All right, my friend. | |
Before we get into today's topic, I want to bring you up to speed regarding a couple of things. | |
And I don't like to do this all the time, but I want to do it when it's important. | |
We, those of us who are in the... | |
Opinion business, commentary business, analysis business, are under attack. | |
I am systematically loathed by the prototypical left and by the right. | |
The right, forget it. | |
When I say this, I say it reservedly, with caution. | |
The Fox News right. | |
What I mean by that is, there are people who believe that Fox News is a political party. | |
That this is it. | |
That there is no GOP, there's no conservatism, there's no Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan supply side. | |
No, no, no, no. | |
It's this whatever's on Fox News. | |
Which is a wonderful organization, great media, but their idea is making fun of people. | |
All of a sudden, they will bring somebody up and then... | |
Kyle Rittenhouse. | |
Remember Kyle Rittenhouse? | |
Kyle Rittenhouse was it. | |
And then, that's enough. | |
See ya. | |
Nobody will answer his phone calls anymore. | |
Why? | |
Because he's used. | |
We don't need you anymore. | |
We're spent. | |
It's like when you desiccate something, you... | |
We, you know... | |
It's like when you eat oxtails and you... | |
Some people are good. | |
I was very good at that. | |
Rabo. | |
I could suck every piece of meat and marijuana. | |
It was nothing when I got done with it. | |
Well, that's what they do. | |
They use you. | |
Tulsi Gabbard. | |
Tulsi Gabbard. | |
Oh, is this your... | |
Hello. | |
I'm Tulsi Gabbard. | |
Hello. | |
I'm Yvonne DiCarlo. | |
I'm Lily Munster. | |
Yes. | |
I used to be a Democrat, but not anymore. | |
And you know you... | |
Oh, please. | |
Stop it. | |
If you can't see through that, I don't know what to tell you. | |
I don't know what to say. | |
See, they don't like me. | |
You can't see through that phony baloney stuff? | |
What's the matter with you? | |
What's the matter with you? | |
I'm not a Democrat anymore. | |
Really? | |
How long did that take you to figure that one? | |
Yes. | |
I'm not a Democrat. | |
I'm... | |
Well, what are you? | |
Well, it depends. | |
I've got to figure it out. | |
And then you get the latest one, your girlfriend, Candace Owens. | |
Oh, yeah. | |
Oh. | |
Oh, she's going to break the Kyle Rittenhouse. | |
Who? | |
Kanye West. | |
What? | |
And Ray J? | |
Okay, that's it. | |
That's it. | |
That's it. | |
You've got to make up your mind. | |
Which side are you on? | |
And speaking of Kanye, remember Kanye was a darling. | |
Documentaries, conversation, gone. | |
He's been saying this forever. | |
That's the beauty of these people. | |
They want you to actually believe this tripe. | |
Don't you know what he did? | |
Don't you know what he was about? | |
All of a sudden, you're just figuring this out? | |
See, that's the part. | |
And that's why these people can't stand me. | |
Because I will not be lied to. | |
You're not going to lie to me. | |
I'm not the smartest guy in the world. | |
But I know... | |
Bovine egesta when I see it. | |
So they're over there. | |
And as far as the left goes, I can't stand me because there is no left. | |
There is no left. | |
That drives them nuts. | |
There's no Democratic Party. | |
I've got a friend of mine, bless his heart, he goes, you know, I'm a hippie. | |
You're a hippie? | |
What does that mean? | |
Well, you know, I've always been a hippie. | |
I say, there's no hippies anymore. | |
No, this is... | |
This is not it. | |
There was a lot that made more sense. | |
And if the truth be known, and I've said this a gazillion times, the politics that I've always agreed with more than anything was the classic, true, honest-to-God, progressive way of thinking. | |
Real progressive. | |
Not this stuff. | |
So anyway, so as you can imagine, I don't have any. | |
There's nobody who wants me. | |
And that's okay. | |
And that's just the way I like it. | |
When people agree with you, when the majority of people agree with you, you're doing something wrong. | |
You're not doing anything that's even worthwhile. | |
You're not heretical. | |
So what happens is, and I recognize this fact, when you take on my position, when you believe what I believe, when you say what I believe, When you speak from the heart, and I can't say this enough, when you say, I'm going to say whatever I feel, and whether you like it or not is another story, I don't care. | |
