FACT = Alcohol causes way more violence than marijuana.

[Zuluhn]

Oh yeah, when violence breaks out, blame the stores selling the most sedative and calming product that is'nt even human made. Good job america! Blame marijuana for violence! Im against thumbs up responses but for this one i dont mind. Thumbs up if you have NEVER seen anyone get violent in any way what so ever, from smoking marijuana.

Things like that happen often in la they can't blame weed for it just another excuse the dea used to close down dispensaries

00:28 she said "violence" and CC spelled "islands" haha.yee

[TheElwood1998]

alcohol meth and prescription drugs cause violence remember when kids brought bongs to school now its guns this isnt from weed 

[Hogs472sssj]

Weeds the best thing period. People need to try it at least one time before they judge if bad or good. Plus dont be afraid of your first time it not going to make u crazy. Youll get hungry, fall asleep, and feel relaxed.for the first timers just take 2 small hits and stop.ull be fine.

[AWSxNABBS]

[seanmichael93]

wtf is with the random subtitles saying half the shit wrong?

[DeesNuggs710]

Why is it ridiculous to have more dispensaries then McDonalds??? Cannabis has never directly hurt anyone! The debate has been over for a long time. McDonalds on the other hand is legally forced to tell you how crappy their "food" is for you!!! Why is McDonalds an accepted form of addiction and abuse and cannabis is still not an accepted medicine?

[BitfeNicks]

Yea? And liquor store clerks get robbed, shot, and killed, every day. Are we going to ban liquor stores? Are we going to ban convenience stores? Any place that criminals know have cash, is likely to get robbed at some point. Why oh why are people so retarded?
