    Are they referring to getting "high" or using the oil as a medicine? She was talking about a kid in school using it. The oil does not make you "high". If you mean letting kids in school smoke a blunt, forget it.



  2. King Cesar on May 17, 2019 at 7:14 pm

    Cbd has no thc which is the psychoactive part of the cannabis also known as marijuana. Which treats pain also look up camp oil.



  3. TheSweetPerry on May 17, 2019 at 7:14 pm

    I agree with the guy. Use FDA approved drugs, they are safer and have gone through a series of tests.



  4. R GENE on May 17, 2019 at 7:15 pm

    I agree with Mom! I started smoking pot at 15 years old and I am retired licensed professional. It saved me from chronic pain from a childhood injury with my horse. I agree with allowing the research to go forward!



  5. Miguel Fierro on May 17, 2019 at 7:19 pm

    The side affects are hungry, happy and sleepy most of the time it’s not that order but that I can member most of the time



  6. King Cesar on May 17, 2019 at 7:19 pm

    Where are the studies to claim that it has the bad side effects to breain development?



  7. Dave S on May 17, 2019 at 7:19 pm

    I’m for and against marijuana. If adults want to smoke it to get high that’s their business as long as I don’t have to smell it. So I’m against it being smoked in public.



  8. Joyce S. on May 17, 2019 at 7:19 pm

    Why is this guy debating the issue. He is not approved, lol. Put a doctor on the show.



  9. RastaRyaNurse on May 17, 2019 at 7:23 pm

    doesn’t sound too christian to me.



  10. Ray Kehr on May 17, 2019 at 7:23 pm

    So right it shouldn’t be a schedule one. Alcohol is way fucking worse. Least you can drive smoking weed, you can’t drive drinking.



  11. randymh on May 17, 2019 at 7:24 pm

    Somebody shoot this guy quickly



  12. Kira de La Rochefoucauld on May 17, 2019 at 7:25 pm

    This Granny’s been toking 45 years. in basic perfect health all my life. no meds. no vaccines. I can kick down doors at 62.



  13. David Brandenburg on May 17, 2019 at 7:26 pm

    the FDA spent 30 years trying to shut down Doctor Stanislaw Burzynski down in Houston Texas, because he has a unsanctioned cure for several types of cancer and Big Pharma wanted him out of business. it took 2 presidents and an act of congress to make them back off, now he can only practice in Houston, TX. and he can’t take any kind of government money so if you got a hundred grand, he can cure almost any cancer especially brain cancer in kids with out messing up the pituitary gland leaving them to get old in a child’s body!.



  14. David Brandenburg on May 17, 2019 at 7:26 pm

    you mean the science that the government has been using to prove there is no medical use for marijuana, or the science they use to try to slow down the legalization movement. so they can make as much profit off of medical patients as they can, just like big pharma does with cancer patients!.



  15. Dallas Davis on May 17, 2019 at 7:27 pm

    does she even say what her kid needs it for ? or is it so she doesnt get bothered by her kid and the school is a babysitter for her ?



  16. K P on May 17, 2019 at 7:27 pm

    Jeffery wants your children to keep taking those opioids his donors supply. If my child was sick prescription drugs would be the last option. Man made drugs God made cannabis.



  17. Hard Truth on May 17, 2019 at 7:29 pm

    The Federal Dumb Asses are too busy putting big pharma poison on the market and killing people with it to look into a natural plant medication. Typical government.



  18. The Traveler on May 17, 2019 at 7:30 pm

    We have no idea about mixing weed with other medications? Yeah right. No one in history has ever smoked weed while on other medication. Brilliant statement fuckstick!



  19. TheAxzom on May 17, 2019 at 7:31 pm

    NO IDEA WHAT THE SIDE EFFECTS ARE!?!?!?! THE WORLD IS CRAZY



  20. Ross Meldrum on May 17, 2019 at 7:31 pm

    So whats next on the "whats best for you agenda" eating cow manure?



  21. Yuge Star on May 17, 2019 at 7:35 pm

    This guy jeffrey hunt is a religious freak who isnt actually using science he’s using anecdotal evidence of his own marijuana use when he was a teen.



  22. Mook aton on May 17, 2019 at 7:35 pm

    I smoked weed all through Jr High and High school….My point? The argument is retarded. Kids are already bringing tons of pot into schools whether you like it or not.



  23. ThrummerOfLove on May 17, 2019 at 7:36 pm

    Cannabis overdose deaths in the past 10,000 years: 0 .



