I’m Drew Carey reminding you to help control the pet population – spay and neuter your pet today.

No wait, that’s not right.

I’m Drew Carey reminding you to help control reefer madness – call your senator or congressman today.

I agree with Drew. The gov’t’s classification of pot as a dangerous drug is ridiculous. It has been ever since Reefer Madness. The United States has thrown countless millions of dollars at the pot culture, to no avail. Grow it, package it, tax it, and sell it in liquor stores just like alcohol. They like to call it the gateway drug, but anyone with a lick of sense knows cigarettes and alcohol are the gateway drugs.

WAY TO GO DREW…A STAND-UP MAN.

Thank God people like Drew who have a platform and voice are seeing things the same way everyone else is. You would’ve thought the gov’t would have learned it’s lesson with alcohol prohibition. What a huge waste of our money!

Poor Drew. Poor people. Poor uninformed individuals who think it’s a good idea to smoke one thing, but not another.

Synthesizing or extracting what’s (allegedly) medicinally beneficial about marijuana has always been a viable alternative, but no, it’s only cool to use the Cheech and Chong delivery methods. When “dosing” is used as a code word for marijuana-laced brownies, as one example, there’s no substantive argument left for the pro-marijuana folks to advance.

“Dude, we need it.” No, you don’t. Next, they’ll be lobbying for hashish to be legal.

“Medicinal marijuana” has precisely the same set of potential effects as the non-medicinal variety: Respiratory problems, cognitive impairment, and long-term physiological addiction, among many others. Who said tobacco was the only bad thing to smoke?

Drew, you should hope more people don’t see that schlockumentary. You’re very good at being funny, but abysmal at dispensing propaganda.

Mike Bratton, what are you talking about?

Didn’t you see the nice lady spray the tincture into her mouth? She didn’t smoke anything. Didn’t you see the ice cream and other non-smoking methods? It would be great if big pharma would make it in pill form, but they’re not allowed by our nanny government.

“Next, they’ll be lobbying for hashish to be legal.” It’s the same thing! Same active ingredient: THC.

Of course it’s dangerous to smoke cigarettes or marijuana. Ingesting it by eating is safer, but still not safe. It’s a drug, and all drugs have risks.

If pot is medicine, it’s on the margins… it’s a psychoactive drug, not aspirin. But whether it’s good medicine or not, it makes no sense to continue a draconian war against it that does MUCH more harm to the country than good.

the majority of people using marijuana are not using it for medical reasons, they’re using it to get high, and that’s why it’s illegal.

While there’s no hope for those who wish to remain willfully ignorant, this conservative Republican with MS, multiple sclerosis, has had remarkable results from cannabis. It returned my vision when I was blind, and it helps keep me seeing, walking, moving, doing everything to this day.

I sincerely offer my best to all the MS patients out there worldwide.

At last there may be another promising source of funds for Children’s Healthcare. Lawmakers are soon going to lose the tobacco income due to the consumption tax increases. Plus, we could actually eliminate HillaryCare before it even becomes reality. The added benefit, of course, is when your memory goes (to pot) HillaryCare will come back with a vengence and it won’t even matter.

I am with Drew all the way.
can you immagine how many congressmen will lose their kick backs from marijuana dealers?
And lower crime rates .
Think about it. It is freedom Drew.
Go bud . Go get them.

Its illegal for a non prescribed user to take any medication so bad argument for prohibition. We need to support non-chong members of our society that can rationally think about the overall war on drugs. Marijuana is not the gateway, its the marijuana dealer, living in his mom’s basement, feeding his meth addiction that exposes our youths to these more aggressive and dangerous drugs.

Dear Jo,

Yes we do smoke it to get high, but I doubt that you drink alcohol solely because you like the taste. My guess is you and many others drink it because they want to get drunk. You drink Starbucks to get the Caffeine buzz. Caffeine is highly addictive and people have serious withdrawals coming off of it. That isnt the case with marijuana. So why is coffee legal? Its misplaced priorities.

The federal government has already vowed not to arrest medical marijuana users.

The slippery slope question goes to those who have used marijuana — do you think it is okay to drive while using? If not, and given the recent findings on marijuana-related psychosis, do we want to expand this beyond medical usage?

P.S. Drew seems to be getting fatter by the day…munchies?

RE: TJ’s Anti-contrarian blog
That or old age. :-)

RE: TJ’s Anti-contrarian blog (Pt. 2)

Marijuana use should be treated just like the alcohol laws. You drive high, go to jail.

the majority of people using marijuana alcohol are not using it for medical reasons, they’re using it to get high, and that’s why it’s illegal legal.

How does that previous post read now?

No study has ever found pot to be addictive. I would rather people ingest cannibis than take morphine, percocet, vicodin or oxycontin. That stuff ruins lives! So medical marijuana has to battle the huge pharmaceutical companies… and Anheuser Busch. Go Drew!

