The medical marijuana people are gearing up for battle after the Mississippi Supreme Court threw out I-65 last week. They created a Facebook page a Facebook page while one gentleman spoke rather passionately about the subject. He can't be too bad as whatever his faults are, he did work some Metallica into his screed. Enjoy.
He got a few things wrong. The legislature can't grandfather in Initiative 65. The legislature can take two actions. It can reform the initiative & referendum process. However, going that route means medical marijuana will first have to wait until the Constitution is fixed. The earliest it will be placed on the ballot is 2023. The legislature can also pass a medical marijuana bill. That is the easiest path and it will be interesting to see if the good ole boys ignore 61% of the voters.
Kingfish note: Note to our um, vlogger. Metallica is kind of dated, time to move on to something more modern such as this.

If this fat, incoherent pothead loser is the face of the opposition then I have to side with the people that want to keep it illegal.
I think this is the dummy that has a “CBD” shop on 49 S.
I could only take about 90 seconds of this slack-jawed dope (pun intended) but I hope he keeps posting as he’s representative of the loser “medical marijuana” crowd.
The I65 crowd are all butt-hurt that you can’t get your stoner weed. Hahahaha. Good. What a bunch of losers.
I'm sure this guy isn't what the movement needs.
This is why I don’t go out to bars anymore. My luck is that I usually get stuck next to that Low IQ hick. This guy needs to complete his GED studies before he does anymore social media commentary.
As I’ve stated several times prop. 65 is dead and isn’t coming back. And waiting to fix the initiative process (assuming this legislature could fix something they have purposely killed many times)could be as far off as 2024. The best possible action is to somehow convince Tater Tot and his drinking buddy Philip (the gunman)Gunn know that if they like their jobs then it’s probably time to pull their thumb out of their asses and pass something.
There is talk of something along the lines of the pitiful program that Alabama just started. I can think of nothing that would piss the voters off more. Unless of course they let Mary Butler come up with a program. How odd was it that right after the Supreme Court kicked prop 65 to the curb that most legislators shut down their Facebook Page (some still have them down). It the ostrich syndrome that most of them seem to use when confronted with reality.
I really believe legislators think this is a passing fad and that voters will soon forget about medical cannabis altogether. Nothing could be further from the truth. Most don’t know it yet or don’t want to face the fact that many of their political futures have already been sealed.
both yalls white boy music sucks jamie
This guy is an excellent example of why some people are afraid of legal pot, i.e., it may turn people into him.
Is this the guy I've seen for the past couple of years that drives around the metro with a large sign in the back of his pickup about legalizing marijuana?
First let’s address this god awful music you suggested as a substitute for the the undisputed Kings of Metal...WTF is wrong with you? LOL Now that we got that out of the way, probably one of the best reasons to be against 65 is the fact that the FBI is now conducting investigations in multiple states regarding threats to people who opposed it. These people are psychotic, and since marijuana is classified as a psychotic drug, go figure.
The moment you become famous and Narcotics is gonna be at your door!
He is high isn’t he?
450 High Street. Stupid potheads. They need to go to the mansion or the capitol, not the Supreme Court building.
WOW!!
Agree that he seems to be in genuine pain but think that pain is outside of the reach of legal analglesics.
Again, another reason not to have legalized pot.
Yeah I don’t know who came up with the music but they don’t speak for the people who need or want to try medical marijuana as an alternative to opioids. And anyone who thinks they do have surely lost their minds. There are plenty of clowns on both sides of this issue as can be seen by some of the posts here.
This man is higher than a Georgia Pine. It appears we found the voice behind Frog Horn Leg Horn.
@5:24
Megadeth is vastly superior to Metallica.
Iron Maiden Rules!
He's one of the poster children of why this stuff is called dope.
This was NEVER meant to be medical marijuana and this pitiful man knows it!!
Just legalize it and move the revenue from the gangs and cartels to the State.
10:57. absolutely. also make prostitution legal and tax it. those two alone will offset income tax...
Hey, Kingfish, Metallica isn't "dated". Are Mozart, Wagner, Beethoven, et. al. dated? This example you posted can't hold a candle to Metallica. I'm not a metal head but do enjoy a variety of music. What about authors? Is an author dated because they aren't the newest thing? What about sculptors or painters? Is Waylon Jennings dated? Maybe some agree with you but personally I'll take "dated" excellence over sub-par contemporary music or other art.
Honest question: Are people really being arrested and/or prosecuted for having and using small amounts of pot? I’m against this effort because it has nothing to do with “medicinal” anything and everything to do with eventually legalizing recreational use. And when recreational use is legal, then you can’t walk down the street without smelling someone smoking.
You think downtown Jackson is a shithole now? Wait until they’re smoking weed in every corner 24/7. No one legalizes it and applies the same use restrictions as alcohol (e.g. open container laws). It’s treated like cigarettes and you have to smell it everywhere you go.
Bomgaars and McLaughlin and the video guy should be content they can smoke a little in their homes (or trailers) and not be harassed. Don’t make the rest of us suffer for your “stoner cool” dream.
There are far more sophisticated and educated supporters of legalized marijuana than this dude. Why pick him?
@10:57 PM / @7:16 AM - what really happens is that when it is taxed, a black market of untaxed pot is created. In California that black market is run by the cartels, creating a job market for Mexican illegal immigrants.
