Finally a truly educated former govenor telling it as it is! Legalize it!

[ic300x]

those that support illegalization

live in fear and denial of that fear

[RedroomStudios]

Jesse is the man! keep speaking out Governor!

@isaiahblack Right! I was just thinking the exact same thing after watching this interview. I was thinking how great it would be to have Ron Paul as President and Jesse Ventura VP, and then I scrolled down and read your comment,

[isaiahblack]

I"m a Canadian but from the outside looking in if I may make a couple suggestions for your next president: Ron Paul and Jesse Ventura

@ajf5291 wrong wrong wrong- marijuana use can be determined within hours - most cops will tell you the smell is enough to convict in most cases to make an arrest if the person is showing signs of impairment! - driving while high usually makes a person more alert and cautious hence the very rare drving while high accidents reported by the DEA and police studies- your "facts" are completely baseless!

AJF5291,

You're embarassingly unresearched.

#1- Police DO have field sobriety tests for pot that easily distinguish use within hours from use within a more distant time period. It also can tell a cop to what degree it is effecting motor response (just as a hand-to-nose test can with alchohol). I was a cop for 7 years.

#2- Even if legal, a private company is free to drug test, thereby ridding your 2nd concern.

#3- Why isn't paint thinner illegal? Nitrous? Glue? Etc? Think dammit.

[ajf5291]

I personally believe pot is disgusting, but I don't make decisions for others' lifestyles. However, marijuana causes a "high" in which a person is physically impaired. Alcohol does the same, but there are methods to determine the amount consumed. Since there is no test to monitor how "high" a person is, pot should remain illegal, or people will be careless about usage when driving or performing in the workplace.

@hunclemike . I said that if you make a living selling dope(weed) and they legalize it, where do you turn? Jessie "The Body" Ventura said it himself @ 1:48. I think that these dealers will try to sell harder things, whether people buy them or not is another issue. I'm all for legalization and enjoy some fine, organically grown buds afterwork everyday, but never use hard drugs. We may be the exception to the rule. I guess we'll see who's right if it is legalized for recreational use, huh?

[dangt06]

@hunclemike Yes when it's legalized I'm going to go buy some heroin and shoot it in my vein. Use your brain dude how would the legalization of weed increase the demand of heroin?

[hunclemike]

If they legalize weed the dealers will start selling more blow and herion.....hey, one more good reason to legalize it.
