@@chuggynation8275 that's the exact sort of sensationalism that he was talking about. That innocent plant that is a hallucinogen and both people here agreed is not harmless.
He said he wants to see the benefits and yet likes alcohol. Why don’t we scrutinize everyone’s choices of diet, entertainment, sexual activities, recreational activities and then let a group of assholes decide which ones bring a benefit and which ones don’t. It never ceases to annoy me how people what their own preferences respected yet are willing to throw others who make different choices under the bus. In fairness, pot smokers do this to when it comes to other drugs and especially when it comes to alcohol.
There hasn't been much scientific studies on marijuana because it's been illegal. The negatives haven't been studied. Does smoking pot while pregnant affect the baby? Etc etc.
not ruining peoples lives over a plant that has no negative effects if you're a responsible adult. his argument for "normalizing" its normalized already. 13 year olds smoke weed lmao. The fact is kids are gonna do shit REGARDLESS, of the law. Its really just up to helping parents educate their fkin kids so the next generations are more responsible and level headed overall, not just with drugs.
Drew Tomlinson big money that's all and influence that comes with that money that's it, cigarettes and alcohol should be scheduled as class 1. no question
Benefits? There are none. The reason they are legal however is to control you by keeping you addicted, therefore forcing you to have to make money to feed your addiction. It's a viscious cycle. I used to work at a gas station and I had factory workers come in there all the time buying something that literally says "this product causes cancer" on the box. It just made me sad really.
I think marijuana should be legal but to compare how mentally impairing and physically impairing marijuana is to cigarettes is kinda silly. Especially when considering first time usage. Marijuana is a narcotic
I think that's called decriminalization buddy. Which would be fines for getting caught. People won't smoke more than they already do and they won't have to go to jail. I hate the pot army so much, it's like a fucking cult. Potheads all have some form of obvious potheadedness. If smoking crack was as mainstream then people wouldn't feel ashamed and become as delusional as Joe. All you'd have to do is reduce the bad reputation like they did with pot over the years. But the problems don't just disappear.
It's too late to make alcohol illegal. There's not much point to making Marijuana illegal. That would make it just as popular as alcohol, which wouldn't be good.
Joe you are a drugadict you are sick drugs are for weak people that can't handle his own mind and when marihuana is not enough then is coke and then heroin this drug thing is only for money is like food, we are addict to food and water and we have to buy food is a necesity you are adding necesities to your body that will harm your brain and make you a slave and dumer

As a Texan, Dan’s logic makes me question supporting him going forward. Alcohol is clearly more damaging than pot and his logic regarding policy is un-American. What happened to “the land of the free?” Wrapping people up in the criminal justice system for marijuana use is a disgrace. I say this as someone who has not smoked marijuana in 37 years. I respect his service but question what he thought he was serving. Policy?? Did we fight the revolutionary war to enable hiding behind “policy” in order to not loose a few fringe votes?
so i’m responding to this with a bong in my lap…. i understand the counterpoint to joe. he’s just concerned, in my opinion, with the lack of research and knowledge on how pot affects young people. it’s better of having strict laws to protect the kids and make it harder for adults than make it easy for everyone. i’m in my mid 20’s and i’ve been smoking for 10 years and the legality has never been a problem for getting my hands on marijuana
@@lyteyear2106 I see your point. But he's just taking the bootlicker stance imo. There's 15 states where it's legal and young adult use hasn't increased. It seems when something is legal, it almost loses its appeal to young people sort of. Part of the edginess of pot is that is was illegal. There's plenty of articles on this. Dan and people like him will never change there stance imo, but he's at least respectful of Joe's opinion. He just doesn't like it personally so he won't change his public opinion. Which happens to often. He'll even my dad in his older age, had a positive experience with pot. Something he never would've if it was still illegal in my state

