    What if all drugs were legal, but it was illegal to profit or charge money for it?? Money is the real problem, people trying to take advantage of other people and $$ is main tool.

    John here, from Chambersburg, PA….. 48yrs old, Private Contractor by trade and a Recovered Heroin Addict since 2007…..Im so blessed….yet, I can’t afford medical prices or the card since I lost work and wages since March Covid Lockdown….. I cant afford black market much longer either…..
    Just last week, Drug Task Force raids my home after pinching my cousin for thefts, who is a heavily known actively using addict…. Begs me for 3 freagn days to hook him up with an oz…. Ive BEGGED him to try concentrates….Its what SAVED MY LIFE AND HAS KEPT ME HEROIN-FREE FOR PAST 13 YEARS…..I DID 4.5Yrs in prison as a result of my 2007 arrest. I’ve been off parole going on 5 years, now. I work harder and I have a home, family , kidz and grandkidz, just like EVERYONE else…..and I am far from what I once was for a short devastating part of my life, when I was first introduced to heroin in 2004. I carry much shame and guilt and paid a dear price with my life….I am far removed from that time in my life, but NEVER forgotten….
    I decided when Covid-19 hit, and with all of the media hyping the event coupled by the riots, i thought NOW might be a good time to learn hydroponics…..i can grow ANYTHING, From lettuce to peas, and other viney veggies as well as cannabis , which if and when the all-mighty dollar FAILS, I just may have something worth its weight in GOLD, to trade and barter with, in times of NEED……I spent 18hrs a day, since March, learning how to propagate, clone, veg and bloom cannabis, I had just mastered the craft as a true ARTISAN able to grow the ABSOLUTE Dankest and most potent flower I have ever had the privilege to taste…..I had absolutely phenomenal phenos of a clone-only Headband strain and my prized Cherry Cookies and Cherry Cookie Silver, that I bred myself…..I had one ready to harvest and one 3 wks from harvest and all others were clones in veg with some new clones and new seedlings of Gelato, and King of Hearts…..i was literally getting ready to sort the males and get my next 2 stongest winners for my next bloom phase………I only had a 3×3 tent for veg and a 4×4 tent for bloom….4 plants maximum, was the most I could grow at any one time…..and they mask up and smash my door in an steal all my plants, all my lights, all my fans and filters and bust all my rigs and bongs in my yard into tiny glass peices for my kidz to walk on…..all becuz I smoke pot….NEED pot…and it is what keeps me SANE
    …. now im facing a 15-30yr sentence, all because i wanted so badly to save a life like it saved mine……
    Im in AWE….and have NEVER felt so betrayed and violated in ALL my years and this whole time, I’ve never been more proud of myself……..smh, in disbelief…..I am truly feeling hopeless and abandoned as this should have NEVER , EVER been allowed to happen……my history of where I’ve been and how far ive come, speaks for itself……I know better than TO SELL DRUGS, this time, i beleived I was helpn to save a life and we all know it isn’t free…..im so dissappointed in myself, its beyond shame……
    If anyone knows ANYONE who may be able to help me, I would surely appreciate it…..Thank You for your KINDNESS !
    I beleive that ANY life, is worth saving….

    Medical Marijuana is a nice concept, but a cruel concept in reality. Politicians bled the community dry with taxes and locked how many people up, only for years later to put them selves in a position to be the supplier themselves. We’ve became a narco state in a sense due to politicians greed and corruption.

    John Bohenner anybody? Though what he did was legal, it’s not funny if not peculiar as to why he stepped away from government to invest in the marijuana industry? So much superior morale that they beat down Americans throats with a hammer. To the point Americans were called terrorists for participating in the black market…but who’s the dealers, or middle men now?

    It’s great for tax revenue! So it’s only good if a politician can gain profit? The hell with PA and our archaic laws enforced by hypocrites and ridiculous amounts of taxes.

    If politicians actually did the bidding of the people it would’ve been legal decades ago. That’s according to their own polls too. How many people are hooked on opiates subsequently after our troops invading Afghanistan? They recognize the epidemic they’ve played a part in creating, but continue to drag their feet on this particular issue.

    Politicians are parasites. Grow your own. Apparently they think that little of the police too when they use them as almost like a mafia to punish those who don’t do their drugs. It’s their drugs destroying the country too

    protip: The vertical format is terrible on youtube. Most youtubers are on their tv or computers. If you’re gonna do this , try putting it on snap instead.

    You guys are so full of s*** it’s f****** double the price to go buy it at a dispensary then it is for me to go f****** get off the street

    leaving California and moving to this PA/NJ area has been the worst decision of my life.
    the MMJ programs/dispensaries out here compared to California are just laughable
    =(

    Hurry the fuck up DELEWARE!!!



  13. Stalin Mesa on June 24, 2021 at 8:34 pm

    Alcohol is 10x worse due the fact that the more you drink the more you want to keep drinking and IT CAN CAUSE DEATH!!! These legislators need to research 😭 Cannabis is obviously medicine and it’s never a gateway drug‼️



  14. Stoney Vision on June 24, 2021 at 8:34 pm

    Its 2020 still not legalized. Forget the money for now. Do whats right for the people. Free the weed



  15. Matt King on June 24, 2021 at 8:36 pm

    Unfortunately here in Delaware we have a very vocal “reefer madness” minority coupled with a dictatorial anti-marijuana Governor who thinks his word should be the final say. Won’t be happening here until we get this dickweed John Carney out of office. Even if the state Senate passes a bill he has said he will veto it. Fucking asshole.



  16. Kenneth Gambone on June 24, 2021 at 8:38 pm

    It’s taking to long
