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.

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.
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.
@Chriz Daman details please? Im just saying alcohol is ridiculously accepted especially compared to a weed smoker. Religion and law are the main factors behind this. The economic negative of it was a factor of law.
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 rly. I've had several experiences with alchohol, got very drunk, slightly drunk, or didnt even drink enough to get drunk, and didnt enjoy any of them. I love weed but it's not for everybody, just like alchohol isnt.
And ... for a me question follows, Can people actually handle freedom ... asking "to handle" not anything else ?! Is freedom being or felling irresponsible for your actions. But law and order at the same time disagree with feelings and personalities - which everyone pretends to behave like they don`t care … in ignorance.
@@dimitarraychev5357 we have laws against violence. If you can be responsible and drink alcohol then go drink. If you hit someone the law you broke is for violence not alcohol, same should apply with every drug. If you can safely do the drug without hurting anyone then go ahead.
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
Well it's hard to convince someone of a certain type of thinking when they really could care less about the subject. Dealing with weed is extremely low on his priority list.
I was 13 when that “one dealer” got me hooked on opioids. He had a college degree and a notepad that made it legal for him to get me hooked . It’s not just “streets” problem
He Didnt get u hooked. You got urself hooked stupid. The jagoff kid who made it available still belongs in pieces but u are in control of you. He didnt hook you you poor soul. He used drugs n got hooked. Who hasnt. U got better. Why go thru that an bs oneself
@Badge Man If you think there isn't anything wrong with drinking you may be suffering from a serious case of denial buddy. I have multiple friends that have destroyed their lives with alcohol. Don't know anyone at the end of their rope, with having to either except it and die or face your demons and get over the fucking hurdle with pot.
@@norankinsignia5195This is exactly he sort of response I'd expect to see from someone who doesn't smoke pot - I've never seen a mass brawl erupt into violence amongst a group of people who are baked out their tree
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.
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.
Woke up at 5 am, 5 bong loads down then walked the dogs for 2 miles, got home did 5 more loads and now I'm at work for a 12 hour shift, as I smoke my pen.
Define bong load, because damn bro, it sounds like you smoke like half a zip a day, no slighting you just seems impressive that you still work after that I would be asleep
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
That's weak thinking its better to solve something than wait we all know what will happen its safer than alcohol we dont have long on this earth waiting isnt a good idea
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
If you’re for both alcohol and weed being illegal, I can see and understand your position. But if you’re for alcohol but not weed, there’s no way to justify your belief.
He said the reason he doesn't want to criminilize alcohol is because it will never pass, and we already failed at that with the prohabiition. It would be a wasted effort. So that's in his defense; however, his argument for making weed illegal is still totally ignorant.
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
Dude says alcohol makes you get along with people better HAHA this dude has never hung out with 4 people, smoked a joint, and laughed until you start crying. There is never hate, only love and laughter. Then at the end of the night you can drive home. Fantastic

Couldn't look at my phone or a tv or do anything really. Although I may still take that over one really bad whiskey hangover I've had.
@@Gyoza-Eater Yeah bro ive never had any pheonix tears (didnt know that shit existed) but ive smoked and ate brownies. Ive never felt high the day after even after quite a few brownies.

And yeah being too stoned> being hangover (atleast i didn't throw up when i was too stoned, just went to sleep fast as fuck)
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.
Im from the Netherlands so i can see the pro's and cons from a legalised perspective and its way better to legalize for many reasons, one being empty prisons.
@@theexiledrealmofaffirmation Why? I disagree with Dan on this too, but hear the guy out. He even says he's open to his mind being changed so its not like hes unreasonable. Though it is pretty dumb to be for alcohol and against weed lul
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.

Legalization is also about decriminalizing those serving unnecessary sentences due to being caught with the substance. Also, it gives people with mental disabilities an ease of access to a treatment that would not be as expensive nor as addictive as pharmaceutical medicine.
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.
@Jacob ofc weed has a effect on lives buz most pot heads dont notice it ... all friends of mine that had ambitions now dont give a fuvk aboutbschool and only do the bare minimum and guess when all of it started .... when they started smoking weed . I dont think weed per say is bad but i thibk it should be illegal but people under 25 should be persecuted since it damages the brain ireversible .
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.