  24. Bob 7 on May 17, 2019 at 7:37 pm

    My school let me take my ADHD medicine called Ritalin!! to school I don’t see the difference!



  25. david fidowicz on May 17, 2019 at 7:37 pm

    it should not be reschedualed as a schedual 2… it should be schedual 4



  26. David Brandenburg on May 17, 2019 at 7:38 pm

    don’t buy any disposable vape pens by natures grace and wellness in illinois, as they claim they are 200mg but are really only 100 mg because the reservoir is half filled with a clear silicone so you can see through the sight slot, they filled the tube half way full laying on its side with silicone so that the tube looks full but is only half full!. I bought a 1000mg syringe and it has, 10 times the oil the 200mg vape pen has which tells me they are screwing their customers.



  27. FAZ3 Chicken on May 17, 2019 at 7:38 pm

    Legalize it studt it for all who wants it is it cigarets tha cause cancer or alcahol that cause liver disease or opiates that causr kidney or liver diease legalize it wat are there reason oh its not big pharm or well you get the point



  28. american maniac on May 17, 2019 at 7:38 pm

    It’s plenty of non-FDA approved medicine that’s on the stores right now read the fine print and all the commercials too stop judging people for smoking it’s our body we should do what we want “this is Supposedly a free country” 🤨🧐💯🌳💨😌



  31. MAGA TRUMP20/20 on May 17, 2019 at 7:43 pm

    Well if it works the government don’t want used. They want use dependent on FDA approved pills that don’t work .



  32. Reggie Abernethy on May 17, 2019 at 7:44 pm

    The FDA says a lot of things. Blah blah blah….this is only an issue because pharmaceutical companies don’t have a monopoly on marijuana. Big Pharma owns the FDA and Jeff Sessions is a dinosaur.



  33. TheAxzom on May 17, 2019 at 7:46 pm

    Debate makes my stomach hurt



  34. King Cesar on May 17, 2019 at 7:46 pm

    Israel has been studying this for over 60 years and it’s quite the opposite it has wonderful effects positive effects do your own research look up how many overdoses have occurred from it 0 versus any other opiate or just talk about how many deaths versus drugs alcohol or smoking or maybe even from all the cholesterol that is being consumed causing heart attack even caffeine has a thousand over cannabis deaths. Cannabis is a much better choice for anxiety for pain for sleep and many other things versus all the other drugs combined. Look up sativa look up CBD and look up indica and Heather’s many mixes how many different strains and how they all do many different things to our cannabinoid system that is in our body once again do your research please then you will be happy about what a wonderful thing this is for us not to account for the financial and to get illegal drugs out the streets. At least lower the exposure of illegal drugs that are not being taxed . Big Pharma does not want cannabis to take over. I am happy I did my research now I am happy that I am invested into a bunch of stocks that are making me a lots of money where it’s federally legal Canada and can’t wait for it to get here for now I just day trade them or swing trade them in the US until it becomes federally legal then I will happily hold them and be filthy rich with the rest who got it in early. Please do your own research



  35. big country on May 17, 2019 at 7:51 pm

    The FDA is in the Pharmaceutical Industries pocket. It’s about MONEY.



  36. Philip Thon on May 17, 2019 at 7:54 pm

    I’m a disabled Veteran with a very painful spinal injury. I spent years taking their FDA approved pills and narcotics and was an absolute zombie and an addicted zombie at that. In 2008, I got my medical cannabis card and it’s been an absolute miracle. I even used it as an aid to get off all of the opiates and other addictive medicines that the doctors were pushing. It helped with the horrible withdrawal symptoms. I have a caregiver who provides me with this medication free of charge in exchange for my plaint rights and they then sell the excess to a local dispensary in order to make their money back. Everything that I get is lab tested and I am provided each month with a lab report which tells me the medicine’s potency and purity. When was the last time you got a report like that with the pills the doctors gave you?



  37. GalaxyTraveler on May 17, 2019 at 7:56 pm

    "we have no idea what the side effects are to it. we have no idea what the long term effects are"
    Same can be said about GMO’s but that doesn’t seem to stop Monsanto and the FDA’s approval, and that is a MUCH more serious thing.



  38. ThrummerOfLove on May 17, 2019 at 7:57 pm

    A little CBD oil, possibly with THC-A is FAR preferable to those horrible SSRI, and Ritalin.



