  5. Sang Kang on April 19, 2022 at 6:53 pm

    The devils’ lettuce! Tegridy farm coming near you!



  6. Charles Segundo on April 19, 2022 at 6:55 pm

    Y’all are taking your sweet time studying this taking years

    I was listening to Bob Marley with my dogs in my garlic patch one day. 8 black SUVs came tearing down my driveway and ran over my dog. They jumped out with assault rifles put me on the ground with guns to my head, they took my 20 acres, they took $15,000.00, they took my vehicles and sentenced me to 5 years in a corporate corrections facility. My daughter was born while I was in prison, I lost my family, and all I had.Less than 100 miles from my prison and in states both sides of that states border where states where they sell weed at stores. If you don’t legalize weed at the federal level, I say you are committing treason every day you don’t, the majority has 🗳 voted. Is this 🇺🇸America or 🇨🇳 China?



  10. Dune Xapa on April 19, 2022 at 7:02 pm

    Biden’s views are *at least* 50 years out of date. Apparently in the last half century he has not studied the issue much. Maybe he needs another 50 years of study.



  11. yours truly on April 19, 2022 at 7:05 pm

    I support recreational marijuana for all the states 🐯



  12. Charles Goodwin on April 19, 2022 at 7:06 pm

    Decriminalization does not work! People Like Lindsey Graham amd other REPUBLICANs will dot Support States Rights! He won’t allow Compaasionate Medical Marijuana right now! Legalize It or do nothing! Strip the REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS AND THIER DRUG WAR OF THIER POWER!



  13. Dimitrius Constantine on April 19, 2022 at 7:07 pm

    Unfortunately Louisiana is a backwood hillbilly state. Whose values no longer work with modern society. I don’t believe we’ll ever see legalization here. Louisiana would rather drowned in debt. than ever get rid of prohibition of marijuana.



  14. High Class on April 19, 2022 at 7:08 pm

    Phuck Biden



  15. Ernie Glover on April 19, 2022 at 7:09 pm

    Its nice to know who supports legal cannabis. I noticed something that was missing from the story that raised a question. Why did they not report which Republicans running for President support it? Not that it would affect how I vote, it just seems unlikely not one Republican candidate supports it. I’m not implying anything nor am I upset. I only wonder because with as they stated 45% of Republicans are in support yet not one candidate just doesn’t seem likely to me but not impossible.



  16. Stones Durk on April 19, 2022 at 7:09 pm

    Stop complaining of scam and order from the most reliable online store.

  17. Noah Sorensen on April 19, 2022 at 7:11 pm

    How about we all disregard their BS AND SMOKE WHAT WE WANT TO SMOKE! SINCE WHEN DID WE HAVE TO LEGALIZE NATURE?!!!



  18. Justin Chase on April 19, 2022 at 7:14 pm

    another Joe where he goes “ a. guh uh un gug sah uh”



  19. Philip Dressler on April 19, 2022 at 7:14 pm

    Band wagon Trump



  20. Corey Baker on April 19, 2022 at 7:17 pm

    Hundreds of thousands of people smoke weed everyday and most of those people haven’t touched anything else. Its NOT a gateway drug



  21. Omar Omansory on April 19, 2022 at 7:19 pm

    It’s only a gate way drug because u made it bad it’s not in the same group as alcohol or hery or meth or rocks or crack or snow whatever u call It



  24. Godzilla00X on April 19, 2022 at 7:22 pm

    Legalize it federally then let the states decide what they want to do with it



  25. Philip Dressler on April 19, 2022 at 7:25 pm

    We need to stop the stereotype of marijuana and make it legal for everyone



  26. Jkg Gh on April 19, 2022 at 7:25 pm

  28. Dennis Kerner on April 19, 2022 at 7:26 pm

    It’s not a gateway drug. Now alcohol is a gateway drug. That leads people to doing harder drugs that are considered schedule 2. Like cocaine and heroine

  33. onofrio piccolino on April 19, 2022 at 7:30 pm

    Joe Biden is old fashion



  34. Sherry A. Presley on April 19, 2022 at 7:36 pm

    I smoked marijuana to help stop smoking cigarettes. Been stopped for 4 years now. Not a gateway drug.
    Edit: Unless you consider the peer pressure from the dealers you get it from. If legalized, a person won’t have to go to dealers and pushers of other drugs.



