MSNBC host Cenk Uygur explains how the National Cancer Institute has recognized several possible medical benefits from marijuana use. This could lead to having marijuana reclassified from a Schedule 1 drug down to a Schedule III drug in which case the government could not crack down on medical marijuana shops.

who would dislike this?

@ChristianMission THEY didn't reverse their decision, they were forced to re-write that section and there is an article (probably a few) that expalin EXACTLY what happened, you obviously haven't read them because everything you're saying in false, uninformed, and based on personal opinion which counts for nothing against proven scientific fact.

[stillfightin98]

who ever disliked this video obviously has been told that marijuana is bad for you. Considering its not .. and it has medicinal benifits, there is no reason to arrest or to throw people in jail for the use of this substance. Besides alchohol is sooooo much worse for you and so is tabacco, and those two substances are legal... There is way too much government, the government should not have control of what we consume.. This is so messed up, its disgusting...

@thereinliestherib 50,000 dead Mexicans due to the war on drugs. Not Marijuana itself. It doesn't take a genius to realize prohibition creates a crime which creates powerful cartels, gangs and violence.

[thereinliestherib]

@youngatnaruto Its complete propaganda. The media constantly reports about how legalization will cause unicorns to fly out of my butt, but they never offer any evidence to back up their legalization claims. It's ridiculous. And yes--I've smoked, and nearly everyone I know smokes/deals. That makes me a huge a-hole for my position, but its based on REALITY. Out of curiosity, how old are you?

[youngatnaruto]

@thereinliestherib all im talking about is this ant i marijuana propaganda

and have you ever treid weed

[thereinliestherib]

@youngatnaruto You're acknowledging the faults of alcohol, tobacco, etc., which by implication means the same apply to pot. The fact that there are always greater evils hardly validates some behavior. Its not okay to murder just because serial murder is worse. All I'm getting at is the absurd propaganda which says that pot smoking occurs in some social or economic vacuum, which it clearly doesn't.

[youngatnaruto]

@thereinliestherib im a crazy jackass for what reasons

marijuana cant kill...mean while alchol,cigarettes,tobacoo

contribute to thousands of death per year matter fact more people die each year from drinking caffeine...than any one has from marijuana..and thats a fact

[thereinliestherib]

@youngatnaruto And are you an economist? Do you own a business? Do you have any credible evidence to support your claim, or are you just another crazy jackass?

[youngatnaruto]

@thereinliestherib legalizing marijuana would put the mexican drug cartels out of business..and the most dangerous thing about marijuana is getting aressted for it

[thereinliestherib]

@youngatnaruto 50,000 dead Mexicans would probably disagree.
