    How can you buy stock in something that is still federally illegal?



  3. Johnny Fercik on April 17, 2022 at 6:35 pm

    All we need is weed, cigarettes, food, and the Internet, and electric haha



  4. Jeremy Manley on April 17, 2022 at 6:36 pm

    Great, one more thing for them to f up.
    Please just leave it illegal..



  5. Robert Tyree on April 17, 2022 at 6:36 pm

    stop big foreign companies from coming in America



  6. t on April 17, 2022 at 6:38 pm

    I’m sure they got their fingers in that piggy bank somewhere May 3rd of 2022 America will default



  7. Ricky on April 17, 2022 at 6:40 pm

    Now their thinking with their walletsπŸ‘



  8. E Jackson on April 17, 2022 at 6:41 pm

    meanwhile the legal cannabis industry is failing because of high taxes. especially in california. they are growing it legally then selling illegally to black market dealers.



  9. Aaron Hopkins on April 17, 2022 at 6:41 pm

    I hope soon our government will legalise or decriminalise it here in Australia. FREE THE WEED !!



  10. Steve Snyder on April 17, 2022 at 6:45 pm

    3 years makes Tilray experts? joke central!!!!



  11. Grey Man on April 17, 2022 at 6:46 pm

    Why do they need to tax everything? The government has too much power now, and more taxes just makes them more powerful. Repeal all cannabis laws and stay out of my pockets.



  12. JamesM on April 17, 2022 at 6:46 pm

    Instead of a nation of just stupid people, we will have a nation of lazy, stoned & stupid people



  13. Ted Vargovich on April 17, 2022 at 6:47 pm

    Some of the taxes goes towards the War on DrugsπŸ‘ they can watch drug dealers for more years at a time without having to worry about their budgetπŸ˜‰



  14. Matthew Coolness on April 17, 2022 at 6:48 pm

    Can we please decriminalize small amounts of all narcotics, and stop treating Adults like children? People are going to do them regardless, so let’s stop wasting the Cops, & Courts time, & focus on treatment for those who are addicts.



  15. John Hutchinson on April 17, 2022 at 6:48 pm

    A lot of us really hope this passes. The extra tax could help our country big time and be able to start up programs for the homeless and it would bring more jobs into our country. I’m 100 percent disabled but I could get a part time job during trimming season to make a few extra bucks so I can buy things for my grandchildren and help others that need help. I’m on so many dangerous meds that it worries me every time I take them and taking cannabis wouldn’t cause so much harm to our bodies like these opium based medicines do. I’m not talking about this delta 9 thc that’s man made. It doesn’t have the other cbds and other good medicine like that fake delta 9. And plus it would relieve a lot of the jail’s from cannabis arrest and be able to have space for dangerous criminals. Alcoholic drinks has caused one to many deaths also. I’m sure there’s a few people that would stop hard drugs and liquor so much if cannabis was legalized. So please help our country while we have a chance.



  16. Echo on April 17, 2022 at 6:49 pm

    Tilray and Aurora have tanked big time over the last year.



  17. Jason Firewalker on April 17, 2022 at 6:49 pm

    How about after 90 years of destroying lives to justify their budget the Fed deserve ZERO profits from pot.
    In fact. I want reperations.



  18. Imyur Salty Hucklebearer on April 17, 2022 at 6:51 pm

    Might as well make money on it. The government can’t stop a plant. IT JUST A PLANT PUSSIES



  24. Scott Denn on April 17, 2022 at 6:58 pm

    Pass laws to legalize weed, raise taxes on the working class and those who have side gigs as 2nd & 3rd jobs. I see this Administration has their priorities in place.



  25. Chris Paul on April 17, 2022 at 7:01 pm

    I have moved so much weed from west to east . New York port of authority is scary. Love my Vermonters.

  37. Glenn Blackburn on April 17, 2022 at 7:15 pm

    About time it’s medicine holistic medicine



  38. t on April 17, 2022 at 7:18 pm

    Yeah they want to legalize it because they know people are getting pissed the f*** off because of their actions so they’re trying to figure out how to keep people at Bay everything is a lie everything is a scam everything is trickery brainwash manipulation demoralization the list goes on and on wake up



  39. Bryce Bullard on April 17, 2022 at 7:18 pm

    Decriminalization isn’t the same as legalization.



  40. Santiago Duron on April 17, 2022 at 7:18 pm

    I have epilepsy and I know some of you may not agree but I’ve taken 3 different medications since I was 16 and I was diagnosed with epilepsy cause of grand maul seizures in that was in 2015 I have been to 3 different neurologists…. Each time I go to one it’s always try this pill try this pill… now I’ve been on divalprolex for almost 5 years and my neurologist is saying it’s not doing good things to my liver and I’m still having seizures not as often but I do have them still. He doesn’t really know what to say except we’re probably gonna have to try a new pill soon cause my body is getting use to it…. I use to use marijuana right before bed and now I can’t cause of some stuff that happened a few months back .. I just don’t understand why a plant that can really help people sleep and helps with pain, is illegal.



  41. Shabu Dallah on April 17, 2022 at 7:19 pm

    The war on drugs is a failure and does more harm than good!



  42. Zac Fabian on April 17, 2022 at 7:20 pm

    In MY OPINION,.. it’s better than alcohol that’s for sure…



  43. Barry Carley on April 17, 2022 at 7:21 pm

    Only give the people what they want…..if it will keep us in power……never waste a catastrophe…..always divert attention away from the real problems…..create a problem….become the solution…..OK, back to the pens everybody πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘



  44. Kevin Dahlberg on April 17, 2022 at 7:23 pm

    Hopefully the FMCSA will stop drug testing truckers for it…