All of these “cognitive disorders” when you smoke before 26yo. But everyone I knew growing up we all smoked. And they all seem as normal and doing just as well as the people who didn’t smoke. If anything people who didn’t smoke are often nut jobs too.
I smoked regularly from the ages of 16 to 21 and have been suffering cognitively a great deal since then. Its different for all people. The struggles i've faced in recent years have forced me to face up to and challenge the notion that weed is a completely harmless drug. It is for some people, it may even be fair to say that it is for MOST people. But the damage it has done to me is immeasurable and what i have lost to it will most likely inhibit me for the rest of my life. The argument that Alcohol is way worse may be true, but the actual truth is that we dont have the data. If we knew in the past what we know today about the negative effects that alcohol would have on individuals and society would we prohibit it? or at least regulate it in a more thorough way? I think we have an opportunity to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past which have lead catastrophic and irreversible damages. To completely legalize and have such lax regulations around marijuana to me seems irresponsible and possible negligent. I don't have the answers or claim to just my two cents

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.

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.

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
If you’re for both alcohol and weed being illegal, I can see and understand your position. But if you’re for alcohol but not weed, there’s no way to justify your belief.
He said the reason he doesn't want to criminilize alcohol is because it will never pass, and we already failed at that with the prohabiition. It would be a wasted effort. So that's in his defense; however, his argument for making weed illegal is still totally ignorant.

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?
Very well stated
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.

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.

The thing that destroyed peoples lives when talking about Marjuana is normally getting arrested.
All in all, this was a pretty great civil discussion of "agree-to-disagree" done proper. We could all collectively do more of this...
In order to be legal we need to prove its "recreational benefits"... What a nonsensical premise.
In the words of a brave shirtless Celtic man with a sword “FREEDOM!”
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.

