Legalize Marijuana debate (part II)



economics.about.com marijuana is safer than alcohol-”Kellogg’s had no problem signing up Phelps when he had a conviction for drunk driving, an illegal act that could actually have killed someone,” said Rob Kampia, executive director [of the Marijuana Policy Project]. “To drop him for choosing to relax with a substance that’s safer than beer is an outrage” *George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both grew hemp. Ben Franklin owned a mill that made hemp paper. Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence on hemp paper. www.cbsnews.com norml.org www.chemicalmuse.com

    @lastmondaypast1 i actualy saw this tested, they had a man drive through cones and then had him smoke a joint or two and drive the same road, he did better after he smoked the weed

  • lastmondaypast1 says:

    if marijuana was illegal, the law would loose a lot of work lol. Thats mainly why its illegal.

  • lastmondaypast1 says:

    being stoned doesnt really impair your driving, im actually a better driver stoned, i take my time, when im sober I wanna get places fast for some reason.

  • troyatempire says:

    I would imagine you would be WAy too PARANIOD…..LOL

  • MisterSymo1 says:

    The practicality of using Hemp as a fiber is no reason to legalize it for recreational use. Oh and the Declaration of Independence was only drafted on Hemp Paper but printed on Parchment.

  • justBAKED42O says:

    HA ! if ur “brother” died from smoking weed then it either means two things:

    1. you are FULL OF SHIT ! (cause its impossible to overdose on weed btw dumbass)

    2. you suffer from schizophrenia and ur “brother” is a fictional character who u believe smoked weed and died.

    goddamn, THERE IS NO ROOM FOR IGNORANT FUCKHEADS ON YOUTUBE ! peace out….. seriously tho, leave.

    You got trolled, fool

    Fucking learn to spot trolls

  • jmaomao says:

    i didnt know cannabis was sold in cigarette packs, if he really did die from it, it would be all over the news as evidence of the dangers of cannabis, which it isnt so BULLSHIT

  • Fuctmentality says:

    ogirv, could you please tell me one illicit behavior cannabis use leads to, other than those directly related to cannabis use, IE possession, & purchase/sale?
    I ask because I have never seen someone engage in behavior unbecoming their character whilst high on pot.
    Also seeing as the laws against it’s use are completely ineffective as a deterrent , how does piling on legal harms in any way help matters?

  • Chudstoned79 says:

    How about no drug’s but if your going to get intoxicated I’d rather be on the road with a stoner than a drunk. marijuana has medical value, alcohol causes medical diseases. Prescription drug’s fucked up my life xanax, vicodin. It’s ok with the government cause the right people got rich. I should have stuck with weed.

  • Thatonedude917 says:

    My brother died from smoking a whole pack of marijuana cigarettes.

  • Thatonedude917 says:

    Who robs or steals on weed? I’ve never heard of that happening.

  • dukeoforegon says:

    No victim no crime.
    Wouldn’t jury nullification work in cases about cannabis possession ?
    It would be a sure pathway to legalization .

  • sejhgos says:

    addicted potheads…? Did you know that pot is not addictive? -.-

  • DaneMcD says:

    Youtube is tired of your stupidity.

  • PhrexianReturns says:

    You cannot be addicted to marijuana. Alcohol kills. Marijuana does not. If you were looking at iti from a, “Rational and medical perspective” you could never make the claim you just did.

    Calling everyone that advocates for the legalization a “pothead” does not help your already poor argument either. I suggest you start looking up the facts instead of spouting your opinions as if they are facts.

  • Clyaton says:

    don’t cut off the religious simply because you are not, this isn’t a religious vs. non religious issue. Same with democrat vs republican, things like that hurt the cause.newayz, religion is another way in which it’s prohibition is unconstitutional, it’s a case for the courts, and that’s a good point. We have christian religions that have smoking pot involved, same as rastafarians. 41% of Americans have tried pot, how many of those were christians, half? What about practicing, 1/5th of 300 mil

  • comethruifidie says:

    ok “future” doctor…you are not only ignorant but now you are an arrogant ass-what a great combination you have…you may have a degree of specific knowledge in one area but that does not make you some academic giant…and your faith in virgin birth and god men make you an intellectual dwarf…you are dishonest and a coward when it comes to facing scientific reality and your christian idea of god-they do not match…fuck your imaginary god and fuck your double standard on marijuana/alcohol

  • ogirv101 says:

    First of alcohol doesn’t do as much harm as marijuana. marijuana kills many region sof your brain, it also causes many illicit behaviors. Drinking on the other hand in small ammounts isn’t bad, and drinking can be controlled.

    You’re an arrogant piece of filth that knows nothing about the effects of cannibus sativa and the horros of Tetrahydrocannibinol so he resorts to ad hominems. You’re an irreligious piece of shit, I laugh at how stupid you are. Stop being a dumbass.

  • comethruifidie says:

    they are not as a bad as marijuana???says your religious dumb ass…alcohol does way more harm…do some research on the deaths caused by alcohol compared to marijuana…you have no ability to think for yourself so you just go with what you are told …just like a religious coward…you are doped up on your religion and that does harm to your ability to think

  • ogirv101 says:

    My religion has nothing to do with it you moron, I’m talking from a rational and medical perspective. marijuana only serves as a medical reason, and even then it isn’t even that great. Alcohol, aduletery, and fast food are aso al bad things but they aren’t as bad as marijuana.

    I know addicted potheads like you would love to have marijuana legal though, but as long as we have a rational constitution of secular reasoning, you won’t get that right you pothead.

  • Bankingcartel says:

    At almost 9 minutes this guy says the Constitution gives us our rights, he is wrong, the Constitution declares our rights, not gives them to us, and I would like to refer this guy to the right to own property, which may consist of marijuana. If you want to keep marijuana illegal, I am sorry sir, you are going to have to start making some Constitutional amendments.

  • ogirv101 says:

    Wow, I can’t believe you used such a great philosopher as Spinoza to support your view on legalization of marijuana, the funny thing is that it completely contradicts what Spinoza said. Marijuana does do harm…

  • ch1z4rl13 says:

    Where are the other parts??

  • yumRICExP says:

    I meant to say misuse and use should be a choice, while ABUSE should be reprimanded. Obviously since misuse and use are your own private matters. Abuse on the other hand is cutting into other people’s rights of life and health.
