So is this guy also working towards criminalizing beer?
no, he isn't tee hee hee tee hee hee tee hee hee mature man here tee hee hee
@@virgobro2025 not a man
thank you for posting this video, now I have several argumentative fallacy examples for my philosophy final!
Lmaooooooo same
Our state DA is guilty of bad logic on the topic as well.
"No one kills over a Coors light, but how many have killed over weed?"
@@garyrolen8764it’s because it has to be sold illegally, that’s dangerous, it’s dangerous to buy anything that isn’t regulated, that’s why your supposed to take a friend when your selling something online
LOL
More car crashes literally such a cap statistic
why would he say it then lmao he has a brand to protect as the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy advisor
how bout this if u wanna smoke weed smoke weed if u dont want to dont. dont tell people what tgey can and cannot do if its not harming others.
No wonder you're a dropout, you don't know anything.
@@uncertifiedlinguist8396 tbh not far from what it should be. america should be the place for all personal freedoms not criminalization for a drug more harmless than legal ones
Couldn't we have guests without an agenda discuss marijuana?
People with out skin in the game. Researchers who study data instead of people who are actively against it?
TV stations do NOT facilitate DISCUSSION. They are there to bombard people with propaganda. That's why its called *programming*
anyone who is agaisnt weed always have an agenda
@@averageboi5195 wow that’s like saying you can’t have any criticism or counter argument without being labeled
@@sazahmed4225Ok, how about anyone against marijuana either has an agenda or is morbidly misinformed.
@@averageboi5195
you don’t even know how to type, Therefore, your opinion is not valid.
go back to school and get yourself an education before thinking about stuff like this.
I would say that marijuana is way safer than alcohol in terms of how it affects others and yourself physically. Likely if a pothead is violent, they’re either on more drugs or they’re just a violent person. It may not be a substance like alcohol that would cause people to lose control and go crazy and violent. (Especially during blackouts). However, there is still plenty of reason why we should keep it illegalized but alcohol legal as well despite its dangers. Marijuana has its problems mostly in how it badly affects the brain and often hurts relationships not just because it can make people not like you for using it, but also because of the laziness and addiction it causes to so many people. We have seen what happened when we took alcohol away and the problems from it being illegal completely outway the problems of keeping pot illegal. Legalized pot hasn’t really changed anything like what the 21 amendment did revoking the 18th amendment . In the ideal world we would all be sober but it simply isn’t the case for everyone.
It's legal now. You lose!
Intoxicated driving is an issue, no argument there, but it's been an issue since horses where the norm. Also, making marijuana federally legal can help decrease some of the billions of dollars of debt the US is in. Not many people know this but alcohol was prohibited before pot was, and pot was criminalized on selfishness and competition anyway, it was never banned because it was thought to be dangerous. In the 20's it was being prescribed as medicine. I know you could day the same for heroin but because of scientific advancement we know the actual dangers of both drugs, and because of this we can see that marijuana is one of the safest recreational drugs being used. Republicans should be all over legalization because of their pro-business motto. It's good for capitalism, it's good for the government, and it's good for the people who choose to use it. It's a win-win-win all around the board but still people argue about it. People should put bias aside and actually look at things without tunnel vision because that would really solve problems.
I smoke weed and drive everyday
@@bigjay5516
and?
I have been to agree with you. I think a lot of things is a matter of an individuals opinion.
I love the argument "kids who have did dumb decisions like smoke marijuana on 16". That could be applied for anything like "kids who have hold a gun on park lot on 16" and its go on
Except holding a gun in public isn't a crime in most states.
Mr Barbosa I'm 65 and I've been smoking for over 50 years. They say marijuana is in the same level as heroin and cocaine and fentanyl and they say that liquor is okay now those people that stand by that have made a career out of being ignorant and sucking the blood out of the taxpayers because of a lie. Law enforcement allowed kids to sell drugs on the corners of all the cities in America I saw it. Police drove by heroin dealers so they could pull over and arrest somebody for smoking a joint. And that's how they got the name PIGs. Like the movie said saying it's your job doesn't make it right it just makes you a leech a tick a blood sucking pig. I guess by now you know I hate law enforcement for how they've handled marijuana for the past 50 years c**********
@@snakeoflordran9573 and it's pathetic that it's legal to guzzle a bottle of liquor. What liquor has done to individuals and communities is a crime and we should make the people who legalized it and the people who sell it accountable for everything that goes wrong with liquor. And of course law enforcement all the way up to the federal authorities also have to be a held accountable. They have accepted pay to allow this to happen.
