    But Tobacco and Alcohol is ok. Regardless of the negative effect it has had on lives and overall health compared to marijuana. Not to mention all the chemicals added to tobacco strictly just to make tobacco products more addictive (which has always been and is still legal in my lifetime at least) why does the legalization of marijuana on a federal level have to be so complicated still, what a Joke

    • @julianj9830

      Because our legal system is a cluster fuck of complexity. Legalizing something has to go through a process that involves convincing members of congress and the senate, many of which are paid under the table by prisons and big pharmas. So much campaign money comes from these shady industries. It’s all about money, and the rich will do everything in their power to stay rich.

      Yeah, I always think about this. The USA doesn't make sense on so many issues. Alcohol is the worst drug in the world. Most violent crimes are committed when people are drunk or blackout drunk. Drug offenses can have mandatory sentencing but rape, child molestors get out on good behavior and go do it again. I've heard of murderers getting out in 13 years and then committing murder. But some college kid gets caught selling cocaine for the first time to his friends. He gets mandatory 25 years. That is sick. Violent criminals should get the harsh sentencing not drug users or even dealers--if they aren't violent. Like you said it makes no sense when junior can go out and buy 151 and risk alcohol poisoning or a blackout where he may unknowingly commit a violent crime. Meanwhile cigarettes kill more people than all illegal drugs combined but they are ok. What a crazy country. But in Asia where I live, they think all drugs are the same as heroin. Probably because they follow the US federal policy and don't think for themselves. And of course alcohol and cigarettes are fine--oh yeah and they hand out benzos like candy and never tell you they are addictive. UPSIDE DOWN WORLD

      Folks, You want to talk PTSD? Before covid I was at the kiosk where I purchase my CBD oil, talking with the owner when she looked past me and said, "hi how are you"? I turned around to see a haggard looking ole fellow.....that started weeping right there in the mall?!?! The owner came around the counter and was consoling the man. After several minutes he composed himself enough to blurt out, "Mam my flashbacks have near left me and Im now sleeping 6-7 hours a night"! The gentleman was/is a Vietnam Veteran that suffered all those decades with the flash backs and rarely slept more than 2-3 hours a night. It was the gentlemans first time back to the kiosk, since purchasing his CBD and I just happened to be there! Completely random situation. F.W.I.W. I have 2 adult children with severe psychiatric challenges, one being coupled with ALS2 (Stephen Hawking) CBD ALONE haas been a GOD send for them both!! I can only imagine what Cannabis might do for them! Their story is on UA-cam, "Is CBD being suppressed". Until this Federal prohibition is struck down there are alot of disabled folks that will suffer until it is!! AS evidenced in my interview about my daughter. She is in a Federalty funded nursing home and they will in no way allow or assist with the administering of CBD oil. Even if she gets her medical card we have been told. This is violation of my daughters civil liberty and civil rights!!! The Federal Cannabis prohibition needs to go now!!!!!!!

Even though I have a medical card all it takes is one mistake at work that may not even be something that was in MY control in the first place and ill get fired in a state where it’s legalized just not federally, suddenly all the hard work and hours I put in (being a literal sheep) just to become an expert in my field would be gone to waste because I smoke sometimes at night, whilst all the employees that are to lazy to actually learn the job and dont want to work can make HUGE mistakes and WONT get fire because they dont smoke… sure I could quit smoking and deal with a little less sleep and wont ever have to ever worry about it in the first place, but why do I need to change for a system that doesn’t want to change for US in the first place, why do WE have to work our asses off and slave our days away, pay taxes, follow 100s of laws, and get bitched at over things that aren’t in our control whilst taking FULL responsibility as a grown and productive member of society and EXPECTED to be the bigger person?

      Nixon DRUG WAR was directly towards Weeds. It was grafted basically as a tool for WHITE SUPREMACISTS to be able to have an edge on who they can incarcerated in mass. The prison industrial complex has spent lot of money pushing to keep the law prohibiting Marijuana used. When the drug testing were put in place it was easier to catch THC not coke n heroin users. The law is illegal and eliminated lot of good blacks from jobs that are handed over to mediocre whites. The laws give white cops more power to bring in blacks. Basically white used more cannabis and blacks get more jail sentences more often. This a law for white supremacy to be able to rule. Now you can understand that the South n heavily republicans states are in love with the prohibition.

