40 billion dollars a year go to taxes but to criminal and corruption
Id just like to comment toward all the baby boomers and old timers here who are worried about their children smoking weed because they think it makes people "stupid". Let me try to explain something to you, if you see someone who is dumb smoking weed or commenting unintelligibly about its benefits or why theyre using it, that person was stupid in the first place. Anybody who is lazy and smokes weed, was gonna find an excuse for being lazy anyway. Stop blaming weed for peoples shortcomings and take some personal damn responsibility like your generation is always talking about.
30 years ago when I was talking about this with a friend he said"not in our lifetime".
any who wants this shit legal kill your self you are a price of shit that came out of the worlds ass got fucked by Hitler and was kicked in the face by a jack fuck you democrats
I don’t live I use 🙁 I’d like smoke that fucking shit when will legality the marijuana here?
"Fuck it, I did inhale." -Bill Clinton
That’s dumber
how can Obama be this retarded only drug addicks want it legal or retards
I’m from the UK where our castles are as old as the retarded laws people can say what they want about the USA but this is one thing you guys got bang on oo v
then again, you could stall this ethical development to make up for other problems this country has. you could wrongly profit off of weed in order to fix things like education, etc. which sort of…. i’m willing to pay that tax. or, just make us pay it. idk. things are just so messed up.
10 years ago I never thought this could ever happen and I’m so glad I’m born into a time when this is going to be legal, I don’t even use but I know that it needs to be legal and I’m going to tell my grand kids about a time when the stuff could send you to jail and they’ll laugh!
Making war on drugs in Mexico. But legalizing weed here? What’s the point of making war on drugs? Bootleggers. Yeah.
HOLD THE FUCK UP SEX LUBE?!?!?!?!
What’s the point of smoking if you’re not going to inhale
The usa spends 78 billion a year on the war on drugs and that dont include the military actions either 78 billion is half of the entire school budget per year so yeah.
well i can tell u the present of cannabis legalization is prety dam great, shoutout california!! peace my dogs
If u r a every day smoker it doesn’t make u dum r drive bad jus focused n relaxed able to deal wit tha crazy world
who the fuck in their right mind would ever legalize this shit its stores are robbed three times a year it takes decades for the average store to get robbed
this is bullshit!
I can’t wait till the day I can say that weed saved this country…
Weed is illegal in Pennsylvania. Just think about that for a moment. Videos like "Reefer Madness" have made the public aware of an ACTIVE PROPAGANDA SCHEME against marijuana legalization in OUR COUNTRY. We now know marijuana aids those with Parkinson’s and can fight breast cancer, among other things. YET, the race to control marijuana rages on between THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, who seeks to control it as a Schedule I drug because of all the money involved. (Keep in mind, the Feds are working on it. They’ve obliged states to make their own decisions, in order to see how it works socially.) AND individuals like you and me, who often times race to control distribution in states whose legalization efforts are underway. These people want to own the groweries and distribution centers because it makes THEM money. Ethically, it should just be legal for a citizen to grow marijuana in the safety of their home and use it at their discretion. My reasoning?
Anyone, at any age, can go to a home-brew alcohol shop and purchase all they need to produce beer, wine, and grain alcohol. Technically, you need a license to actually MANUFACTURE it, but you can still purchase all you need legally with NO AGE RESTRICTION. Our culture is extremely lax with the destructive drug, alcohol. because historically, humans are just used to it. Many still actually–yes–FEAR marijuana because, perhaps, they do not understand it. Yeah, it could make you lazy, but how many more people drink way too much, how often do we use drinking as a coping mechanism and LAUGH IT OFF? If we legally believe we can function with legal alcohol, then it is actually insane that our government continues to feed off of "marijuana possession" charges and treat that as a crime. It is completely irrational that we should continue this culture that has been shown to be corrupted and wrong. It is crazy that growing marijuana still has such a heavy stigma in America! It might seem so off to you, but that’s my point! It’s crazy that you (some people) get that heated over this! Pardon my abruptness.

Matt Shaw The reason you can’t just grow weed is because the dealers & the government make too much money off of it in various ways. You should just be able to grow it. Cut all the advantageous bullshit out. Think about it. I mean, really think about it.

Matt Shaw If more people get value out of being able to just grow it than the small amount making money off it in the present ways that they do, people could actually get what they want. That’s an economic revolution, and reason exists behind it.

now that weed is gonna be legalized, more chemicals are gonna be in the weed,
I thought this video was going to show how someone envisioned how legal weed would play out instead it just said everything I know and asked how it would turn out who knows?
But please, enjoy your alcohol and cigarettes both of which are proven killers. America elected dumb religious fascists as our leaders. Sad!
I don’t think weed will ever be legal

you dont need to inhale? do you really not have to inhale when smoking weed?
Pakistan have famous hashish in the world but it’s not legal

Fuck Texas !!! I Fucking Hate Texas! Im smoking shitty ass sativah.. Im fucking hurting here Seriously!!!
can’t wait!!!:-) #Legalize_Marijuana
contrary to popular belief it would be good for more people to start smoking weed
Raise the smoking age to 21 losers all ways think that getting high is the answer
im up 500 percent profit…going for the porche 911. lol. what a cash rush…never made this much money on the market in my life..!!!!!!!!!
i laugh because all those ppl that were trying to brain wash me into thinking it was a drug but they didnt know crap
I believe what she said at 0:34 to be Not True. Why do I believe this? Because I saw a few tv documentaries and lots of youtube videos when Denver became the 1st state to make it legal for also recreational use and it revealed the TAXES are over 30%!. That being the fact it’s just cheaper for any Consumer today to just get it cheaper from the source without paying any taxes. And what she said about the Mexicans losing profit from legalization beginning at 0:30 isn’t True either. Why do I believe this? Because whatever the legal price is the Mexicans will just sell it cheaper just enough for them to make a profit and stay in business. The Drug Trade has been here since the Dawn of Man and isn’t going away. I see it as part of our Matrix of the way things are.
Get a life take on some responceablities to the real life
of course Pennsylvania is left out of the mix.
No more employment entry weed tests. Unless it’s a packed bowl being offered. Now that’s a drug test I’ll happily take.
I agree great vid
Warning big pharma is in the comment section
McDonald’s is bad for you
don’t forget to scramble to take hold of distribution when, ethically, this plant should be freely grown among citizens who chose to use it! I could be a 14 year old kid in Pennsylvania and go buy anything I need from the Home Brewing store. look it up, anything you need to make alcohol is not age-restricted AT ALL! but growing marijuana plants? watch out for DEA!
"… and remember, you dont have to inhale." yeah you do lmao then how is the thc gonna get to your lungs
sex lube 😐
