EmptyFriendsays...i love the logic the guy is using.
so he mentions 2 drugs coming out with THC in them. we all know THC is in marijuana. so if marijuana (with THC) has no medicinal value, why are drug companies making the drugs? why would a doctor prescribe a drug with (as he claims) no medicinal value?
if you can't see that this is clearly big pharma trying to control the sale of marijuana you're an idiot. this guy should be ashamed.
i say this as someone with no interest in pot.

GeeSussFreeKsays...WTF, potent marijuana? WTH does that even mean? It isn't a fucken chemical, its a fucken plant, idiot.

It means the Ratio of Psychoactive components to plant matter are higher now than they where fifty years ago, which is very much true for a lot of strains. This has been done by breeders through different methods combining different strains and only using the ones that held the result you where looking for.
The potency argument is idiotic because you do not smoke cannabis until you cannot function you smoke it to get the desired effect on the body and stop. So what this means is that your Cannabis will last longer and you inherently smoke less at a time because you are getting a bigger bang for your buck. Smoke the same amount of Mexican ditch weed and a higher potent "sour diesel" strain or the like, and you may "green out " ( as some people who smoke too much puke/get sick) but you will not die.
On the other hand, drink 355 ml of grain alcohol in one shot, as compared to a 355 ml beer and you could die of alcohol poisoning. The potency angle is just completely fallible.
Or where you being facetious ?
Edit- Tobacco leaf is just a plant as well but you can die from handling that with just your bare hands, as well Cannabis' main ingredients are chemicals, just as Nicotine is and pretty well everything else thats mind altering. Just because its a plant does not mean the chemicals it produces can not harm you.
MaxWildersays...Let me see if I can understand Chabot's argument:
"Marijuana is hazardous to your health, so we should route all the profits to massive criminal organizations, and spend tax money fighting those criminal organizations, all while innocent people get killed in the crossfire."
Is that about right?
Or we could do the sensible thing: legalize, regulate, educate, rehabilitate. If we did this for all drugs, those deadly gang wars would end overnight. And addicts could seek treatment without the fear of imprisonment.
PROHIBITION DOES NOT WORK!
budzossays...Fuck this guy (the suit). "Two wrongs don't make a right" my fucking ass. Like Tommy Chong said "where is the wrong here?"
kymbossays..."Go get your paycheque".
Great last line.
tsquire1says...What a fucking tool. Marijuana addiction? addiction?
Y'all know that SB1070 was written by Corrections Corporation of America, right? Y'all know why? Because undocumented people are seen as a source of profit ($200 per bed, per night). Same thing goes for the 'war on drugs'. Its a way for the capitalist scum to profit off our misery.
Fuck 'em

So the brain can't become addicted to the chemical reactions it receives from THC? Is that what you're saying? Why is it so far-fetched to you that marijuana is very much an addictive substance? It may not be as addictive as some other things such as methamphetamines but it most certainly is addictive. ANYTHING can be addictive if the brain sees a reward from it. Gaming, extreme sports, drugs, alcohol, even reading can be addictive. Weed IS addictive and denying that fact is only keeping yourself in the dark.
Of COURSE people make money off of it. What don't people try to capitalize on? That doesn't make it any less true that it's an affliction for many people.
ForgedRealitysays...Tommy's inability to let the other guy speak doesn't really strengthen his position at all. The other guy shut up for him, but Chong can't get his emotional outburst under control. He NEEDS marijuana. It made him what he is today.
He's a fucking hypocrite too, calling the suit out on the fact that he's making money doing whatever it is he does. TOMMY: YOU GOT RICH OFF IT TOO. You would be NO ONE without your addiction. Just another washed up, unmotivated pothead. Time to let the smoke clear long enough to look in the mirror, buddy.