I don't care what people think. | |
It doesn't matter to me. | |
I don't care. | |
I'm going to say what I want. | |
If you like what I say, great. | |
If not, it's okay. | |
I understand it. | |
But I am not into the cult of personality. | |
There are people who love Trump because they love Trump. | |
I've never thought that. | |
What does he say? | |
I reject people, not because I don't like them, your girlfriends especially. | |
It's what they say. | |
And I can spot phonies a mile away. | |
And this is what drives people the craziest. | |
I know what happens. | |
And I'm going to tell you something. | |
And I just did one right now about the illusion of this. | |
What social media does, and how there are people, more people than you will ever know, who want nothing more than to say, please, dear social media god, I don't want to be known as the smartest. | |
I don't want to be known as the most informed, the most persuasive, the most. | |
Well-informed. | |
I want to be known as hot. | |
H-A-W-T. | |
Please, just let me be hot. | |
I never knew I wanted it this much, but I do. | |
And you know who I'm talking about. | |
You know it. | |
And they can't stand it. | |
Okay, so why this prolegomenon? | |
Why this precy? | |
Why this prefatory proem? | |
Because they kill my numbers because of it. | |
And they will give me every excuse in the world. | |
No, we're just cleaning up. | |
We're getting rid of the bots. | |
Bots? | |
Who bots? | |
Bots and negative bots? | |
Yeah. | |
You're saying I've got positive bots? | |
You're saying somebody somewhere unleashed torrents of, what, bot farm? | |
Pro-linel? | |
I don't think so. | |
Is that what you're saying? | |
I've got the negative ones. | |
Oh, Mrs. L, you won't believe this. | |
You've got to see how this works. | |
All of a sudden, you put out a word, and all of a sudden you get your comments are attacked by somebody who has no followers, who repeats the exact phrase of another. | |
Person who all of a sudden weighs in. | |
Now listen, just tell me the truth. | |
Just tell me, look, we don't want you on social media. | |
We don't like you. | |
We don't like your face. | |
We don't like your message. | |
We don't like anything. | |
So just, as God is your witness, I would accept that 100%. | |
I mean it. | |
Just tell me. | |
Just say, you're, go someplace else. | |
But I don't want to go where everybody is who agrees with me. | |
You don't make change that way. | |
I don't want to sit around with a bunch of people, oh, good. | |
Sorry. | |
Sorry. | |
I'm an apostle of truth. | |
I'm a missionary of truth. | |
I want to go where people are, where everybody is. | |
I don't want to go on some social media platform where everybody says, I'm not going to make any headway here. | |
I want to go where the world is. | |
So that's why, number one, it is so critical for you to like this. | |
To like this channel. | |
Support every single day. | |
I have been at these numbers for how many years? | |
Three years? | |
Four years? | |
The same number for four? | |
Years? | |
Come on! | |
Look! | |
Just tell me! | |
I've talked to people, and I've talked to people from... | |
They're good people. | |
YouTube. | |
Some of the greatest lectures and instructionals. | |
I love it. | |
And I've asked them, what's happening? | |
Well, have you changed your subject matter lately? | |
Come on! | |
Don't give me that! | |
Well, maybe, you know, maybe it's a subject matter. | |
Are you tagging things? | |
You're kidding me, right? | |
Look, I understand it. | |
Nobody's going to tell me, yes, we're killing you because we don't like what you're saying. | |
I know they're not going to tell me that. | |
This is the way it is. | |
This is the way it is. | |
I understand it. | |
But that's why I need you. | |
If I had my way, please let there be, I swear to you, if I had a TV network, you would be a slave to it. | |
You would watch it. | |
You would say, this is the greatest thing ever! | |
And you would be so angry and so enlightened and it would be so great because I would get just a veritable potpourri of people. | |
And none of them would look airbrushed. | |
Believe me. | |
Once you get somebody who says, am I really attractive? | |
That's it. | |
It's done. | |
It's over. | |
It's over. | |
