It’s more than I would be willing to do, lol
lots of science to back up pot as a cancer cure specifically the Cannabinoids THC,CBC,CRB and a few others, look it up, the earliest studies date back to 1974, its not Voodoo just because you say it is… you should do some reading and by that i mean not read the DEA’s website
Better title… The High Court
Imagine if Judge Judy smoked weed…
I thought I was going to get top comment because I noticed it was 4:20 long but somebody beat me to it.
*Face-palm*
i think it would do her some good.
As long as the Judge never convicted anyone for weed, he is an American hero
Cenk and that win comment at 0:07 priceless. lol
me no understand, explain. :)
0:53 epic laugh
why is 4.20 mins a good or funny length for a video?
When stories mention plant number, they become meaningless. Plants can be 2 inches tall or 10 feet tall. When you want to find out how much actual smokeable weed is produced. The number of grow lights and wattage are what matters.
I saw what you did there
WOW like 30 days for all that weed, i wonder how much jail time a normal guy on the street wouldve got?
im certain they did.
I just Googled it, it is some sort of code name for marijuana
i would rather hang out with stoners, than a bunch of drunks any day
drunk are annoying as FUCK, stoners are funny as FUCK
Subtitute judge gets 30 days for 40 plants!!! Dafuq????
We need more “Hang ’em high” judges.
And less “high” ones.
You’ve been brainwashed by big cannabis, hippie.
Duuurrrrrr….
As a native Virginian (not to be confused with virgin), I fully respect this judge, and am entirely confident that all 41 plants were, in fact, for personal use.
Not shit else to do in this state..
that’s exactly what it means… why do you think there is violence in the first place?
Not true. I’m for legalizing weed but that doesn’t mean all the violence will stop.
41 plants for personal use is reasonable
For a lot of reasons. More reasons than most people could think of. I want weed legalize but that doesn’t mean I’m going to pull statements out of my ass and claim them to be true.
Pot wasn’t the cause of his cancer, nor is it the cause of any cancer, although it can be used to treat some forms of cancer, and no it isn’t vodoo medicine, like you suggested earlier.
Now thats a Cool Judge!
UPS teachers? WTF america?
yeah, the violence will stop
if you legalize all drugs, drug dealers go out of buisness
if i could get my drugs at a local store that sells it legally, you think i would rather go to some scrub on the street, and chance getting robbed or worse?
I felt terrible for my substitute teachers
she does
I had a high school sub who was essentially a janitor for the school who was in Vietnam and wasn’t quite right in the head. He called every student “bird-dog” and would fall asleep in class all the time. When he wasn’t sleeping you couldn’t ask him any questions because it seemed to confuse him and he would get this far away look on his face and just stare without saying anything. He was awesome.
30 days??? You didn’t misread years right?
They incarcerate you for fucking life. They might as well. A sentence of 10 years screws the rest of your future.
But no. Judge gets caught growing MJ several times the amount they arrest people for…. 30 days.
Fuck you corrupt justice system. Fuck you with an iron barbed wired rod.
clip is 4:20 long, good editing guys XD
41 plants is not a big deal its not a lot of plants at all its certainly not a “grow op”
I’d love if Anna was a sub back when I was in school
4:20 (april 20th) is national smoke weed day
You sound exactly like that one China man I debated once. Again: It is like homeopathy. It’s voodoo. Clear enough?
time of video…4 20 hahahaha
“High Court” would make an awesome show! All the episodes would be 4:20 long.
Young turks give a bad name to weed. maybe you should quit smoking before you broadcast because you always come off as a total ass. your points are ok sometimes but even when they’re good you presents them like such idiots who the fuck would care. You’re a joke.
and you’re right, it does happen to all of us lol
i tried to warn you tho
but marijuana is a harmless drug, research it more and you will find out for yourself
if you choose not to smoke it, that’s fine, just don’t go around spreading nonsense about it is all i ask, because it is harmless
i’m 37 years old, and sadly i have tried almost every drug type there is, pot, pills, coke, LSD never tried heroin, fuck that shit
but of all the things i have tried, marijuana is NOTHING
Ana’s tits …oh God Ana’s tits
Im going to that judge whenever possible. Get my sentence reduced significantly.
but most of it would be gone. like a germ killing solution killing 99% of the germs.
Way to many plants. Two per person of a hearty breed is all you need.
Yes legalize
The Young Turks video on Marijuana judge…makes video 4:20 long. Well played, Turks, well played.
