Video Exposes Medical Marijuana as Hoax - (shows addicts LOL-ing about what a joke the law is!)
A.I.M.ORG ^ | JUNE 30, 2005 | CLIFF KINCAID

Rhode Island Governor Donald L. Carcieri has vetoed a "medical marijuana" bill, saying it would encourage marijuana use and criminal activity. His veto comes as an anti-drug group has released dramatic video footage of a marijuana activist declaring that he uses dope for a health problem that he doesn't really have. The bottom line for this activist, Ed Rosenthal, is that "I like to get high. Marijuana is fun." The video has the potential of dealing a major blow to the "medical marijuana" movement, largely funded by billionaire George Soros.

The video footage, posted at the website http://www.sorosmonitor.com, gives the lie to the claim that we often see in the media that smoking marijuana is a legitimate medical treatment for people with diseases. Rosenthal, who was associated with High Times magazine for many years, is shown speaking to dozens of marijuana activists. "With all the talk about medical marijuana, I have to tell you that I also use marijuana medically (laughter)," he says. "I have a latent glaucoma, which has never been diagnosed (more laughter). And the reason why it has never been diagnosed is because I've been treating it (laughter)…But there is a reason why I do use it. And that is because I like to get high. (cheers, applause). Marijuana is fun."

The video proves that "medical marijuana" is a joke to those on the inside of the pro-pot movement who realize that getting the public and the media to accept the notion that smoking marijuana alleviates health problems is a major step down the road to complete legalization of dope.

I thought it meant the BIG CENTRAL GOVERNMENT could seize your home and your car without ever charging you with a crime, or giving your stuff back.

Oh wait, I remember. It means the BIG CENTRAL GOVERNMENT will allow States, the 8th Amendment notwithstanding, to throw people in jail longer for possessing X ounces of a plant than they would serve for possessing X ounces of plutonium.

By the way, George W. Bush is a liar:

Republican presidential front-runner George W. Bush says he believes individual states should choose whether to ban the use of marijuana for medical purposes, but is stopping short of saying the District should enjoy that privilege. The Texas governor, who in recent weeks has distanced himself from several positions taken by conservative Republicans in Congress, said that when it came to congressional efforts to ban a medical marijuana law here, he was in Congress's corner.

Campaigning in Seattle on Saturday, Bush answered questions about medical marijuana laws by saying, "I believe each state can choose that decision as they so choose."

Has anyone asked him why he...flip-flopped?

In tortured English, as usual.

I know he is a liar. I heard him swear an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

THE joke is the government owning your body, and telling you what you may and may not ingest..

And punishing you if you do not obey..

What a country..

Many recent studies find NO medicinal value from SMOKING dope. Even the active ingredients have been shown equivalent to placebo in pill form.

The studies are beside the point. The point is that if you can't determine what can and can't go into your own body, you are not a free man, you are a slave of the state which has made those decisions for you.

What's the big surprise here?
The addicts were high-fiving and LOL-ing the day after the "medical marijuana" initiative passed in California. It was no big secret and their pictures were reprinted in every major newspaper in the state.

Didn't seem to matter. I have never bought into the "medical marijuana" sham.

I'm not corrupting science. There's plenty of evidence of the medicinal value of pot. Studies that come from a pharmaceutical company whose profits would suffer from legalization, or are sponsored by a prohibitionist government agency, hold no weight with me.
