MONTEL WILLIAMS WANTS TO GET HIS SMOKE ON, LEGALLY
Thursday, June 8, 2006
Montel Williams, the talk show host that publicly speaks about his marijuana use, is lobbying to legalize the ‘drug’.
“I want you to meet someone who’s not a drug dealer, not a dope addict, just somebody who’s trying to get up every morning and go to work.”
Williams went on to explain how marijuana eases the symptoms of his multiple sclerosis enough to let him function. Registered with programs in California and Canada that permit possession of small amounts of marijuana for medical use, he urged New Jersey to adopt one of its own.
He then went on to say, “I break the law every day. I will continue to break the law every day.” (read more)
Obviously he is smoking something, because if I see Sylvia Browne on his show one more time, imma slap somebody.

If it helps relieve pain better than any medical prescription then why not legalize it for MS/cancer/AIDS patients? They should derive the chemicals from the plant and make a pill. That way the pharmaceutical companies can make money from it. Isn’t that partially what this is about?

speakin’ from my own experience, i smoked everyday while taking chemotherapy. i would get bad headaches and have some joint pain, and the weed would ease, if not alleviate the pain.
i know some of y’all are going to make jokes about that statement, but it really is a natural painkiller.
and y’all are right, the government won’t make it legal because pharmaceutical companies didn’t think of it first and can’t/won’t make a multi-million dollar profit off it. even if they did figure out a way to “manufacture” it in their labs, it wouldn’t be as effective as 100% all natural weed. i’m not talkin’ about that hydro mess people be smokin’…but pure, unadulterated, home-grown in organic soil WEED!!

@ #22 bloo (love your avatar, by the way)
when you’re in pain, gettin’ “high” isn’t the point…bein’ able to function pain-free is the point.
now, recreational smokin’ is somethin’ totally different and i do agree that gettin’ high is the point.

NetworKing, are you serious? Obviously you have issues with weed, you should deal with asap. God put all of us here for a reason, saying that “they should have never been born” is going a bit far, don’t you think?
Would you tell someone’s grandmother who had cancer and used marijuana to help with the side effects from chemo that she was a pathetic loser?

@ speakinmymind…thanx
yeah i meant for recreational smokin the point is 2 get high…i “smoke” occassionally and there’s a difference from doing it everyday. i don’t knock ppl who do it, the only issue i have is when u let the drug control u and not the other way around.
*i’m speaking only of recreational users*

@29 I’m talking about the people who use it beyond a recreational use and abuse it. I understand weed is natural, but the Native Americans long ago didn’t abuse it the way people do these days.
If you have a medical condition,and it’s used responsibly, then that’s understandable. I think marajuana has some medicinal uses. The only reason it’s not legal is because the government hasn’t figured out how they can tax such a drug, especially since it is natural. It all comes back to the money.
I was just referring to the dumb people who smoke weed to the point where they lips are black and they fingers are dark, and everytime you walk past them they smell like it.
The use of marajuana has been abused and made as an excuse. And the statement that they shouldnt be born… we’ll most of these people aren’t doing anything with their life but wasting it. Why waist aperfectly good life? If life was interchangeable like that, I’d take it and give to people who died or were killed too soon. The loosers in this world are like cockroaches, they never die!

My mom has M.S. so I know first hand what Montel is going through. If he needs the Maryjane to feel better then they should allow it. My mom has to smoke it as well to feel better. If you’re not affected by this disease you don’t care what they go through on a daily basis.

If it helps, Montel, keep on using!!! I have a number of relatives, including my mother (RIP) that smoked weed to alleviate pain from disease..Weed never killed anyone..There is only one known case of weed killing someone and that was when a 500 lb bale of the stuff fell on a guy…Once the government figures out a way to monetarily capitalize on weed’s legalization, they’ll legalize it. Maybe if they legalized it, then they could concentrate on drugs that KILL (coke, heroin, meth, etc.)

