wow...what a little snickering bitch...with her mind made up already. She has absolutely no knowledge of the plant and bases her thoughts and questioning on her retarded view that it's just pot and you should just stop doing it so the police won't come after you. aaarrrgggggggg... if someone needs a bitch slap, it's her

She definitely had her stance. She just wanted to appear strongly opposed to thwart anyone from discovering she's actually a true pothead.

The ending is great..

Marc: "Martin Luther King said..."
Her: "Yeah well he didn't mean it about POT!"

You would think that someone with cancer would know better about the medical properties of cannabis...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beverly_Thomson

Quote:

Thomson is an active figure with several Canadian charities, and has publicly announced her battle with breast cancer. She is a spokesperson for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, and also works with the Muki Baum Association, and the Charles H. Best Diabetes Foundation.




Maybe you should ask her about that on the CTV Canada AM Forum...

Canada AM: Marc Emery the Prince of Pot


Hi everyone.

As a LEGAL medical marijuana patient here in Canada for chronic progressive multiple sclerosis and an associated pain in my face called tic dolloureux, I have just one question...

I was wondering why Beverly Thompson was so hard on one of my friends interviewed on Canada Am this morning, Marc Emery, whom CNN entitled "the Prince of Pot" ?

Having herself suffered from a publicized catastrophic illness (breast cancer), she seeemed at times, angry with Marc for his blatant confidence in the benefits of the marijuana plant?

You would think that Beverly would be more than aware of one of the illnesses marijuana has been PROVEN to help?

I would like to know just what her feelings are about marijuana in general?

It sure seems to me she needs some indepth, Doctor approved information from some credible and scientifically correct data, all concerning the natural, harmless side effects noted with this plant.

PLEASE - drop by www.themarijuanamission.com and get educated with all of the information you could ever need for enlightening yourself about cannabis and other drugs.

Our lives depend on it!


Sincerely,
Alison Myrden

People were this uppity about legalizing Sunday shopping too. Now when you look back on it, can you imagine not being able to go to a shopping mall because it's Sunday? Or lashing out at Marc Emery for saying you should be able to?

Having some trouble getting video from the website... Nothing shows up when I click on the link.. If I view source I can get the raw .wmv link but when I load it in Media Player it just gives me audio, no video... This happening to anyone else?

Marc: "Martin Luther King said..."
Her: "Yeah well he didn't mean it about POT!"

that's the part that made me fume.....Marc was awesome as usual, but because that's the closer and what's left in the minds of all the soccer moms (the majority of their viewers). They're sitting in their kitchens watching the countertop tv saying to themselves "yeah...she's right. Pot is bad so you shouldn't do it and King definitely wasn't talking about pot..*eye roll* "

and off goes another prohibitionist voting citizen convinced she's got an informed view on the matter

Yeah, so true, BUT...
In the US, I doubt Marc could have even said his piece as no morning show I can think of here would ever let, "the number one drug kingpin in Canada" *laugh* on the air to present his side. Hell, with the charges Marc faces, he probably wouldn't even be out on bail while he awaited trial in the states.
I liked the segment, but I agree she seemed to have her opinion from the outset.

AM Canada Anchor: "Yeah, but Martin Luther King didn't say that with regard to marijuana..."

Witchy: "Ironically not... however I did blaze a phat spliff o'ganja in honor of his courageous leadership on MLK Day January 16th!"

What part of UNJUST LAWS did that woman not understand? -sheesh!

I don't think she was so bad. She certainly didn't cut him off at the end. Not everyone is going to prostrate to Emery, in fact I don't think it is a very Canadian thing to stand side by side with a vocal dissident. I think we have a tendancy to side with authority by default. You don't see much of that at the CC forums of course, but in general I think it is true. It is Marc's biggest challenge to overcome this.
