She is extremely impressive in how she explains why she quit and how important the issue is to her. Incarceration of so many people who contribute to society is a huge problem! Good for her!

then turned around basically told everyone to go fuck themselves before quitting.
She could have done so much good advocating for legalization of marijuana on air by doing well researched reports about the history of laws banning it and on data that shows its benefits of using it but nooo she had to go on air and throw profanity laden tantrum like a child just to make a quick buck for her own pot club.
Not only did she make pot users look unstable and she also did a great disservice to the movement of full legalization also its hard enough for young African American women who don't look like Soledad O'brien, Fredricka Whitfield or Suzanne Malveaux to get jobs in media as it is and this little "stunt" doesnt help.
As I said before, if she thinks that they're going to let her walk off into the sunset after this, she is going to be in for a rude awakening. She burned a lot of bridges and messed with some very powerful people who are going to screw her Six Ways to Sunday and make an example of her.
My advice for her, if she has any guns register them all or get rid of them because the first thing they do to screw you over is slap on bogus weapons charges also verify the age of every customer, don't sell to minors and be prepared for a DEA raid where they confiscate all of your assets and/or an IRS audit.
More power to her and maybe her heart was in the right place but I hope she is prepared for whats coming and if she hasnt already, its probably a great idea to hire a lawyer now.
This is how you do it right...
and this is how you do it wrong

(340 posts)really stupid but for me I thought she said it right plus it was comedic genuise ... Her rebuttal or whatever video is crap though as she kinda scripted that so would rather her sitting smoking a spliff and saying "meh fuck it"
Each to their own but I think she did right
You're probably right though she's in for a shit storm so I really hope she's being smart not stoopid!4
Thank you America for making a wise choice to decriminalize another 5-10 years we'll be able to do the same and not need to hit Amsterdam for a weekend blow out

"Fuck it" is different than "Fuck you"...and choosing a more humane and compassionate life goal is different than "quitting" a job in television.
So, in your opinion, Sanjay Gupta-- spending decades enabling the anti-pot pharmaceutical and medical industries and then, in an eleventh hour, deathbed confession recants-- is "doing it right."
The time has come to say "Fuck it!". Use what you have. This remarkable women used her platform for a good use.
