House passes bill to decriminalize marijuana, but it won't get past the Senate

A Gallup poll shows 68 percent of Americans support legalization of marijuana. Today, the House passed a bill that would decriminalize marijuana, but it’s unlikely to get a vote in the Senate. For access to live and exclusive video from CNBC subscribe to CNBC PRO: https://cnb.cx/2NGeIvi

    This f*cking world. Hundreds of thousands are killed from alcohol related incidents, and millions suffer from the abuse.

    When was the last time you heard about someone who was beat to death cause someone smoked too much pot?

    Listen, when I watched this video on YouTube by Japanese media, there were something weird things that I felt.
    Almost all of the comments are
    “Hey, look at this everyone. The DRUG effects badly. All the people who take marijuana go mad. So, we shouldn’t make legal them in Japan!!!😡”.
    90% of Japanese think them together — marijuana and drugs(stimulants, cocaine and heroin).
    I was really surprised that here is totally different.
    I think that Japanese are making the public opinion “Marijuana is illegal, so they are bad” because some people want to defend their vested interests (police, pharmaceutical company, tobacco company and politician).
    EVERYDAY I see wrong or incorrect news are reported and they trust them.
    I want you to notice this reality in Japan.

    Could have would have shoulda

    Senator Mitch McConnell is a BIG INVESTOR in PRISON 4 PROFIT IN US – This is the main reason why he hates LEGAL WEED!



  5. Andrew Warren on October 12, 2021 at 9:00 am

    South Dakota governor overturned the will of the people and denied legalization.



  6. BL4Z1NG F1R3 on October 12, 2021 at 9:00 am

    It’s natural medicine. There is side effects like everything else, but it’s not refined and made like crack or meth. The reason we have a problem is because we criminalize it. People get from shady dealers, and it leads to worse drugs. Marijuana is not a gateway drug.



  7. Bob Anderson on October 12, 2021 at 9:01 am

    I will never stop dealing with cracklady on Telegram she is the best vendor for drugs and weed



  8. dark on October 12, 2021 at 9:02 am

    legalize all psychedelics. MDMA passed phase 3 clinical trials in flying colors. This is the mental health renaissance



  9. Travis Fadness on October 12, 2021 at 9:02 am

    Hey Senate, get ur head outta ur ass and legalize it. The new modern day problem is the Senate. I’m leaving the state I’m in to sanctify myself in another. I mean really,?? is the Senate being paid to, or has wanted to be hypocritical for this. Marijuana makes angels. The Senate is on vacation …in Jamaica !!



  10. jamzach on October 12, 2021 at 9:03 am

    Pass it already. It’s the person’s choice. Not
    yours!



  11. MickeyVee on October 12, 2021 at 9:03 am

    I honestly cannot wait until these prehistoric geriatric dinosaur politicians finally croak so we can move forward on common sense changes to these archaic laws.



  12. Lil Wolf 🐺 on October 12, 2021 at 9:05 am

    It should be legalized and treated the same way alcohol is if Canada and Mexico can do it we can also people would be less worried about buying weed off the street’s that has been sprayed with something harmful on purpose form their enemies.



  13. sureiguess1 on October 12, 2021 at 9:07 am

    LEGALIZE IT ALREADY. Generations will look back and say, took them long enough.



  14. Kahmoj on October 12, 2021 at 9:07 am

    This would benefit the economy to the tune of billions of dollars in the first year, it would be insane not to pass it



  15. Philip Dressler on October 12, 2021 at 9:08 am

    You said weed causes short ter. Memory loss



  16. J R on October 12, 2021 at 9:09 am

  19. Philip Dressler on October 12, 2021 at 9:16 am

    Legalization of marijuana will also stop NORMAL homosexual women power because you don’t have to vote for their dictatorship in America



  20. mona cicciarella on October 12, 2021 at 9:18 am

    Le the criminals making money; they will have the monopoly, legalize and add millions of jobs and also all those tax dollars. Testing of all products mandatory, add a store everywhere where alcohol is sold. Yes it is the same as maybe you prefer wine, liquor, etc….why is it ok to you to have a drink … I have never seen a doctor prescribe alcohol for pain. As for gateway I do not believe that since I know to many people that have used it the same as a social drinker. Some will become alcoholics and yes some may use drugs, I can guaranty you prescription narcotics is usually at the root of addiction.

    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".



  22. Philip Dressler on October 12, 2021 at 9:19 am

    There were calling me saying they were spending too much money on men and trying to extort Marin county men because they needed money for lawyers to help clensning in Marin county

  33. Shantelle Adeline on October 12, 2021 at 9:33 am

    My husband used these CBD products from Weedborn and he is very pleased.



  34. Mike of Indy on October 12, 2021 at 9:34 am

    Here we are, one month later and the senate is now democratically controlled. Would you like to give this stance a second opinion ?



  35. Subfortress on October 12, 2021 at 9:38 am

    🇺🇸The Senate is totally fired when the Green House comes on line, Democracy is awesome.🇺🇸



  36. Philip Dressler on October 12, 2021 at 9:40 am

  37. Gunny Sauce on October 12, 2021 at 9:42 am

    80% of Americans want it legalized, wake up congress



  38. Philip Dressler on October 12, 2021 at 9:43 am

    Even when you cut. The power off



  39. billny thehighestguy on October 12, 2021 at 9:44 am

    The government is so dumb having states that are legal and having states that are illegal near obviously is going to create a money making cartel. The difference is cartels sell to kids legal dispensary’s don’t. If all states were legal they couldn’t traffick it



  40. Philip Dressler on October 12, 2021 at 9:45 am

    Damon Stoudemire Terrell Brandon Mark Price Brevin Knight 6’0 feet and under back in my day in San Francisco



  41. Ernie H on October 12, 2021 at 9:45 am

    i wish the F*ing system would catch up with reality vs. nasty propaganda from these old white men like McConell



  42. Jay H on October 12, 2021 at 9:46 am

    Proof you aren’t in a free country. When over 67% of this nation wants marijuana legalized…and 100 men and senate women…can say no. Millions of free citizens want it. " Nope. Sorry. Us 100 people who make over 200k a year…..say no."

    Free….my…..ass.



  43. Lisa H on October 12, 2021 at 9:48 am

    I honestly cannot believe it is STILL not legal in a 1st world country like the US. Phew, the amount of money the government can save and make from legalizing….They need to realize also it’s not like crazy mass mayhem when it’s legal, not a big deal at all. Too many " big wigs" have stigmatized a plant. Really need to worry more about prescription opioids and the sort. Oh and by the way, I dont smoke it or use it in any way.



  44. Philip Dressler on October 12, 2021 at 9:48 am

    Make us spend way too much on security for DISABILITY people and making it worse for us because they couldn’t understand they new type of DISABILITY people thats they weren’t used to in California public schools system



  45. james bish on October 12, 2021 at 9:49 am

    will weed ever be legal nationally 😩



  46. Cahzinar X on October 12, 2021 at 9:50 am

    This iant their businesa to begin with. Support it or not, vote yes on decriminalizing. If any tyrant dare to vote no he suould have his head wripped off by a mob and put on a spike.



  47. billny thehighestguy on October 12, 2021 at 9:50 am

    I guess the government likes cartels selling to kids still if the senate can’t pass it



  48. Bully Life on October 12, 2021 at 9:51 am

    Republicans once again stepping on happiness everywhere lol. Who smokes weed and commits crimes? I find it difficult to walk to the fridge for a snack.
