    There are only two kinds of people that oppose the legalization of cannabis the ones that are ignorant on the subject and the ones that make money off of it being illegal.

    Don’t let SJW fools ruin the effort to legalize cannabis. There are only two major parties in America so of course an effective approach has to be ‘GOP friendly’ to a certain extent.

    I love America if it makes money then let’s legalize it haha

    Haha Big Pharma has two lobbyists for every member of Congress. It spends more on lobbying than tobacco, oil and defense contractors combined. Spending millions fighting against the pharmaceutical industry’s agenda is chump change to them. It’s like David and Goliath. Luckily David usually wins.

    Blacks are arrested more for weed than whites because negroids cause more crime and almost always have weed on them. Nogs are 13% of the population, yet cause 86% of ALL CRIME.

    Hey Nushin. Sexy with the glasses lol

    If it is legalized nationwide, I bet my state of Alabama tries to keep it illegal on the state level. They love their guns and alchohol, but will bash your head in if you have a joint.

    Look at all those loser liberals lining up.

    Surprised CBS covers anything cannabis with a positive tone. Too bad they would not run a pro cannabis ad during the NFL championship.

    Why is the south not legalizing cannabis???



  19. Enrique A c on April 15, 2019 at 10:04 pm

    Marijuana help my health and live

    Come on US catch up already. We were the last truly developed country to abolish slavery the last country to fight the Nazis and we might be the last to federally legalize cannabis. Sad. Maybe America has a learning curve.

    Marijuana looby lol! Who’s smoking weed?



  22. Digital Plunder on April 15, 2019 at 10:10 pm

    Supply concerns? Really? Legalize it, trust me my county will be well supplied.



  23. gnarmarmilla on April 15, 2019 at 10:15 pm

    Pretty sad that it cost so much money to get laws and regulations formed in this nation. If this is how it works how will the poor have justice?



  24. Jeff High on April 15, 2019 at 10:16 pm

    Legalize it, wait 15 years for the law suits. "You knew marijuana had health risks and you made it legal anyway, all because you wanted the taxes"

    Funny how the left are pro freedom with cannabis but thinks like "hate speech is wrong". The government need to get out of are personal freedoms that was given by the constitution. Let us do what why want to do with are own bodies.
