"Marijuana USA" new report on CNN, Wed 12/8

[Green lung]

I actually thought that was a very good part of the documentary. It showed that not everyone that grows 150 plants is a bad person.

A lot of people around here are country, from the backwoods, and I'm one of them. If I had goats I'd stroke em. I don't care who film me goat strokin as long as it's taken in the right context.

On a different subject. That's a problem with the world today. To many people forget how close they really need to be with nature. I'd rather live in simplicity than to live off the crutches society provides for the masses.

Let me grow my food, raise my food, and stay the fuck away from me.

I got nothing against raising goats! BUT you know all the jokes about hillbillies and goats, seemed to me the producers of the show set it up that way...maybe not?

I agree with you it shows the insanity of prohibition, repelling out of helicopotors to cut this poor guys plants down and put him in jail and what not.

It reminds of what they do in columbia to the Indians who grow coco. Afghanistan was the same way (before we stopped). Your out there spending all this dam money(tax dollars) trying to kill a plant.

RIP DR JAY

"Marijuana USA".....That was terrible! No one has even mentioned the Dr. that seemed to be high off his ass & couldn't stop smiling and giggling like a little girl. Also, they made a point to say that his practice made over $1 million last year. CNBC clearly was trying to capitalize on their success with "Marijuana Inc," but we all know that sequels usually suck!

I really think everybody should watch it again. This thread has been blowing my mind. It's like some of you watched it with the sound off, just responding to the visual images.

I don't understand why some are disappointed that the show wasn't just "WOO HOO POT IS GREAT". Who is gonna watch that show besides US? They call that "Preachin' to the choir". That is NOT gonna help!

Particularly in the last half, the recurring phrase was "becoming more and more legitimate thru society", and at the very end, it sounded "almost inevitable". At least that's what *I* heard!

Frankly, I thought Trish did a good job, presenting lots of pro-pot people in Dress Shirts, Ties and Lab Coats and no "wink wink nod nod smirk"! (And the one Dr. who was grinning and giggling...just ask yourself "How suave would *I* be with a camera crew up in my face, etc.?" Cut him a break.) And the Anti guy (KY-"we're winning")...Trish didn't have to do a thing except hand him a mic, step back and let him make an ass of himself. Really, that one moment was a classic, the "we're winning" remark, because if there is one thing that 95% of the US seems to agree on, it's that the "war on drugs" is a failure!!! Well played, Trish! Appear neutral and let the anti-pot guy discredit himself!!! I love it!

I gotta agree with this post. I saw the same thing.

Well, I'm pretty sure that I would comprehend the significance of going on national tv as a Dr. who is known for writing thousands of mj scripts & making over $1 million and not wanting to giggle like a school girl...it's hard to take someone like that serious! He has a responsibility, both to the mj community and as a Dr, to conduct himself more professionally..IMO.

 

[cyat]

It was condescending.
CNBC are vampires
They are making money off weed too, must be their most popular "documentry"
It kinda made me sick
Seeing the couple in colorado and how the show made it seem somehow legitimate because they payed a ton of liscensing fees friends of the obamas grease the palm
it's ok if it's wallyweed fuck the little mom and pops who can't afford to pay huge fees
If it's done by big business it's ok now
And if people don't know , some counties are extorting dispensaries in california on a weekly basis
Everything good gets milked dry, exploited and overexposed
Having the government regulate weed is kinda disgusting look how they regulate food
illegal to sell unpasteurized milk
pasteurized weed coming soon

 

[mule420]

I really enjoyed the couple, both ex military love it! They are however conforming to a ridiculous amount of conditions I choose to avoid... Since I'm in the area, I want to take the class they offer and talk with them. They seem like really nice, intelligent people with something to offer... Peace and puffs

 

[cyat]

live feeds to feds fuck that
It was good in a passive aggressive way only to pave the way for wallyweed.

 

[SmilinBob]

I don't understand how you rationalize weed ever being legal without 'the big guys' having their stake in it. You can't have it both ways.

