Funny fox news marijuana argument

Make sure to watch this the guy used to be a cop.



It's funny how they keep on interrupting him when he starts making sense

Oh and that bit when the fat guy talks

Spoiler:

:lolguy:

Frankly I don't know if I even want marijuana legalized. People are gonna smoke it whether it's legal or not and I'm sure regulating marijuana cost more tax dollars than outright banning it. But maybe I'll have a different opinion once I smoke the stuff.

But the news anchor makes a good point about helping people keep their addictions up. These tips can apply to cocaine, painkillers, heroin, etc.

Drugs are bad, mkayy

Mary Jane is just a 'erb.

Marilize Legaljuana

No seriously this guy's an idiot. Yeah suure the war on drugs is just the same as slavery and sexism, racism and whatever else he's talking about.
Rosa Parks hahahaha.
He has to rely on metaphors to make his point. Can't just be rational. Total cunting idiot. Yeah they interrupted him a little but they made relevant points... he just babbled on about unrelated stuff.

You faggots rather talk about marijuana instead of Kate Upton? :areyoufuckingk

Economic crisis and incredible depths in america? Pretty talk about legalizing marijuana. :areyoufuckingk

His point was about bad policy. He didn't compare marijuana to slavery he just said that they were both bad policy. And he's right, weed was made illegal because it threatened the smoking and paper industries, not because it's bad for you. The Fox news guys didn't make any relevant points they were just attempting to damage his credibility, which you seem to have fallen for.

Weed is mildly addicting, but no where near the level of alcohol or tobacco. It doesn't inflict a physical addiction to the body, it's just so good that some people can't help themselves. That's a rather weak argument they made.

As for legalizing marijuana. I don't smoke the stuff and I don't plan too, but I'd rather people smoke weed rather than cigarettes.

I know it's not nearly as addictive as alcohol and hard drugs like coke, but my point is that people can use these videos to hide said hard drugs. If these hiding spots work for marijuana, why not for someone who is hiding coke or alcohol despite going to AA?

I'd rather people smoke weed than cigarettes but we can just as easily ban cigarettes. It's healthier if both were banned, no?

Why is Fox News still around? They do nothing except spur propaganda bullshit.

They're a news station, what do you expect? It's actually good that they're around because they provide the other side of the story you won't get from those liberal news stations.

Sometimes Fox News is more reasonable to certain events. Like the Trayvon Martic case. They didn't imply racism like other news stations did.

1. You shouldn't attribute other factors like that. It's not a solid argument and only tries to derail the cause. Difficult to explain what I mean but here are some examples.

Let's say I make a video on how to shoot a sniper rifle or make a sniper simulator. It's just meant to help those who use snipers for sport or entertainment, like shooting cards a mile away. Someone could hypothetically use those videos to train in an attempt to assassinate the President. If I sold a device that detected nearby police cars (which do exist) for the purpose of avoiding speedtraps then someone could say criminals could use those to escape the police. If I made a video that teaches someone how to stuff themselves into a small cardboard box someone could say that foreigners could use those methods to sneak into the United States. If I sold fake bibles to hide flasks inside somebody could say that it could be used to store a bomb instead and bring it aboard a plane.

Just because someone can use a method to do something wrong other than the intended use doesn't make it wrong to teach that method.

2. Sounds good on paper but would backfire horrible like the prohibition did. Weed is already deeply embedded into our society it will never go away. It is however better than tobacco and has many other uses. If it was legalized people would smoke it more than tobacco and thus less people will die or get lung cancer.

I never said it was wrong to teach what he is teaching, I just think it's a fair point and hopefully something the guy considered.
