The Union: The Business Behind Getting High

Joe Rogan:
[Speaking to the interviewer regarding Cannabis] I thought the same thing, I mean, I didn't start smoking pot till about five years ago; I thought pot made you stupid. Now I bought into it just as much as anybody did. Then I realized when I was like, thirty years old that I was tricked. I was like, you gotta be f***ing kidding me!

Joe Rogan:
It's a weird thing that you do when you make nature against the law.

Himself - Policy Analyst - BC Compassion Club Society:
We've been hearing for years, them trying to say that it causes lung cancer and we say, "Really? That's interesting, because you can't even show us one case of cancer being caused by cannabis use alone."

Himself - Director of LEAP and Former Undercover Narcotics Agent:
If you've been caught - a young person, who's had so much as one marijuana cigarette - you can't get a loan or grant from the government to go to college. If you've been convicted of murdering somebody or raping someone, no problem; you go right down, they give you the loan. I guess the message is: It's okay to rape, and murder and pillage, just don't smoke a joint afterwards.

Herself - Pot Baker & Comedian:
$400 million is spent in Canada arresting and prosecuting marijuana crimes. The total budget in Canada for all drugs is $500 million. That means four-fifths of the drug budget goes towards arresting and prosecuting marijuana users, leaving one-fifth for crack, heroin, coke, crystal meth, the date rape drug - whatever.