Have you seen all of a sudden when you say, hi, I'm just a mom who wants to... | |
Oh, come on. | |
Stop it. | |
Listen. | |
Whatever. | |
We know what's happening. | |
We got it. | |
We got it. | |
Have you ever seen these garden varieties? | |
This is why the conservative folks can't stand me. | |
Oh, they love this same old message. | |
So here's the thing. | |
Number one, like this channel. | |
Like this channel. | |
Subscribe to this channel. | |
Tell your friends about this. | |
Like it. | |
And as far as supporting it, there's a link right there. | |
PayPal, Patreon. | |
This is still demonetized. | |
Demonized. | |
Not demoralized. | |
And I still don't know why. | |
Let me tell you this again. | |
I don't know. | |
They say, well, here's the terms. | |
No, no, no, no, no, no. | |
Tell me, what did I say? | |
Well, here's what you should... | |
No, no, please. | |
What happened? | |
I'm an adult. | |
I understand it. | |
Tell me what to do. | |
Imagine you're driving on the road. | |
Police officer pulls you over. | |
All right. | |
What is it? | |
He throws you a copy of the traffic code. | |
Here. | |
It's in there. | |
What? | |
Something. | |
That's where we are. | |
Mrs. L's Twitter handle? | |
Oh, Twitter! | |
Oh my God! | |
This morning we got a text saying, what? | |
She's protecting kids! | |
What are you talking about? | |
Me? | |
Okay, I understand this. | |
What? | |
So we went through... | |
Why is there this Twitter purge? | |
You know what they said? | |
What were some of the ones? | |
You're tweeting outside of your community? | |
What the hell does that mean? | |
You're promoting yourself too much. | |
You're tweeting outside of your community. | |
Harmful. | |
Oh, harmful content. | |
I love this. | |
Promoting yourself. | |
What do you think social media are all about? | |
Now, I want you to understand something. | |
I don't want you to listen to me. | |
I can only promise you one thing and one thing only. | |
When you get me, I'm going to tell you exactly what I feel. | |
And you may not like it. | |
You may say, well, that makes sense. | |
But you know I'm right. | |
Like Barry Goldwater, in your heart you know I'm right. | |
And I am telling you. | |
If anybody thinks I'm some lapdog for the GOP, you're not listening. | |
Because there is no GOP. | |
It doesn't exist. | |
Now we're going to get to today's topic about marijuana, which is a very, very important subject to stoners and people alike. | |
And I am 100% absolutely since 40 plus years For the complete and total decriminalization of all drugs, all drugs should be legal. | |
Legal. | |
Everything. | |
There is nothing that you, nothing. | |
Now, we're going to get into some discussions of that. | |
Because that shocks people. | |
People don't go, wait a minute, hold it. | |
I don't care. | |
It's up to you. | |
This kid who yesterday gets life in prison versus the death penalty, I can't believe people are crying over that. | |
I wanted him dead! | |
I wanted him dead! | |
Oh, that's great. | |
And I love this. | |
I ask the question, is Jesus, do you think Jesus is a support of the death penalty? | |
They say, oh, absolutely. | |
Jesus? | |
Jesus. | |
Oh, yes. | |
As a Christian, oh absolutely. | |
Jesus, this is what I've got to deal with. | |
I don't think anybody has any even remote, remote connection with reality. | |
So we need your help. | |
We need your support. | |
We need you. | |
We are in this alone. | |
And I'm telling you, I'm just warning you. | |
If you think I'm going to sit here and do a rehash of Fox News or spend all my days just bashing anybody, just no. | |
It's what I think. | |
And what you will find that I think is shocking to people because it's called independent thought. | |
Alright. | |
Stop right there. | |
Stop right there. | |
Before we go on, I want to talk about our sponsors and God bless these wonderful people. | |
I don't know how to tell you this. | |
I don't know how to make this any clearer than what we're talking about. | |
We're talking right now about MyPatriotSupply and PrepareWithLionel.com PrepareWithLionel.com Listen to me. | |

It's not like, how often do I got to replace it? | |
Replace it, you add to it. | |
PrepareWithLionel.com Now let's talk about something. | |
Number one. | |
I don't know anybody who has ever been in any federal prison who has ever been a part of any kind of federal indictment or a charge. | |
For mere possession of marijuana? | |
