Transcripts
all right everyone after the breaking
news that I literally had to cover while
I was recording my first video and go
out and see the TV in passing when I was
going out to get a breath of fresh air
and we found out that Tim Walls is a
Camala Harris a lunatic running mate the
lefoy H I'm not very surprised all signs
pointed sh to Shapiro but uh in the end
she made a slightly wiser decision just
not a particularly wise one but now uh
we've got better news uh Ohio finally
has a recreational marijuana available a
bunch of dispensaries are opening up a
bunch of in the state um licensed and
regulated which I don't think they
should do my thoughts on the drug war
have been uh you know uh very very
transparent over the years I oppose it
completely I don't see any problem with
drugs myself disclaimer I'm not telling
you that any of them are safe or legal
or that they have any medical purpose
although science shows that they do
um but I'm not saying that no no just
scientist I trust the science um I was
more of a psychedelics dude back when I
was using things uh you know LSD and
musculin and stuff like that lots of
salvia divinorum I thought that was
great some people hated it but I'm like
yeah if you take a 50x extract and you
rail it off you know and you smoke it
like you would generally smoke weed
you're probably going to have a bad trip
because you're going to be blasted into
outer space for about 20 minutes um
you're supposed to start off with a low
dose of anything that you happen to be
using and then cautiously you you can
increase it potentially um that's the
way that you're supposed to do it you're
not supposed to I saw one video I think
there were these two chicks and uh they
were smoking Salvia and I think they had
a 100x extract or some crazy [ __ ] like
that I I never used anything that
powerful trust me uh I found that the
five or 10 was perfectly fine for me and
she puts it in a bong and she rails it
off takes a great big ass hit and holds
it in as long as she can and then she
just starts like going crazy uh and I'm
like well I mean there might be a reason
for that um you should have been more
cautious and of course asking teenagers
to be cautious with drug use probably
losing proposition so I'll just drop the
issue um welcome to the modern Century
Ohio yes indeed marijuana is not
particularly dangerous should it be
involved with like DUI Law yeah if
somebody's driving in they like blasted
on weed that that's a problem they're a
danger to other people should public
intoxication be illegal no I don't think
so actually I believe in nullifying
public intoxication laws both for weed
alcohol everything like that if someone
can really hold their liquor and they're
not staggering around and berating
people and saying we weird [ __ ] well
they're not causing any harm to society
they just happen to be drunk and on a
public Street I don't see the problem if
they get behind the wheel of a car of
course uh that's totally different what
if somebody's a crack addict well if
they want to smoke crack in their own
apartment or something like that they're
not doing it you know next to the school
again I don't believe in significant
punishments for what are essentially
insignificant crimes if there's a basic
like a a basic [ __ ] crime like
disorderly conduct which barely should
exist as a crime anyway and somebody's
like staggering around on crack or
something well then have him clean
graffiti for 10 hours or something like
that you don't even need a court case in
such cases I mean you do
constitutionally but uh you know just to
say look you know basically scrub the
graffiti or we're going to bring a court
case or something like that do it
extrajudicially uh why can't we do that
as a society wouldn't it make more sense
yeah here's your ultimatum I mean we've
got you dead to rights we know that you
were on crack here's your drug test all
we want you to do is clean graffiti for
10 hours you can do it over the course
of the next couple of weeks or something
like that or you know you have to uh you
have to uh tell kids at the library
about the uh Virtues Of not using crack
or something like that that's perfectly
fine congratulations to Ohio I remember
that years ago they were trying to
legalize weed in the state and uh I got
tipped off by several people about about
this it was an interesting case like
well we're going to legalize marijuana
but then if you looked at the
legalization bill that Ohio put forward
it would only be a handful of state-run
dispensaries massively taxed massively
regulated and it didn't make any sense
whatsoever I don't even believe in
legalizing weed I believe in simply
descheduling it decriminalizing it and
leaving it alone it's called weed
because it's literally a weed people
grow it people smoke it people and eat
it and turn it into Edibles and stuff
like that and there's nothing that the
government can possibly do about it
anything that is