I come from a long line of alcoholics. My dad was German. It’s tradition. I’m 23 and started drinking at 12. It almost killed me. I tried CBD on a whim at a buddies house just for shits. Then tried delta 8 and now I use marijuana full time. I quit drinking, am down 20 pounds and have never been happier.
I would 100% rather be a pothead/stoner than an alcoholic. Like Joe mentioned, alcohol being legal and marijuana being federally illegal was mainly an economic decision
@@ChristopherTheBanana Being completely straight edge makes people pretty aggressive. So id argue smoking weed or drinking occasionally is better than being sober 100% of the time
lol my father who was a drunk would occasionally smoke pot and it made him so talkative even more so when he was drunk. I just think some people shouldn’t go near pot, they can’t handle themselves🤣
My dad drinks a lot now. This wasn’t always the case but for the last 15 years. He doesn’t get angry but he becomes very annoying and repeats himself a lot. There was a period of time when he also started smoking weed everyday and he basically stopped drinking and it was awesome. He was chill and relaxed but didn’t last long.
Lmao I dont think this is the pro weed argument we are going to use 2 push legal weed Btw hope all is well and u learned from the dysfunction not perpetuat it
Dan is looking at the issue backwards. Instead of "why should we legalise it' we should ask why it's illegal. You should start with all freedoms, and only have them revoked when there is good reason
Yeah. He asked what the benefits are to society if it gets legalized, rather than what are the benefits of keeping it illegal (and i see no benefit at all in prohibition)
Agents of the state are usually inconsistent for a number of reasons. If i propose to a woman, alone in the forest, "you want it in the ass or the mouth?" Is it really her choice?
I mean its been around for thousands of years - weed has gone through the forward entry that you're suggesting and it was noted to be abused and negatively affect younger users which was dans point and essentially Joe's point as well. I think they both agree that once you are mature enough to mentally handle it there really isn't an issue. Dan didn't like it and Joe does, both don't see it as much of an issue for adults. Weed just is a bit more potent to younger first-time users and doesn't have the social benefits that alcohol has which is probably why its so frowned upon recreationally.
i love how he thinks that alcohol is ok but weed isnt. i knew people who died from alcohol and alcohol alone as a teen. I do not know a single person who died from marijuana. Alcohol is a poison.
well, alcohol is bad so why not legalize weed too? That's a classic fallacy. No one says alcohol is good, no one is saying it should stay, on top of that, that's not even the discussion we're having right now. you're just buthurt he doesn't agree with you and have nothing relevant to say so you just fall back to a bullshit statement.
Chanman21titans he never said that though. He said it should be legalized federally and give the decision of legalization to the states so the people who live there can vote on it.

Not really. It sounds nonsensical because the norm is nonsensical. To the mad man everyone else is insane. We do not have due diligence on ANYTHING, it is why as a society we have sleep walked into so many problems. Just because we have never had due diligence does not mean it is nonsensical to begin now. Obviously there is the issue of freedom and appealing to the lowest common denominator etc., but we must also be weary of legitimising things that may not be in our best interest. The more you socially invest into something, the harder it will be to rebuke it. So when you make the argument about cigarettes and alcohol well you get the picture. I think comparing the use of marijuana for thousands of years to the tobacco industry is a false parallel. It is not just a policy issue, we have normalised alcohol and tobacco culturally, yes alcohol has its benefits, yes weed will have its benefits...but do we truly understand the benefits of weed in recreational terms. I think the constitution is one of America's biggest problems, people do not want to think about what makes sense, their instant reaction is blind freedom. Blind freedom = anarchy. Anarchy does not need a constitution stupid. Don't appeal to the lowest common denominator, but governments and functional members of society should not legitimise ANYTHING that is counterproductive. Even if it is legal, we need to shape the discourse..the same way a glass of red wine may be good for you, but binge drinking clearly isn't, these are things we need to understand. We cannot have a free for all.
I don’t really think there needs to be any “benefits” shown or whatever aside from the fact that alcohol is legal and can kill you, even though marijuana can be 100% safely consumed

He is not arguing alcohol over marijuana. He saying, we missed on alcohol, when we legalized it and you cannot put the cat back in the bag. If we legalize marijuana, we need to do it right and not like we did with alcohol. You should realize, when changing policy, it's a three to five year process for the federal government. Once you fund that change, if you are wrong, it's three to five years before you can fix it and millions lost.
@@basketcase6999 and we can clearly see weed isn't possible to ban either. Unlike alcohol it's not addictive and legalizing it doesn't even increase use. Only thing the "war on drugs" does is ruin millions of lives putting people in prison who aren't real criminals and costs billions of taxpayer dollars all for no reason.
Delos What I meant was that people (as in a majority of the population) won’t vote for a ban on alcohol. People have and will vote against legalising recreational marijuana in some areas. Also, I highly doubt that legalisation would not increase use - if it’s legal, more people will be willing to “try” it at least, and I would imagine people would be more likely to use it in public and whatever.
I've never smoked weed, then subsequently gone on to get in a fight, get my ass kicked, lose my car (not lose as in "impounded", rather, lose as in "Dude, where's my car?"), wind up in bed with a fat chick, then show up 2 hours late for work. That may have happened on Jack Daniels. Just saying.

