Sen. McCain meets another medical marijuana patient--Nov. 17

[markmartinez717]

Your video is popular on Laos

[indseytate718l]

This video went viral on Nigeria

[mrearlygold]

Locking people up for using a plant puts this country in no position to critisize ANY other countries human rights

[MrMemoryslot]

Who or what would say no to that brave man in the wheelchair? A selfish, greedy politician self-fueled by evil in cruise control.

[chesireTac]

anybody else notice that he started the conversation with "i opose the use of marijuana" and ended it with "I will do my best to look into it" ... well now who's the hypocrite lol

[flowboard04]

We need Ron Paul everyone. It's not a matter of moral issues. If you throw in what people say at church everyone else gets screwed over.

[dom44444]

McCain: "Im against medical marijuana because I get paid millions of dollars by drug companies to be against it"

[djnexus911]

McCain is opposes because he is just as crooked as the drug companies

[Brainstormhaze]

Reminds me of my grandfather in a very ignorant way.it's our life our choice!

[shadowpirate100]

Go figure. Mccain is against Weed because it might hurt his wife's beer profits. Lets just forget the fact that Alcohol is physically addictive and kills thousands a year. I love beer myself, but Mccain looks like a complete hypocrite.

It's reasons like this that made switch to an independent. I agree with republicans on many issues, but I can't stand their willful ignorance when confronted with scientific facts.

[steezbag33]

haha McCain is such a fucking dick. I would love to beat tha fuck out of that old peice of shit.

[TheCowboy277]

haha he lost!!!!!!!!

[IcyScythe]

I really don't understand why the Republicans don't change sides on issues like this. They're supposed to be for freedom of choice right??? That's why they're so opposed to the health care bill and raising taxes.

It's not like the old people are gonna vote Democrat if they change sides on this issue!!

[Slab123456]

RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT WOOO

[simplesaint]

Yikes. I just want more black people to get educated so they can offset these silly old white men. There may be a bit more support for pot if that was the case. Fuck organized religion for sure. Hey purple static like that is killing everybody.

[Faygo069]

I'm "true in my heart" and would still put them in jail. What makes them a puppet for being against this issue? Wouldn't they be a puppet if they just say what you want them to say?

[purpleuiop]

ok that would make them a puppet but, 1st they should really truly look deeply into marijuana laws. 2nd i sincerely doubt your true in your heart i'm pretty sure i'm not true in my heart all the time although i try to be assuming i understand what "true in the heart" means

[Faygo069]

i sincerely doubt that you're true in your heart based on how to came up with the conclusion that i'm not by this one issue you disagree with me on.

[purpleuiop]

yeah actually thats what i'm saying very few people are true of heart and i sincerely doubt you're one of them, you probably wouldn't be saying that you're true in your heart

[Faygo069]

What is true in heart? Being partial to someone and not another? Willing to die to save your family but not someone other person's family? Going against your own beliefs because someone else thinks you're wrong and thus not "true in heart"? Sir, it's hard to reveal who is true in heart till you see someone's real character. Everyone lies.

[IntelligenceXYZ360]

If your looking to legalize and also have a rational president who is sincere. Vote Ron Paul 2012 if he is running again

[purpleuiop]

hell yeah ron paul

[JMS13579]

This was not that bad of an answer.but hes still an idiot who has obviously never smoked weed before.

America needs a republican candidate in 2012 that is for legalizing medical marijauna, if not marijuana entirely. It's about time the republicans started crossing over into supporting common sense issues like this one- they are just afraid they will lose votes from the old people who hate weed. but if they combine their fundemental policies with common sense like this issue they would be great

[wickedkewlmommy]

fuck mcain then

[Locutusofborg789]

Pharmaceutical companies, chemical companies, and various industries like paper, tobacco, alcohol. And the religious right.

[drcranger]

ok is it just me or did anyone else catch this: at the beggining mccain says that he does not and will not support medical marijuana use or research, however around the 2 minute mark mccain says that he will look into this mans personal case. WTF??? he doesnt support it but he says he will look into it, BULLSHIT!! does he really think hes fooling anyone??