  35. Star Wizard Man on The Star Wizard Ranch on April 19, 2022 at 7:37 pm

    free cannabis worldwide



  36. Bridgette Rigney on April 19, 2022 at 7:37 pm

    Past it all around the all states. Need it



  37. BlackNyellow on April 19, 2022 at 7:39 pm

    Nicee



  38. Bridgette Rigney on April 19, 2022 at 7:39 pm

    It’s wrong if one state has it and others don’t



  39. SolarWardenVXGhost on April 19, 2022 at 7:41 pm

    Should be legalized nationally across all 50 states and taxed so the Government can collect taxes from purchases and licenses like Canada. Cannabis is the least harmful drug out of the batch of considered "street drugs’ if your product is clean and not to powerful. It is a gateway drug for some people – but also bcuz that person was influenced most likely from someone else or they chose to do it themselves. Following the "crowd’ your hanging out with doesn’t always work out well, I’ve experienced it myself. The States really need reform on cannabis laws, spend more money on rehabilitation, prevention and awareness programs to educate people instead of sending them to jail. Which is only causing negative effects for that person and their family and friends.✌️



  40. Philip Dressler on April 19, 2022 at 7:42 pm

    We set up the wlright type of business that doesn’t discriminate or give our money to the FBI after there clients get caught screwing around with the DISABILITY people business of MEDICINE and medical marijuana businesses are for DISABILITY people and not the cartels way of violence working with the FBI for r cash!



  41. Duke Nukem on April 19, 2022 at 7:43 pm

    God bless Mary Jane 😜🔥💨

    FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO PARTY!!!
    ENEMIES OF MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION;
    Richard Shelby REPUBLICAN, Alabama,Mitch Mcconnell REPUBLICAN, Kentucky,Ted Cruz REPUBLICAN of Texas,Tom Carpenter Democrat if Delaware,Susan Collins (R-ME,Marco Rubio (R-FL),James Lankford (R-OK),US Surgeon General,Jeremy Adams,Azar is the former president of the U.S. division of Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly and Company, one of the country’s largest drug corporations,Jeff Sessions.
    Other Enemies of the Cannabis Community;Geneseo, N.Y. – Local law enforcement officials from across our area gathered in Livingston County Thursday to voice their opposition to the legalization of marijuana in New York State.  Tom Cotton. the Republican Party.The circle of people on Capitol Hill who will decide if cannabis legislation passes is actually pretty small. There are three names that are continually listed — by lobbyists, advocates, and lawmakers — as the gatekeepers to any federal cannabis legislation: Republican Senators Mike Crapo (ID), Lindsey Graham (SC), and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (KY).
    You are the People that can Weed them out!!!
    Vote this Year!!!



  44. ScootMagoot46 on April 19, 2022 at 7:45 pm

    It’s now 2022. Joe Biden is President, and he is still letting us be arrested for marijuana. Tens of millions of his own voters would like to smack the sh*t out of him right now.



  45. BAR 20 BBQ on April 19, 2022 at 7:47 pm

    Now what I dont get, is that there are 545 commenters on here thus far. if you want cannabis legal start writing your congressmen.if you can write here,you can write them.



  46. Nathan Countyrman on April 19, 2022 at 7:47 pm

    It isn’t a gateway drug I actually it’s helped me quit drinking



  47. Philip Dressler on April 19, 2022 at 7:47 pm

    You know marijuana is called weed for a reason only and the racism behind the marijuana is important

  49. Andrew Brandon on April 19, 2022 at 7:49 pm

    I hoped that us in NC Ihave PTSD, DID, anoxia. THC marijuana not avail in NC. Why does DC have weed everywhere. What about Military PTSD. Certain strains treat all above plus seizures. Make NC have medical thc be sold asap. Biden you know we will never have thc in nc.



  50. Ilovesesshomaru sama on April 19, 2022 at 7:50 pm

    I’m moving from this place anyway so we don’t care. I think North Carolina will eventually lose a lot more young people