A joint or two? | |
Come on. | |
We're not talking about that. | |
You know it and I know it. | |
So first and foremost, we're talking about what Biden is doing. | |
And if you read the information, if you read what's happening right now, there's an op-ed piece from the Washington Post, which I quote, President Biden's partner of people convicted of a federal crime for a simple marijuana possession is a long overdue step to rectify policies. | |
That have disproportionately impacted communities of color. | |
There are many issues that must be discussed, and that's terrific. | |
The only problem with that is, or problem with that, people say, for a joint? | |
For a federal? | |
Federal? | |
What year? | |
What were they, in the 20s? | |
Okay, so put that into proportion. | |
Okay. | |
But ask yourself this question. | |
Separate industry. | |
What right does the government have to tell you you cannot possess this because this gets you high or stoned or happy or whatever? | |
Do you know what happens if you find somebody who has cyanide or strychnine in their pocket? | |
Nothing! | |
It's not in the schedules. | |
You can kill yourself. | |
You can drink yourself. | |
I promise you, the most important thing in the world that people don't talk about is alcohol abuse. | |
Oh my God, it's legal. | |
Cigarettes, vaping, that's up to you? | |
I don't understand this. | |
Bad food, fast food, too much food. | |
I'm sorry. | |
I am not a libertarian. | |
I'm not a libertarian. | |
I don't even know what a libertarian is. | |
But does anybody here believe that the government can tell you you can't do that? | |
For yourself? | |
For yourself? | |
Not for kids. | |
Not driving under the influence. | |
Not selling it. | |
Not whatever. | |
Just, I can't do it? | |
You're telling me I can't do it? | |
No. | |
I'm trying to think of what you can... | |
They're telling me I can't commit, maybe in some cases, physician-assisted suicide. | |
Oh, yes, I can. | |
We're always interested in people's rights. | |
I don't want to go through the Roe v. | |
Wade thing, but people are saying this is a woman's right, reproductive rights and that sort of thing. | |
Could you tell me one reason? | |
Just forget what it is. | |
The government tells you you can't do this to yourself. | |
What? | |
What? | |
Now, you can make the argument, well, I'll tell you this much. | |
If you do something to yourself, and because of this particular drug addiction, you are unable to work, unable to function, unable to, you know, contribute to the society, we're not going to pay you for welfare or medical disability. | |
Okay, fine, fine, fine, fine. | |
Alright, that's what the way it means. | |
Alright, I get it. | |
I dig it. | |
I dig it. | |
Alright. | |
Now, let's put that over here. | |
Okay? | |
You got that? | |
So, good for you, President Biden. | |
I don't know how many people are in federal prison because of a joke, but hey, look. | |
Go ahead. | |
That's number one. | |
Number two. | |
You only have so many... | |
We have right now... | |
Let me tell you something. | |
This is the current... | |
See what I'm doing right now? | |
By the way, grab your kids. | |
Call them overseas. | |
See what that man's doing? | |
He's looking something up. | |
You have no idea how many people are going, look it up! | |
I don't look it up. | |
What do you mean, look it up? | |
People don't... | |
By the way, nobody in this country apparently can answer, can use the past tense of go, I should have went there. | |
What? | |
These cops are, well, we should have went. | |
We should have went. | |
Okay, listen to this. | |
Mass incarceration. | |
Let me see right now. | |
Let me see. | |
That's not it. | |
Okay. | |
Here we go. | |
Prisoners and prisoners. | |
No, that's not it. | |
Okay. | |
This is August the 5th. | |
You're going to love this one. | |
Countries with the largest number of prisoners per 100,000 of the national population as of May 2021. | |
You ready? | |
You're not going to believe this. | |
This is from Statista. | |
U.S., number one. | |
Number two, El Salvador. | |
Turkmenistan, Palau, Rwanda, Cuba, Maldives, Virgin Islands, this can't be. | |
Countries with the largest number of prisoners per 100,000. | |
Okay. | |
Statistics, the world, we put, and you can look them up, I think we have more people in prison than in China. | |
We, prison, the prison industrial complex, oh my God. | |
