ADD QUOTES- Rosenfeld: Twenty-one years I've been smoking marijuana legally provided by the federal government. And they still don't want to know how well it works. Edit
- Penn: [on Rosenfeld] So, why is Irvin smoking in front of The White House and the Capitol Building? Because he can. And, well, you gotta admit it makes a really cool shot for the promos. We were also hoping someone who runs the country would look out their F*CKING window and learn something! Edit
- Stroup: Let me compare the three most common used drugs in this country...recreational drugs...and that's alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana. With alcohol, it accounts for roughly 50,000 deaths a year in this country. Tobacco accounts for 440,000 deaths a year in this country. There's never been a person in the history of mankind that's died from an overdose of marijuana. It simply is not toxic enough, it could not kill. Edit