    2:37 The clown states that "Category 1 is the most dangerous drugs." But, at the same time, the chart on screen indicates nothing about danger or addictiveness. It only has two qualifications: high potential for abuse (i.e. popularity) and no medicinal value. That's why Marijuana was made Schedule 1. While no one in their right mind has thought Marijuana was dangerous, at least since the 1970s, it's probably the most widely popular illegal drug in the US. Also, the federal government decided there was no medical use for it, and then banned or highly restricted medical research until very recently. So that was a self-fulfilling criteria. Gradually, more research has opened up and it's now commonly understood to have large medical potential. But the drug remains hugely popular, so remains Schedule 1.
    Ultimately, the federal scheduling process needs to either be reviewed or eliminated entirely. This issue should be left to the states. Keep in mind that psychedelics such as Psylocybin and Peyote/Mescaline are also Schedule 1 drugs, despite psychologists finding value in prescribing them.

    I think I realize what else could be keeping marijuana illegal, and that's the fact that the price of farming in general is at an all time high. Farmers are paying 300% more on fertilizer, and marijuana requires more nutrients than most common crops. Thats not all, barrels of oil were $30-40, now they are over $100 a barrel. So the fuel we need to use for powering these farmers machines are even higher. Another thing is, when everyone and their moms can now buy weed. Bro, those people are going to eat more.
    Lets say all the milk is gone when you walk into a grocery store, expect the price to be higher next time you see milk again. Thats just how it works, the cow does not magically produce more milk. The same goes for when weed dispensaries are all over the place and you go in expecting to buy in bulk, when now you are limited to what you buy so they can control the supply and demand.

    The legalization of marijuana should be regulated at federal level to protect children and teens. The news at the TV was about a teen smokes marijuana and passed out drooling. All the dispensaries around the country should be monitoring and check the content. How much they sell? The dispensary that sells the product to the kids, should be immediately close. A girl purchased a lollipop couldn't close the mouth and dull until the effect pass away. Any adult providing kids with marijuana should go to jail. Human being should always have rules and regulations. Protect the people.

    the video could have noted that non-intoxicating hemp, a (previously) valuable agricultural product, was legalized in 2018 under that year's federal farm bill. this also can cause confusion for law enforcement, as low-THC hemp and high-THC cannabis are somewhat related, and sniffing dogs might not know the difference.

      Marijuana is made illegal because it threatens the pharmaceuticals establishment on making profits on medications that helps with insomnia, anxiety, stress, seizures, PTSD, and the list goes on. It's against the law to put a patent on nature so they could not own it but they could outlaw it. With the introduction of GMOs it now has the potential to be profitable to the pharmaceutical establishment. The problem is the already existing strains of marijuana out there and the fact that it's recreational in a lot of States. Pharmaceutical companies will lose billions if marijuana is made completely legal. Yes reefer madness did happened, but that's not ultimately why it was made illegal. That was just used as an excuse to ban a substance over greed.

    This all puts a bind on law enforcement when it comes to 'just' laws. The same principles that apply to cannabis legalization, are now used to limit access to abortion, sex education, Medicare, etc. It was the same principle that Alabama used to fight against civil rights, In the 60s.
    This is not brought on by moralists, with real objection to abortion or drug use, this is the social policy design of selfish people with a personal stake on controling society for their own ends. Personal and civil rights shouldn't be a piecemeal option.

    Schedule I isn’t for the most dangerous drugs, just ones without recognized medical use. It’s an easy assumption since Schedules V-II are numbered based on their potential for abuse (5 being smallest 2 being highest), but that grading system only applies to drugs with an accepted medical use. Schedule I is for *ANY* drug with a federally recognized potential for abuse but without any recognized medical use. So in this system heroin, mdma, weed and ayahuasca are scheduled together but not because anyone considered them to be the most dangerous, or to have a similar harm potential, just that there is abuse potential and no medical use.
    Other drug schedules that might surprise you are Meth and Crack at schedule 2.
    Meth is used medically like it’s chemical cousin amphetamine (Aderall) as a diet aid, narcoleptic therapeutic and focus medication. It’s marketed under the brand name Desoxyn.
    Cocaine is still used as a topical numbing agent (if you’ve ever used it recreationally you’ve experienced the affect first hand). Typically only used on patients who can’t tolerate other first line medicines like Lidocaine. Drug dealers will sometimes rub cocaine on their gums to test the strength and purity. Faster, stronger numbing means stronger, purer product.

Most people are unaware that Timothy Leary sued the Fed Gov back in 71 against the Marijuana Tax Act in the SCOTUS , and he won that case . A lot of people don't realize Hops are related to the Cannabis family . A corp lobbied and controlled Gov is a dangerous thing . Hemp competed against various industries with R&d dollars and patents . They eliminated the competition (Hemp) , and got our Gov to classify everything as Marijuana which unrelated to the Cannabis Genus . Real Marijuana is a wild tobacco plant that grows south of the equator . None of us have ever seen real Marijuana . So glad that there are other out there that understand the true history .
