@@dalewilkins8412 Even if so! You could still have a safe amount of that hypothetical 99% extract! Or, if a problem, just require businesses to only sell that product in small-dosages, equivalent to the amount of thc in a regular joint. You get what i mean? Morphine is 100 times stronger than codeine, but medically we still use both - just at different dosages. A drug being 'stronger' than another does not mean we need to ban it. No reason to think any differently about thc percentages - Different percent of THC? Use it for different uses, Sell/prescribe it in different dosages. Problem solved. He ,instead, framed the issue like that, presumably out either: An embarrassing amount of ignorance for a drug tsar - or far more likely - Out of an attempt at being willfully deceptive. It's ridiculous. Also like, c'mon. In reality a 99% THC piece of marijuana would be a (literal) clear crystal. THC is a crystal. That is not a product anyone buys, and afaik does not exist. It would be wildly expensive/wasteful to use/make, and impossible to produce at scale. Not to mention unfeasibly expensive to buy as a consumer. It's a product that exists only in his mind. Marijuana isnt that different to what it was 70 years ago - We've just gotten better at using spectrometers and identifying strains and THC and CBD levels within strains. We simply KNOW more about the differing strength of strains and of the plant's botany. This is all good stuff, if you care about the safety and health of users! Much like how its good to know how strong your coffee bean is, its good to know how strong your weed is. But because people have done this important work educating weed consumers - We now have to deal with people misusing this good research to make scare-campaigns saying "oh weed is so much more powerful nowadays" Honestly i love a lot of the guests you guys have on, even if i have political disagreements with some, but that guy was no beuno. Came across as either a quack or a willful liar. I'm ALL for science backed education campaigns (especially about how risky it is to use daily before turning 25) - So it saddens me that this is the kind of guy representing drug policy, and not a harm minimisation expert following best practice in the feild.

Dude "on the TV" is out of his mind and likely racist knowing the disparities of arrest concerning cannabis

Great interviews and content as always, guys

changing the scheduling of marihuana is actually a big deal; a schedule 1 drug by law has 'no accepted medical use', and is illegal federally for a doctor to prescribe. This is plain and simply wrong no matter what kevin says, THC in fact does have several accepted medical uses, and keeping THC in schedule 1 is just anti-science

Make cannabis the same as alcohol and tobacco. Then you will have done something.

I tried alcohol smoked cigarettes They did nothing but give me regrets. My mom had arthritis could not walk around I rolled her a joint she danced on the ground. I thought I was losing my lovemaking knack After I smoked some to me it came back. Soon I decided prices were high I searched for some ground I wouldn't have to buy. I bargained for seeds from smokers all around Got in my truck and drove out of town. I walked through the woods where wild birds nest Found me the meadow I thought was the best. I dug up the ground sowed all my seeds Said a small prayer for strong, healthy weeds. I watered at night with a five-gallon pail Mosquitoes went hungry for I wore a veil. Seven months went by; I thought I would die Till the Halloween moon was high in the sky. At night I went out, in a camouflage suit Used my corn knife to chop down the loot. I hung it up to dry where it could not be found. Came back and got it, when it had turned brown. I trimmed off the buds, stuffed them in bags Called all my friends and passed out free drags. In less than a week my crop was gone I flew to St. Thomas with a love hungry blonde!! By Kansas Poet Tom Zart! Most Published Poet On The Web!

Anybody who’s been Charged with a non violent Cannabis offense should have their charges expunged period. Regardless if it was against the law at the time. Cannabis in of its self is not a crime, and never should have been. Before Medical was even legal in California back in ‘96 someone was taking the risk to get Cannabis to whom ever needed it and of course wanted it. A lot of people who have been Charged with Cannabis aren’t really criminals, and aren’t really doing it for the money. There’s a passion and love for the plant mixed with a little hobby when it comes to growing cannabis and even just smoking it, learning about different Strains and where they come from in the world and seeing how each strain grows differently and has its own affects when consumed.

I think the real test is more about how much is metabolized in the body rather than what is in the product itself
