    black brown and poor white people like me.



  6. Don on April 20, 2020 at 1:40 pm

    I am really looking forward to the billions of dollars of lawsuits against the government when the parents realize that government sponsored marijuana has turned their kids into schizophrenics !



  7. Peter McCann on April 20, 2020 at 1:40 pm

    Please stop wasting resources on jailing people for cannabis use. From the disingenuous motives criminalizing the plant (deportment of Mexicans over labor jobs), to the fact that relative to alcohol, it is less harmful, destructive, and dangerous, law enforcement has more important issues to deal with. Dan Patrick: what are you thinking, when most REPUBLICANS, in Texas, want Marijuana reform, not more resources spent on weed. Doesn’t sound like you are representing your constituents well, when you squash votes on bills the majority of republican voters support. Perhaps it’s time you step aside for a representative who’s more in line with the public will.



  8. ivan0561 on April 20, 2020 at 1:43 pm

    Im not voting for ANYONE until they legalize it here in NJ!!



  9. Ronnie Williams on April 20, 2020 at 1:47 pm

    Fellow cheifers, Biden don’t give a f@#$ about us💯



  10. Sunshine Daydream on April 20, 2020 at 1:48 pm

    Neither Biden or Trump are pro hemp. They both are tied to oil & gas industies. It would have to be the Congress house bill that passed congress now go through the Senate to legalize 100% on a federal level it’s no longer a scheduled substance, thus as all plants should BE FREE TO GROW ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD….



  11. V!ral_VEVO on April 20, 2020 at 1:48 pm

    Legalize it already



  12. Zombie Panda on April 20, 2020 at 1:48 pm

    Marijuana is safer than any other drug out there he’ll the thing that shouldn’t be in band are cigarettes and vaping just look at how many different chemicals are in vo and if you really want to get down to it everything that we consume on a daily basis has some type of a drug and or chemical in it summer chemicals humans should not be consuming not only in my opinion I’m pretty sure there’s a lot of people that share my opinion marijuana should have been legalized long ago and also shouldn’t have been criminalized in the first place

    I would much rather cannabis be legal than alcohol. Because alcohol has killed people and it is addictive. With that being said cannabis is non addictive, as far as I know it has never killed anyone either. It has been a proven fact that it cures some diseases and illnesses. So I believe it should be legalized.

    The study of cannabis of Harvard University



  16. Shaggy EP3_215 on April 20, 2020 at 1:51 pm

    Legalize it!



  17. NumbaoneStunna16 on April 20, 2020 at 1:52 pm

    #LEGALIZE



  18. rokin91 on April 20, 2020 at 1:52 pm

    my question is why do we keep voting in seniors?



  19. JustSome Lad on April 20, 2020 at 1:53 pm

    It’s only a gateway drug if it’s illegal. People that sell you weed will pressure you into taking other drugs.

  25. Joel Vega on April 20, 2020 at 1:54 pm

  26. Wrkn Hvc on April 20, 2020 at 1:57 pm

    If weed is legalized, I would literally quit drinking. I would be happy and safe to smoke in my home in peace without hurting anybody.



  27. el Vapor on April 20, 2020 at 1:58 pm

    Legalize weed 2020



  28. OG SQUAD on April 20, 2020 at 1:58 pm

    A cigarette made me wanna smoke a blunt… ever since then I haven’t had a cigarette since 💯 Weed Is From The Earth 🌎 God Put This Here For Me And You 😊‼️



  29. L1GHTNINGSLAYER on April 20, 2020 at 1:58 pm

    . Substances/opioids with over an annual death toll of over 1000 are totally legal and prescribed by friendly neighborhood gangsters, or doctors I meant. Meanwhile in recorded history not 1 single soul has died from marijuana.



  30. mrbam88 on April 20, 2020 at 1:59 pm

    Since when have any of these "polls" been accurate?! I have new poll… 95% of Americans support legalization – Source: Ask anyone…



  31. Pedro Lopez on April 20, 2020 at 2:00 pm

    2090 still federally illegal



  32. tee_d_0818 on April 20, 2020 at 2:02 pm

    Its an exit drug



  33. KanooklaPook on April 20, 2020 at 2:02 pm

    once the old school republican coalition dies off there will be more pressure on republican politicians to legalize marijuana. federal legalization is far away but the odds are in our favor.



  34. Scottie too hottie on April 20, 2020 at 2:04 pm

    Silent generation is only at 39% cuz they’re usually not alive 😂



  35. Rita Lawrence on April 20, 2020 at 2:05 pm

    the freaking prescription commercials here on Youtube are incessant — more people need Cannabis, pills to plants!!!!



