    Legalize it Nationwide



  8. Cory Lyons Music on August 24, 2021 at 10:45 pm

    Still taking way longer than it should to be legal in every state and at the federal level. Its ridiculous…and now we have a democratic president who actually opposes legalization as well, which makes zero sense. Still have quite the uphill battle to fight.

    Why is marijuana causing chronic vomiting with some people?

    Big victory for states rights supporters and big victory for people who have DISABILITY and people who r learning DISABILITY and people with chronic pain!



  11. Tim Sears on August 24, 2021 at 10:49 pm

    Y not all the states at once, for the rights, freedom, and equality of the people πŸ‘πŸ’šπŸ―



  12. Kong Lee on August 24, 2021 at 10:49 pm

    Marijuana was cool for me when I was in my teen… Now I left it behind me and never look back. It feels like I can breath better…

    Russia subsidizes vodka so all Russians can afford it in bulk. By keeping people intoxicated they won’t notice how bad things are in Russia.
    Lawmakers in the U.S. have the same thing in mind only they want to strangle people with additional taxes while we’re doped up on "pot".

    PENNSYLVANIA NEXT??????



  15. Philip Dressler on August 24, 2021 at 10:52 pm

    So if the cops try to make you into a marijuana child killer and you have a fence they cant poison your child to get hit by a car driven by an undercover agent



  16. Julio G on August 24, 2021 at 10:57 pm

    And yet all these so called "legal states" will still drug test and deny employment for positive marijuana. Its just a big trap



  17. Reply Soon on August 24, 2021 at 10:57 pm

    "…South Dakota and Mississippi…."
    2020 is full of surprises. I never would have seen those kinds of law changes, especially in Mississippi. Finally some good news for once!

    Can someone please help. I developed something weird after I smoked medical marijuana. Very bizarre it’s been 3 years now. This is the first time I’m telling, I decided to be vocal



  22. katazui on August 24, 2021 at 11:08 pm

    Everyone who wants it legal today, you guys can help by going on NORML’s website and emailing your elected officials to approve the MORE Act.



  23. I Know Nothing on August 24, 2021 at 11:08 pm

  24. Gregory Reese on August 24, 2021 at 11:10 pm

  25. Motherfuckermike on August 24, 2021 at 11:10 pm

    God put it here for a reason, making it illegal was just a slap to god



  26. G-Rex Politics on August 24, 2021 at 11:12 pm

    "DC has already legalized marijuana."

    I don’t think it matters what side of the aisle you’re on…

    This should explain a lot.



  27. John Phantom on August 24, 2021 at 11:14 pm

    The Devil’s Lettuce will cause you to go mad! I know, I am crazy now! Hmm… that doesn’t help my argument.

    They should of legalize marijuana when the Country was formed by our Founding Fathers, after the Revolutionary War. The Native Americans, approached George Washington who became the first President of the United States, marijuana plants 🌱 & seeds to be regulated as they dowith tobacco & alcohol, but George Washington who was a tobacco grower, as his father & Grandfather before him, decided NOT to include marijuana with the Govt regulated tobacco and alcohol, because it would hurt the business of tobacco and alcohol 🍺.



  30. Warren West on August 24, 2021 at 11:18 pm

    Alochol and tobacco are worse / make federal law for healing herb / while oxycodone and addicting dilata pills are pushed by big pharma./ Murderers.



  31. Philip Dressler on August 24, 2021 at 11:19 pm

    If Congress wont pass legalization of marijuana the states must past legalization of marijuana



  32. Philip Dressler on August 24, 2021 at 11:19 pm

    This why i seggest you put a fence in front yard so animals and children dont run out of the house and get killed by the cops or your church



  33. Philip Dressler on August 24, 2021 at 11:19 pm

    Stop trying to evict DISABILITY people because of marijuana and stop taking r allowence money away from DISABILITY people!



  34. Robert Renfrow on August 24, 2021 at 11:20 pm

    Any government that criminalizes marijuana is against its citizens!



  35. Dustin Kenny on August 24, 2021 at 11:21 pm

    Marijuana is an addictive drug.
    Being addicted for many years and lying to myself because of the so called β€œevidence” that it does No Harm.

    I challenge all recreational users to stop smoking for more than a month.
    If you cannot then you’re addicted.
    If you relapse, you’re addicted.
    If you feel a need for it, you’re afflicted.
    If you’re more anxious or depressed without it, you’re addicted.

    The fact that marijuana does NOT damage your brain is false. There is new evidence showing correlation to drug abuse, harmful brain effects, and depression/anxiety among individuals that use marijuana recreationally.

    I’ve lived it. I’ve experienced it for over 10 years. Wake up and realize that These agencies promoting propaganda are biased and harming you.

    WAKE UP SOCIETY. Don’t let your lives suffer due to their negligence.

    Work hard, deal with your struggles apart from drugs and alcohol. Build yourself up without those dependencies and I promise, in time, you will succeed if you have the will.



  36. News Tech on August 24, 2021 at 11:21 pm

    Every state should already have legalized medical and recreational. Feds should already have it passed them self’s. The fact they haven’t shows how old you media and politicians really are.. dinosaurs

    The residents will need it after this election 🀣



  47. relic turtle on August 24, 2021 at 11:35 pm

    Ooof some ppl think it’s ok that the u.s. used us for the last 100years as lab rats in the great food experiment of processed foods and concentrations did Any one think that way of hyfructos corn syrup or aspartame or well hundreds of other suto " natural " ingredients and down right harmful chemicals which might I add are consumed in eponetial rates the more down the poverty level you go. .1 docet point is usually tax rates so who and what really needs to to be scrutinized is my question I propose to you. The answer is the overlords that in the end only care about how they can profit. So long as they find viable ways to extort us and controle us at the same time while holding us hostage.



  48. kiiieeechiii on August 24, 2021 at 11:36 pm