[buakawkaoklai]

we love thhat shit ...getting high all day...fuck those old religious ppl

[Steezin113]

McCain is a fucking ignorant bitch. He gets elected i'm moving to Canada

[SGTChuck82]

I had 2 nephews who had muscular dystrophy. One smoked and one did not. The one who smoked lived about 10 or more years longer then the one who did not.

Fuck you John McCain on your continued encouraged crackdowns on people who grow and distribute marijuana.

[Passion4Rock88]

Okay whats worse. Getting drunk to ease your pain or getting high. Because, while your drunk you have no control. THe only reason being high makes you stupid is because it makes you think more. ANd you get so overwhelmed with though that you cant express yourself. And whats the point of cigarettes? theyre legal and far more dangerous than pot. The real reasons marijuana are legal are rediculous.

[triptows]

Drinking is not going to go away easily, yet. If you want to make your point for the legalizating of Mary Jane then you have to compare it to smokes, and make smokes illegal in replace for Mary Jane. Otherwise no deal in the government for sure this day and age.

[txhockeyplaya19]

uhhhh.... looks like someone is exactly right.

oh and fuck obama and the FUCK blacks who voted for him on skin color.

[purpleuiop]

fuck yeah, fuck all minorities and fuck niggers and fuck gooks but especially fuck catholics

[PWD65]

You're cool.

[TheCamManCan75]

What a flipfloppin bitch

[nIkbot4000]

upseting that this is his stand... but a better ticket than the terrorist..

[tmacst22]

thanks for your intelligent comment nikbot! the results are in folks...FEAR TACTICS WORK... if you think obama is a terrorist, you are truly REFUCKINGTARDED. VOTE OBAMA!

[purefire47]

hahah well said!

[xsoadxx075]

Fuck you McCain. I'd rather smoke weed than pop addicting pills.

Obama for Prez!

[IAmMichaelMyers]

@xsoadxx075 yeah look how good that turned out....

[lnboxCreations]

@xsoadxx075 how did Obama turn out now? hahaha

[xsoadxx075]

@lnboxCreations touche.

[xsoadxx075]

@lnboxCreations touche. but for the record id rather pop addicting pills than smoke weed.

[GunCollecter96]

@xsoadxx075 No, I think you mean RON PAUL FOR PREZ!!!!!!!! YEAH!

[kaminoneh]

@xsoadxx075

How's Obama's presidency working out for you? happy with his health care bill that will promote addictive pills rather than marijuana?

[brianmef]

John McCain for President!

[odysseusride]

mc cain has learned little from his torture about compassion-

i feel sorry for him because his eyes see little and his heart has lost his efficacy as he is simply a tool-

Like all thing pot can be abused or used or used w/love.

[PhongLopez]

what a monkey

[prepstarr25]

they rarely attack users. nobody in usa really ever gets persecuted for being users. they can seek out the medical attention they need and feel free about it. We cannot however afford to have our environment destroyed from a dangerous plant (for our ecosystem) ie. the hemp plant is a weed that will take over others, bring in diseases and insects that are not good for usa's environment. USA mostly looks to target the large users or necessary destructive forces.

[prepstarr25]

medical marijuana is a hoax. lol... scam nobody needs marijuana and if they do there's a pill that is a synthetic...... what a scam... these unhealthy idiots think they know the cure for everything. if you legalize marijuana for "medicinal" users you might as well legalize for all. and the next step is to legalize mdma and shrooms and than every other drug. The facts are that if you live in the USA though you can smoke all the weed you want responsibly and nobody will ever bother you!!!!!!!!

[mikasa0507]

i hope they do legalize all of those things. by prohibiting items such as what you have listed, your government only makes it harder for those abusing said substances to seek help. the answer is regulation not prohibition.

[atiba22000]

your statment is not only uneducated but your making an ass of your self by saying you might as well legalize mdma and shrooms. thos "drugs" have no bennificial properties like marajuana. more people die every year because of alcohol related incedents. never herd of anyone dying from weed.

