    That female anchor had nothing science based to support her claim, acting like an angry soccer mom. We get it, smoke in your lungs is bad. What about the carbon monoxide on the freeways, the crazy free radicals that does to your body? There’s just so much to say about our everyday life that effects us, and to make an ignorant comment as she did just shows how ignorant it gets to the top. The FDA? C’mon, pleeeeeease.

    Why didn’t he shut her down with facts instead of agreeing with her



  4. Avery Harker on June 23, 2019 at 1:59 pm

  5. Craig James on June 23, 2019 at 2:00 pm

    CNBC are idiots



  6. Horses in the Back on June 23, 2019 at 2:04 pm

    Show me anybody who died from weed use. An overdose, a cancer patient, anybody. You can’t cuz they don’t exist. Stop pushing your bullshit on America we don’t need your lies.



  7. ConnAndMally Rogers on June 23, 2019 at 2:08 pm

    I hate stupid talking heads like these three jokes of human society. If smoking it is bad and that’s why it’s illegal then make cigs illegal. Or vaping. Or fireplaces and campfires. That’s smoke that is inhaled. Those douche bags should really do research rather than pop off about stuff they know nothing about.



  8. GROOVE ECHO on June 23, 2019 at 2:09 pm

    Wow. That woman is ignorant.



  9. FinessinYoung23 on June 23, 2019 at 2:09 pm

    It’s a plant that God put on dis dam plant. There are medical benefits and it could cure cancer so they need to get on the study of figuring out what it’s good for No mother fucker has died. The only dam way u can die from pot is If a FBI jet flys by and they drop 100 pound drop out the plane and hits you in the fucking head so let’s consider the legalization of a harmful plant



  10. Ricky Hand on June 23, 2019 at 2:10 pm

    Legalize



  11. Carl Parish on June 23, 2019 at 2:11 pm

    The last time I smoke pot was back during the 1970s. Marijuana makes you extremely hungry and make music sound extremely clear and precise clarity.



  12. Dennis on June 23, 2019 at 2:11 pm

    Weed should be legal now, it’s a shame still illegal



  13. Casey Mathews on June 23, 2019 at 2:12 pm

    Smoking anything is bad.. lol

    Bitch, so what if it is "bad" like you say. That doesn’t mean a person’s life should be ruined by throwing them into a fucking cage for smoking a plant. It’s beyond me how people like her still think this way about cannabis.



  14. Kirk Ford on June 23, 2019 at 2:13 pm

    I loved when he set her straight on the vaporizer s and edibles lol she seems like she could use a bowl or two she’s probably just fronting anyway I quit smoking and went to a vaporizer five years ago but I still smoke anyway I say to each his own πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŽπŸ˜‰



  15. Willisthehy on June 23, 2019 at 2:13 pm

    Who is that libtard women



  16. Josh P on June 23, 2019 at 2:14 pm

    I keep reading all this BS about marijuana and violent crimes people who think this and believe this nonsense are uneducated and naive do some real research and don’t believe everything you read talk to people who actually smoke cannabis get real information real facts I personally have smoked marijuana for over 20 years I’m not violent when I smoke in fact the opposite I don’t smoke and drive I don’t smoke and rob the corner store I have never met anyone who was violent over cannabis most likely the people who are violent over marijuana is the cartel the ones making millions of dollars off illegal cannabis take the illegal part away no more violence over cannabis that simple make it legal at the federal level helps our country and hurts the one’s making lots more money than our naive government.



  17. James tao on June 23, 2019 at 2:15 pm

    Long term studies showed that people who smoked just weed had no change in lung function. People who smoked weed and cigarettes had healthier lungs than people who just smoke cigarettes. Fuck that lady



  18. Clinton Shorrock on June 23, 2019 at 2:16 pm

    INHALING AIR IS DANGEROUS. SO WHAT’S YOUR POINT BLONDIE .

  21. Timothy Ellis on June 23, 2019 at 2:19 pm

    Amen for this guy calling out the black market. Just remember if your lawmaker opposes cannabis they are anti-people in favor of corrupt profits.



  22. Tenac 300 on June 23, 2019 at 2:21 pm

    no difference between weed and ice



  23. Dave Smith on June 23, 2019 at 2:21 pm

  24. Solar Heavy on June 23, 2019 at 2:21 pm

    Mentioning Alcohol in the same sentence as Marijuana. Just stop lady.



  25. Abdu Allah on June 23, 2019 at 2:24 pm

    The dude asking him the questions looks hella interested



  26. Mpowers on June 23, 2019 at 2:25 pm

    They don’t like marijuana because it doesn’t kill people. They fully support alcohol and pharmaceuticals because it does. There’s no argument to regulate alcohol or even vehicles. Can anyone tell me why the average car is capable of 100mph? Way over the speed limits all over the country, over a million people die every year in car crashes but there’s no problem with it. 100,000 people a year die from alcohol and there’s no limit on how much I can buy. Marijuana has killed 0 (zero) people in over 3,000 years but it’s classified as something deadly. It’s obvious to me they like it being illegal so they can discriminate, incriminate and extort people. Why else?



