The Union: The Business Behind Getting High

[Mercy Medical]

This is quite possibly one of the absolute best documentaries of seen in regards to marijuana legalization. They presented all of the essentially arguments for it's legalization including why prohibition is the issue causing the drug violence, not the drug itself. I dunno, the editting to it was done fantastically and all in all it's definitely a video I would present to anyone who was opposed to it's legalization. You really can't argue against it when you're given all the facts.

It's on Netflix instant play at the moment, I highly suggest anyone with Netflix checks it out.

Here's the whole thing. I haven't watched it yet.

[Mercy Medical]

I dunno, I watched it last night and I was just astonished at all the arguments he was presenting. I've seen a good number of documentaries on marijuana legalization, but this one definitely is the best. It felt like he had gotten in my head and was stating everything I felt.

I mean, if you sit down and really think about it...we have this plant...this natural plant that probably has more medical and industrial uses then any other plant on this entire planet and yet it's illegal. It doesn't make any sense. It's essentially this miracle plant that can magically and naturally help with serious diseases, that can be used to burn as bio-diesel that has no negative effects on the environment...and yet it's illegal. It makes absolutely zero sense to me.

Two words: Pharmaceutical Companies.

[Mercy Medical]

Two words: Pharmaceutical Companies.
Well, it makes zero sense in regards to WHY it's kept illegal, but there's not logical sense behind it. It's all to prevent heavy competition. If people didn't have the stigma towards marijuana that they do and it was legal, I guarantee a good portion of the country would be using it for medical purposes.

I mean, they said in the documentary is that there isn't a single documented case of someone dying from solely marijuana use. It's by far the safest drug on the planet. When you think of it in those kinds of terms...everything in life has a risk. We're always told about risks. Even enjoying food has a risk. Something as normal and necessary as eating as risks...yet marijuana as a drug itself, has none (granted, there's the risks of say smoking and then driving, etc...but I'm talking about marijuana by itself). Personally, I feel like it's one of the biggest lies in the history of this country and it's honestly really sad to see what lead to it's prohibition was essentially racism.

[Mercy Medical]

Now mind you, 2 years ago I was someone who was very much against marijuana use purely because I believed the lies and propaganda I'd been told for the majority of my life.

I totally agree with you. I'm saying that Pharmaceutical Companies most likely use incentives to keep it legal so they can keep selling us OVER PRICED pills that permanently rewire out brains.
Also, in reguards to what I bolded above- this was based on Mexican immigrants, correct?

As well as African Americans. The documentary touched on it a little bit.

I think we will eventually see it's legalization. I think the internet and just the insane amount of access we have to unlimited amounts of information these days is prohibition's worst enemy. People are becoming more educated and learning the truth and there's only so long they'll put up with the lies and bullshit.

We can only hope. I personally would be needing it for medicinal purposes, but it should be available for recreational use as well.

[Stormtrooper]

There is no reason to not legalize marijuana. It will be legalized within 5 years (all we have to do is keep on revealing the lies and propaganda), no doubt. The government wants money and the facts are all there to profit off of it. I guarantee you will be seeing the picture very soon. Once people's ignorance is removed and they start to see the facts, their minds will change.

*The only thing we have to worry about is the companies putting nicotine, tar, and other chemicals into it to keep us addicted. But still, you can legally grow it.

Oh, I definitely agree. In the very, very, very, very least it should be legalized for medical purposes and industrial cannabis should be legalized as well.

The fact that it isn't legal, and yet California's number one cash crop is indisputable proof as to its profitability.
Point is, if marijuana was discovered tomorrow, it would be hailed as a miracle plant: medicinally, economically, and environmentally.

Exactly what I was thinking.

[Mercy Medical]

I think it's going to take the older generation dying off before we see any sort of legalization...sort of the same situation as the whole gay marriage bit. I think our generation is a bit more progressive in these areas and it will take the older generation dying off and our generation taking charge before we see any real action.

