Sure. Also lets BAN gmos
Unfortunately it is not actually going to happen under Trump. He has already shown he is a puppet and considering repealing legalization in states that have it now.
What about a dissenting POV? There's a couple of items people need to consider and the lessons learned in CO and WA state need to be heard and possibly mitigated. Inform everyone to have the most intellectually honest conversation possible.
I wanted to send an email to the White House website. There are many sincere regulations that we should employ that are not possible to regulate since Cannabis is banned by the Federal government.
I am an enthusiastic supporter of legislation. In CA, I got my butt to the polls to vote for legalizing recreational Cannabis and voted for a the other issues and well you know. I think that if we could give the reasons for why continuing the detrimental federal laws are harmful. Not to just to we who enjoy it. There are environmental issues enabled criminal organizations and meanwhile truly legitimate agricultural businesses who are eager to be vetted.
I didn't know Trump had a personal trauma with an alcoholic father and doesn't drink himself. So I understand that he has a personal reaction to even mild substances in general. But I think he would be open to the practical reasons for why the Federal current policy is harming more Americans than legally permitting legal use.
I have a lot more to say, but I will spare everyone. Unless you ask. Then I am happy to go into all of this!
sweet Jesus, you're so predictable Reason. weed must make ppl boring fucks for you to endlessly bang on about this. so many genuine issues to deal with and you're stuck on this hippie shit
No wonder pot policy is moving slow. Jeffrey is on his game, but the rest of the panel is not to bright.
sad that the FED'S still try to block testing and keep lying about #efficacy
NIDA has done testing that proves efficacy
after years of trying to show harm they came up with nothing and the positive results are not published A quote from the
"scientist" documentary on cannabis , Isreal
published testing on cannabis
"no one listened"
1970's till
2017 still fighting
DEA QUITLYING
#endprohibition of #phytocannabinoids
why hasnt marijuana legalization caused minority arrests to go down yet? and what about expungement of previous records?
Prop 215 still matters.
FUCK Trump and FUCK Sessions
Taxation is theft. Licenses are BS. Prop 64 is a massive compromise.
Legalize pot then tax it and get U.S.A out debt. The debt is only 19.8 trillion now and growing.
It does help with chronic pain, my mom uses only CBD based products and it helps her deal with it. No THC at all in her system.
Very good video. I am glad I watched all of it.
Why hasn't anyone filed a lawsuit against the gov't for scheduling cannabis schedule 1 while at the same time having a medical patent on it? Or because it was prohibited initially based on racism lies and corporate fascism? People NEED to learn the truth.

Reasoning with drug addicts is just counterproductive.
I want pot to be legalized just so I don't have to hear libertarians and hippies fucking whining about it ad infinitum anymore.
Ummm, I am going to have to act like a democrat and like one of their rioters,…….meaning I will only listen to one side and anyone who disagrees with me needs to be shut down,….so everyone here who is for marijuana, like I once was before I noticed alot of rioting democrats are these days is a criminal and must stop using this "dangerous drug",….and ummmmm, I might have to report any pot smoking democrat I see posting to the trump administration for future arrest!…..Haha, wow, that feels good just saying it, but I am unsure if I believe in that statement, so I have to say that if democrats weren't so one sided that the trump administration,….republicans, wouldn't be going after people who smoke pot, who are generally democrats,….same as how democrats always go after gun owners who are generally republicans.
"Us and them", advocacy for ending the drug war, and opponents to liberalization. Within that conjunction – and – are the American people and our state and federal justice systems. The majority, the cornerstone of our democracy, is clearly in favor of ending the war on drugs, legalizationng and decriminalization. In the minority, a number of citizens who don't care either way, and those opposed to liberalization or wish to apply limits and controls to liberalization.
So using the majority rule, the people have spoken. Yet, our representative democracy (the process) betrays us. Why?
In the case for critical thinking – or an examination of the facts against the illumination of the intellectual argument from those opposed.
A sampling of facts, including the effects given the history of marijuana use in the USA and Canada from the 1960s to present indicates no adverse effects defending its illegality. Given this history, the legality of tobacco products, alcohol, and certain food additives and substances, with there statistical evidence of death and destruction, makes no sense against the illegality of marijuana use.
Secondly, we look at our nation's leaders for governance, oversight, our protection. Most importantly the nation counts on their wisdom. Yet we heard the attorney tell the senate, the house, the courts, the justice system including the federal and national law enforcement, the state and local law enforcement, and finally the people, that marijuana is as or more dangerous than heroin.
We the people, and our Government are either regarded as dupes, and/or the AG is a dupe. It is a binary. If the AG is not a dupe, then what is he in the face of such a ludicrous statement, made under the most auspicious of occasions?
Where then do the people stand? How goes this Union? How can we the people expect our representative democratic process to debate, adjudicate and end the drug war, when the lending law enforcement and justice official makes such a ridiculous and readily recognized silly statement?
So using the critical thought method, logic has spoken.