sufficiently popular if you try to ban
it or you try to hyper regulate it uh
you know and and it becomes highly
expensive there will become a black
market and there will be one in Ohio
anyway uh based on the fact that it's
regulated at all actually uh but the
fact that there are dispensaries that
are being licensed and they semide
decriminalized it is better than the
alternative it's sort of like here in
Vermont here in the state of Vermont an
adult can grow up to two mature weed
plants um and I can't remember how
many little weed plants like sub adults
I can't exactly remember so once they
start budding it's it's a fully adult
plant there are dispensaries um and
there are private businesses that are
licensed um it's regulated and and so
you know you're not getting fentanyl in
your weed that's fairly important by the
way it's you don't want that uh in this
day and age maybe a little bit of
Regulation is called for I say that is a
classical liberal Jesus Christ but uh
it's it's a better system than what you
see in like uh for example Washington
State um I can't remember exactly how
Colorado system works I think it was
Washington State in Colorado were the
first if I remember correctly and uh
it's funny because I would have expected
Vermont would be the first state to
legalize it California stubbornly
resisted their Supreme Court back in the
2000s through ballot initiative uh
people said we want legal weed in the
state of California and the Supreme
Court there actually overruled it that
was back in the day and know back when
California wasn't far left uh I don't
see it as a left or right issue at all
though um it's sort it's an individual
rights issue should an adult they're not
they're not on a public road so they're
not endangering anyone they're on their
own property should they have the right
to grow and smoke a marijuana plant I
believe the answer is yes some people
will say that well that's degeneracy
sticks it'll make you lazy no no no no
no it doesn't make you lazy number one
it depends on the blend number two it
depends on the person and the dosage of
course would come into play as well I
don't see is degenerate at all how's
that any different from drinking a
couple shots of Jin or grabbing a couple
of cold beers on a hot day it's no
different it's the same impairment level
if anything the weed probably impairs
the average person less I happen to be
an outlier CU I blew out a bunch of my
cannaboid receptors during my spice
overdose I can't really enjoy weed the
same way that the average person does uh
if so I would probably smoke it
sometimes um I mean I I totally haven't
done that by the way anytime recently uh
that being said marijuana is not a
threat to society it's not a bane it's
not a it's not a sin it's not a huge
degenerate act that's going to cause you
to become you know I God I'll tell the
story again one last time when I was in
high school during my ta period And I
had a TA teacher that I won't name but I
really [ __ ] disliked I don't know if
she still works at the school actually
and uh we were handed out literature and
it was basically the story of Little
Jimmy and Little Sally they were both
grade A students they were wonderful
they were in love and all of these other
things Jimmy decided to smoke weed and
they broke up over it and then they part
separate ways and she goes off to
college and stuff and she's still the
prom queen she's still the virginal prom
queen uh just perfect great a and
everything else and uh they meet up at a
concert a few years later and Jimmy is
all [ __ ] up he is completely [ __ ]
now he's on heroin and crack all because
he smoked a joint and I looked at this
and I said and keep in mind I wasn't
using drugs at the time or anything I'm
I'm a high school school kid I had never
even seen marijuana but I'm like this is
propaganda this is [ __ ] and uh the
TA teacher actually sent me to the
office and I had to explain to the
counselor there I'm like look this is
literally propaganda this doesn't make
sense this isn't the way that things
work uh I've known people that have
smoked pot it has not caused them to
become heroin addicts I'm fundamentally
right and she has no right to send me to
the godamn office for preaching the
truth uh and and then I went to class uh
didn't get suspended or anything like
that but I just thought it was weird
it's people have these weird Hang-Ups
with regards to marijuana they think
that it's the devil's weed Ronald Reagan
told him it was a gateway drug and the
rest was history it's not a gateway to
anything other than eating a [ __ ]
Twinkie
dude what happens when you get high you
eat or you giggle at something that's
otherwise stupid and unfunny you know
you you laugh along with Kamala Harris
maybe that's what happens when you smoke
marijuana so congrat congratulations to
the people of Ohio your state has
finally joined the modern Century a few
decades late unfortunately that's about
all peace out