[DarthRane113]

You uneducated twat marijuana has no recorded case of a person dieing do you know why my friend? BECAUSE THEY CAN'T 2nd the medical industry itself has admitted to marijuana's medicinal properties the only reason they ignore it is because if you bring in marijuana they lose money because it takes the costly chemotherapy out of the equation. Along with other things. which i will name after this. ALSO it has no physcial addiction addiction only happens mentally. Which means you have alack of self

[DarthRane113]

self control. The only negative effect of marijuana is you have decreased lung capacity which will return if you stop smoking it for a period of time. NOW onto marijuana's other medicinal purpose

The most disgusting thing is his denial of Medical Marijuana being legitimate. Heres a list of conditions that can be treated and they are ALL well documented.

Chronic Conditions Treated With Cannabis

Body: Genital Herpes 054.10, Herpetic infection of penis 054.13, AIDS Related Illness 042

[DarthRane113]

Post W.E. Enephalitis 062.1, Chemotherapy Convales V66.2, Shingles (Herpes Zoster) 053.9, Radiation Therapy E929.9, Viral B Hepatitis, chronic 070.52, Viral C Hepatitis, chronic 070.54, Other arthropod bone disease 088, Lyme Disease 088.81, Reiters Syndrome 099.3, Post Polio Syndrome 138.0, Malignant Melanoma 172.9, Other Skin Cancer 173, Prostate Cancer 186, Testicular Cancer 186.9, Adrenal Cortical Cancer 194.0, Brain malignant tumor 191, Glioblastoma Multiforme 191.9, Cancer, site

[DarthRane113]

That is only a VERY SMALL portion of the list of things marijuana has been tested on if you want a much much larger list (anyone) ask for it in a pm and I will be happy to oblige

[playdrumsmofuxa]

PWND!! lawls

[ETONG49]

thhis kid is like the jesus for weed, once he dies everyone will realize what weed does for ppl

[velvethandofdarkness]

LOL, opposed to it, but happy to listen! I'm happy to listen to Homer Simpson instead of McCain.

[Govtflu]

Vote 3rd party. The DC mafia clowns are just robots, elite serving empty vessel party slaves. McCorpse is just belching out party talking points without regard to reality.

[stylinprofilen]

Fuck him go to hell mother fucker and die. Hope that is cancer kills the shit out of the fucker all the only thing that helps him fell better is Marijuana. Obama Obama Obama is the man. Everyone look up Obama Medford You Tube.

[Govtflu]

In a recent interview, infamous disease Cancer admitted fear of neo-cons, "Hey look, I'm an heartless killer disease who summarily slaughters thousands, but McCain, Bush, and the neo-cons?, those guys are fuckn evil"

[currenator]

As long as we have a government full of republicans Americas war on our selves will rage on. It was Bush Sr. that started zero tolerance when the Regan-Bush cocaine importing business got out of control.

Prison populations have tripled,

cops learned that they can treat people any way they want, gangs and dealers are getting rich, and hundreds of thousands of hard working law abiding citizens have had there lives ruined by the governments blind ignorance just because they smoke marijuana.

[nickyjam305]

FUCK DA NIGA

[pavoloco]

What upsets me is when people say "but there are other forms of medicine that are just as effective" but why can't we live with Coke AND Pepsi? What's good for Adam may not benefit Steven.

[silverbackman]

McCain is an old fuddy duddy. Neo-cons are absolutely scared shitless of this plant, I think they fear it more than loosing the war in Iraq.

[silverbackman]

And its pretty obvious why, neo-cons are only concerned with how much profits their corporations make. Cannabis has so many industrial uses that it would bankrupt many corporations.

Oh yeah and also because pot is the coffee of the counter-culture so to speak. Still, these neo-cons call themselves Americans? The old American vision of freedom was about tolerance, the new american freedom is freedom to be a goddamn corporation and make profits at the expense of others.

[birdynumnumz]

MCCain is from the industrial military complex that has taken control of america. Deaths from legal pharma drugs in the USA per annum, more then 750.000. Deaths from marijuana 0!? Marijuana can mitigate many health conditions, that's why big business wants it illegal!! How have we allowed a world like this to become reality? By believing the BS we see everyday and not questioning it.