What about the immidate progenitors of the current decision makers of our country? Will they, by some contrived notion of, "keeping face" in the name of their family, uphold their father's/mother's blind "morality"?

Apparently, this is how marijuana packaging might look (http://topcultured.com/design/if-marijuana-was-legal-this-is-how-it-would-look/) if it were legalized (according to a few design and packaging firms).

So because you turn into a dumb fucking zombie when you get high, it influences your decision regarding a policy that the entire nation has to live with? You realize that in countries where Marijuana is legal, all hell didn't break loose? Do you also realize that even though alcohol is perfectly legal (though hands down more impairing), people aren't constantly drunk? I think you need to review what constitutes ,"common sense" ;-)

Nah guy.

1. If everyone "rolled around high", I think this country would be a little less hate infested, a little friendlier, a little less ignorant, and dare I say.....better?

2.) Legalization is not for recreational use. It's called medicine.

Besides what this idiot had to say, everyone else makes great points. Once the baby boomer legislators with all the "Reefer Madness" leave office, a renaissance of sorts will hopefully propel awareness of the benefits/truth of marijuana.

A little off track, but I saw this really shitty documentary on BBC one time about cannabis entitled "Should I Smoke Dope":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zurElIUyrdUzurElIUyrdU

I figured this British lady would set the facts straight, but she did almost the opposite. The parts you really want to see are probably somewhere on the 3rd or 4th part. Not really "fair" to have an amateur like her reefing the Dutch bud like she's Snoop Dogg.

then it's already legal, why would you be talking about the packaging of it if it was for medical purposes, but I'm the idiot...

LOLOLOL you are the walking sterotype.

I'm glad you think of yourself as the shit, and enjoy bragging about you're abilty to drink alcohol quickly. I hope you are proud. Maybe one day you will be able to get into a college and move out of your moms house.

I'm glad because I'm a realist you think you're better then me. Indie wanna be kids suck. You're life is no more special than the ceo's on the top floors and the homeless outside, but funny that you tell me to grow up.

a) He spends most of his time in the god/politics thread posting statements far superior to anything you have in intelligence.

When I was ten the DARE program instructor told us smoking a joint was the equivalent of smoking ten cigarettes...
I was thirteen when I figured out that what I was told was impossible, I can't understand how adults don't see through the anti-weed propaganda.

Beyond that, if most of the arguments against marijuana legalization involve the fact that it gets you high, what are the arguments against hemp legalization? [hemp cropping]
Since they can't use the same ones and all.

Oh I'm sorry you both must have voted for Obama. Way to be influncied by the media you're all so unique though.
I really don't think either of you probably know anything about politics or religion, nor have either of you probably taken a college course on either of the two, or a college course in general. But yeah you're intelligent.... I'm sorry I understand the basics of our country and you do not. You should probably make the argument that the constitution is on hemp like all the other ridiculous pro marijuwana 12-25 yearolds do. It's amazing to me that the media can do so much while convincing you you're thinking for yourself.

Also I have a job and go to college, and also live on my own, which is clearly more than either one of you can say. So before you try to decide what's best for our country maybe you should do something productive for it.

Oh lol. "If you haven't taken a college course on a subject, you are therefore unable to understand or comment on it."

Your English skills are appalling, how did you convince a college to accept you?

[mattmatumbo]

As well as African Americans. The documentary touched on it a little bit.

Although it would have made the movie a bit longer, i think they could have touched on this point a little bit more.

I think marijuana needs to be reintroduced to the USA, with people like my mom, grandma and their friends believing this drug causes many more problems domestically than alcohol, cigarettes and fast food, they need to be informed about what this drug actually is. Now if only the US government would admit to it's own lies.

When did this nonsensical shouting argument begin? How does calling people out for "not going to college" with absolutely no evidence an argument that pertains to the documentary the OP posted? I'm mainly throwing this at abcdefghijake btw.

I now see that I've simply been blinded by the mass media, and I should henceforth consult with YOU before I ever again form an opinion, because you, and ONLY you, can see reality for what it is. You're a boy-prophet, unappreciated in your time.