I wouldn’t smoke any weed that gets legalized by the federal government, just like i don’t take any prescription pharmaceutical drugs, unless it is a life-threatening medical emergency. all that ish has side effects that either require more drugs to alleviate the side effects or require surgery to remove a body part damaged by the side effects of the drug.
if i had known then what i know, i would never have had surgery to remove my lymph nodes or taken chemotherapy…it’s the chemo that kills people, not the cancer itself, which is a curable disease, but not by conventional methods.

when i say life-threatening medical emergency, i mean if i was in a car accident or some other type of accident. i don’t agree with the use of drugs to treat the “symptoms” of dis-ease and don’t get to the root cause of the person’s illness. it’s like putting a band-aid on a gaping wound that’s bleeding profusely and wondering why the bleeding won’t stop.

Fuck it, I don’t have any medical ailments and I’m still gonna smoke my shit everyday. Nothing wrong with weed. I know weedheads like to spout off–it’s natural, it’s from the earth, nobody ever died of a weed overdose, it’s not addictive–and this is all true, but i admit it gets annoying. But I will say that weed is illegal due to politics, not anything else. which is why the rest of the world is waking up and decriminalizing it left and right. But you know America, got to do things our way. Whatever, I’m still gonna smoke my shit everyday after work.

I dont give a damn if you you’re president of united fucking states (Bill Clinton) Weed is addictive, and it’s pointless. People abuse it! You can be a nero-sergon in the top hospital in the country. That doesn’t mean anything. But you cant argue wit someone who’s addicted to it that it’s not good for you. It’s like telling a crackhead that weigh 95 lbs, has 3 teeth and skin that resembles the surface of the moon that they’re addicted. They’ll simply tell you, “No, I’m not… I cant stop whenever I want” There are exceptions to everything, but generally the answer is gonna be the same.

The one thing that gets me hot about this site is how judgmental people are. Only G-d can judge us, not some random blogger with spelling errors in their comments. I live in California, where perscriptions are available for medicinal marijuana and there are coffee shops that you can pick it up from. The people that go in and out of that facility are no different and their lives are worth no less than anyone else. I feel that anything in excess is a problem, but in moderation, marijuana is a useful and at times neccessary tool.

well… I understand Montel’s situation and agree.
I have had fibromyalgia for 10yrs(which is VERY painful) and just one of my doctors prescribed 13 different medications and all together I was supposed to take 21 meds total. [Something for the pain, something for the nausea & vomitting, something for the spasms, something for the chronic fatigue, something for the insomnia, and the list goes on and on...]
I felt like a numb zombie taking all those pills (and most days I wouldn’t take them all because I had to function enough to go to work). The one day I couldn’t take living in slow motion anymore… and just stopped taking anything. And that was UNBEARABLE, until a friend (whose uncle had cancer and was on a medicinal use program) suggested I try some too.
Smoking allowed me to live a somewhat normal life again. The pain became manageable, nausea & vomitting gone (imagine throwing up & feeling nauseated every day for 6 years… even w/meds), the achiness disappeared, and so forth and so on…
I recently moved to another state and don’t have any ‘connects’… so now I am back to excrutiating pain, nausea, vomitting, aching, spasms, chronic fatigue, migraines and other debilitating symptoms. If marijuana were legal, I could go to the store and get some just like any other medicine available. But I can’t, and I not willing to get a f’d up record over some bull*hit. (But what I would give for a good wake ‘n’ bake!!!!)
MAKE 420 LEGAL!!!!!!

That’s the point I was trying to say, when you abuse it, that’s when it goes to far. Native Americans use it to connect with spirits,and during times of enlightnement.(Basically thinking)Marajuana was considered something that wasn’t used lightly or taken for granted now. Ya’ll can say whatever ya’ll wanna say but the ones that ruin for the people who use it responsibly are the ones you see walking up and down the street and the ones getting arrested by the police for having it in they car. These people are the ones I’m talking about. They make black people look bad, and I’m tired of looking bad on accont of pointless loosers. Get a job, have some sort of goals or aspirations except seeing how fat of a blunt they can roll or what’s the newest grain of weed they can get they hands on. And the people who sell it, can get hit by a bus for all I care!