[BrandonLeclere]

mcacain cant even look him in the eye hes such a dick!

[VanIsleBC]

the only reason he is opposed to medicinal marijuana is that his views are old fashioned. in the face of the overwhelming contradictory evidence, his views will not change because he is too close winded and stupid. vote obama.

[pavoloco]

That may be true, but Obama is corrupt as they come. Ron Paul was the only decent candidate we had.

[VanIsleBC]

when did people decide that he is corrupt?

[HareKrishnaAlex]

OBAMA!

[mchitown]

OWNED!!!!!

FUCK McCAIN

GET SOME OBAMA FO YO MAMA

[puravidavid]

McCain's not a flip flopper, he's a revolving door, who's made the most out of being an admiral's grandson and being tortured five years in Viet Nam, then Washington D.C. forever after.

[puravidavid]

The straight-talker hardly appologized for allowing taxpayers to give hundreds of billions to the likes of the owners of Lincoln Savings. McCain helped cause the S&L crisis of the '80s through and his notorious involvement as one of five senators corrupted with contributions and subsequently lobbying on behalf of the thieving criminal, Charles Keating. NOW he wants contribution limits.

[puravidavid]

He's a wealthy Republican (8 homes and a net worth of over $100 million) and he apparently knows little about macro economics, but he sure knows a great business deal when he sees one.

[puravidavid]

McCain will continue arrests and imprisonment of growers, caregiving distributors and users because tens of billions of dollars are taken from taxpayers and given to prosecutors, judges, prison corporations and politicians.

[einsteinian]

I get the pleasure of watching my father waste away from the inability to eat or keep whats eaten down. he is 6 foot 4 inches and 130 pounds. A walking stick figure. He said if marijuana was legal he would try it to see if it eases his pain. But because its not he doesnt. mccain blatantly says he wouldnt arrest that man but he would arrest his supplier. Well where the fuck would he get it from then? The fact is he wouldnt arrest him, the officer following policy would. Think son think!

[prepstarr25]

marijuana is not legal in the united states on the fact that it is carcinogenic. People that do not have a regulated and licensed business of any kind should be cracked down upon whether it was marihuana or just tomatoes. He is willing to look at things on a case by case basis .

[einsteinian]

YOU DUMBFUCKING mindless drone piece of shit.

Cigarettes are carcinogenic, they are legal.

You argument holds no water.

.

Furthermore who the fuck are you to say when and where people can grow "just tomatoes" Ill have you know thats food, some things just do not need to be regulated. My local mom and pop farmer who sold the most amazing organic food was stopped by your REGULATIONS. They went out of business and were unable to even care for themselves financially, and why? Stupid Laws.

[einsteinian]

Marijuana is not legal for ONE REASON ALONE. It is their number one REVENUE SUPPLIER. Without the covert drug money they wouldnt know what to do with themselves. Regardless of all that and all the good citizens who would never harm anyone that are throw away and taken away from their homes.

..

..

PLEASE REFUTE MY NEXT SENTENCE I KNOW YOU CANNOT BECAUSE IT WOULD GO AGAINST COMMON SENSE.

..

..

NO LAW SHOULD EVER CAUSE MORE HARM THAN THE THING IT REGULATES.

[einsteinian]

Lastly I would like to note something you may not know..........................­............

THE "CARCINOGENIC" EFFECTS CAN BE COMPLETELY REMOVED BY INGESTING HEMP OIL INSTEAD OF SMOKING IT. HEMP OIL HAS BEEN USED FOR EVERYTHING FROM SEVERE WOUNDS TO SKIN INFECTIONS TO MOUTH INFECTIONS TO CANCER ITSELF FOR OVER 10,000 YEARS. IT WAS ONLY REGULATED IN THE LAST 100.

I HAVE A POLICE ISSUED BOOK THAT REFUTES ITSELF ON TWO OPPOSING PAGES.

