A bag of quality marijuana in Minnesota will cost you 400 bucks, in Colorado it'll cost you 100 and a quarter. Medical Marijuana, a pill that you've got to pay for - which, it's allowed in Minnesota, but it's so restricted - costs $600 a month. If you live in Colorado you can get the same medical marijuana for $30 a month. See why it needs to be legalized across the board?
Jesse VenturaHow many elderly people you see have to leave the house they've had their whole life because their fixed income and their property taxes keep rising every year and they can't afford to stay there. And nobody gives a crap about it, and they're booted out, they have to leave their homes.
Jesse VenturaPeople are going to do stupid things, but you don't take away the freedom because somebody makes a stupid decision.
Jesse VenturaI don't have to muzzle myself when I'm a civilian. When you're a governor, you kind of have to do it, because you represent the whole state. You have to leave your personal opinions to yourself a lot. I learned that.
Jesse VenturaI believe to go along to get along is unpatriotic. I believe that agreeing with your government on everything they do is unpatriotic. I believe a patriot stands up and holds your government's feet to the fire. Because if you do that, you will get good government.
Jesse VenturaYou can drink yourself to death, you can smoke yourself to death, you can eat yourself to death.
Jesse VenturaWhen you reach a certain age in life, time becomes more important than money, and I think that happens in your 50s.
Jesse VenturaDisabled people need more invested in their education, housing, job training, transportation, assistive technology, and independent-living facilities. Governments earn back this investment - and more - by making people with disabilities economically productive citizens.
Jesse VenturaI don't oppose hunting in any way, shape or form. If that's what you enjoy doing, you are free to do it.
Jesse VenturaPersonally as a rider, I find the helmet distracts me. I can't hear as well and I can't see as well. I also believe loud pipes save lives and my pipes straight through with no baffles in them.
Jesse Ventura[the downfall of our political system is the] buying and selling of politicians...bribery. In the private sector, you're arrested for it. In the public sector, it's the norm.
Jesse VenturaMarijuana is to rock and roll what beer is to baseball, so imagine if they took away beer at the ballgame.
Jesse VenturaDemocrats are so spineless, so afraid to go against the tide... but dissension is the greatest form of patriotism.
Jesse VenturaIf you want to stop illegal immigration, you have to make it so that - so that the people that hire the illegal immigrants will not be in a position to hire them.
Jesse VenturaI never believe anything in the world of entertainment until it actually happens and the check clears the bank.
Jesse VenturaJobs are created in the private sector. Not by the president or the government unless they're government jobs.
Jesse VenturaI love fat people. Every fat person says it's not their fault, that they have gland trouble. You know which gland? The saliva gland.
Jesse VenturaWell my question is if the federal courts don't have jurisdiction over a constitutional question then who the hell does?
Jesse VenturaGet every candidate to wear a NASCAR racing suit when they go debate; this way we can see how their sponsors really are.
Jesse VenturaIf waterboarding's OK, why don't we let our police do it to suspects so we can learn what they know? We only seem to waterboard Muslims... Have we waterboarded anyone else?
Jesse VenturaLet me say this: I'm paranoid of the government. They've lost my trust. They've lied to me so many times that I don't know what to believe from them anymore.
Jesse VenturaIf the price of the drug people want to use is through the roof, well then they're going to have to commit crimes to get the money to get the drug. You don't see any crimes committed over a pack of cigarettes or a bottle of beer, do you?
Jesse VenturaAre you familiar with 9/11? Building 7? You know what was in there? All the Enron stuff. I guess that building went down on its own.
Jesse VenturaThat's why you need the war on drugs to put all these pot smokers in prison so that the prisons remain full and the corporations remain profitable. It's a slippery slope.
Jesse VenturaIt's convenient how everyone who supports waterboarding and torture, or "enhanced interrogation techniques" as they like to call it, have never experienced it themselves. Yet everyone who has, myself included, are firmly against it.
Jesse VenturaPatriotism to your country is something that comes from your heart. It should be taught to you by your parents.
Jesse VenturaI have an idea about voting, how about on every ballot we include "None of the above". People may laugh at that, but what that is, it is a vote of no confidence in your government and I'm willing to bet that in some elections, 'None of the Above' would win. Imagine if you won the election but lost to 'None of the Above'. Wouldn't that make you re-think your positions?
Jesse VenturaThe communism of Karl Marx would probably be actually the best for everybody as a whole. But what he didn't figure into was human nature, and that's what corrupts it.