  39. name less on May 17, 2019 at 7:58 pm

    This dipshit does not know what the hell he is talking about….i smoked ALOT of bud when i was younger and my IQ is 120 (as if IQ really matters)



  40. Unwited Stwates of Amewika on May 17, 2019 at 7:58 pm

    To be honest, its hilarious how we’re all at each others throats about politics, but when it comes to legalizing weed everyone gets all chill and agrees to one thing.



  41. Dusk Renegade on May 17, 2019 at 7:59 pm

    I love Illinois, I never had a problem with this state I may end up building a second home there



  42. James McDermott on May 17, 2019 at 8:00 pm

    Already plenty of marijuana in the school. For patients use, Marinol, or oils should be used. I wonder if my doctor approved 2 glasses of wine daily, if that should be allowed also? If a student is impaired by any medication, they do not belong in school, or operating a motor vehicle, or machinery. Insurance regulations will be the defining source for liability and safety concerns. Pushing this will probably cause those children to be removed from school for their safety and the safety and security of others.



  43. ThrummerOfLove on May 17, 2019 at 8:02 pm

    That guy is a true believer. In oppressive corrupt government. Of course we’d prefer not to give Cannabis products to Kids. But uncontrolled seizures are devastating to young brains.



  44. GetTheSmoke _87 on May 17, 2019 at 8:03 pm

    This Jeffery Hunt dumbass just said there’s proof of long term detrimental early use of marijuana that can cause bad brain development but then says they have no idea what the side affects are!! Just because it’s not FDA approved! So what do you gotta say about natural supplements then? That you have no idea what the affects are? Because those are not FDA approved either! But have been remarkable for millions and millions of people and we still sell and use natural supplements every single day including myself! In my opinion it’s the crap that it is approved my the FDA that has numerous side affects yet we still prescribe that crap to everyone and some actually do cause detrimental development!! You got kids with Siezures that are just new borns and prescribing them benzos!!! And people are figuring out all over the world that this is not safe and that people have switched to medicinal marijuana in place of these prescriptions and these children can actually go outside and be a normal kids and experience things they never have before because of Marijuana!!! It makes me so angry people can take opiates and benzos and all these synthetic drugs but it’s not ok to ingest something that’s natural and ACTUALLY F**CKING WORKS!!! YOU ARE A BUNCH OF PU*SIES AND HAVE SOME NERVE!!!!



  45. killercaos123 on May 17, 2019 at 8:04 pm

    We live in a crazy time:

    When Fox News is actually "warming up" to the idea do medical marijuana. Crazy! lol



  46. David Brandenburg on May 17, 2019 at 8:05 pm

    now we need a law that protects us from the growers greed, like taking all the leaves off a plant and calling them trim. so you can sell it as shake with only about 30% actual bud in it!. this is supposed to be medicine so why do they add trash to some thing, they are selling to sick and disabled and the terminally ill. oh I know they claim its for baking but they are still screwing their patients by selling them the leaves of the plant which are not supposed to be smoked!!!. I have copd and emphysema along with a couple other bad diseases, and I cant afford to use the top shelf stuff they have so I buy shake to smoke, because its all that most disabled and poor can afford at 200 dollars an once and the cheapest they have!. all the grower is doing is taking advantage of the poor and sick like every greedy corporation always does!. beware of natures grace and wellness and cresco labs, as they put more leaves in your smoke than the rest do.

    The human brain is not fully developed till the age of 25.



  48. Blessed Awareness Through Prayer on May 17, 2019 at 8:07 pm

    Dare you doc to say that to a parent who’s child has multiple seizures or cancer and the doctor ran out of options . Say that to a Parkinson’s patient. Say that to an MS patient. Say that to the people who are still living after having stage 4 liver cancer. Say that to someone who no longer has a brain tumor, some are bio-chemists.



  49. maha bharat on May 17, 2019 at 8:08 pm

    In India pot is part of Hinduism. I don’t smoke, vegetarian, don’t drink so my friends wanted me to do something crazy. But I was always alert about this and that is any one of my friends trying to mix beer, meat, eggs etc in my food . But one day they fooled me and gave me pot through Bhang. Once it started to show up its effects on me, half of dozen friends started rolling on floor because of my creative crazyness for almost 3 hours. I am not taken pot since then. But it changed my attitude towards pot. Pot is great.



  50. Low Tek on May 17, 2019 at 8:08 pm

    Go recreational or there will be a mass exodus from this state in 2019. And then there will be hardly anyone left to tax and squeez dry, I can promise you that. Wallow in poverty and sickness. You’ve done it. to your own people
