    Big Pharma would probably go out of business overnight if weed was actually legalized. Still ok to get wasted at sports events and start fights, though.

    Legalize it all the way, I’m trying to be a farmer



  3. Ginger Pease on May 20, 2021 at 7:03 pm

    It’s a harmless plant and should have never been made illegal in the first place. "Blackmarket", you mean the stuff we grow in our gardens or the local stuff that isn’t taxed to hell?



  4. Nick Hines on May 20, 2021 at 7:03 pm

    The government is like a child afraid to put their toe in the bathtub, Canada just legalized, why can’t we follow their agenda!!!



  5. EXPLORING WITH MUSCLE THE RUSSELL on May 20, 2021 at 7:07 pm

  6. bryan fox on May 20, 2021 at 7:08 pm

  7. Carlos Cifuentez on May 20, 2021 at 7:09 pm

  9. Douglas on May 20, 2021 at 7:15 pm

  10. William McCartney on May 20, 2021 at 7:15 pm

  11. fishy dubs fishing on May 20, 2021 at 7:15 pm

    Anything natural should not be illegal



  12. John Smith on May 20, 2021 at 7:16 pm

    Hey I’m going to take what you need to survive and I’m going to give you I’m going to give you a bag of weeds and return yeah yeah that’s what I’m going to do



  13. the antagonizer on May 20, 2021 at 7:21 pm

    Just make it legal in the US



  14. Watcher6969 on May 20, 2021 at 7:21 pm

    I have been smoking the wonderful weed since 1974, never busted and no health issues.
    If I smoked tobacco I would be sick right now like my friends and family that did.



  15. Tonio Yendis on May 20, 2021 at 7:22 pm

    We the people want it legalized!



  16. Three Shocks shocker on May 20, 2021 at 7:23 pm

    Our bodys are made for the sweet leaf. It’s a fact.



  17. Prod. Iseesiah on May 20, 2021 at 7:25 pm

  18. Todd Hansen on May 20, 2021 at 7:27 pm

  19. Hugh Jecoque on May 20, 2021 at 7:30 pm

    People – Don’t tell me what I can or can’t do with my body
    Also People – You’re not allowed to smoke or do drugs to your own body, I don’t agree with it.



  20. dark on May 20, 2021 at 7:33 pm

    people that think cannabis should be illegal clearly haven’t done their homework



  21. bruce neander on May 20, 2021 at 7:33 pm

    Been smoking marijuana since 1986 feel good about my choice. I stopped from 1997 to 2019 I feel better when I have cannabis in my system from time to time. Iam happier when I consume Some.I micro dose I don’t get trashed and even so if I over do it is at home.



  22. Sha Smi on May 20, 2021 at 7:34 pm

    And let’s add psychedelics to this list. Also it’s insane that I can’t grow poppies and score the pods and get a little opium for myself…. I’m a grown adult and I should be able to do what I want with plants and fungus that I grow and take care of. Just as I grow and take care of my body and should be able to do with it what I want. These drug laws are absurd!



  23. Manny Vargas on May 20, 2021 at 7:37 pm

    Where does cbd fall under



  24. Roy Henson on May 20, 2021 at 7:37 pm

    I can’t like this video because its on 420.. I hate to ruin that..



  25. walter tobin on May 20, 2021 at 7:37 pm

    FREE THE PLANT!!!
    We want to grow our own medicine.
    FREE THE PLANT!!!



  26. Hoe Blow on May 20, 2021 at 7:39 pm

    Kids would have more memories of a hungry father coming home instead of a drunken angry father if weed was legal



  27. Moe Money on May 20, 2021 at 7:39 pm

    So basically all the people that hated weed now want stock and shares in weed. As long as YOU the one making the money…so sad how a dollar dictate our well-being.



  28. S. Nihilista on May 20, 2021 at 7:40 pm

    Support your neighborhood supplier 😉😎



  29. Zasito on May 20, 2021 at 7:40 pm

  32. MAKING CANNABIS LEGAL AGAIN on May 20, 2021 at 7:43 pm

  33. ski man on May 20, 2021 at 7:43 pm

    I’m old now but I’m glad weed was illegal when I was a kids. Yep, I was a pothead and sneaking off to get high with my friends was the best thing in the world.

  35. William Cassone on May 20, 2021 at 7:44 pm

    BIG PHARMA AND AMAZON WIL BE IN TOTAL CONTROL OF LEGAL CANNABIS FOR SURE.



  36. tim kahn on May 20, 2021 at 7:44 pm

    its very strange too have a prohibition on weed . people knew from the start in 1905 or so it was bull . every nonsense has been used to keep the prohibition started has been proven to be made up nonsense. the only people against legal weed are religious fanatics and the prisons for profit people using graft to the elected who face it are the real problem.



  37. Me_LT on May 20, 2021 at 7:45 pm

    Any politician trying to block marijuana legalization should be taken out, either from politics or with a bullet imo. Gunking up our democracy and ignoring the will of the people for personal gain is an attack on every one of us and should be dealt with as such, without mercy or sympathy.



  38. Alex on May 20, 2021 at 7:46 pm

    All 49 states in the US and The Known World will be Legal Smoke and TEXAS will still be ‘locking um’ up ‘burp, lets goofer’ ah beer’
    More private prisons $$$ than all 49 states put together aka The Prison State.. Matthew McConaughey in 22′



  39. Waylon Axe on May 20, 2021 at 7:46 pm

    Legalize Vodka !!!



  40. bruce neander on May 20, 2021 at 7:47 pm

  41. Marcus Mariota on May 20, 2021 at 7:48 pm

    ReTrumpliKlans like to let people be drunk mentally ill retards with automatic guns but say F U to anyone who uses reefer for a HUGE list of medical reasons, diagnosed or not. A NATURALLY EXISTING medicine.



  42. Chum MD on May 20, 2021 at 7:48 pm

    The legalization of Marijuana throughout the United States will save lives produce thousands of jobs trillions in taxes which will provide everything America needs .no more homelessness health care for all who need it etc etc. The possibilities are endless .



  43. EXPLORING WITH MUSCLE THE RUSSELL on May 20, 2021 at 7:49 pm

  44. Tyler Johnson on May 20, 2021 at 7:49 pm

  46. JVONROCK on May 20, 2021 at 7:53 pm

  48. Robert Cameron on May 20, 2021 at 7:56 pm