Although there are many other parts of a necessary quod libetal argument to inform, discuss, decide an make the law the law of the land the end or not of the drug war we point to the cost of the war. The cost of the war can be measured with, but not limited to the following:
The lack of research into to efficacy of cannabinoids in pharmacology
Mass incarceration, before, during and most importantly, after
The genesis, promulgation and proliferation of organized, and unaffiliated violent crime
The damage from use and abuse of alcohol and other dangerous drugs ans substances
The incrimination and recrimination of use in employment and other placements (e.g. immigration)
Internationally projected loss and adverse effects to persons, property, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
I am sad that I will, at 60 years old, be dead and gone by the days to come where people won't even remember the drug war. My sadness is not from my abstinence, for I feel the costs to me are far too high, and I would be irresponsible to my family and employer and customers to get high from pot. I am sad because I wanted to think that by now, since the 1960s, far wiser leaders, and far more fluid a representative process, free of ignorance, lethargy, bureaucratic drag, and, although I can not prove it, corruption.
How goes the union? It goes by its weakest links. I apologize for your time on a Saturday and wish you all well.
Make it legal in Mississippi
Not to be "that guy," but this is why the Libertarian Party isn't going anywhere and most libertarian-leaning Republicans want nothing to do with the label. For too many voters, "Libertarian" = "Marijuana."
I've smoked pot daily since 1970. My chess game is better now than ever. I have known people who appeared to decrease in IQ due to consumption. I think it is a case of desire. There are those who bury their head in the sand, ignore the state of affairs in the world, in short, wanting to dumb down their existence. Any substance works for those kinds of people.
bring it on trump. we have 57% of the public on our side.
I hope the Government comes to its senses in regards to the War on drugs. Its been a complete waste of our time and treasure. The only real accomplishment has been the increase in the Federal governments power and rampant crime. I say decriminalize all drugs and switch to a system that holds individuals accountable for their actions. If you want to smoke dope…. I could care less. But if you commit a crimes while under the influence or fail in your responsibilities as an adult. My punishments would be heavy.
Did you know that before the Volstad act. The FBI did not even have the power to make arrests? They had to go through the State police. I would certainly support a return to that arrangement. Way too much federal power around here and it can all be traced directly to the War on drugs and Alcohol prohibition. They were not needed until they started telling people what they could not do.
The two-tier (medical/recreational) laws screw everything up. They make it difficult to get access to high-cbd/low-thc products without registering as a patient. There is no logical reason for this issue, going forward.
This seemed to be more focused on California than I expected.
you forgot Georgia-medical
Sessions is a more stupid version of Forest Gump! this is NOT the 1950s. it's time to legalize it nationwide!
I noticed something that's not talked about let me tell my story I broke my leg was in the hospital bed for 5 days they pumped alot of pain meds into me vea iv and after I got out and went home the doc gave me pain meds very strong meds I only took them when i couldn't bair the pain mostly at night when I tryed to sleep I take it then only then when i healed I didn't want it at all when they took the screw out my leg holding the bone in place they wanted give me more I told them no I don't want it so why not talk about the people that are like me as well things should be talked about in hole not just half of it
When Canada Legalizes Marijuana, The U.S. gov will have no choice.
Smoke some of the weed from Chernobyl and blow your fckn head open.
END THE DRUG WAR – famous quotes:
“…marijuana [in its natural form] is one of the safest, therapeutically
active substances known to man.”
–Francis Young (DEA’s own Judge)
"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use…”
– Jimmy Carter (U.S.President)
“Congress should definitely consider decriminalizing possession of marijuana… We should concentrate on prosecuting the rapists and burglars who are a menace to society.”
-Dan Quayle U.S. Representative & Vice president
"The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world."
– Dr. Carl Sagan
"Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could."
“The anti-marijuana campaign is a cancerous tissue of lies, undermining law enforcement, aggravating the drug problem, depriving the sick of needed help and suckering well intentioned conservatives and countless frightened parents.”
– William F. Buckley Jr.
“You bet I did -— and I enjoyed it.” (when asked if he had ever smoked marijuana)
– Michael Bloomberg – New York City Mayor
The republican platform of 2017 says ATTACK CANNABIS AND PUT THE USERS IN JAIL.. Thanks for voting for trump.'
the conservatives want to keep marijuana illegal out of spite.. same issue with climate change.. CALI!
legalize it. Don't legalize it. cannabis users out number the Jeff session s of the world.they can't stop us all
I love weed………….
what about hemp? the benefits of hemp are vast and theres the selling point of it cant get you high.
Session's willful ignorance will work hand in hand with the fascist pigs (monsanto-big pharma) who want to privatize marijuana.
Trump is for MMJ so is he aware of the schedule 1 discrepancy? Maybe someone should enlighten him. Jobs and revenue Trump, take it out of schedule. Free the weed, stop the hypocrisy.
opinion on them griping about public safety issues—- "Oh my god, how dare that person say they believe in satan in public!!!"
(person being pointed at) "I'm smoking cannabis in my pipe, what is your problem?"