You want mom and pop to be able to grow as much as they want as freely as they want without competition. It will never happen.

You mentioned the couple from CO and their fees. I believe those fees was 50k. You also compare them to big business.. A couple of entrepreneurs is not even close to big business.

You're right. Most people who currently grow illegally won't be able to pay that much in fees in order to compete. Tough shit.

Get an investor. If you can prove you grow quality bud with a low overhead; you will have them nipping at your heels just to get a piece of the pie.

You can't compare what will happen with weed to milk. Salmonella, E coli, and Listeria are a few of the microorganisms in raw milk.

Yea, there will probably be regulations, but only if you are planning to sell to the general public. You can't expect it not to be. Yea, in a perfect world the free market would regulate competition. We aren't even close to a perfect world. You will still be able to grow pot in your yard, and sell it to friends and neighbors.

Who is going to buy 'wallyweed' when everybody and their cousin is growing it next door?

I agree! I have my 5 and we are tight! Wally and his weed can kiss our asses

 

[crazybear]

I want to ask a very simple fucking question here.........WHAT IS WRONG WITH LIKING THE HIGH???



Everyone (esp in the States) is so fucking concerned with 'legitimate use' vs 'medical use' and ensuring only those with 'legitimate needs' should have access, yada yada yada....this Puritanical policing of the private headspace of the populace drives me fucking crazy....


Wanting to get stoned is a legitimate fucking use of cannabis IMHO.....esp in this crazy, hectic, impersonal and often depressing world we live in, it is totally 100% legit to want to chill a bit and have a wee mental break.


I personally use it for this reason often....as well as using it to help me deal with being bi-polar and quite batshit crazy indeed. Funny coincidence that it seems to be the getting baked that helps with the mental issues.......

Anyhoo, I think that all this crap about legit vs recreational use is a fucking load of horseshit.......the Corpo-Nazis are simply terrified of the concept of the general population smoking dope and slipping out of their control in any way.....same reason why LSD is illegal (and in the same legal class as heroin). The powers that be do NOT want peoples eyes opened in the way these substances can do....they would much rather keep their slaves passive and stupid with TV and tranks.

Nothing wrong with the high, I have NOTHING wrong with recreational use of cannabis! I believe that we need to show that cannabis has proven uses & to have it rescheduled as it should be as a medicine & then worry about about total legalization!

Strainz, I agree that it would have been nice if he had presented himself better. But this gives me a chance to add something else: I know this will be a shocker to y'all who think Trish is a pig, but I'm dead certain that there are a number of men in the world who think she is pretty hot stuff and would be more than happy to do her. I'd bet the Dr. was one of that group. After all, medical doctors as a group are not known for their social skills.

 

[mule420]

Little known FACT... Some payed the nonrefundable "fees" only to have their dispensary ripped from them, after 1284 passed. One after another, cities banned them... Sadly that was the death cry for mom and pop shops here... Sad really my friends are losing their livelihood...

 

[crazybear]

I was pretty disappointed.
I thought it was fairly negative over all, with trish reagans fat ass repeatedly acting all incredulous, and saying "that's crazy" and "are you serious" and basically portraying med as a scam to make money and get high by 90% of the people involved with it.

It had decent moments, but over all, not to good.

Exactly they only showed one person that explained his use of MMJ that I can remember anyway & the Dr. like it was just good business! the researcher that said MMJ may have medical uses but there needs to be more research done! WTF! There has been a lot of research done in other countries that's how come there is Sativex, the show didn't even bring up that or Marinol!

Lol...true that!

I haven't watched it yet. Went to bed early last night. Came home from work today with it on my DVR.

Hint: Put "marijuana" as a search term on your DVR. Anything cannabis related that is on satellite gets recorded no matter what time or channel, and I never have to look for it.

 

[JohnnyATL]

idk if this will work, but Justin.tv has live streams of cnbc that run. Im gonna tune in and see if it works

 

[Anti]

And the Anti guy

Huh? What'd I do? I wasn't even in that video!
