regardless if California legalizes it, it will still be a federal crime to smoke or distribute marijuana.
@residentzombie doesnt matter the federal goverment doesnt have the man power to enforce law and is seriously strapped for cash these days you cant eradicate a natural growing plant espically when the public demand is so high you can only try to control it but that hasnt proven so well since the drug war is a failure
@WNxShisno I didn't realize you knew about nullification. Yes I have heard Tom Woods go into it in detail. What I said is still true, but yes if a brave State wants to try that, I encourage it.
@residentzombie 10th Amendment: Since there's no mention of the Federal government having the power to make drugs illegal, drug prohibition isn't constitutional.
Also, who cares what the Federal government says? I don't.
According to the Feds, medical pot is illegal, but 14 states have it. 25 states nullified Bush's Real ID Act. Gun regulation and Obamacare are being nullified too.
@realrockvince The federal government claims the power to do this under the Commerce Clause (Article 1 Section 8). Yes I know this is crazy, but the Supreme Court allows this to happen. If you want to change the usage of the Commerce Clause, we must get at least 5 'original intent' Justices. There is no easy way to change this with elected officials. This requires a philosophical rethinking on the majority of Americans, and will take alot of time that we may not have left.
@residentzombie At the risk of furthering this "youtube debate", you missed my main point: if 25 states said "we're not going to enforce Real ID in our state" and the Feds gave up and abandoned Real ID... that means we won! Game over. Nullification works. End of story. The same goes for medical marijuana.
@realrockvince California dispensories get busted all the time by the federal government and go to federal prison for marijuana distribution. The States can do whatever, but the federal government WILL enforce federal laws regardless. I agree on nullification, but the federal government will do what it wants to do.
@threewing Another of the profound things is that you don't do anything useful at all while smoking pot. And the more you do it, the more useless you are. I'm surprised that you're not embarrassed.
@blogegog To what use should some one be subjected to? Working with every ounce of energy? If so, for who? A company? Government? Religion? Or useful to the longest life a human can live? If so why is that desired? Can I still eat chips and play video games? Can I have a beer? Watch the hockey game? Read a fiction novel? I sure wouldn't want to be caught doing any of those things if some person, somewhere, for some reason(purportedly) might see it as useless. Think much?
@ryinski2 "To what use should some one be subjected to? Working with every ounce of energy? If so, for who? A company? Government? Religion? Or useful to the longest life a human can live?"
@blogegog Are your comments time-travelling from the 1930's Reefer Madness Era? Were you aware that acclaimed scientist Carl Sagan smoked marijuana? How about all of the genius musicians from the 60's and 70's? I can tell you first hand, I'm a computer programmer and a math whiz. I wrote 2 computer programming books. I smoke pot.
I'm surprised you are not embarrassed at how easily susceptible you are to propaganda.
@blogegog That might be true of certain people who use pot... but those people wouldn't be doing anything useful anyway. Plenty of very successful, highly motivated and active people smoke it. You've bought into some of the most demonstrably false anti-drug propaganda out there. You need to meet more people.
@ghuegel Trust me, I do not need to meet more people who smoke weed. I guess I'll take your word for it that successful people smoke it. I've just never met one.
Are you suggesting that pot HELPED them become successful?
But in general, I don't think it directly helps people be more successful... though there's something to be said for a drug that helps people relax and think differently for a little while... especially when it's a substitute for alcohol... and especially in creative endeavors.
And the "more people" you need to meet are adults with successful careers. The stereotypical high school pothead losers would be losers with or without pot.
@blogegog Here's a list of famous/successful people who've used hemp. Some stand out's include Newt Gingrich, Jesus Christ, half the founding fathers, Bill Gates, several presidents, and almost every famous rockstar from the 60's and 70's. Like ghuegel, I'm not saying cannabis made them what they were, but it certainly didn't hurt them.
@renegade2142 We're not talking about hemp here. We're talking about weed. Saying someone 'used hemp' is the equivalent of saying someone 'used string'. I doubt anyone is against using the fibers in the stalk.
In fact, I don't even really care if people want to smoke it. I just don't want to be around them when they do, as it makes them dull-witted and boring. And I REALLY don't appreciate the damage they do to the libertarian cause.
@blogegog Cannabis sativa /indica IS HEMP! Weed, Marijuana, pot are all slang terms used by "drug warriors" to criminalize a plant that is PROVEN to help people. So fine, you have a right not to associate with cannabis users. That's fine. My question to you is what will you do when you end up working with one, or even, dare I say it, FOR one. Lets say you don't know, and then one day you find out that this productive person who might even be a millionaire smokes for medicinal or leisure.
@migkillertwo The drug war is the bane of human society in general. Where do you think these drug war air strikes and things of that nature are carried out? Last time I checked, the US government wasn't killing innocent poverty stricken farmers with guided munitions in Kentucky.
It's a fucking plant, are you going to fine the earth for growing it? Are we going to make other weeds like dandelions illegal too? Having it illegal, and having alcohol legal, is about the most retarded thing ever.
Great vid. If only common sense people could get the red-neck-gun-owner-"conservitives" to understand that the smoking of a plant is not a bad thing, AND if only we could get the tree-hugging-antigun-flip-flop-shoe-"liberals" to understand that the owning of guns to PROTECT your crops is a good thing... Hunter S. Thompson smoked weed and owned guns, what ever happened to real liberty in America?
@migkillertwo All the ones I know do too, lol. I use the term red-neck and flip-flop... very loosely. I happen to be into guns and I hope the just end all the "pot" laws in the country, it's a massive waist of tax payer money and time. I also have customers that are flip-flop type "hippies" that own large gun collections.
I love to see people come together in the spirit of peace and firepower, so long as we agree to just leave eachother to be, and be friends
Great video in terms of interviewing and compliation. I totally support legalization of cannabis. The real damage is caused by prohibition enforcement and not the plant itself. It should be legal to use recreationally and medicinally/therapuetically. Go do some more research and advocate legalization! Thanks, and have a nice evening!

