Proposed bill would decriminalize marijuana at federal level

New York Congressman Jerry Nadler has called for a committee vote to push forward a bill that would decriminalize marijuana nationwide. It would remove the drug from the federal Controlled Substances Act and allow states to set their own policies. CBSN New York’s Tony Aiello reports.

    This probably the only issue that Corey Booker and Donald Trump agree on.



  3. Kehinde Popoola on December 22, 2019 at 6:34 am

    trumps will let this pass because he needs it for this impeachment, so would you https://www.higtech.tech/

    Marijuana is already legal, y’all need only your medical card and you can purchase from any dispensary of your choice without getting into troubles with the law or government I use to think it was illegal and if I get caught with weed I’ll go to jail and loose my family,job and my whole life my children will grow up not knowing their mother. Amazingly I spoke with a friend of mine who help me out and I was able to get a valid medical card which I can use to ship any strain of my choice and I get delivered right at my door step I’m so happy and grateful to Dr Dave who made it possible though it was a little bit difficult finally I got the medical card.I’ll cherish this forever. It’s a festive period y’all stop stressing yourselves out in search of a local connect from Facebook or Instagram who may not still deliver or products way below your expecting.My advice to y’all is to purchase your own medical cards and feel free to smoke exactly what you want and top grade,y’all can hook up with DR Dave via Whatsapp # +1(443)798-0759 and save yourselves from going to jail or getting ripped off.Stay safe y’all πŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒβœŒπŸŒπŸŒπŸŒ

  11. Jet Mech085 on December 22, 2019 at 6:44 am

    I would rather study positive uses for a natural plant than blend chemicals, (some of which are harmful) to manage ailments . About time this gets a serious looking into

    Like they said marijuana is a gateway drug I say alcohol is a gateway drug it’ll leave you in places you never thought

    Pot legalization has become a political game of chicken. Every politician knows the public wants it to be legalized, and the Dems can easily pass this in the House. The Dems know that if McConnell gets his way it will never come to a vote in the Senate so when that happens they can say "hey look, we tried to pass it but the GOP said no, vote for us and we will get it done". If McConnell was smart, he’d let it get a floor vote and pass it so the GOP can save face with the public. Pot legalization will be a big subject next year, and whoever says no to it or tries to slow legalization down will get voted out, just ask Pete Sessions from Texas.



  16. Baked Tater on December 22, 2019 at 6:49 am

    You can take one for the other but you can’t have just the one



  17. Greg Pifer on December 22, 2019 at 6:52 am

    I can just see in the near future people downloading the Budhub or mobile munchies app😁



  18. val attard on December 22, 2019 at 6:52 am

    The people should have a vote to decide. We don’t need government to decide for us. Remember you work for us to begin with.



  19. Calvin Duke on December 22, 2019 at 6:52 am

    MIKE BLOOMBERG IS ANTI POT!!! I JUST GOOGLED IT HE SAYS ITS STUPID …..END CANNABIS PROHIBITION NOW



  20. Kristian Fussell on December 22, 2019 at 6:53 am

    NO NO NO legalize it completely do NOT give the state the ability to make it illegal or not. 100% legalization is the goal.



  21. Baked Tater on December 22, 2019 at 6:53 am

    Well what would you rather have? A bunch of speed freaks an heroin addicts or people smoking weed? Make your choice, I’m pretty sure all those people around those Class A substances would like to just smoke all the time



  22. Pandatransformer on December 22, 2019 at 6:53 am

    I really hope this passes.



  23. Eye on art on December 22, 2019 at 6:54 am

    About time. Vote out people that will not legalize it. It’s time has come. Use money to fix flooding. Texas is full of old timers out of touch with the people.



  24. David Heart on December 22, 2019 at 6:55 am

    Its a herb, which is protected by the 1st amendment. If someone choses to use this herb, as God says they can. States nor federal public servants can do anything about it, Unless they want to uncover their fraud, and conspiracy against The people’s freedom of religious expression.



  25. Luke Bogacik on December 22, 2019 at 6:56 am

    Take the republican hands out of pharmaceutical pockets,,,, wake up for research and regulation.



  26. Cz Family on December 22, 2019 at 7:01 am

    just do the dam thing



  27. Support Hugh Mungus on December 22, 2019 at 7:03 am

    Watch they are going to legalize it except for the ability to grow it individually. Best way for the Gov to make money off of it.



  28. Jo Jo on December 22, 2019 at 7:03 am

    Decriminalize not β€œlegalize β€œ there is a big difference



  33. Michael Priest on December 22, 2019 at 7:08 am

    We all know they won’t pass it.



  34. Raul Carmona on December 22, 2019 at 7:09 am

    Smoking it legalized or not



  35. Stormtrooper 094 on December 22, 2019 at 7:10 am

    Amazing a Democrat actually is for it and Republicans are the reason why it’s illegal



  36. William Wingo on December 22, 2019 at 7:12 am

    I agree



  37. jan9th1977 on December 22, 2019 at 7:13 am

    Legalize cannibus , the industry is slipping threw our fingers right in front of everyones faces on earth



  38. SosaOtto300 on December 22, 2019 at 7:16 am

    You’ll have a 5% tax and 10% federal tax you’ll pay more then getting from your dealer that’s why I’ll grow my own



  39. Bluemann023 on December 22, 2019 at 7:17 am

    i wish theyvwould legalize lsd and shrooms too πŸ™



  40. 8 ball181 Hand on December 22, 2019 at 7:18 am

    Democrats will blame republicans when this doesn’t pass. Even though this should have been done during the obama administration



  41. Finnadoche on December 22, 2019 at 7:20 am

    People need to post the names of the legislative workers who are keeping this plant illegal! They are criminals!



  42. Neil Kraft on December 22, 2019 at 7:21 am

    Won’t happen, too many people will loose money and power.



  43. LexusVIP 400 on December 22, 2019 at 7:22 am

    Alcohol and caffeine are gateway drugs…. My cousin just got off meth. He is in love with caffeine now….



  44. All cops are nazis OGCIADC on December 22, 2019 at 7:25 am

    I think if they stop the war on pot it will be because its more profitable to tax it than continue to fight a war on marijuana. This has us in debt and they need money and that 5% tax will bring in billions a year



  45. Eric Swanson on December 22, 2019 at 7:29 am

    How long will this take to be affect



  46. Baked Tater on December 22, 2019 at 7:29 am

    So truly my plea to the government would be outlaw alcohol and put it in place with marijuana and then suppress all the other drugs



  47. kotov dot in on December 22, 2019 at 7:30 am

    Put BLOTTER as your PROFILE PIC! Please share my site



  48. Chris Applewhite on December 22, 2019 at 7:30 am

    We will smoke weed anyway…it’s far too late for the gov to try and gain respect back to voters as there has been majority votes for a long time and they didn’t listen to the people giving them power. I don’t need approval from a bunch of 80 year old religious man babies that still believe in santa and jesus. They need our approval because they have low self esteem



  49. RichHomie Kel on December 22, 2019 at 7:32 am

    Its probably going to take the extinction of the boomers and a less republican dominated senate for the nation wide legalization of weed.



  50. R C on December 22, 2019 at 7:32 am

    There are only 2 types of people who are against legal marijuana. The ones who are ignorant to the subject and the ones who keep making money from it being illegal.
