    Nathan D Elders advocates spiritual marijuana use.

    Only drugs are manufactured…marijuana is a plant……..



  4. June Bordelon on May 28, 2021 at 7:38 pm

  5. I'm right you're wrong on May 28, 2021 at 7:40 pm

    My State is good.



  6. CrowdPleeza on May 28, 2021 at 7:41 pm

    Why is marijuana causing chronic vomiting with some people?

    TEXAS officials won’t even let us vote on it. They just vote themselves and decide for us.



  8. MrSpeedDemon72 on May 28, 2021 at 7:43 pm

    Americans embrace it, but Republicans say FU!! LOL. the Dems just passed it in the House but McConnael says no way, we don’t care about your freedom!! Thanks KY for voting that corrupt a hole back to the Senate.



  9. J Ray on May 28, 2021 at 7:44 pm

    Kentucky will never approve of this. They may be amongst the last people to allow marijuana in their state. Conservatives don’t like change.



  10. Christopher Marrero on May 28, 2021 at 7:45 pm

    I’d never expect D.C to legalize weed and even go one step further and legalize Shrooms . It’s very interesting. I don’t know why I expected D.C to be way more strict on these matters . But I’m pleasantly surprised.



  11. Richard jamaica on May 28, 2021 at 7:45 pm

    Nice like rice



  12. Stonerman15 on May 28, 2021 at 7:49 pm

    Legalize it! All 50 states!



  13. The Clutch on May 28, 2021 at 7:51 pm

    one day i hope every drug will be available at every corner drug store so the black market could go away.



  14. Владимр Гордеев on May 28, 2021 at 7:54 pm

    Mjworld.store 👍



  15. Mc Coop on May 28, 2021 at 7:54 pm

    PA better hurry up or im moving to Jersey



  16. quannifer on May 28, 2021 at 7:55 pm

    NC it’s your turn.



  17. Mike Be on May 28, 2021 at 7:55 pm

    Marijuana is NOT a drug
    it’s a plant



  18. Brian Jones on May 28, 2021 at 7:55 pm

    Texas so need this bad right now ..



  19. Christian and Leslee Lengyel on May 28, 2021 at 7:55 pm

    Biden hates weed



  20. A Henriquez on May 28, 2021 at 7:56 pm

    And yes legalize marijuana in NJ for recreational



  21. Recon Smith on May 28, 2021 at 7:56 pm

    This just another way to make citizens slaves to the wealthy socialist party.



  22. michael burns on May 28, 2021 at 7:57 pm

    If “YOU” were Corvain Cooper



  23. oohwee oohwee on May 28, 2021 at 8:00 pm

    I’ve been out on bail going on two years facing two to ten for less than a gram of marijuana. Sweet home Alabama. SMH



  24. SK Live on May 28, 2021 at 8:00 pm

    Trump four more years. Biden stole the election.



  25. Richard Ganus on May 28, 2021 at 8:01 pm

    Decriminalization equals no more kickbacks to politicians, and another source of federal and state revenue.



  26. Ɗɾσ𐌶ҽყ on May 28, 2021 at 8:01 pm

    This is our country.
    Lets do what we really want to do and legalize it nationwide.



  27. Bilbo Baggins on May 28, 2021 at 8:01 pm

    Some people don’t have a year to wait. They already have cancer, they don’t wanna die.

    The government’s own websites publish studies that prove THC/CDB kills cancer cells.

    And quit calling it a "drug" you guys are on pills. Just cause a Dr gave you those pills don’t mean you’re not on drugs.



  28. AR H on May 28, 2021 at 8:02 pm

    Go legal for every one please it’s as safe safer than cigarettes



  29. Candeliveryshop on May 28, 2021 at 8:05 pm

  30. Ian Folmar on May 28, 2021 at 8:05 pm

    ANY USA TAXPAYER WHOMEVER WAS NOT PERMITTED INTO THE U.S. MILITARY FOR THC SHOULD BE APOLOGIZED TO N RETRO – COMPENSATED…



  31. Kevin Tewey on May 28, 2021 at 8:06 pm

    Your opinion is just your opinion if you’re not a doctor



  32. havel twink on May 28, 2021 at 8:06 pm

    Yes we do embrace Marijuana. Most everyone I talk to is for it one way or another



  33. Weirdo on May 28, 2021 at 8:07 pm

    The bible states are, and will be the only thing holding it back from recreational use. I think once it’s universally legalized as a medical treatment in the United states, it will be a done deal for recreational usage right after. It’s not a matter of if but when.



  34. Norven Aux on May 28, 2021 at 8:07 pm

    Anyone who isn’t in favor clearly has never gotten high before …



  35. Eiko Huang on May 28, 2021 at 8:07 pm

    Professional grow tent manufacturer



  36. John Casey on May 28, 2021 at 8:07 pm

    I’m from Oregon. I didn’t realize there was such a stigma about drug use… People here generally are okay with all drugs as long as it’s not hurting anyone else. It’s pretty libertarian honestly.



  37. A Henriquez on May 28, 2021 at 8:09 pm

    Corey booker for president 2024 that man has been a great politician a upstanding mayor when we the people had him in Newark I think that man is a really a born leader for the next generations to come



  38. Lifted Moonlight on May 28, 2021 at 8:09 pm

  39. C SwanSong on May 28, 2021 at 8:10 pm

  44. SolarWardenVXGhost on May 28, 2021 at 8:21 pm

    The states is behind Canada in terms of laws and acceptability of cannabis by the Government of it’s use by it’s citizens. A lot of people are prosecuted in America for simple possession of cannabis.



  45. mercury13 on May 28, 2021 at 8:21 pm

    Think about it………… They got their money in marijuana stocks all day look it up STOCKS: ACRDF, ACB, CGC, HEXO, OGI, TGODF and probably VFF….



  46. David on May 28, 2021 at 8:22 pm

    Marijuana was legal in the U.S. until 1935. You could buy it at a pharmacy. Same with cocaine. And the pharmacist would tell you how to use the drugs you wanted and if you misused them that was your personal decision not the fault of the pharmacist or pharmacy. Back to the past.



  47. Regular Guy Fixes on May 28, 2021 at 8:26 pm

    Buy sundial stock before it’s to late…robinhood



  48. AR H on May 28, 2021 at 8:28 pm

  49. Eye on art on May 28, 2021 at 8:31 pm

    Texas acts like their diapers are full and dragging the ground on pot. Enough its time is now!



  50. HHN Vault on May 28, 2021 at 8:31 pm
