While speaking with CNN about decriminalizing marijuana, Canadian actor Tommy Chong had a few choice words for Paul Chabot and a message for President Obama.

Chong said that President Obama had the power to remove marijuana from the same list where drugs like heroin and LSD reside and move it to a less restrictive list where it can be used for medical purposes.

Chong said;

"All President Obama has to do is sign an executive order rescheduling marijuana from Schedule 1, which says it has no medical use whatsoever, to a Schedule 2, which would allow it to be sold by prescription only. Then we'd be all done.”

Paul Chabot, a former White House senior advisor to the director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy and who is also the founder of the Coalition for a Drug Free California, had issues with what Chong was trying to accomplish saying;

“We have woken up to the medical fraud marijuana problem that's skirted all around our nation. Times are changing. It will be back to community and family values."

Chong went on to speak about how Montel Williams keeping his MS under control by using marijuana and that while Melissa Ethridge suffered through her fight with cancer that the use of marijuana helped her through that pain.

The argument ended up with Chong telling Chabot to “shut up” saying;

“It has medical use. That lie you just said where it had no medical use whatsoever, it's a lie.”
