“Ten sheriffs from three different states sued Colorado Thursday for legalizing marijuana. The sheriffs from Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska say that Colorado’s 2012 marijuana legalization vote…
Bottom line is this….if Marijuana becomes legal in any or all states, the
police departments across this nation would lose hundreds of millions of
dollars annually!
Whatever money generated from taxes from legalized Marijuana would
absolutely pail in comparison to the money that EVERY police department
makes from any fines, court cost and arrest etc.
Bottom line…police departments make more money when Marijuana is
illegal….not legal! Show them a way to make more money off of legal
Marijuana and most cops would be all in!
The states will lose this battle. Its illegal federally and federal trumps
state. We need to be consistent. Federal rights always trump state, even on
issues we don’t want them to. We need the feds to decriminalize it and
allow states to do what they please.
Amazing, despite record firearms owernership homicides are at a record low,
further, firearms are a multi billion dollar industry in America, but the
Democrats want them gone.
Hmmm, logic does not seem to go strong in party politics period.
Damn, first they complain about drug cartels, then they complain about the
drugs being legal. You can’t have neither, you have to have one or the
other.
I am white and I’ve gotten two marijuana possession citations… so stop
saying whites are off the hook and blacks get the strong arm of the law. We
both do, black people get targeted more often i don’t doubt but come on
John, be real.
I agree with the lawsuit, as you cant have states contradicting federal law
like this. That makes the central government completely pointless, and cuts
both ways, since the central government is supposed to protect everyones
rights regardless, hence the constitution and the amendments, which a state
cannot overrule.
However, at this point the case should be postponed and the central
government should reevaluate its policy on marijuana. I believe that is the
best call for what should happen. But, as we all know, politicians doing
their jobs isnt going to happen.
Cops in germany are actually for the legalization of marijuana because
right now everytime they find someone with weed they have to go through a
lot of legal stuff and prosecute it but at the end of the day judges will
let people go unless they were dealers or something.
So cops are for legalization because it would spare them a lot of
unneccessary work. Some of the highest cops in the country actually said
“we got better things to do than look for people who have marijuana with
them.”
I really don’t get why cops in the US would want it banned again. Maybe
because they can’t use the excuse “we smelled marijuana” anymore when they
want to search a car of a black person.
This shows how fucked up our country is, the cops should be there to
protect us, not gain a profit. In fact they should cost money, not bring
money in. Any money brought in during doing their jobs should go to the
state and local government, to be used on things that aren’t essential to
anything. (Like making the neighborhood prettier.) That way cops are
incentivized by the wrong reasons.
But it’s not about state’s rights. Constitutional scholars like Cliven
Bundy know that the Founding Fathers intended for the County Sheriff to be
the ultimate authority, while the Federal government is illegitimate. Learn
Liberty, TYT.
Those so called men of the law are only concerned with meeting quotas and
couldnt careless about the people they are paid to protect they are fucking
disgusting
These morons don’t or can’t realize that it’s not only republicans stopping
marijuana legalization. California is a liberal state. The people there
opposed legalizing it for recreational use.
Ana is under the impression that it’s only Conservatives that are against
legalization. This is how I know that Ana learned nothing in her political
science education at university. Drugs have ALWAYS been party neutral.
Both parties are pretty close to equal on both legalization and
criminalization.
The difference is that Liberals lean more toward medicinal use and
Conservatives lean more toward recreational and unregulated use. So, if
you look at the states that have legalized pot in different ways,
Conservatives are actually MORE on the side of pot users if you want to be
honest.
Other than that, I’m surprised by how right she is. Marijuana is a HUGE
payoff to law enforcement. With the decrease in all forms of crime,
marijuana is the only justification for law enforcement to pull in as much
government cheese as it does. It is definitely an act of desperation on
the parts of law enforcement to take such a hard stance.
They actually have a point now, as a state is willfully contradicting the
federal law. The point they are missing here is that as long as the
products are grown, sold, and used WITHIN the states borders it is NOT a
federal issue. Unless they can PROVE they are moving it across state
borders the feds can’t and should not do shit.
I liked this video until peach fuzz over there had to bring race into it.
Dude, come on. This is the 2nd video in 2 days when I’ve seen you do this
shit. We get it. You feel bad about being white. We don’t think you’re a
racist. Now please calm the fuck down.
(And just to clarify, I do think that minorities are unfairly targeted by
law enforcement, but I’m not gonna go bringing that shit up every single
chance I get)
Weed overloads your dopamine receptors with dopamine. Your brain
compensates with this by making less dopamine. Dopamine is the only thing
making you happy right now and the loss of it can lead to
physiological/health problems. This is why people say weed kills brain
cells, you make less dopamine, which also leads to less brain cells. I’m
against weed but am for the legalization of weed. Seeing a pothead in jail
with people committing murder is just absurd.
Can State Law go against Federal Law? Uhm, no. The Supremacy Clause makes
it very clear that Federal Law trumps State Law. So even if States legalize
weed, it is still illegal in the United States. Weed will never truly be
legal in any State until the Federal Laws against it are repealed, case
closed.
And yes please stop stereotyping conservatives I am a conservative that
does not believe in God and I am also pro choice as well as marriage
equality. But I do believe in limited government and firearm freedoms. I
feel that people should have the right to do what they want as long as it
doesn’t hurt other people.
The reason why Mariguanna use is down is the same one that was there 30
years ago — it’s users always end up switching to *harder drugs*.
Basically, Nancy Reagan was right.
Can we please just stop?
I like watching TYT and all, but they continue to be a big part of the
“left versus right paradigm” problem we have n this country and around the
world. Stop demonizing the conservatives. Stop calling them hypocrites over
the actions of a few. Cenk himself was a conservative before he had his
change of heart.
And stop reading random Twitter feeds from Joe Conservative who has 0
retweets to support your case. Anyone can grab stupid random Twitter feeds,
using that to support your case just goes to show how weak your case is. I
could find silly feminist Tweets and post those, but does that make
equality for women wrong? Or if I found a bunch of Tweets from black
people that make a bunch of hateful Tweets about white people, does that
mean all blacks are racist?
Just stop with the master baiting. Part of TYT’s success though is because
they are NOT mature. A lot of it has to do with Cenk’s ability to make
serious points, but to also be a clown and to provoke the other side. Round
and round we go. We will always be a nation divided with each side having 0
respect for the other. If both sides used reason instead of insults then
maybe our country wouldn’t be so utterly sad. Real reason without barbs.
You don’t always have to deliver reason and truth from the top rope all WWE
like. But it’s entertaining, so that is why even “progressive” TYT can
never change its business model.
Over 72% of the people in my state are in favor of medicinal cannabis but
our politicians don’t give a shit and our attorney general just struck down
a voting measure for legislation. American politicians hate freedom.
It is too early to really draw conclusion about the effects of marijuana
legalisation. What we’re seing are the immediate effects, the short-term
effects. But What about the long-term effects ?
Americans in positions of authority love the IDEA of democracy…just not
in practice. I would suggest that the people who these Sheriffs work for,
fire them and replace them with those that ACTUALLY believe in the
democratic process

