2 Chainz destroys American talk show host Nancy Grace on the issue of cannabis legalisation
Other | Thursday 15th January 2015 | Matt
It's odd to think of 2 Chainz as an advocate for anything other than True Religion Jeans and big butts, but the Atlanta rapper has now taken the world by storm after appearing on US TV to debate the legalisation of everyone's favourite herb. A video of the exchange, which has now gone viral, shows the rapper calmly and collectedly making several extremely valid points about cannabis, while Grace appears to slowly lose her mind and descend into basically yelling the same point again and again. At several points she also claims she “Just doesn't know” what he's talking about, suggesting she's either slightly deaf, trying to negate his measured arguments... or baked out of her fucking mind.
Mostly, Grace goes for shock value over actual substance, repeatedly showing videos of children being handed joints by adults. Obviously, the videos are disturbing – two year olds shouldn't be getting high. But these are countered again and again by the obvious point; It's the parent's fault, not weed. Again, Grace shrieks about how if weed were legalised they would have unlimited access to it. 2 Chainz' response is almost too funny; “I'm not sure if you realise this, but everyone has the ability to get their hands on pot right now, whether it's legal or not”. Well said Mr Chainz!
You really do have to question the intelligence of America's talk show hosts. They've gone from being racist and stubborn (a la Bill O'Riley) to downright stupid. How is it possible that someone who can't even listen and respond to a guest's argument gets a spot on a national talk show?
If you can stomach 9 minutes of Nancy Grace, you can watch the video below.