Is there really scientific proof of this stinking weed helping with pain? The smell of this dope is, in my opinion, equivalent to the odor of a skunk. The first time I can remember, personally, of this nauseating smell was around 1967 or so. It was quickly associated with dead beats, losers, draft dodgers, and the like. From my personal observations it seemed to take ambition from the users along with the terrible smell. The users never seemed to reach their potential.
I commented in the thread from the Friday, 05/14 post, and will reiterate my opinion: the majority of those who support “medical” marijuana, do so as a guise for the underlying motive of getting legal access to this substance, to get stoned, high, or whatever term they prefer to call it. The “gentleman” in this video personifies that.
Now, I do believe that there is a small percentage of the population that marijuana - prescribed and monitored in a controlled environment - may benefit, to support their therapy and treatment. Someone in the thread from last week commented about the dire effects of cancer, and marijuana being of benefit to that. IF marijuana is helpful in that regard, and IF I or someone I cared about absolutely needed it for treatment, then no questions asked, a way to move to a state where this currently is, will be found! I would not be crying foul and “playing victim” about what happened in the MS Supreme Court last week, but rather get off my butt and take matters into my own hands by relocating, if it meant potentially saving a life.
That said, I cannot and do not fathom that there are thousands, or even hundreds, of folks “suffering” by lack of access to legal marijuana in this state. From my recent personal experiences, those who have been the most outspoken and passionate about this cause, strike me as individuals who really just want to distort reality by getting legal access to, and then getting impaired from this substance.
Don't like the band? I totally get. Check out the lyrics of the song though.
Well, he most certainly aint our best Boomer, but typically the same as the rest of us Boomers that refuse to get out of 1969 and still smoke dope on a daily basis. I bet his cuticles are even dilated.
Well @12:45 you may have some valid points. But here are the most valid reason that medical marijuana could be a new law here in Mississippi. First some seven hundred sixty six thousand Mississippi voters think it’s time. The fact that you believe some people just want to get stoned is irrelevant. I assume you do understand that the country is awash in cannabis either legal or illegal. And your point that maybe hundreds of people maybe could use cannabis to treat a host of illnesses misses the mark by the thousands.
Folks like you truly don’t understand why this is happening. Or why people just don’t move to another state to find their relief. Fact is just about every state has some sort of legalization going on and those that don’t see the writing on the wall. Some fight it others collect the tax( Colorado collected some 1.3 billion in taxes last year). Bottom line is either the cartels will control cannabis or the states will. It’s not going away.
No doubt he's been smoking, but I think when he gulped a jar of rot-gut moonshine ... that's when he decided to make a video.
Wow. Could not make it through all of the comments, but I will pick what seems to be one of the brightest and boldest to enter the fray to make at least one point. I hope that I make a point -- I am really, really high right now though. And Anonymous @ 9:50 AM above, the skunky-smelling, ditch weed that you encountered while listening to Foghat back in the day bears little resemblance to its modern day, terpene-free cousins who have no odor --- or better yet, specific yummy odors (i.e., terpenes) can be selectively added. It's just like that CRSP Cas-9 stuff but with weed. Only people smoking flowers these days are just hard core joint smokers. Be it live resin, distillate, earwax, vape cartridges...you can smoke in public and those only trained to the skunkier odors can remain blissfully unaware. Just as you are right now.
Taking a couple of pulls on your vape pen to relax a bit in the evening is much better tor you than a 6 pack, or a bottle of red, or half a bottle of bourbon. But that is just me....It will be recreational in Mississippi before the legislature in my state (TX) takes it up. We are too busy training for the fetal heartbeat Olympic trials. Looks like MS has already won that one though.
That flag referendum was the most sacred piece of MS folklore mainly because it is really, really difficult to find people who are confortable trying to overturn them after the fact because the winners/defenders can be so self-righteous (democracy-flexing self-righteousness....that is Socrates, Plato level shit). Even idiots understand this is generally a position of strength. Just like all of the MS politicians who used the referendum to avoid the flag issue. And now we have a municipal servant finding a
soft spot in the highest court to overturn a sacred referendum. Mississippi is the ultimate paradox. Or irony. Something...O. Henry stories should have all been set in MS.
But in all seriousness, everybody does know that none of this has anything to do with whether or not MS will have medical marijuana....you will soon. Mary Mayor and Randolph and the boys just picked WHO will bring it to you. If you are good with a fat-cat, weed oligarch handing over all of the regs and stuff for the boys to rubber stamp, you will not be disappointed. The big boys always want to come in and limit the growing licenses. The referendum medical marijuana law would have created a regulatory system that was transparent and based on models that actually benefit all stakeholders and creates fairness and transparency in the market.
The Legislature is about to give you guys something else next year.
" I am really, really high right now "
Well 3:41 am, I don't think anyone will argue with you about that fact.
I think he, the prior 'signer' for Dobbs/Reeves and Matt Steffy all use the same beauty parlor. Being such a small village, it was bound to happen.
Hey, Kingfish, I finally looked up the lyrics on the song you posted. I get it now. :)
To the poster who said "y''all' white boys music sucks" - if Kingfish had posted some hip hop crap and then denigrated it as "crappy black folks music" you'd call him a racist. Everyone has different tastes. Whatever happened to "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all?" Some people weren't taught manners I guess.