My guess is that this woman knowingly ingested PCP laced marijuana.
I'd venture to say that a lot of inner city hospitals see a few PCP cases each year and they probably also involve marijuana.
So they lie and say marijuana is being sold laced with PCP.

I am not denying your rights to express any of your views.
The Bible talks about drunkenness and avoiding strong drink in Proverbs. But , nowhere is it prohibited. Drugs were not mentioned. Konobos was used in anointing oil, used on the sick, when they were prayed for! And this person, who is "beneath you", happens to be an MD . I have a Greek Interlinear Bible, as well as my Dake's King James version. So, what scriptures are should I look up? Any more insults?

What authority does anyone have to tell someone else what he or she may eat, drink, smoke, inject, or otherwise consume? I avoid salt and caffeine.

Everyday user here, and I'm sick of people pushing "medical marijuana." If we get "medical marijuana" its going to be 50 times more expensive than what we buy now. Not only would it have the heart & soul taxed out of it, we would have to all get our wallets out to go through the expensive medical beaurocracy as well. BTW, the doctor is wrong about pot helping you sleep. Being high on pot prevents R.E.M. while you sleep. In otherwords, it kind of takes the point out of sleeping.

Prevents REM sleep? I say that is baloney! Dreams occur during REM sleep. Like other sedating drugs, it more than likely increases REM sleep to the point of decreasing deep sleep. The point of sleeping is the deep, restorative, sleep. The point is some sleep will be better than none at all!
The doctor knows more than you , obviously!

I have been on this computer about three hours now, looking for sleep pattern information.

You happen to be one of the low percentage patients who doesn't sleep.

One thing that bothers me about prop 19 is the taxation and the plant number restrictions. Will cops be able to bust down doors to see if people are growing too many plants? Will they raise taxes so high that people wont be able to afford to buy it or start businesses to sell it? I am an anti-prohibitionist to the core, but this measure might end up giving government too much power (yet again) over private trade between consenting adults. I would rather vote for blanket legalization.