[einsteinian]

ON ONE PAGE IT SAYS, MARIJUANA IS A SCHEDULE I, IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS THE WORST DRUGS. SCHEDULE V OR 5 BEING THE LEAST. AND I QUOTE FROM SCHEDULE I:

"HAS NO ACCEPTABLE MEDICAL TREATMENT USE IN THE US."

TWO PAGES BACK IT SAY IN THE DESCRIPTION OF CANNIBIS AND I QUOTE:

"MARIJUANA"

"MEDICAL USES: .....CHRONIC PAIN TREATMENT FOR SERIOUS ILLNESSES SUCH AS AIDS, CANCER, EPILEPSY, MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. LEGAL TO GROW/USE WITH A PRESCRIPTION IN ALASKA, CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, HAWAII, MAINE, continued..

[einsteinian]

----, MARYLAND, MONTANA, NEVADA, OREGON, VERMONT, AND WASHINGTON." "OTHER STATES HAVE LAWS THAT SUPPORT MEDICAL MARIJUANA, BUT NO LEGAL PATIENT PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW."

I find it disgusting that a police manual would contradict itself within 2 pages. It becomes painfully obvious that those who oppose legalizing marijuana have never actually looked into the reality of the situation. For mccain to turn a blind eye to that poor kid sickens me. I suppose he should grow his own since he cant!!

[Mofo3210]

He said that there are drugs that are more effective against pains, what are those? Morphine? As long as marijuana does the job it's far cheaper and far less damaging that heavy drugs for sure. The only problem though, is that the goverment is not able to charge horrific prizes for marijuana, as is the case with prescribed drugs. Thus it will sadfully be prohibited.

[ignoranceisbliss4u]

he shook his head in disgust of Mccains answer as im sure most logical people did

[einsteinian]

I did, and I swear I had to blink to keep from tearing up.

[nectarineblue]

McCain is scum... He can rot in hell..

A man against the sick,the opressed and dying, a man that wants war forever..

[littleman0220]

Watch other McCain marijuana policy videos, he only states he will be 'happy' to 'look into it further' ignorant FUCK.

[libertariananarchist]

BACK TO HANOI MCNAZI

[betterbetta]

In January 2008, the American College of Physicians (ACP), representing over 124,000

members — released a landmark position paper calling for legal protection for medical marijuana. Entitled "Supporting Research into the Therapeutic Role of Marijuana,"

the paper cites extensive evidence for the clinical safety and efficacy marijuana and its active

components, called cannabinoids.

[Racer1968]

McCruel, you are one ignorant, uncaring war mongering S.O.B.!

I'm not saying Cannabis is completely benign or for children (unless authorized by a doctor) but if it wasn't a relatively safe and effective medication do you think The American College of Physicians, 124,000 strong, would release a position paper endorsing medical marijuana in Feb 08.

To see the paper Google > American College of Physicians Marijuana.

[Nicholai420]

I hope McCain gets AIDS and cancer.

[WillDOC2cb]

His answer fucking BS, and don't answer shit.

Why? Because at the evd he say "I will countein to arrest people that grow and sell it" So the fuck can you get it if you are sick?

[ZOGOVP]

Please take the time to do a search.

The nation's largest organization of doctors of internal medicine, the American College of Physicians has issued a 13-page paper calling on the government to remove marijuana from the Schedule I classification which declares the herb to have no medicinal value.

The ACP position paper urges the use of non-smoked forms of cannabis as well as further research to identify the illnesses best treated with cannabis and the proper dosages for specific conditions.

[JJCarbon]

Well, his answer was better than alot of the others. He doesn't support it, he gives a brief reason why, and says he will continue to uphold the current law, but he also (says) he will also address the issue and also this guys particular case. Not sure I agree with him on this, but not a bad answer, actually.

[nakedwaterskier]

Hey old man! Listen up!I will vote against the ice queen with no soul!WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A leading U.S. doctors group has endorsed using marijuana for medical purposes, urging the government to roll back a prohibition on using it to treat patients and supporting studies into its medical applications.

[ShadowChimp1]

Stupid F***** nerdy ass hippie stoner.. shut up and quit whining!