God made marijuana, man made beer. Who are you going to trust?

If it were legalized, I wonder what would happen to all of the pot smokers we’ve locked up in prisons as a result of tough drug laws; you know these guys that were non-violent that have had to toughen up into real violent criminals in order to survive all these years?

I don’t guess we should let them out into society too soon.

Way to go Carrie, its good to see and hear the truth about medicial marijuana instead of those high dollar lies that the feds put out. Id much rather see my kids use a lil pot instead of using alcohol/ meds for pain. Hopefully with truthful ads like yours the word can and will get out and federal policies can change. Thanks and keep up the good work

“You would’ve thought the gov’t would have learned it’s lesson with alcohol prohibition.” They learned alright — learned they needed to make pot the new bogeyman so as to retain their law enforcement jobs. Prohibition collapse was a bleak day for the Eliot Ness guys, just as legalizing pot would be.

Drew is an ex Marine, or as Marines see it they never ex, just Marine’s. I don’t smoke pot, I think it should be legal, the mere fact that the US has more people incarcerated then any other country on the planet should tell you something.

Alcohol abuse is a far more dangerous to the body and people surrounding the user.

driving high is a problem im sure but not like driving drunk…

and when have you ever heard of somebody on pot beating up his wife?

If the people that frequent these “pharmacies” wanted actual medical benefits, why don’t they get a prescription for marinol? Is it because you can’t smoke marinol? Is it because marinol isn’t the cool thing to do? I’m sure that there are people that do get benefits from marijuana. But there are other ways to get the benefits of delta-9-THC instead of packing a bowl. When doing that, or the ice cream or brownies, there is no way to control the doseage. If you were to take a medication like marinol, you would know exactly how much of the drug is going into your system so that you get correct amount.
I also love how people think that the law enforcement officers will lose their jobs if pot were legalized. I guess there won’t be any more robberies, domestic disputes, drunk drivers, or anything like that thanks of course to the legalization of pot.

I attended a lecture by Dr. Drew Pinsky at Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena. He said, “I’ve got news for you, every person using medical marijuana is an addict. People that truly need it for pain use the pharmaceutical alternatives because they are more effective for pain relief and easier to use”. People that use medical marijuana just want to get high.

GO DREW GO!!!!
IT IS SO GOOD TO HEAR SOMEONE SPEAK ABOUT REASON.

If only the same attitudes were applied to guns something specifically protected in the constituon.

Chuck F-

A doctor thought that PhRMA products were just as beneficial as Med Marijuana? Interesting. Hmm. Wow. PhRMA actually underwrites lots of medical research. And they treat doctors to lots of meal and trips. What a happy coincidence. That’s a win-win.

Dravot the Pothead–

Dr. Pinsky is one of the nation’s leading experts in chemical addictions. You could read his books… unless your motivation level is strangely low.

As long as the “PRICE IS RIGHT”!
We need more advertising like this.
Thanks Drew for your support.

I’m an old successful head from the sixty’s.I don’t recommend pot to anybody that’s normal. I would hope my kid’s don’t smoke it. The reality is the feds get away with robbing the states of their rights. Same thing with abortion. Don’t get caught out of the states with pot.. Drew you’re right on!

I’m betting that those of you who commented against the legalization of the medical use of marijuana haven’t experienced a loved one painfully dying. My Father languished for months in a morphine daze waiting to die from cancer. He could barely raise his head to see his new granddaughter and the side effects were horrible. I knew that marijuana not only would help ease his pain but also allow him to participate in life without any side effects. This plant has many positive qualities, reduces pain from cancer, glaucoma, stomach and headaches, and for all of you politicians out there, HEMORRHOIDS!! It reduces anger, depression and anxiety better than any pharmaceutical drug and again without unwanted side effects. As with anything moderation is the key. It does not make you lazy unless you’re lazy or decrease motivation unless you are lazy or lack motivation anyway. As far as possible lung damage there is a device that vaporizes the smoke. I think it is called a “volcanoe” but I’m not sure. If you are smoking it to reduce pain or any other ailments, you really don’t care about the smoke. There is an old saying “Write what you know about.” As a cancer survivor I used this plant after chemo and radiation with incredible results. I know this drug and have for years. I am a productive, coherent citizen who as of today has experienced no ill effects from marijuana use. Thank you Drew Carey for having the guts to stand up for what is so dang right. Take care. J.

Medical marijauna advocates are just a bunch of people who want to legalize marijauna for
recreational purposes using supposed medical uses of marijauna for subterfuge. The active
incredient in marijuana is currently available in prescription form in a pill (its called
marinol). Its commonly used for anorexia and nausea. I don’t see any of the MM advocates
wanting controlled studies to identify actual potential uses for THC as a pharmaceutical. Its
funny that one of the advocates in Carey’s video starts off telling you how he tokes up to
help with his back pain but then lets it out that he’s actually been using marijuana for years
recreationally since he was in VietNam.