I don't understand it. | |
I don't understand it. | |
When you put people in prison, you're saying to them, we're going to give you an education now in prison. | |
We're going to take you and we're going to put you, we're going to make you worse than anything you've ever seen. | |
But, but, but, there are some people who have to be in prison who are killers, who are the worst of the worst. | |
Dear God, you have no... | |
Earthly idea of how horrible these people are. | |
They're there too. | |
There are people who should never see the light of day. | |
They're getting released, but somebody for drugs? | |
No. | |
No. | |
Why do people involve themselves with drugs? | |
Usually, it's to make money. | |
Interestingly enough. | |
Do you know why fentanyl... | |
By the way, stop. | |
Raise your right hand. | |
Repeat after me. | |
I do solemnly swear to forever, from this day forward, pronounce fentanyl correctly. | |
It's not fentanyl. | |
That will be F-E-N-T-A-N-O-L. | |
It's F-E-N-T-A-N-Y-L. | |
Fentanyl. | |
Carboxyl. | |
Windowsill. | |
Kill. | |
Pill. | |
Jill. | |
You got it? | |
Fentanyl. | |
It drives me nuts. | |
When I hear this, fentanyl. | |
Do you not read? | |
Have you ever seen this word? | |
Have you ever looked at it? | |
No, I don't read it. | |
I just... | |
And carfentanyl? | |
Used. | |
I read this one time. | |
Used. | |
For the sedation of elephants. | |
That must be a big deal. | |
Now, do you know why they're doing this in Mexico? | |
Legalize marijuana. | |
Get marijuana in supply. | |
Nobody wants to get this stuff from Mexico. | |
They got this skunk stuff that's being sold left and right. | |
And in New York City, it's everywhere. | |
Everywhere. | |
Delivery people, people on bikes, people... | |
You smell it all. | |
Everything. | |
Everybody is stoned. | |
And whatever this stuff is, I don't know what it is. | |
I don't know what it is. | |
Now, that doesn't mean that just because you're for the possession that there should be laws against... | |
Because this is intoxicating. | |
People think for some reason it's like, well, you're not intoxicated. | |
Oh, yes, you are. | |
Seriously intoxicated. | |
I mean, you're not falling down. | |
But I don't understand why people have thought all of a sudden it's harmless. | |
But because we have legalized it for the most part in this country, in Mexico it says, now we're not making any money. | |
But here's the best part. | |
Fentanyl is even easier. | |
We don't need fields. | |
We don't need to pay people off. | |
We don't need planes flying over. | |
We don't need somebody, you know, paraquatting our... | |
No! | |
This is easy! | |
Whenever you do it, whenever you make something illegal, you just create a new... | |
a new... | |
excuse me, whenever you legalize something, you have to shift things. | |
Now, if everything was legal, that would be even better. | |
You see how legalization works? | |
They stopped selling marijuana in Mexico like they did because there's no profit in it. | |
Why is cocaine so expensive? | |
We can't grow it here. | |
We can't grow it here for some reason. | |
Can't grow it here. | |
Can't grow coffee, pineapples, things like that. | |
And by the way, guess what the number one most lucrative, most The biggest... | |
If you want to talk about money only, forget morality, human trafficking. | |
That's it. | |
But nobody wants to talk about it there in this country. | |
Nobody. | |
And sex trafficking, yes. | |
Children, yes. | |
Labor trafficking, absolutely. | |
Begging. | |
It's all over the place. | |
It's like you cannot... | |
Nobody wants to... | |
about this, it's like shh shh shh no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. | |
Well, we'll get to that later on. | |
But the bottom line, going back to this, is that you have every right in your life to use to kill yourself. | |
Now, there was a book. | |
Now, when I was in... | |
I am a child of the 60s and 70s um um What was it called? | |
There was a book at the University of Miami that talked about... | |
Oh, my God, I can't believe I just forgot it. | |
It was a book which was the most quoted at the time. | |
Medical. | |
It dealt with the long-term effects of what would happen if you would have legalized marijuana. | |
And they looked at the effects of it. | |
And I'll never forget one of the... | |
They did groups of people. | |
Now, this is marijuana of yore. | |