Feel better? Again, had I known you were simply looking for validation on the internet, I would have placated you long ago.

[GeeBee]

Omg He's Got Us All Pegged!

We're all officially "douchbags". That rhymes with "couch bags".

[Mercy Medical]

Sorry guys, can't continue this conversation. I gotta go to the local teen center to party hard with some 15 year olds at a sweet pop punk show. Be back later!

Please note that 15 is closer to 19 than 25 is. Just sayin'. Try not to let the mass media brainwash you while you're there, douchbag.

TOO LATE! They're already in my head!

I'm going to go put on my pair of yellow skinny jeans and 80s style, brightly colored sunglasses.

Forget that, I'm donning my tinfoil hat and retreating to Glen Beck's "capitalists only nuclear holocaust" bunker.

If you're going to be brainwashed by the media, that's probably the best route to take.

Sorry I understand how our country works. Oh no wait that's right you graduated highschool that means you're only behind my education by one year... Oh you're six year older than me.... SORRY:smackhim:

[Mercy Medical]

I honestly don't even understand what the point you were trying to make was...your post made zero sense.

Why not just stop? I mean, since you're OBVIOUSLY smarter than all of us, what's the point in descending to our lowly level? You've made it clear we're just idiots, and we've made it clear we couldn't care less what you say or think. Let's leave it at that and you can go find people to discuss the issues with that share your...ahem...particular worldview. We don't. Move on.

[Animalhill]

LOLOLOL you are the walking sterotype.

I'm glad you think of yourself as the shit, and enjoy bragging about you're abilty to drink alcohol quickly. I hope you are proud. Maybe one day you will be able to get into a college and move out of your moms house.

I'm glad because I'm a realist you think you're better then me. Indie wanna be kids suck. You're life is no more special than the ceo's on the top floors and the homeless outside, but funny that you tell me to grow up.
:-d I've been living on my own and working full-time since I was 17.

haha very true. He obviously is an Ivy League alumni, and the summation of higher education.

I bet you he graduated HS when he was 15 and is currently working on his PhD.

I agree- a Doogie Howser of sorts.

[perceptrons]

Do you guys... do you guys think he would sign my composition notebook?

[Crowe41]

I think this topic is hilarious. and every time it gets argued I get a big LOL. I smoke, and I am in no way for the legalzation of marijuwana. Just imaginehow inefficent our country would be if everyone was just rollin' around high. Common sense would be great on an issue like this.

Have you ever been to Amsterdam, where weed is legal? Pretty inefficient country eh...everyone just rolls around high all the time. Just because you make something legal doesn't mean everyone is going to start doing it, I'd even argue the contrary. If weed were legalized, not only would the government benefit from taxes, but people would benefit from having a regulated product that's not laced with who knows what. One less thing for criminals to push as well.

:-d As long as you have misspelled approximately 40% of the contents within said notebook, I am sure he would be more than eager.

[Crowe41]

Haha ok before anyone rips into me I'll watch the vid at the beginning. Got so carried away reading that guys posts I forgot there might actually be substance to this thread.

AWESOME.

Here's the deal: if this little douche bag posts again, all of us will reply only with, "Amsterdam is not a country". No matter what he says.

:lol: Agreed.
What a stupid bastard. I may be in the grasps of the mass media, but I still know that Amsterdam is but a city.

[My Broken Fever]

Also; it's not in any way shitty.

Also, to quote David Cross:

"If the terrorists REALLY hated freedom, true freedom...Amsterdam would have been reduced to dust long ago".

Excellent documentary, will be sharing.

[MyNameIsRoss]

I saw this movie a few months back. It is spectacular.

[pshh]

i got a referral in Economics defending the legalization of marijuana after a current event discussion. i told my teacher all of the facts from this doc, he didn't believe. after i gave my teacher a copy to watch, he apologized to me and said it was a great informing video.

[Kozzy333]

This documentary was fantastic. I watched it a month back and was blown away. This thread was also an entertaining read.