  27. remedy light on June 23, 2019 at 2:25 pm

    Cannabis cures cancer. Siezures. Chronic pain. Man made cannabis illegal. Cannabis is a human right!!!!



  28. Rabies Babies on June 23, 2019 at 2:25 pm

    if you hate plants you should be murdered immediately



  29. MAsonTRIX on June 23, 2019 at 2:26 pm

    YT search my vid & song ‘Cannabis Overdose (HD) ‘



  30. Ganja Train on June 23, 2019 at 2:26 pm

    Great post!



  31. Josh P on June 23, 2019 at 2:26 pm

    The woman is a POS her and people like her are the problem of today’s marijuana legalization people like them that have no idea at all about cannabis and believe the stories they were told growing up time’s have changed people have changed and marijuana or cannabis is proven to help people



  32. sarge727 on June 23, 2019 at 2:28 pm

    why does this guy look like the joker?



  33. Chicken Chips on June 23, 2019 at 2:28 pm

    Tobacco had its run thru the 1900s and it was okay for humans to consume it in the public. Later, Its been proven that tobacco kills… Cannabis simply heals…



  34. remedy light on June 23, 2019 at 2:29 pm

    The medical community and government involved in the greed of money will have to answer to GOD



  35. Quetzel Coatl on June 23, 2019 at 2:35 pm

    smoke weed every day and build that geothermal energy plant in Yosemite



  36. Clinton Shorrock on June 23, 2019 at 2:35 pm

    WEED HEALS ALCOHOL KILLS. ITS A FACT.



  37. 686harley on June 23, 2019 at 2:38 pm

    Great time to be Canadian!



  38. Wyatt Cayer on June 23, 2019 at 2:40 pm

    Smoking anything is bad, lol. Cannabis is great for lungs, especially when it’s vaporized. People who smoke cannabis usually have great lungs for transplants according to what I’ve read. Even people with asthma use it to. I know it’s crazy, I would have never guessed until I did the research.



  39. Buck Reynolds on June 23, 2019 at 2:41 pm

    yeah but what about all the Private Prisons that will lose money



  40. Jhace Smith on June 23, 2019 at 2:42 pm

    Canada is legalizing edibles this October apparently. So we’d better hop on this train



  41. remedy light on June 23, 2019 at 2:42 pm

    The medical community is all about MONEY. They don’t care about healing you!!!! THEY ONLY WANT TO PROFIT OFF OF US



  42. Alex kaneh bosm on June 23, 2019 at 2:43 pm

    Eventually ?! …
    Eventually we’ll all be fucking dead …
    Asshole.



  43. Miguel El Millionetas on June 23, 2019 at 2:43 pm

    Stop playing in just making nationwide



  44. No Limit Arcade on June 23, 2019 at 2:45 pm

    Who is the idiot broad that insisted that, "Inhaling anything into your lungs is not a good idea!" Hey, Idiot Broad, the people with asthma that inhale their medication to save their lives – that’s not a "good idea?" If you don’t know what you are talking about and/or don’t have the ability to speak intelligently and accurately, keep your fuc_ing mouth shut.



  45. John Mcgee on June 23, 2019 at 2:46 pm

    And then the Cunt opened her mouth. She opened it with 0 scientific facts. There’s medicinal value through smoke. The flower is all natural. The lighter fluid that burns the flower is not good. There’s 0 carcinogens in the smoke itself. The question is does the smoke hurt your lungs. And the answer is likely it heals and is good for your lungs.



  46. Bryson Tanner on June 23, 2019 at 2:48 pm

    In 2016 I WAS suffering from a very bad case of PTSD. I tried several different mental health meds and none of them relieved my symptoms. Then last year I started marijuana and now I am 95% healed! God says it’s ok to not drink water all the time and to drink a little wine. I doubt a little weed hurts either unless you let it take over your life and let it become an idol instead of a medicine. It is possible to remain sober minded with mild consumption. The man made medications that I take that are legal are FAR more addictive and dangerous than this plant of renown.



  47. Tim Sears on June 23, 2019 at 2:49 pm

    Follow Canada I really don’t know y so many people r blind 2 the truth



  48. sioni90 on June 23, 2019 at 2:51 pm

    marijuana is a natural herb grown from the ground which is why its called weed. its just a weed. marijuana is peace love and happiness, make love not war



  49. Ex-Al 93 on June 23, 2019 at 2:53 pm

    To hell with states legalizing, we need federal decriminalization. My job involves dot, they prohibit it even in legal states. Nobody brings up the drug testing part and the fact that we are not lazy burnouts. We work, and we want this!



  50. Zen CaptureAll on June 23, 2019 at 2:55 pm

    Anyone else find it funny that there’s an NYPD officer outside the window standing there with his a police dog, eyeballing the Cannabis CEO.
    He’s probably waiting for his interview to be over so he can ….. you know the drill , detain him, for a random check followed by a probable cause search or something like that ….lol.. right?