  36. Grassmaster Smith on April 20, 2020 at 2:06 pm

    "WE should be soooooooooo cautious about Cannabis", as he guzzles toxic alcohol.



  37. mrbam88 on April 20, 2020 at 2:06 pm

    The drug war is all about suppressing minorities. The only reason to delay legalization is to simply give large corporations the lead time to establish market share. The last thing Wall Streets wants is to empower minority communities by letting them start up a small business for selling legal marijuana. It’s about suppressing the competition prematurely!!! @



  38. Off Road on April 20, 2020 at 2:12 pm

    It’s not a drug, it’s an herb, as far as I’m concerned and others , alchohol is a deadly drug….period …



  39. Spike NYC on April 20, 2020 at 2:13 pm

    Biden?….IS A NO!



  40. Error_404 Not Found Error_404 Not Found on April 20, 2020 at 2:14 pm

    Complete morons. If you’re worried about too much access to weed, then limit the amount that non-medical, strictly recreational users can buy at any given time. I honestly would be fine if I could only buy up to 7 grams a month. Others may disagree, but all I want is to be able smoke without being considered a criminal or abuser. This would be a fair compromise to both sides, along with an emphasis on laws related to driving under the influence and improper handing, you know, so the tyrant states can still find a reason to fine people and generate their revenue like the crooks they are.

    Socialism And Bernie Sanders
    Those who are making the decision to vote for Bernie Sanders and socialism should attune themselves, not only to themselves but the future generations of this great country.
     
    The guliiable people of this country are being led to believe that they are going to get a free ride in the socialist system of govermment.
    Nothing can be further from the truth.
    The socialist my dangle a few freebies in your face but like a snake salesman it is only to get you into the tent.
    "Nothing is free" I’m sure you heard that phrase before and it is so true.
    Socialism is about gaining power and keeping power.
    Want proof just look at all the socialist countries around the world such as Russia,China,Cuba just to name a few. When was the last time you saw free elections in any of those countries?
    Socialism is not about spreading the wealth it’s about spreading the poverty.
    Cant happen here you say, well it’s happening right before your very eyes.
    Go ahead and vote for BS and wake up one day and find that you have a dictator in power for life.
    Do you like the freedom of publically expressing your views?
    Well forget all that, in a socialist system you would be thrown in jail and your property would be confiscated  by the state.

    Why am I so passionate about socialism? I grew up in Cuba We had nothing there.
    When Sanders said that Castro was a great man it almost made me vomit.
    Sanders is a hard line Socialist and will turn this country into a third world dictatorial country in no time just like Castro did to Cuba.
    The best thing that ever happened to our family is when we legally came to this great country and became citizens.
    Our family was now allowed to prosper and we were free of fear of the government.
    Want proof from other people who lived in a socialist country?
    Copy this url and paste it into the youtube address bar.
    https://www.facebook.com/realCharlieKirk/videos/2268644573358796/

    Bernie Sanders is trying to fight  alleged racism with racism against white people.
    He said that he will create a law that only blacks and other none white minorites will be allowed to grow and sell marijuanna.
    If that is not racism that I am the queen of England.

    To see this for yourself please do the same thing in youtube with the url below
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzTR4SmzNds

    Sanders can’t challenge Trump on his record of the past three years so he will have you believe that the African Americans are oppressed in this country and that he is the one who is going to save them.
    I am happy to say that we have reached a time in our great country where oppression of any race of people is long gone.
    African Americans have made great strives in this country, there are  African Americans doctors, scientist,judges, TV Hostmovies and shows,actors,news commentators,senators,governors,presidents of the USA,many  African Americans multi millionares and the list goes on.

    This is an old trick with some politicians with nothing in their record to speak of who try to make the public think that the country is in chaos and they will solve everything.

    Lets face it Trump is rough around the edges and he ruffles alot of feathers but he is not a politician,he hasn’t learned to be a phony like them. He shoots from the hip and speaks the truth and most of all he gets the job done. The country has never in better shape.
    He needs to be judged on his deeds and not his personalty.
    Please don’t buy into Nancy and her band of puppet cronies hatred.
    Do what’s right for the country.
    God bless all of you

    The National Academy of Medicine reports to the United States government on health issues. In 2017 they did a study on marijuana and reported the following : "Cannabis use is likely to increase the risk of developing schizophrenia and other psychoses." Interesting how the liberal press forgot about this.



  44. Rita Lawrence on April 20, 2020 at 2:18 pm

    This is a "Gateway drug" to Awakening to our own health and healing….our own power and freedoms….free the plant and the people behind it.



  45. Peter McCann on April 20, 2020 at 2:18 pm

    Most Republican voters in Texas support cannabis reform, including me. Stop the stupid…