@renegade2142 I'd rather vote for blanket legalization too. But I'll still vote 'yes' on 19. I made the mistake of voting against 215 (medical MJ) years ago because it was bad science/medicine... prescribing a whole plant to smoke is sloppy and inconsistent with modern medicine.
But the perfect is the enemy of the good. 215 opened a door to further study and, more importantly, helped some people deal with disease better... a 'gateway proposition'. So vote 'yes', despite the imperfection.

And smoking is the quickest way to get a drug to the brain (even quicker than injection)... speed can be important in some situations. Eating MJ can work too, but a lot of people use MJ because they can't eat well without it.

@blogegog Well isn't this mainly the point of libertarianism? I may not agree with what you do, but as long as it doesn't harm someone else I respect, nay, defend your right to do it?

"I think weed smokers are idiots" Thinking is not your strong suit, huh?!
Now, you start calling names, just like the liberals do when they start coming up against the facts! I could call everyone idiots, that I don't know, too. It would only prove how big a dunce, I was!

@mlang52 I think people who say "Thinking is not your strong suit, huh?!" when I mention that I think weed smokers are idiots - are idiots.

Good luck this November, California. I hope you guys legalize it.

@realrockvince Federal law trumps State law so regardless if California legalizes it, it will still be a federal crime to smoke or distribute marijuana.

@residentzombie doesnt matter the federal goverment doesnt have the man power to enforce law and is seriously strapped for cash these days you cant eradicate a natural growing plant espically when the public demand is so high you can only try to control it but that hasnt proven so well since the drug war is a failure

Federal law can only trump state law when we allow them to do it. Constitutionally speaking, the states are in the right to tell the feds, "NO!".
Please, read the constitution for both the US, and your state. We need well-informed citizenry more than ever.

To put it bluntly, prohibition is a direct infringement of the Constitution whatsoever...

@WNxShisno I didn't realize you knew about nullification. Yes I have heard Tom Woods go into it in detail. What I said is still true, but yes if a brave State wants to try that, I encourage it.

@residentzombie 10th Amendment: Since there's no mention of the Federal government having the power to make drugs illegal, drug prohibition isn't constitutional.
Also, who cares what the Federal government says? I don't.
According to the Feds, medical pot is illegal, but 14 states have it. 25 states nullified Bush's Real ID Act. Gun regulation and Obamacare are being nullified too.
We're living in The Age of Nullification!

@realrockvince The federal government claims the power to do this under the Commerce Clause (Article 1 Section 8). Yes I know this is crazy, but the Supreme Court allows this to happen. If you want to change the usage of the Commerce Clause, we must get at least 5 'original intent' Justices. There is no easy way to change this with elected officials. This requires a philosophical rethinking on the majority of Americans, and will take alot of time that we may not have left.

@residentzombie At the risk of furthering this "youtube debate", you missed my main point: if 25 states said "we're not going to enforce Real ID in our state" and the Feds gave up and abandoned Real ID... that means we won! Game over. Nullification works. End of story. The same goes for medical marijuana.

@realrockvince California dispensories get busted all the time by the federal government and go to federal prison for marijuana distribution. The States can do whatever, but the federal government WILL enforce federal laws regardless. I agree on nullification, but the federal government will do what it wants to do.

One of the profound medical uses cannabis has is: I don't go out in the street to kill innocent people when I'm phased out smoking pot.
Actually I also don't do that when I'm sobre, but that's another story...

@threewing Another of the profound things is that you don't do anything useful at all while smoking pot. And the more you do it, the more useless you are. I'm surprised that you're not embarrassed.