That's the problem. Cigarettes shouldn't be legal. They are so fucking harmful, and so is alchohol. Altering your mind is for nimble ninny nancies
@@bobbyhakel4074 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Marijuana bad. Scotch good. This thing became a comedy after the first 20 seconds & I'm an alcoholic.
Literally all republicans point at marijuana amd scream bad while they hold a glass of scotch with the other hand.
elspookso this pirate guy is a fucking idiot. And I don’t even think he’s ever actually smoked weed before. Notice when joe asks him specifics about the time he smoked he sounds like he’s lying abt it all lmao 🤣
@@kushpakk2210 he's straight bitching up. Somebodys gonna split his wig over something like that
@@ramsy4205 i see you watch certain prison channels and trying to act like them. thats kind of sad.
You ok, man?
I swear this video is about me. Filled with Adderall as a kid ( hate pharmaceuticals and the companies today). Refused to take them when I entered high school because I wasn't myself while on them. They turn you into zombies. I was (and still am to a degree) ADHD as hell. My mom at time would do what Joe suggested: either gave me an old nintendo to play or documentaries to watch on History/Science Channel. Now i use weed instead to cope with the ADHD but still function. Ffs, I smoke LITERALLY every day and am still able to carry an aerospace engineering job. ITS POSSIBLE STUPID POLITICIANS. Its possible to function with weed and be productive.
are you just vaping dry herb or smoking joints?
@@Wag1blad flower with friends, dab pens at home, CBD tinctures, you name it. But in moderation too. Too much can be detrimental I've begun to notice. Managing the dosage of those cannabinoids has also helped treat depression pretty well, because too much for too long I've noticed exacerbates it. But I will leave a note that it can vary person to person, as some products and dosages can have slightly different effects depending on your own chemistry.
“ YOU WOULD BUT NOT ME “ 🤣🤣🤣‼️
He never tried pot, he said it exactly like my mum did and I know she was lying
Lol
Is your mom also a sitting member of Congress who actually cares about his reputation?
So you’re saying he’s scared to tell the truth cause he’s part of Congress? Strange 🤓
Is this the fabled creativity you stoners claim weed endows you with?
You Don't Know Me if u saw his fat cow of a mom u wouldn’t be saying that lol
This hurt to listen to. I don't even smoke weed, and Dan feels really out of touch.
i mean Joe is right it is the propaganda that he is spewing, boomer
He's right about the effects on the brain. He's also right about the normalization of it.
CL Anthony Yeah, positive effects on the brain. And normalization? That’s fine. Marijuana isn’t a drug. It’s a natural substance containing not a single harmful chemical. So unless it’s cultivated in non-organic circumstances, being sprayed with pesticides etc, than it can’t do any harm.
@@theprophet_-__cxvii__-_8693 it inhibits brain development for up to one month. This means if you take it more than once a month your brain developing stops entirely.
Additionally, if you smoke it there are more carcinogens than cigarettes.
You sound like one of those dopey Californians who thinks anything organic is good for you and harmless. There are plants that exist which can paralyze you, shut all your organs down and kill you.
@@theprophet_-__cxvii__-_8693 If alcohol is legal then marijuana should be too. However, that's not because it's natural, many natural plants will kill you very fast.
All of these “cognitive disorders” when you smoke before 26yo. But everyone I knew growing up we all smoked. And they all seem as normal and doing just as well as the people who didn’t smoke. If anything people who didn’t smoke are often nut jobs too.
I smoked regularly from the ages of 16 to 21 and have been suffering cognitively a great deal since then. Its different for all people. The struggles i've faced in recent years have forced me to face up to and challenge the notion that weed is a completely harmless drug. It is for some people, it may even be fair to say that it is for MOST people. But the damage it has done to me is immeasurable and what i have lost to it will most likely inhibit me for the rest of my life. The argument that Alcohol is way worse may be true, but the actual truth is that we dont have the data. If we knew in the past what we know today about the negative effects that alcohol would have on individuals and society would we prohibit it? or at least regulate it in a more thorough way? I think we have an opportunity to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past which have lead catastrophic and irreversible damages. To completely legalize and have such lax regulations around marijuana to me seems irresponsible and possible negligent. I don't have the answers or claim to just my two cents
@@Colombiannut legalization isnt gonna get more people to use marijuana, they just won't go to jail for it, and you. See how you just keep claiming you have cognitive impairment yet you say it's immeasurable, who gave you what diagnosis? I think your just tripping yourself out I thought the same thing and I just stopped smoking for literally a couple weeks and everything becomes the same as it was, your just super self critical and when you smoke you judge yourself and any mistake or error you make, you just decide that that's a cognitive impairment but with no explanation, interesting
Dan Crenshaw really doesn’t know what he is talking about when he is talking about anything other than himself. Politicians like him have zero empathy.
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.
Look on the bright side. You ended up banging a fat chick.
Norman D and they always try harder
@@normand5847 they got some good pussy tho'.
@@thecenterleftlibertarian53 if only i found them attractive
No that's what abusing alcohol got you
“what are the benefits of pot recreationally?” well dan what are the benefits of scotch recreationally? bad argument
zoe His argument was that scotch wouldn’t be possible to ban, as Prohibition showed.
@@basketcase6999 as drugs existing show, prohibition doesn't work on anything
@@basketcase6999 nothing is possible to ban
@@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 cAnt hEaR YoU” durrrrrr gtfo here dude
I love how he had no response when Joe asked him why he doesn't like it.
He said he didn't like the sensation.
respect to joe for picking up the hint and changing the subject when his guest didnt want to answer
diddle9616 yeah i noticed that too that was good on him
Ethan Klein would've doubled down.
He should’ve just called him out on his bullshit
He's done this more and more lately. First time I saw it was with Paul Stamets and portobello mushrooms.
Bruh he didn't pick up on it quickly. It was obvious that he didn't wanna talk about his own experience from the first interaction. Dude literally had to make it extremely obvious that he didn't want to talk about it by saying there was a problem with his headphones 😅
It's always some mf who has "smoked" as in took a turn of a blunt in college once and got lightheaded now he thinks he can influence law regarding weed lol
He doesn't think he can influence it, he knows he can influence it :).
Abraham lol wat? Stfu
more likely this dude gets paid by big pharma and alcohol lobbies before he comes to his 'informed' decisions ;)
@Abraham he right tho stfu
Oh my god YEAH, even people who are just against it
>what's the benefit?
Not getting a criminal record. Also learning how to chill out.
Jamie’s laugh at 23 seconds 🤣
It still just baffles me how these people just ignore the amount of damage alcohol does. We all love booze, but be real. I've seen firsthand that shit destroy more lives than meth and I'm from South Louisiana!
Phil Leotardo he literally didn’t. Watch the video again
@@MM-jh6tf He said it's not harmless then he quickly swept it under the rug.
Phil Leotardo he said medical marijuana has benefits, why is everyone here ignoring this.
Kylle Epstein exactly. Hence my fucking point :)
@@MM-jh6tf I'm ignoring it because that's not point. Medical marijuana isn't my issue. My issue is that these people just downplay how bad alcohol can be. Control the substance don't let the substance control you is all there is to be said.
The recreational benefit of marijuana is...
recreation.
and millions and billions in tax dollars and less prisoners
brilliant
i salute you, sir
He wants to keep comparing alcohol to marijuana what’s the recreational benefits to rec alcohol...
@@juliansaiz5714 but also shrugs off the entire debate of alcohol because it’s “out of the bag”.. seems like he’s just found a vague talking point that sounds smart..
Yes and alcohol has no medical benefit
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
This dude talks like he’s never touched weed, then he skirts the question on how much he smoked
He’s a politician, he’s getting into dangerous territory discussing it
He said he "didn't like it" in the beginning of the video, which to me implies that he's done it and didn't like the effects, which does happen sometimes.
@The Perfect Gift Why do you have to assume that my criticism is an insult?
@The Perfect Gift How was that an insult?
And that makes his personal experience not matter if he doesn't say how much, it would show how much of a noob he is on personal experience