WHY NOT LEAGALIZE IT? NOT ONLY IS IT BETTER THAN GOOD OLE CANCER STICKS THAT ARE LEAGAL AND COST TAX PAYERS MILLIONS FOR HEALTH REASONS .YOU CAN GET PAPER ,CLOTHS ROPE AND OIL THAT CAN BE USED IN HAND LOTIONS ETC.

Marijauna is addictive. There is no question about this fact. The lengths to which chronic
users will go to obtain and use this substance (risking loss of employment and imprisonment)
is just the start of subjective evidence of this. Smoking marijauna is just more dangerous
to the lungs than smoking cigarettes. Marijauna is definitely a gateway to harder drugs. The
fact that some marijauna dealers lace their weed with more addictive substances like cocaine
is evidence of this.

I am not completely opposed to legalizing recreational use of marijauna but there is not
widespread support for this.
Decriminalizing marijauna is unacceptable as is legalizing the medical use of
marijauna because these are ways for wimpy
politicians to legalize marijauna without taking the political hit for it.

I am a 30-year old white man in Phoenix, Arizona….would consider myself right-of-center politically (do not consider mr. hussein my president and despise pelosi and barbara boxer). with that said, marijuana should be legalized period…not just for medicinal purposes. My understanding is that when the automobile was being invented it was originally created to run on hemp oil. The oil companies got wind of this and used their money to pursuade members of congress to make marijuana illegal. Marijuana should be legal and besides, it would rake in BILLIONS of dollars in tax revenue. This is a no brainer!!!

The argument that taxation of marijauna would bring in “billions of dollars” is nonsense.
Like all things that are taxed, there is a level of taxation that drives the production of the
product into the underground, that is into the black-market. You could tax marijauna very little
before this happened because the tax would be very hard to enforce. Taxation of marijauna would
also nullify the other argument for legalization of pot, that is that legalization would
eliminate the violence associated with the drug trade. Unlike other products that we tax (like
cigarettes and liquor) marijauna is very easy to produce at home and very hard to indelibly
label signifying that it has been taxed therefore any taxation scheme would be impossible to
enforce.

Taxation is a market force that many people choose to ignore. They think that they can slap a
tax on a product/service and it will have no effect on the consumption of that product/service.
That is just plain stupid.

Chris, regarding taxation: i currently don’t smoke but have in the past and very much enjoyed the experience. i don’t use alcohol or tobacco. if pot was legalized and users didn’t have to foster and maintain relationships with drug dealers, or attempt to procure it on the streets, or obtain a prescription do you have any idea how well it would sell? i’d be the first in line at a local retailer and would pay the tax on it with a smile. i’m a coherent, employed, productive member of society. mj is emotionally addictive, no doubt, but so is pretty much everything in life worth while.

OK, SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT. YOU WOULD GLADLY GO TO THE LOCAL LEGAL POT SHOP AND BY
MARIJAUNA WITH A MASSIVE TAX ON IT. LETS BE HONEST, IT WOULD BE A MASSIVE TAX IF YOU ARE
GOING TO RAKE IN THE “BILLIONS” THAT LEGALIZATION ADVOCATES SAY WOULD BE AVAILABLE. CURRENT
TOBACCO TAXES ARE SOMETHING OF THE RANGE OF 100-200% TAX WITH FEDERAL AND STATE TAXES. TAX
EVASION ON ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO IS SUCH AN ISSUE THAT WE HAVE A WHOLE SEPARATE FEDERAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY (THE “ATF”) TO ENFORCE THE TAXES. YOU WOULD NOT ELIMINATE THE PROBLEMS WITH
PEOPLE ILLEGALLY GROWING WEED IN THEIR BASMENT AND SELLING IT. IT WOULD JUST BECOME A TAX
EVASION CHARGE INSTEAD OF POSSESION WITH INTENT TO SELL.

AGAIN, I AM OPPOSED TO LEGALIZED MARIJAUNA BUT NOT STRONGLY SO. I JUST THINK WE SHOULD BE
HONEST ABOUT WHAT WE ARE DOING. WERE NOT LEGALIZING MARIJAUNA SO 20 YEAR OLDS CAN TREAT
THEIR “GLAUCOMA” AND WERE NOT LEGALIZING MARIJAUNA SO WE CAN SOLVE GOVERNMENT FISCAL PROBLEMS
BECAUSE NEITHER OF THESE IS TRUE. WERE LEGALIZING MARIJAUNA SO PEOPLE CAN LEGALLY GET HIGH.
THE TROUBLE WITH THAT IS THAT THERE IS NOT POPULAR SUPPORT FOR THIS AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT AND
THATS WHY PEOPLE MAKE UP ALL THESE FALSE RATIONALS FOR LEGALIZATION.

Pot should b legal. I dont know bout u but id rather smoke a joint to alleviate my back pain than get blitzd out my mind on opiates that i could overdose on.
