Marijuana is not a drug. To be consider a drug, a subtance must meet the criteria. Drug = a substance that is created and altered by various processes. From seed to consumption, Marijuana goes through not one process. Therefore it is not a drug. It is a herb.
YES ON 19!
History teaches us that prohibition causes more crimes then it is worth!! Its my civil rights to ingest Cannabis.. Fuck your Federal LAW!!!!
@undergroundbasement DAMN RIGHT MAN!! Finally sense is spoken.
I’m Sick Of People Saying That Marijuana’s A “Gateway Drug”, That “People Start Off With That”.Well Duh, Ya ThinK?Do You Think It Has Anything To Do With The Fact That Marijuana Would Seem To Be A Logical Choice To Start Off, Considering The Fact That It’s No More Harmful Than Alcohol??????
If I’m Gunna Start Using Drugs,I’m Not Gunna Start With Cocaine,Cristal Meth,Heroin,LSD,And Even Tylenol.All Of These Drugs Can Kill You;Marijuana Can’t.
There is a sure way to end the Federal Govt.’s reach into destroying the lives of the masses,every State has the right to invoke their 10th amendment,its in the Constitution,any State could say ENOUGH and severe all ties with the Feds and breakaway from the Union,all it would take is for ONE State to do this and more would fall in line,the Feds won’t ever let up,and they are only gonna get worse,forget about voting in the same old Demos and Repubs in Washington. Fight for the 10th amendment!
what happened to civil liberties??? i laugh at people who think obama is turning this into a “socialist” state. that would be an upgrade over the facism we experience now.
*news flash*
we’ve been living in a facist state for awhile now. wake up. get out and try and make a change. even if you think your vote doesn’t matter. for once, do something unselfish.
Yes on 19
“I have no doubt that the feds will file suit if Proposition 19 passes,” said Dale Gieringer, California director for the pro-legalization National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Laws.
Yes On Prop. 19
Change the federal law. Obama has turned into a whore for government interests, like all of his predecessors.
In Houston, during the 1990’s, the director of the DEA named Marion, hit and killed a man while driving under the influence of alcohol. Many DEA agents have significant problems with alcohol dependency. Alcohol is a physically addicting drug. By the way, this DEA agent looks like John Denver in old age.
The DEA continues with the National Party Line. When the argument does not go in their favor, they pull out the safety of children as a lame argument. DEA jobs are at risk with legalization. The Gateway Drug phenomenon is also a weak argument with little supporting evidence, particularly regarding necessary or sufficient conditions being met to support transition to harder drugs. Next, they will say it is immoral. Reefer madness? Bring back the Hollyweed sign.
The economic aspect is not merely about tax revenues for governments, local and up, its about the jobs that will be created when the industry, currently underground, is brought up into the light of day where it belongs. Think of all the potential ways to use cannabis that we prevent ourselves from taking advantage of because of these stupid, stupid laws.
I also think it would be a good thing if ganja use went up, relative to alcohol and in general. Herb is the healing of the nation!
@anwar296 monies is a proper term in some situations. look it up.
“The objective would be to raise tax monies” = lol @ “monies”, stupid hick can’t even speak.
The fundamental question is “Do you want Marijuana use to go up?”
Answer, if it is reducing the usage of alcohol and saving some of the 50,000 innocent people killed by drunks each year, then Yes ASA I want marijuana usage to go up!
he says history shows us that legalisation makes consumption go up…, history shows us that prohabition makes consumption go up and following up prohabition it slows back down, these people are ignorant idiots.
!!!!!!!!!!Federal Law!!!!!!!!!!
look at rthis asshole with his pen when people talk to him
Welcome to the united states of dictators
Its federal law its federal law wait uh isnt this country sopposed to be about the people
Asa Hutchinson is a liar. He takes zero factual positions, and puts forth absolute fiction stated as facts. He can’t even look at the actual data and make a correct statement.
And, he is a former DEA Administrator. . . imagine that.
@rtkuma
The U.S. should not make nature illegal or engage in a long train of abuses against human nature.
Human nature in the state of nature cultivates the land in the pursuit of interests and aspirations.
The U.S. should not make nature illegal or engage in a long train of abuses against human nature.
The Federal Gov. and the FDA needs to make Marijuana a legal choice.
The pharmaceutical industry has created the worst drugs available and legal to use.
Why do they always pick the people who have non of there thoughts in line and just stammer threw there comments to have there voice heard on these kind of shows?