@@tuckhorse be mad that your stupid weed isn't legal. Alcohol has been used for millennia and it's the safest drug out there. Alcohol doesn't make you so dumb when you're intoxicated that you think your hands are on backwards and you have to think for like 10 seconds before responding to a sentence. Also it doesn't make your heart rate 160 bpm while laying down. Weed is awful for you.
Did he just try to frame more people getting high where it's legal as bad thing and justification for keeping it illegal? 1:19 baffling
car crashes lolz how many from drunk driving compared weed I have never gone home smoked a joint beat my wife or gf I never come home and smoke a joint and say ok I am gonna rob a bank
and the drug test are dumb for work I get it if your driving a rig or something but when your baked and stock shelves lolz nothing bad will happen
It’s funny that the people who talk
against legalization are the ones who have never tried marijuana(most of the time). I’d value their arguments if they said “ I’ve smoked marijuana..” in the beginning of the statement. Realistically, if they have tried it they would use that in an argument. Giving them a solid foundation for an opinion on marijuana.
Your assumption is that it is harmless. You would not make the same suggestion for poison, would you? So you've already assumed what it is that you are trying to prove.
@@neuronneuron3645 no cause poisons kill you pot is scientifically less harmful than booze
Your argument is ridiculous. So to be able to talk against legalization from ur point of view one would have to have tried the substance? What about legalization of Heroin?
I have tried marijuana and it has destroyed my life,. That's why I am strongly against legalization. Stop pretending it's harmless! Otherwise I would not suffer from severe panic and anxiety disorder. Irreversibly damaged mental health, for the rest of my life.
@@jimx8873 no the standard for prohibiting substances just has to be consistent. Science shows that alcohol is more addictive, has higher rates of causing anti social behaviour, deaths are caused at higher rates due to alcohol. If statistics tell us all these things then what reason is there to be against weed but not alcohol when it’s less detrimental to yourself and society?
Reefer madness is just a movie, the actors were paid
nasty drug
"Even the Obama administration...!" Like that's some sort of far-out, fringe thinking.
Got his facts from watching reefer madness over and over.
nicotine should be banned ...alcohol should be banned
5 years later weed is legal in New Jersey and everything is just the same , if anything it has risen tax revenues and some companies sponsor highways . Glad this judge mental people lost this battle . And are proven wrong consistently about this topic
This guy is a clown
No.....anyone smoking a super addictive drug that contains numerous carcinogens and stinking up the world with their disgusting secondhand smoke might be a better choice for your accusation.
Good ! Normal people are sick of what has become of London England too ! Hes right ! 💯
You don't hear from this idiot anymore.
He's not an expert, he's a prohibitionist who probably gets paid by Rx or the DEA. Total fraud, and I'm not surprised at all that we don't hear from an idiot like him anymore.
Hopefully he dies.
Another state this dude lost to 😂
Oh but kids drinking and vaping is fine but no not weed on corners omg
What if and just an idea make it legal to grow and have just not sell
Keep it illegal !
Okay so they think that just because marijuana is legal that causes traffic fatalities to go up instead of people just taking ownership of their own actions? In the same way you don't drink and drive you shouldn't be smoking and driving? Although I will say due to the high medical grade of marijuana that's being sold doesn't really help either because I've never had an issue with it for old school homegrown commercial.
Why don't they enforse against half senators governors all the FBI
“Recently had it in their system”. So that means the weed caused it?
This aged well...
Be prepared
Whenever a politician says “when you look at …” they are just stalling to make it look like they didn’t go completely r worded and forget what to say
Say it! So true Dr. Sabet.
I am totally against the idea if legalizing marijuana. It should continue to be a crime and those caught should not do time but should be burden with a high fine.
Our upper middle class neighborhoods are now being infested with young males selling marijuana in their home and their customers coming in their loud cars and even though they get caught they are being reased on the next day. No jail time etc. This is a disappointing situation which has many NJ residents considering moving out of NJ
U know why they’re doing that? Because there is a demand for it and because it’s illegal, the black market supplies it. In order to regulate it, u have to legalize it. U r making the arguments that were made during prohibition. Yet, when it was legalized, it became regulated.
Yo how old are you?
Totally true! On top of that the neighborhoods smell horrible now. People should have to pay a huge fine and they will not incentivize them to do it around other people anymore.
@@davihi1028 so your argument against the legalisation of marijuana is that it smells bad?
@@marvel_comics_unwrapped Nope. It’s that the 2nd hand smoke causes allergic reactions in people who don’t want to be around smoke. It’s bad enough that cigs are legal. Just adding this on top pollutes the air even more while harming innocent people and their vulnerable children. On top of that access is much easier for kids.
The only time weed is a gateway drug is if your a dealer. So make it legal and solve the problem like an adult. Weed is a potent stimuli and not a substance. That is alcohol
