The speaker is a liar: medical Hemp/marijuana is dramatically different than regular marijuana. The regular marijuana is much more addictive than wine/beer/whiskey.
There are literally thousands of plants that produce known provable poisons and they choose to spend how much money trying to completely destroy every single cannabis crop they come across which is destroying the ecosystem sometimes but there is poisonous plants everywhere and they don't dedicate money to destroying those crops. These people actually believe they have the right to impose their will on other human being and that if people do not bow to their will then they need to be crushed at any and all costs as harshly as possible to show what happens when you come against the "God Like Authority"
That dude arguing against cannabis looks so shifty, eyes are shifting all over and blink rate is off the charts! I don’t think he even believes what he’s saying.
That old man has no idea what he's talking about he probably still owns a black and white prehistoric box of a tv poor man doesn't know there's color tv let alone 4k graphics
I believe David w. Murray works for Big Pharma. Big Pharma Would Lose $4 Billion Per Year Due to Medical Marijuana. So Yea I see why they don't want it Legalized!!
The devil's advocate is out of touch. Why did the government have to lie about the risks and dangers for 50+ years if they thought it was justified to do what they did? They used purposely biased studies to outlaw it, and alot of the reason was because the old cronies in government saw the new rebellious generation using it, and realized that was the best way to crack down on protestors and blacks and keep them in jail, since protesting isn't illegal. It is law from a dark corrupt time in our country and needs to be done away with. Also the feds will owe the people reperations. They lied and it cost millions of people years of their lives. When if they left it alone, they would have done no harm.
Schedule one is not what cannabis should be classified in it has many medical uses. Kept in white america its just an excuse to keep minorities suppressed. Government is the problem. They have killed may lives and destroyed them allowing trash and dangerous drugs for pain relief nausea and sleep aide. The bloods on their hands and it shows.
luckily the 10th amendment does not allow the federal government to regulate this, because this power is not delegated to the federal government.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Ego, the states have the right to, and are, regulating it in accordance with the United States Constitution.
I’m grown and can’t have a joint at home without potentially losing my job. Great job us government. This is not the land of the free, we are all slaves.
i'd also like to mention that cannabis under its current federal scheduling is being screened for on federal background checks, effectively infringing on the second amendment protected rights of individuals who choose to use cannabis either recreationally or medically, regardless of how it's viewed from state to state. if the constitution means nothing, gov officials should at least be honest about it… they sure find some sneaky ways to violate that shall not be infringed part of the law.
But weed can be used medically! And tobacco products and fully be abused and that shit kills people but it’s legal….. I don’t get why the FEDS taking so long to make weed legal after all the damn evidence about weed like it blows my fucking mind that tobacco and alcohol is legal and they kill you but weed is illegal, is a schedule 1 drug, and it’s illegal🤦♂️ American logic
Marijuana should not be legalized for any reason at all. And we need to bring back prohibition on alcohol while we're at it. A grey boring sober society with no chemical release, everyone should state at themselves completely sober at all times. No questions no exemptions.
Im a yard driver and smoke all day. Im there best driver on the yard, they couldent fire me if they wanted to. Zero accidents zero issues with safety in the 8 years I've been driveing. I've smoked every day a 8th the whole 8 years.
It pisses me off to think about how many lives have been ruined because of the abolition of marijuana. Not only that but the countless people who could have benefitted from its use.
The old gray is under informed and totally biased. If he was crippled with pain from arthritis or any of the numerous conditions that qualify patients in MMJ states he would quickly adopt a drastically different point of view
Q : GOD DID NOT CREATE PILLS. BE WISE TO KNOW WHO DID MY FRIENDS. **CBD IS NOT PSYCHO-ACTIVE** ; created by THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR = VERY GOOD Documented servants of corruption = BIG_PH [F] ARMA ? ARE WE PIGS TO THEIR EYES ?
Q : ALCOHOL HAS MASSIVE MEDICAL BENEFITS BUT IS SUPER DEADLY AND A DEVIL CAN RIDE IT. DON'T SEEK SPIRITUAL THINGS FROM THINGS SEEN MY FRIENDS BUT CALL UPON THE NAME OF JESUS. YOUR HEART IS SAFE WITH JESUS AND WISDOM IS YOURS FOR THE ASKING; BE WISE. AMEN?
The government not only knows of medical benefits for cannibus, they have not one but two patents on medical marijuana substances- one of which is marinol….. This guy is completely ignorant of modern knowledge regarding cannibus and it pissed me off that there are still people that uneducated on the subject making arguments against it!!
Cannibus has the lowest rate of addiction among every other illicit drug there is, including alchohol.
Cannibus has proven time and again to competently suppress epileptic seizures, and is considered to be the only drug to successfully treat PTSD.
The fact that the federal government has even considered to classify cannibus as a schedule 1 is highly suspicious, and creates many questions on the intentions behind such an irrational act.
Whether cannibus is addictive or not (its not) really has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a free adult individual and am capable of deciding for myself what I consume in my own body! I dont need approval for decisions I make. Oh and as far as "how we would control cannibus coming in to the country from canada or mexico" … I imagine that way we control it now!!
5:33 This guy is a throwback from the ‘70s. Worse, he talks about controlling illicit cannabis coming over the border if the federal government de-scheduled it. Now think about that, why in the world would the cartels or smugglers in general smuggle a LEGAL SUBSTANCE? His logic is patently backwards in this case. Nowhere in his talking points is the idea of constitutionality or not. He is all about respecting the regulations and international treaties from the 60s with the UN but the U.S. Constitution? Nope. He is a regulator of the highest order.
Legal in Canada and Mexico

this is a waste of my time
De – Schedule. Decriminalize.
Legalize. Home Grow.
Reasonable Taxation & Price.
No medical use … read a f*cking history book -the main reason people used cannabis throughout human history is in medicine and for a reason!
That dude arguing against cannabis looks so shifty, eyes are shifting all over and blink rate is off the charts! I don’t think he even believes what he’s saying.

If it were de scheduled and allowed to grow free, why would we even want stuff from across the boarder. They'd be wanting our stuff.
The dinosour(yes, sour) needs some pot. Might take away the edge.
I believe David w. Murray works for Big Pharma.
Big Pharma Would Lose $4 Billion Per Year Due to Medical Marijuana. So Yea I see why they don't want it Legalized!!
Man the government is playing use.
What about we're all adults so what about alcohol what are the benefits for alcohol liver cancer
Because it is it's a fact
Sounds like propaganda
"no medical use" About 40 states would like to disagree as well as over 60% of the public.
Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean you won’t be arrested for consuming cannabis recreationally or medically
Old guy if you believe that you should be put on a post and shot. How fucling clueless can people be
A bunch of lies

Legalize cocaine, thanks.
Why isn’t tobacco or alcohol on the list? Whoever runs the schedule drug shit is just an ignorant asshole
It does not fail on the not safe criteria and David W Murray didn't even address the known safety of the plant.
Dea Cia has been proven to be a rogue agencies and has continued this nonsense with allowing them control. Shame on you all for allowing it.

The exact arguments that you are using to legalize cannabis can also be used for anti-vaxxers. Think about that.

Where did that old fogey reefer madness guy come from. He must be getting paid by big Pharma and Alcohol companies.
Legislation will have to get approval from the Cartels and the mafia that they are getting kickbacks from!