@blogegog To what use should some one be subjected to? Working with every ounce of energy? If so, for who? A company? Government? Religion? Or useful to the longest life a human can live? If so why is that desired? Can I still eat chips and play video games? Can I have a beer? Watch the hockey game? Read a fiction novel? I sure wouldn't want to be caught doing any of those things if some person, somewhere, for some reason(purportedly) might see it as useless. Think much?

@blogegog Are your comments time-travelling from the 1930's Reefer Madness Era? Were you aware that acclaimed scientist Carl Sagan smoked marijuana? How about all of the genius musicians from the 60's and 70's? I can tell you first hand, I'm a computer programmer and a math whiz. I wrote 2 computer programming books. I smoke pot.
I'm surprised you are not embarrassed at how easily susceptible you are to propaganda.
noxidereus 1 year ago
@blogegog That might be true of certain people who use pot... but those people wouldn't be doing anything useful anyway. Plenty of very successful, highly motivated and active people smoke it. You've bought into some of the most demonstrably false anti-drug propaganda out there. You need to meet more people.
ghuegel 1 year ago 2
@ghuegel Trust me, I do not need to meet more people who smoke weed. I guess I'll take your word for it that successful people smoke it. I've just never met one.
Are you suggesting that pot HELPED them become successful?
blogegog 1 year ago
@blogegog Carl Sagan claimed that it helped him.
But in general, I don't think it directly helps people be more successful... though there's something to be said for a drug that helps people relax and think differently for a little while... especially when it's a substitute for alcohol... and especially in creative endeavors.
And the "more people" you need to meet are adults with successful careers. The stereotypical high school pothead losers would be losers with or without pot.

@blogegog Here's a list of famous/successful people who've used hemp. Some stand out's include Newt Gingrich, Jesus Christ, half the founding fathers, Bill Gates, several presidents, and almost every famous rockstar from the 60's and 70's. Like ghuegel, I'm not saying cannabis made them what they were, but it certainly didn't hurt them.
renegade2142 1 year ago
@renegade2142 We're not talking about hemp here. We're talking about weed. Saying someone 'used hemp' is the equivalent of saying someone 'used string'. I doubt anyone is against using the fibers in the stalk.
In fact, I don't even really care if people want to smoke it. I just don't want to be around them when they do, as it makes them dull-witted and boring. And I REALLY don't appreciate the damage they do to the libertarian cause.
blogegog 1 year ago
@blogegog Cannabis sativa /indica IS HEMP! Weed, Marijuana, pot are all slang terms used by "drug warriors" to criminalize a plant that is PROVEN to help people. So fine, you have a right not to associate with cannabis users. That's fine. My question to you is what will you do when you end up working with one, or even, dare I say it, FOR one. Lets say you don't know, and then one day you find out that this productive person who might even be a millionaire smokes for medicinal or leisure.

@migkillertwo The drug war is the bane of human society in general. Where do you think these drug war air strikes and things of that nature are carried out? Last time I checked, the US government wasn't killing innocent poverty stricken farmers with guided munitions in Kentucky.

It's a fucking plant, are you going to fine the earth for growing it? Are we going to make other weeds like dandelions illegal too? Having it illegal, and having alcohol legal, is about the most retarded thing ever.

Great vid. If only common sense people could get the red-neck-gun-owner-"conservitives" to understand that the smoking of a plant is not a bad thing, AND if only we could get the tree-hugging-antigun-flip-flop-shoe-"liberals" to understand that the owning of guns to PROTECT your crops is a good thing... Hunter S. Thompson smoked weed and owned guns, what ever happened to real liberty in America?
Lets review PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS.

all the red necks I know smoke pot
migkillertwo 1 year ago
@migkillertwo All the ones I know do too, lol. I use the term red-neck and flip-flop... very loosely. I happen to be into guns and I hope the just end all the "pot" laws in the country, it's a massive waist of tax payer money and time. I also have customers that are flip-flop type "hippies" that own large gun collections.
I love to see people come together in the spirit of peace and firepower, so long as we agree to just leave eachother to be, and be friends
Best regards migkillertwo
