Former U.S. Surgeon General Calls for Marijuana Legalization | Video

and K2, spice whatever causes people to od....
something is backwards here.
U go Frm Surgeon General. She was for pot while she was still in "office".
Boycott spice.....go MJ

Keywords: Non-violent crime. How many violent crimes are done by people under the influence of alcohol? Its sad how we put kids into jail and turn them into violent people once they get out.

I wish Ms. Elders were still our Surgeon General, especially with Nov.2 coming up

A 'voice of reason'. Unfortunately, 'voices of reason' are ignored, or spun into unrecognizable rhetoric.
I really thought when President Clinton chose Joycelyn Elders to be Surgeon General, it would be a step in the right direction. I knew her views on cannabis. Unfortunately, she made the mistake of talking about masturbation. Masturbation is a taboo subject in America too. Doesn't matter if it makes sense, some things are not allowed to be said 'out loud'.

Cannabis should be legalized and masturbation could lessen teen pregnancy. One can't really get pregnant from one's finger.

I agree that the resources can be in a much more positive way. I am a victim of the useless drug war.....but I do have to point out one thing--I was selling marijuana. However, I was only selling for a few months and than I was busted with 5 ounces and I had to go to near 10 court appearances before it was resolved. I live in Minnesota so I was sentenced to 60 days in jail (to serve 39 and on work release) It took countless hours of my counties time as it took 2 YEARS to come to consensus and even than we wanted to put me in jail for an extended period of time. I agree that I was wrong in selling but it was still a complete waste of tax dollars.

More for those who may still think I am a not-so-good person. I was employed with TWO jobs and was in full-time college before, during, after, and still. Arrest happened in October 2008, final sentencing trail was September 2010. I am now serving my time, to get out November 20th.

News Worthy Contribution, At the Level of Her Former Accomplishments this is a Great Endorsement, for Patient Rights.

too little too late

Maybe she should be president instead of the guy who has escalated the Drug War

Damn Hippies always wanting to change the way things are. ya'll don't need change any laws Ya'll just need to use the ones ya got in a manner that helps the Commen folks.

this shoulda been done 50 yrs ago,i really hate and despize our low life lying piece of shit government!the government need to be striped down and rebuilt from the ground up,far to much corruption.if u want to see a good flik on marijuana i recomend (UNION)its on netflix if ya got it! ,,!! o.0

Who keeps voting down everybodys posts? We should've been able to legalize it years ago but it's because of YOU people-who blindly vote down other people's posts for speaking the truth on the ideals of proper marijuana use and laws-that it hasn't been thought about properly. Grow the fuck up and if you feel the urge to vote someone down tell them why after.

Loser vote down troll alert!

Everybody get down!

well there ya go, can we fucking legalize it now?

didn't Obama already pass a law stating that federal officials have to follow the laws of the state they are in??? wouldn't that be braking the law if they didn't follow prop 19 if passed????

It is time we get our priorities in order. Marijuana is a drug that can help many people and that is why it is perscribed by doctors. Booz never helped anyone. IWhen booz was illagle, related crime and over indulgence were worse than even now. Human nature is to want the forbiden. And what one does that hurts no one else should be accepted into the mainsteream. As far as the comment obout masterbation, she is correct. Only those who are abnomally sexually repressed are't doing it. Masterbation is nomal and healthy.

fuck yeah..... but isnt she like 15 years too late

Legalize marijuana is too bad! Like this your kids will enjoy drogue in family

HOLY FUCK!
I'm sick of "former" so-and-so's coming forward and saying common sense shit they should have said when they actually had the power to change shit!

I heard about the pot vending machine while reading the paper one night in San Francisco and had wished it was here in Texas. I think it should be legal everywhere. That's just me, a non-marijuana user.

lets just vote her back in please. because i know who she was because she was the ONE person i REALLY liked in politics.

She makes a lot of excellent points about marijuana.
Too bad she was crucified for wanting to tell kids, "Play with your own privates, you perverts,"
These drug enforcement losers really like that annual income, eh?
"Please, Mr. President, block the proposition! I know there's overwhelming evidence that contradicts all the scare tactics we use, but I know it's bad! I just know it!"

Why, why do they always start telling the truth once they're out of office? Why do they always wait until they're out? Wtf!

Legalize it please, i mean its non-addictive, causes no serious side effects, (the only one i've noticed is sometimes it can mess up your daily eating habit) and you can't O.D., i mean you can get alcohol poisioning if you drink to much but thats legal, in my opinion marijuana doesn't even belong in a category with heroin, or crack. It's retarded

This is the db who told everyone to masturbate. Loon in office to the max. She needs to stay out of the way.

I used to be on the fence with this issue. This was the catalyst to sway me to be AGAINST legalization now. If this idiot is for it then there is probably something really wrong with it.

LOL, she looks like she likes to hit the bong on a regular basis LOL