Remember when you went to a concert? | |
Remember when you smelled this stuff and you said, Oh, that smells like a Christmas tree. | |
That's over there. | |
Now, when you're in Florida, that's that Mayaka. | |
That's that mud. | |
That's... | |
That's definitely not from Florida. | |
That's California. | |
That's Oaxacan. | |
They had all of it. | |
High times, it would show buds. | |
Each one was an actual strain. | |
From Oaxaca, Panama, red, and Florida, Mayaka, homestead, varieties, Harvesters, you cannot believe it. | |
And then, and then, somebody said, well, let's see if we can put this to use the genius of our horticulture to blend and to use sativa versus indica to affect, okay, whatever. | |
Then, something happened. | |
Then they said, well, let's take the joint and let's make these new strains that I'm telling you, I know the smell. | |
I've never smelled that in my life. | |
Never smelled it. | |
What is this? | |
And they say, edibles. | |
At every store, you walk to other stores, there's these stores. | |
Edibles! | |
Have this! | |
Now, here's what happened years ago. | |
There was something called Marinol. | |
Marinol was a substance. | |
They asked older people, older people who wanted to use marijuana. | |
Now, by the way, this is interesting to note. | |
This is why marijuana was so important. | |
One of the things that it used to be known for, I don't know, when it was milder. | |
When I mean milder, I meant the message. | |
We didn't have stoners or people who would say, hey, peace, you know, just passing through, keep on trucking. | |
You know, Haight-Ashbury, you know, it was kind of innocent. | |
Well, what happened was, in 1969, which was the end of the 60s, literally, but also with Manson, and also the influx of hard drugs into Haight-Ashbury, in particular, it killed it. | |
It was gone. | |
It was destroyed. | |
Hippiedom and all that? | |
Marijuana, if the 60s and 70s was a communal convivial, here, pass it around. | |
You know, don't bogart that joint. | |
Here, anybody wants them? | |
Yeah! | |
Cocaine? | |
Me! | |
Me! | |
Don't get away! | |
Get away! | |
It's mine! | |
Oh my god. | |
What happened? | |
Forget heroin. | |
But there was a time when, and a lot of people that I know from this particular era, they were called the hippies. | |
It was a milder. | |
So this form of marijuana then used to do a couple of things. | |
First of all, it was an antiemetic. | |
People who were going to throw up, people who were drunk, who said, here, smoke this. | |
This will help. | |
It's an antiemetic. | |
It prevents emesis, vomiting. | |
Also important for chemotherapy, number one. | |
Number two, munchies, right? | |
When people who were on chemotherapy, people who were sick, people who would wither away, especially doing AIDS, wasting diseases, this accelerated appetite. | |
Oh my God! | |
And then they got into the medical marijuana. | |
I'm thinking, this is a debate? | |
This person is terminal and you're going to charge this person? | |
It'll stop the emetic retching from vomiting and it will increase appetite and we're debating this? | |
Dear God! | |
Well that was then. | |
Now that's over with. | |
Now it is everywhere. | |
And I don't know what this is. | |
I have no idea. | |
I don't I find that people who normally People who announce their own lifestyles tend to brag, but I am a... | |
I'm not addicted to, but coffee is... | |
that's it. | |
And I am never, ever, ever in the position of telling somebody that what they're doing now is wrong or moral. | |
I hate that. | |
I hate that. | |
I can tell you what I think. | |
But that's your decision. | |
Whatever it is. | |
And I find, and I think a lot of people I know who are of my generation, of my age, there is something so wonderfully refreshing about being lucid. | |
About knowing what's going on at all times. | |
I know that sounds kind of crazy, but it's true. | |
Always being up, up, up, up, up. | |
And there are sometimes, let me tell you something, you know, when you're younger, you know, part of the thing about being young is being stupid and more adventurous and what you consider to be interesting. | |
But by the way, I will tell you something right now. | |
There are people that I know who are using cannabis in whatever variations of it for arthritis, for spastic disorders. | |
100% I am in agreement. | |
You should not have to ask. | |