[ReverendNovember]

I'm a stupid nerdy ass hippie stoner but I bet I'd make your puss ass whine with pain that makes his feel like euphoria. May you contract a terminal illness that engenders you with compassion.

[JesusHChristofLDS]

McCain's wife, Cindy, is the Hensley in Hensley, the nation's third-largest Anheuser-Busch distributor. Google Mccain and beer. The pharmaceutical companies and liquor industry are marijuanas competition.

[jesushchristlds]

And his state of Arizona, where I live, voted for a proposition that would give doctors the ability to prescribe ANY DRUG medicinally,not just marijuana. The legislature tried to change it with the assumption that the voters didn't know what they were voting for. Then we fought to make sure that voter passed props could not be touched after the People Have Spoken.Check out how well Prop 203 did in AZ in 2002. He doesn't represent his own state's wishes or the majority of Americans.

[thepunisher1783]

ok honestly. McCain dosent't deserve to die. OMG NVM I JUST POSTED ON THE SAME TOPIC FOR ROMNEY NAD GIULIANI.

[arkivx1]

Ironic he will give criminal illegal aliens amnesty, but he won't let sick people have medicine, I guess if the Cannibus lobby had donated as much to him as big pharma, the insurance industry, and the documentation is overwhelmingly positive to the effects of cannibus as compared to FDA approved drugs. How many people die every year from FDA approved drugs? How many die from cannibus? how many from alcohol? hypocrite, shame on you Juan McLame.

[bosox2846]

go red sox

[zasabiibasaz]

mccain deserves to die

[y2knoproblem]

maybe he will get hooked on meth (Desoxyn)

[wulfone]

Voting for Ron Paul is something we could do that would impact this debate for good.

[Mwuhahahahamwu]

Disgusting.

[Napstrpsx]

That wasn't as bad as Rudy or Mitt's response, I think he's either misinformed or currently ignorant and I think his response was actually sincere. I try to like McCain even though I don't really support him because I actually believe that he has an interest in trying to improve this country.

[JoanieDriftwood]

I used to think so.. but have you seen some of the things he's said and the way he's voted these last 8 years? Makes me think he's gone off the deep end...

[xplosionsauce24]

I have to agree on that one. McCain suffered hardcore as a POW and I'm glad he responded respectfully this time unlike the other time in this clip: watch?v=rAlH1oZ0NfU. Ron Paul responded to the same person on the wheelchair with respect and honesty: watch?v=JHS_y94H1Dk. Ron would legalize marijuana because he has experience as a physician. If McCain however is nominated for president in November, we need to give him more proof and end prohibition once and for all.

LEGALIZE IT!

[s3eker]

Have you noticed that everytime he talks to once of these people he always turns his back and walks away? John McCain has very overt body language across the board when he speaks.

[MikeCANN]

So you won't raid him but you won't let him grow his own medicine but want to send him to illegal drug dealers to spend all his money for his medicine? Senator McCain do you even think about the crap that you are pushing? You can't have it both ways. People are being arrested. I was and convicted with a record for life and yes I am in chronic pain that never ever goes away unless I use marijuana which does me no harm.

[chellamia]

Prison planet, prison planet...We live in a prison planet...Big business to warehouse little pot smokers, druggies, for the sake of profit...Watch 30 Days show on FX about revolving door of prison in this country...Sham, They are NOT interested in reform...Talk to Dennis Kucinich...only candidate that might listen... But can he do? Not if we don't support him.

[MikeCANN]

Ron Paul 2008. He's got a much better shot than Kucinich.

[ClaytonHolton]

hahaha nice

[MayonR]

Dang I hope the last commenter will never be installed as dictator. If we're winning the war on drugs how come I see them all around? Decriminalizing non-violent crimes such as this is a great alternative to building another prison. Besides this is a public health issue not a criminal one.

[copcorona]

That kids was high on weed. The CIA should have tazered him. That kid could have jumped out of his wheelchair and attacked a presidential candidate. Tazer him now Crucify pot smokers kill them all kill their families kill anyone who is not white, and rich. the police state is here and now get use to it.