The police main job is to protect it’s Citizens. And why are you Calling
your police sheriffs?
Stupid potheads deserve to be convicted.
Jury’s out, weed is the safest thing to put in your lungs other than air,
now stfu forever about it.
*Dope fiends are not above the law. Deal with it.*

The sheriffs just went full retard.

John, be real.
They can’t pad their numbers, y’know? It’s hurting their bargaining power
to ask for money for their cool new toys like APCs and carbines.
Didn’t the states legalize alcohol first during prohibition…?

Anyone who wants to ban weed should have to come up with a valid reason to
do so. Good luck with that >_>
These sheriffs will get absolutely nowhere with their suits. The tide has
gone out and unlike Bill O’Rielly’s tide it’s not coming back.
this is a losing battle and they know it lol:)
Sick of weed I want recreational cocaine .
Those so called men of the law are only concerned with meeting quotas and
couldnt careless about the people they are paid to protect they are fucking
disgusting
the legalization of marijuana for recreational use is inevitable, get over
it
These morons don’t or can’t realize that it’s not only republicans stopping
marijuana legalization. California is a liberal state. The people there
opposed legalizing it for recreational use.
More than likely they get a cut. for every drug bust, so now they’re
scared.

How about just legalizing it everywhere? That would solve the problem.
Marijuana is for pussies!! Real men use meth, ex, crack, dust, coke,
block, crystal.
Legalize it; once the initial hype is over most people won’t care.
They actually have a point now, as a state is willfully contradicting the

Libtards being libtards. Fuck your weed and gay marriages. Fucking cancer
of the world. Libtards love everything that’s retarded..

shit aren’t worthy of being “authorities”.
disgusting cops they should just sucker-up and jump aboard the gravy train,
‘All Aboard “

It turns out that there isn’t much to do without marijuana busts. I’m
guessing there income is drying up pretty quick too.
Pot has not been always illegal.

fuck those pigs oink oink
Cannabis use to be legal here in the U.S.. Even back then, there was no
epidemic of grotesque and problematic cannabis use.
Can we please just stop?

Totally unsurprised.

Better idea sue the federal government to stop the unreasonable prohibition
and bloody drug war.
