Joe Biden is so back and forth on the marijuana issue that he forgot exactly where he stands. Sam Seder and the Majority Report crew discuss this. We need …
Colorado has allowed recreational marijuana for nearly a decade since 2012 and medical since 2000. The science is in its not. If someone is in favor of legalization they will not be in favor of the lie about weed being a gateway drug.
Question: Mr. Vice President, would you agree that marijuana is the least bit harmful compared to all the other schedule 1 drugs and that it should eventually be legalized? Biden: I'd rather my son remain a crackhead than legalize marijuana!..
There is no such thing as "Gateways", only people with poor judgement and lack of self restraint. I have been smoking weed for many years as have many others I know and we have had no issue with going through the "Gateway" onto harder drugs. The only thing that's "Gateway" about weed is the fact people the world over have to buy their weed off drug dealers that often sell drugs like cocaine and heroin aswell. If Joe is worried about people moving from weed onto harder drugs then he should advocate for legislation so finally weed users can stop meeting with shady drug dealers that sell all kinds of drugs and instead go to a legitimate store like a smoker or drinker can.
The truth of the matter is that Biden is a crook and liar who refuses to legalize marijuana at the Federal level and remove it from the schedule 1 list. Their has been more than enough scientific evidence to prove that marijuana is harmless, never killed anyone, and not a gateway drug. Alcohol and tobacco kill 100,000 people each year, and marijuana never killed anyone, yet it is illegal. This is why we need Bernie Sanders who will remove it from the schedule 1 list, where it never should have been in the first place.
I am a recovering heroin addict. Want to know the first drug I ever tried? Marijuana. It is a gateway drug and nobody can say otherwise. However, alcohol and tobacco are also gateway drugs. I was also an adventurous kid and wanted to try everything at least once to see what it was about. That goes with trying new foods and hobbies too and not just drugs. Thanksgiving will be 1yr clean from heroin and life is great.
The only thing I will agree with Biden on (ugh, puked in my mouth a lil) is that yes there should be more research on weed, but not to make it seem as a gateway drug but to know what other things weed can be used for and help with. Remove it from scheduled 1 drug to allow researchers to do their things.
the pharmaceutical industry do not want to legalize pot because it will take away from their profits you won't need any more oxycontin, you won't need to any more anti-anxiety medication, and he won't receive as much money from the pharmaceutical industry for his campaigns either. If you think about it like that it's pretty damn disgusting of him. I will never look at Joe Biden ever again in the same light that I have been.
If you actually listen to Biden’s answer without pre-deciding that you’re going to hate it just because you hate him, it’s actually a pretty decent nuanced answer. It certainly isn’t nearly as bad as the horseshoe BernieTrump Bros are saying.
Makes you wonder, imagine if Harris was as Progressive as Warren (I know Sanders is the most progressive!). She would have walked into the White House.
Joe Biden should not be the be the nominee. He is an old Washington crony insider and is everything wrong with the Democrats. Hillary Clinton was a stronger contender than this old fool!
He disparages the favorite thing of his very strongest support demographic. lol… what an idiot!! And BTW black folks….., WTF? with the weed? ALMOST every black person I know smokes the shit in mass amounts every fucking day…. That’s NOT a good idea. You’re doing yourself and your race no fucking favors. I get that someone with a hard life imposed by systemic racism over hundreds of years may have been brought to a point where needing to get high to cope is “a thing”. But you gotta stop. Dude at my job got fired for stinking like weed all the time. There’s nothing good about. A heavily medicated race of people can not compete. It’s that simple. AND THATS THE TRUTH!
Christ, is he trying to compete with Trump's incoherent rambling? I hate to compare him to Trump because he obviously has some manner of morals and Trump has none, but holy christ, the incoherence.
The sheer cognitive dissonance of supporting the expunging of records of low level drug offenses, but also not wanting to legalize or even decriminalize weed federally is stupefying.

“Blow a blunt” – totally hip Sam

All these folks who make this argument don’t know the most basic rule of statistical research, that correlation is not the same as causation.
SCIENTIST IN ISRAEL HAVE BEEN STUDYING POT FOR THE LAST 50 YEAR's! MAYBE WE COULD ASK THE ISRAEL WHAT THEY THE HAVE FOUND!!!
WELL IF TRUMPKIN the BUMPKIN SAID IT IT MOST BE TRUE WE ALL KNOW HE WOULD NEVER TELL A LIE!!!

What an idiot Biden is it’s amazing how out of touch he really is oh my!

Joe is fucking done son
And yet the democrats seem to believe that Trump needed help from Ukraine to beat Biden in 2020.
The whole thing is such a big laugh. The logic you guys use is funny.
Releasing everyone convicted for weed is a pretty good step from a centrist though

What was the point of animating this fossil?
He needs to smoke sum!!!🌬🌬🌬
OF COURSE marijuana smokers, growers, clippers, and dealers, should not go to jail. Your son Hunter Biden smokes CRACK!!
Here's the DEAL, Joe, they've been Studying it for over 50 years, it's safe and medicinal.

How much do you think Bloomberg gave him for that hot take?

You are annoying……
I mean what he said was outdated and fucked up. But at least he said everyone should not go to prison for it.
Pot isn't a gateway, prohibition is. Kids see this harmless bud is ranked the same as hard drugs and wonder what else they're being lied to about.
So out of touch!!! Take another nap Joe!! Your putting me to sleep!
Who care about legal pot ?
If Biden wasn’t a past vp he’d deff be out of the race by now
No way he’ll get the youth vote now
Joe's balls must really hurt from all that fence straddling.

Wow yipee, Sam agreed with Jamie about something!
Marijuana = Gateway to my refrigerator
“We have no research“ and yet he acknowledges medical marijuana programs run by actual doctors exist… which is it, Joe? Are all these doctors lying?