So far good discussion. One thing I wanted to add. I served 1.5 years in state prison and 1.5 years on felony parole/ probation for les than three ounces of weed. So now I'm a felon because of weed and have been one since 2016. Yes I broke the laws in my own community but just seems like prison for weed is a bit over kill. And I know I'm not the only one that has had the same type of thing happen. Also I still smoke weed I have a full time job I'm a concrete finisher. So I like to enjoy weed to relax at the end of the day and get rid of some of the aches and pains
Now that it is legal it seems really crazy to keep people in prison and to keep those criminal records. i needed weed for neurological pain and it was a life saver. Friend my brain a bit but better than dead

As someone who isn't a pot smoker, I would say that the reason people get so defensive of weed is because they have people arguing against it when it simply doesn't concern them. If you don't like weed, it is pretty damn easy to never smoke it or ingest anything with thc. So its quite easy to leave those alone who do want to do it. The issue is that people who don't like it also seem to be annoyed that others do, and they don't want them to do it because they themselves don't like it. Pretty childish in my opinion.

@@eewweeppkk As a pot smoker, you're on the money. That's the "freedom" argument for it, science and whether it's good for the individual is a different discussion entirely. And from what I can tell, the "freedom argument" seems to work for things like alcohol without needing scientific backing to prove it to be good or at least not harmful, and in the case of alcohol it's actually the opposite (at least once you get to excessive drinking, the same excess but for weed doesnt really exist, alcohol will actually kill you and the amount of weed needed for that literally can't be ingested fast enough) and still holds up. For me it's basically I see someone else doing things I don't like under the guise of "well it doesn't effect you and you're free to leave if you don't want to be around us" (I'm not a big drinker and don't like being around people who are unless it's the rare occasion I'm also drinking) yet when I use that same argument for weed, it's somehow less valid even though the argument applies exactly the same. It works the same way with cigarettes too, harmful as fuck yet you can do it cause we're free people.

Did you actually listen? He’s not anti weed at all, he wants to federally legalize medical and leave recreational up to the states. How is that anti anything?
Celtic Tim you anti weed if you don’t want recreational marijuana federally because leaving it to the states won’t change the fact that dispensaries still work under the table because they can’t get any bank accounts and people will still be arrested. He wants scientific evidence for a substance that has existed before alcohol. Also, if it’s legalized federally science will be able to study it more. We have weed as a schedule one drug if he thinks we should leave it there he is very ignorant.
Clearly had an open minded conversation about it and said he's not completely against. He just has a few unanswered questions. Hardly out of his mind is he.
@Hawaii 5-0 ... He's a U.S. Representative from Texas's 2nd District... So it makes sense being that he is from Texas, (land of shooting guns and whiskey) while being a retired SEAL Team 3 Lieutenant Commander military veteran. . . It kind of makes sense that he's going to need a lot of data and research on cannabis recreation. Personally, I think he's quite all right. He even says that his view right now is not a hill he will die on, meaning that he is willing to change his views. He's not there yet, but he's willing to get there. Like another stated, he isn't anti weed. Far from it actually. He has good intentions and wants to see that he goes into this with the best intentions. He needs to see data from all sides to get a bigger picture. I think that ultimately there wasn't enough time to get into all this. And that he was only recently elected so he also needs to watch it. He's a fresh U.S. Representative that was elected in 2018.
As someone who lives in Canada where it’s fully legal everywhere. It is so much better now. No more propaganda. No more shaming. It’s just like having a drink now
For most folks I think it really makes you have to face your own insecurities. It makes you face the things that you don't want to think about when you're sober.
Ethan Cha Fr dude like whenever I smoke I start overthinking and become paranoid for the smallest of mundane things. However it also does help levitate the stresses I have.
I just take shrooms to enhance neuroplacticity in order to mitigate any adverse effects of pot. Shit seems to work, I’ve been cruising through school while others struggle.
Crenshaw drank beer signed up for the Armed Services and got his face fucked up, now he has a career as a expert on everything Congressman who was wounded in battle.
