    Big tobacco kills 7million people a year and alcohol kills 95,000 people a year. But i cant smoke marijuana.

    If they fine people they should be able to sell to pay back fines not lock up people for fines



  3. Space Gun on September 14, 2021 at 11:47 pm

    No because then Florida will keep it medically desantis is a piece of shit who only cares about himself he doesn’t care about the pot community at all to him we’re junkies absolute Karen.



  4. Sims Simms on September 14, 2021 at 11:50 pm

    No. Biden wants it illegal.



  5. Quest4Unknown on September 14, 2021 at 11:51 pm

    On a federal level it needs to be legal our Veterans need natural healing not pills. To be able to obtain healthy resources should be recognized by our Federal government



  6. Smile Always on September 14, 2021 at 11:52 pm

    Legalize!



  7. PIO on September 14, 2021 at 11:52 pm

    I just hope it doesn’t take a full century to legalize it…



  8. ehhhhhhhhhh on September 15, 2021 at 12:05 am

    If a conservative state like South Dakota will make it legal, the war on drugs is over. The drugs won. Legalize it nationally and stop locking people up for owning plants.

    Depending on one stream of income have never make any one an earnings check don’t put your hope on forbes

    The Gateway to hard core drugs. Nobody prospers using weeds and drugs just like nobody prospers smoking cigarettes.



  11. SocietysRejects on September 15, 2021 at 12:11 am

    Legalize All



  12. Gerry Weed on September 15, 2021 at 12:11 am

    It’s been legal in Canada for 3 years and nothing serious has happened . in addition, thousands of new jobs, and a decrease in alcohol consumption which is far worse than cannabis. You can overdose on alcohol and / or street drugs and die from it, but dying from an overdose of cannabis doesn’t exist.

    anti-pot movement has forged a powerful coalition of educators, law enforcement and health care players.



  14. Black Drop on September 15, 2021 at 12:12 am

    How about 2090.. πŸ˜‚



  15. 007cheeesepuff on September 15, 2021 at 12:13 am

    federal govt needs to get on board already.



  16. Jaron Pope on September 15, 2021 at 12:13 am

    One major problem is that companies can fire you for smoking weed, even though you did not smoke weed or be high at work. That shit has to stop immediately!



  17. jimbo tho on September 15, 2021 at 12:15 am

    No πŸ‘Ž they won’t.



  18. Taren Gibson on September 15, 2021 at 12:16 am

  19. Deshaun Tellez on September 15, 2021 at 12:17 am

    WTH(eck) full, complete legalization NOW!



  20. Skin Fluit Hero on September 15, 2021 at 12:18 am

    I could give a shit about the states when I have a federal job because unless it’s federally legal I’ll never be able to smoke it and keep my career.



  21. Ghost β€’ on September 15, 2021 at 12:19 am

    They are all high AF πŸ™‚



  22. Ell Quilliams on September 15, 2021 at 12:21 am

    If you claim to be a conservative you need to realize that substance consumption is a rights issue… It is your right at your own risk to consume any substance



  23. Strain Catcher on September 15, 2021 at 12:23 am

    Decriminalize it but it’s still federally illegal? Lol



  24. Fujimoose on September 15, 2021 at 12:23 am

    But they’re talking about removing marijuana off the controlled substance schedule completely if not rescheduling it. So if it gets removed completely then is it legalized? That’s what jobs arguments are when you take them to court after they fire you for dropping dirty. What would their argument be if it got removed completely?



  25. sowo foxs on September 15, 2021 at 12:24 am

    MAKE IT LEGAL PLS JUST STOP IT AND MAKE IT LEGAL ITS NEVER HURT ANYONE



  26. Del Gryphon on September 15, 2021 at 12:27 am

    What is needed more than anything is the descheduling of cannabis on federal level. It shouldn’t even be on there since schedule ones are classified as "not medically useful" Or something around those lines as I remember. It has been proven to have medical properties. So I sure hope for some common sense progress for our nation. πŸ’œ



  27. Ell Quilliams on September 15, 2021 at 12:28 am

    Cannabis has neuroprotective properties… I have a broken spine and nerve damage… Cannabis is a godsend… Instead of being prescribed cannabis or being allowed to grow my own medicine, I’m denied to work with a broken spine and a misdemeanor stuck in a state full of science denying leeches stealing my little left funds just to avoid being stuck in jail ( something id still have to pay for)… Nobody deserves to wear a badge swearing to serve and protect when the laws they uphold are unjust.



  28. Blackdream on September 15, 2021 at 12:30 am

    First



  29. STOP IBEASTIN on September 15, 2021 at 12:33 am

    Legalization now



  30. Üf on September 15, 2021 at 12:34 am

    I hope so



  31. Slimextendogang on September 15, 2021 at 12:34 am

    Bro so many Americans are in support, stop this stupid nonsense we’re β€œoh we have to do this this this this this this and this” just legalize it,



  32. Frank Chukwumah on September 15, 2021 at 12:37 am

    I like decriminalize more than legalizing marijuana. It just that companies want to make a profit on weed that’s all.



  33. Russell Gray on September 15, 2021 at 12:43 am

    Spot on with this video, I truly believe that this amazing video needs far more attention. I’ll probably be back again to watch more, thanks for this!



  34. Chris P on September 15, 2021 at 12:44 am

    Decriminalization doesn’t help Veterans. Always the Veterans who can be helped the most get forgotten about. I’m sick of this country.