When you get to children, we got to talk to physicians and that sort of thing. | |
But it's so funny. | |
These doctors are, well, I'm not sure about that. | |
When it came to vaccines, there was never a vaccine any doctor did not like. | |
But when it came to using marijuana as an analgesic, as an antiemetic, as whatever, they were like, well, I don't know what to do. | |
Now, We have got to get to the bottom of this. | |
But please, I want to tell you something. | |
Just because it should be legal doesn't mean you should do it. | |
But hold that thought for one second. | |
Because let me tell you something right now. | |
Do you know what it is right now? | |
It is 56 degrees in New York City. | |
It is a beautiful day in the neighborhood. | |
And we have the windows open. | |
Oh, I loved that. | |
Growing up in Florida, we never opened up the windows, ever! | |
Well, we did as a kid, but we could not possibly handle that because it was just one of those things that, dear God, it was so hot. | |

Now, I'm going to go back to this marijuana thing. | |
If you think, if you think that marijuana is good for you, That's when we part company. | |
See, I get into this argument all the time. | |
Good for you? | |
It's good for you? | |
You mean you're better off with it? | |
Good for you means you're better with it than without it. | |
Water is good for you. | |
Green, leafy vegetables. | |
The darker the green, remember, the better. | |
Especially better. | |
I love this Tuscan kale. | |
That is something. | |
And when you put it in your fridge, it's got a funk to it. | |
And that, interestingly enough, that smell, that chemical structure, is what keeps the bugs away. | |
And what keeps the bugs away is what is a phytonutrient to you that you can't get in a pill. | |
Green. | |
Dark green. | |
You know why resveratrol is supposedly so good? | |
Why grape, dark grapes? | |
Because there's something in that grape skin that allows it to withstand the beating, pulsating ferocity of the sun. | |
And that chemical compound is what benefits you in the long run. | |
It's fascinating. | |
So you are better, you are better, are you, is, Olive oil, good for you? | |
No. | |
You're not better off with it. | |
No, you don't even need it. | |
People go crazy with it. | |
What? | |
I'm Italian. | |
I don't care. | |
What does that mean? | |
No, no, no. | |
Olive oil. | |
Don't they say it's good? | |
I don't care what they say. | |
Are you better with marijuana? | |
No. | |
When you affect your brain, when you affect its plasticity through intoxication, is that good? | |
Does your brain say, hey, that's great. | |
Give us some more. | |
Hey, that's terrific. | |
Now that we've loosened up, we're playing white room and we're into psychedelia. | |
Yeah, that's great. | |
No! | |
No! | |
Are you better with opiates? | |
No! | |
Are you better with heroin? | |
No! | |
Should it be illegal? | |
It's a different issue. | |
Are you better? | |
Because that's what we do. | |
When we like something, or when we think something should be illegal, we then make this stuff up. | |
It's good for us. | |
It's not good for you. | |
You don't need marijuana. | |
You're better off without it. | |
But, I guarantee you, the next time you look at something, I know you don't do this. | |
Sometimes you go to the drugstore and the next time you see a drug, read the contraindications. | |
Read the indications or the negative side effects or the effects. | |
Read it. | |
Especially SSRIs. | |
And I'm not going to say poo-poo to SSRI. | |
But just read it. | |
And remember, drug companies don't want to put that and whatever they list first is number one. | |
I promise you that if you have to weigh the action, if you could... | |
You know, smoke a joint versus take the pill, I'd say go for the joint. | |
It's not good for you, but it's a lot less harmful than this. | |
What people will give you, what medical science will give you, and think nothing of it? | |
Oh dear God! | |
Have you ever seen somebody with corticosteroids, with prednisone, and see that Jerry Lewis, remember when your face blows up? | |
Have you ever seen that? | |
And the doctors act like it's nothing. | |
Here, take this quarter and say, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. | |
Am I going to lose weight? | |
Well, you should lose weight. | |
Lose weight. | |
Gain weight, I should say. | |
You'll blow up. | |
