Jim Hightower: The Government’s Sick War on Marijuana
Excuse me for a moment while I vent about the mind-boggling stupidity of the autocratic, bureaucratic, right-wing, Neanderthal numskulls who keep pushing an insane, inane, and inhumane holy war against marijuana — which is, after all, a weed. The holy warriors have become more fanatical and thuggish than ever. A marijuana arrest is made every 41 seconds in America — nine out of 10 of them for mere possession. In 2004, 772000 Americans were arrested on marijuana charges — more than for all violent crimes combined.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
Tomorrow’s Another Day by Netsky From Hype’s show on Kiss 101, the original should hit vinyl on Liq-Weed Ganja, July 27th. I’ve had word that this VIP isn’t going to be released, which is a shame as its a really good song. Enjoy
The Good Weeds
This narrative about children growing up on a small farm during the 1930′s and 40′s is rich in emotion, insight, and detail. As with all good human interest stories, one is quickly immersed in dilemmas, crises, and antics gone awry. The emphasis on visual action makes for stimulating reading as well as the possibility of translating into film.

TO NAB PEACEFUL, MELLOW SMOKERS LOL!
high school kids are getting smarter.. more smoke weed than cigs.. good kids!
@SBernardoni1991
so in your eyes, i should allow the government to control me and what i put into my body. how about i drink large amounts of poisinous, addictive booze and become a drunk. NO THANK YOU
ITS my body i will put what i please into it. im already addicted to 1 legal substance, cigarettes which i need to quit.
seems like if it really is dangerous than its legal. pot is harmless and its illegal. makes no sense
@SBernardoni1991 The right wing IS stupid though. It’s apparent in everything they do, not just in stupid drug laws. All conservatives need a “boogy man” to fool working people into voting for them against their own best interest, and in favor of Conservatism, aka Fascism. Reagen’s boogy man was drugs and he fooled a lot of idiots with it
@SBernardoni1991 They’re are more than two political positions you know.
It doesn’t matter if you think it’s fair or not. It is illegal and we all have to obey the law. Also you commenting that the “right wing” is stupid is basically admitting to being a democrat, which is really a communist. Of course you won’t admit it, that’s what you democratic liberals do best, deny things!
ive had weed before, but yesterday i had it for like the first time in like 4 months. i shared like 4 spliffs with 2 friends and i had a relli bad experience, i started sweating and shivering, i felt relli sick in my stomach n headaches. i felt relli depressed and sleepy. is this normal if u aint done it in a while.
i dont smoke cigatettes any more just weed! i dont try not to drink as much…tobacco and alcohol are sooo bad and yet people think weed is worse????????
why should pot not be legal? please tell me ur logic. weed has never killed a single person. the only reason it is a gateway drug is because of prohibition. if u could buy it in stores there wounldnt be people buying harder drugs just cause their weed dealer sells them. the only reason kids r smoking pot is because it is illegel and easier to get then buying beer from a liquor store. lots of ppl already smoke pot, wat would change if it were legal? its a bullshit war that needs to end
not only do the pharmacutical companies want to keep a healing plant illegal the county govt.s makea large amount of money. I’m currently on pobation soon to be over in oct. and I’ve paid over 1000 dollars this is happening every where. for them to give up this money it’sgonna bea hard fight.
I drive better while high… And I do better at my school work so FUCK YOU….
DEA = Dumb Evil Assholes
Well do you think everyone drives around stoned, go to work stoned, use machinery, in the nerherlands? The whole damn country is probably stoned 24/7 and all they do is sit and have munchies all days while the infrastructure collapse. You are really smart aren’t you
I LOVE Jim’s video! Great job!
Finally a video which uses common sense. Funny how they make pot look more dangerous than cocaine, meth or heroin. Far as I’m concerned, they just want an excuse to throw good prople in prison, they make better workers in the cheap labor force. You see most prisons are privately owned. Don’t take my word investigate on your own. The answers might shock you.
Hightower promoting something, what more do you need to know.
Okay make it legal, Stoners driving to and from the 7/11, Stoners using machinery (of any kind). How about dealing with a stoner in a public relation situation? Dealing with a stoner at the DMV? (oh, wait. I think that has happen.
SURE! Make it legal. Look, want to smoke weed? Move to San Francisco, it’s Stoner Nation!!
it cost more to keep a young man in prison than send his ass to collage
can’t get away from the fact of how they arrest marijuana users and send them to prison sometimes for years and then supply Israel with billions of dollars worth of weapons and kill thousands of Palestinians and no one is held responsible. Which is worse, smoking or murdering?
You lost buddy… Now, if you are willing to accept help, I can help point you in the right direction. There is a better way than stoning your life away. Give sobriety a chance, learn to know yourself.
“Who gives a fuck?”
You do. Because you said my caring about my community and children was unAmerican and Communist. You seem to think that marijuana should be legalized because the founding fathers used it. The founding fathers also had slaves. Do you wish to legalize slavery too? Slavery to…. pot?
More than 40,000 americans are in prison for marijuana, more than the entire prison populations of 8 european countries. It costs over 2 billion dollars a year to keep these people in jail!
I found that to be astonishing, so I had to put it in text for anyone who missed it.
The government fears pot and the people who smoke it.
OVERGROW THE GOVERNMENT! THROW YOUR BEANS EVERYWHERE!
Wonderful! I served my country also. Who gives a fuck? The “war on drugs” is un-American without a constitutional amendment. And, again, “marijuana addiction” does not exist. This conversation is over until you can come to terms with reality. Bye, have a nice life!
Cannabis is not addictive. Get over it.
Shafer Commission – National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse (appointed by President Nixon): “Abrupt withdrawal does not lead to a specific or reproducible abstinence syndrome and physical dependence has not been demonstrated in man or in animals.”
Google: “marijuana addiction”
Guess what? No govt sites with info on it. Why? Because it doesn’t exist. They can’t outright lie. They’ll use half-truths, but they can’t lie.
Furthermore, I take offense to this:
“You know underneath your anger that you are not a true American”
Nice that you say that to me after I served in DSEW,SW, EF, OIF, OEF, and GWAT. I’ve been to several different countries and have been shot at while trecking through sand and jungle while you sit there and smoke your grass illegally. So how many disabilities have you endured through serving your own people? Drug addiction doesn’t count as a disability so hang it up.
“you commie bastard… You know nothing about me. Don’t assume. It makes you look like an asshole.”
What pejorative words from people who hold double standards! It’s okay for you but not for me?
“Do you know your American history? If our founding fathers had as little backbone as you there wouldn’t be an America or a constitution.”
Sounds like you don’t know much about your own country! Maybe you should grow a spine and say “no” to the drug which possesses you!
god bless the internet!