You'll look like a circus act. | |
They think nothing of it. | |
Doctors are weird about that. | |
They'll say, oh, this might pinch a little. | |
Pinch a little. | |
When I was a kid, I was 13, they took x-rays for my bladder. | |
They said, we're going to take a picture. | |
Take a picture. | |
Well, they took a picture, all right. | |
It was a torture. | |
So, I don't know who speaks for us, the consumer, for the patient, but this is nuts. | |
If you think for some particular reason... | |
And by the way, let me go back to some things too. | |
Somebody brings up a very, very good point. | |
Marijuana. | |
Why do I say that? | |
Marijuana. | |
Go back. | |
Smoke and Mirrors, I think, was a great book about the derivation... | |
One of the histories of the negativity to marijuana. | |
Because it was the Mexicans. | |
Go back to Smoke and Mirrors. | |
It's a great book. | |
Hearst. | |
Timber plantations. | |
Timber forests or crops. | |
Pancho Villa. | |
You've heard this. | |
Seize this. | |
Marijuana. | |
Mexican. | |
Remember who else? | |
The only jazz musicians were smoking marijuana. | |
I wish I had penciled in mustache. | |
Jimmy Buffet. | |
Remember that? | |
Also, black. | |
Reefer madness. | |
Makes you crazy. | |
Oh, the stigma. | |
It's incredible. | |
That never... | |
Stigma never changes. | |
It never leaves. | |
It never goes away. | |
It just... | |
Once you... | |
Nancy Reagan, just say no. | |
Thanks, Nancy. | |
Never thought about that. | |
Hey, guys, you know we can say no? | |
Thanks, Nan. | |
Appreciate it. | |
Then, hemp. | |
Oh, God. | |
DuPont. | |
DuPont? | |
Synthetics. | |
Remember synthetics? | |
Dacron. | |
World War II synthetics for parachutes. | |
For sales? | |
What about hemp? | |
Shut up! | |
Even though hemp, as we're talking about, has no psychoactive qualities whatsoever. | |
Nonetheless. | |
So those are the reasons. | |
Those are some of the reasons why this still remains. | |
By the way, we did a poll we can be a part of. | |
All drugs should be legalized completely. | |
51% disagree. | |
Now think about that one. | |
I'm going to go back and I'm going to finish with this. | |
There may be limitations to trafficking. | |
For example, can you just sell huge batches of booze that isn't taxed? | |
No! | |
But liquor is legal if you're over 18 or whatever. | |
But you can't go and start selling it and wholesaling it. | |
I understand that. | |
Trafficking. | |
Trafficking is a very interesting term. | |
Trafficking, by the way, is one of the most interesting words in the world. | |
Trafficking means... | |
Normally... | |
Let me just... | |
Again, let's go to this. | |
Always go back to the definition. | |
Trafficking. | |
What does trafficking mean? | |
Trafficking means... | |
Trafficking definition. | |
Just a minute. | |
Not human trafficking. | |
Trafficking means... | |
Okay. | |
It means the activity. | |
Of buying or selling goods illegally. | |
The act of buying or selling people or making money from their work. | |
Trafficking normally implies something where the quantity that is involved implicates, insinuates or involves an activity more than mere possession. | |
For example, in the old days, 28 grams is an ounce. | |
You get a three-year minimum mandatory when we're prosecutors in Florida. | |
If you sell that, that's three years minimum mandatory. | |
So they would sell a street ounce or a short ounce, 27 grams, boom, that's it. | |
based on the amount. | |
Uh... | |
And I can't say this enough. | |
28.35 grams in an ounce. | |
They would also say, well, if we find a particular stash, we would arrest somebody, and they'd have bags, baggies. | |
So therefore, he was most probably going to possession with the intent to traffic. | |
Anyway, it would be like 100 pounds for trafficking for marijuana, but 28 grams for this, and then later on, minimum endatories for, you know the whole thing about crack and the like. | |
So, the idea is, the stupidest, most ridiculous thing in the world is a war on drugs. | |
It is a joke. | |
It's always been a joke. | |
And I've been saying this forever. | |
Ever. | |
And it's a waste of time. | |
It's ruined lives. | |
State levels, mostly. | |
And here's Carmelita Harris, who says, by the way, she prosecuted more people for dope than anything. | |
She's kind of forgotten that. | |
On the state level, on the AG and DA level. | |
So that is a waste of time. | |
