Wake Up, People! The only reason Cannabis is not legal(@this late date) in America is because blacks may potentially benefit Financially and of course free labor prison stock would fall off tremendously!
Marijuana is a bad idea
*OH NOOO! Not another Jeff Sessions wannabe! Congress needs to de-schedule cannabis now!*
We were so close to legalization, then the trump administration showed trying to go back to the 50s
More tax dollars wasted on weed. Money needs to be used to eliminate hard drugs .not something that doesn’t destroy families! We can see from history how alcohol prohibition worked out!
Abolish all these new marijuana laws.. I doubt it’s going to happen.
Legalize it fools.
Why can’t these people just die
It’s funny how you can just watch the commentator and before he even speaks you know he’s a libertarian
Ok it’s cannabis for one. I don’t think Trump would go after State Rights.
William Barr is a terrorist from the Bush Administration did everyone forget about the Twin Towers? Classified confidential 9/11 papers us disgusting worthless useless Americans didn’t deserve the truth? Nope not from the president known as a terrorist called bush like his terrorist dad and Grandpa he helped cover up 9/11
"YEAH.. MARIJUANA IS SO DANGEROUS, MARIJUANA WILL GET IN THE HANDS OF CHILDREN, DEVILS LETTUCE"
*Smokes Newport and takes a sip of Jack Daniels*
These old dirtbags need to die off already! Bigger things going on in the world and were talking about banning marijuana smh
Its gonna be made federally legal under a republican administration. Democrats are good for nothing.
Legalize it already move on to more important things already
Drugs are bad mkay
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.
No more pills pills are drugs marijuana is medication
Awesome vid!
Nixon was criminalizing the Boomer Generation.
God I Hope Not !!! it’s my medication!!!
Well. Theres someone who now will not get my vote lol
More racist old white men trying to control us.
Well all marijuana and cannabis laws are nule and void for not being clearly defined in English. So everyone needs to sue for Civil Rights racial discrimination. You can sue a cop for saying marijuana, because it is not english. It is a felony charge for cops. They have to define the plant in english which is HEMP.
Smoke Weed Every Day. Legal or not.
It’s not a matter of "could" it’s a matter of "will he", and the answer is YES… bank on it!
The video clip at 4:48 (dude in a marijuana suit and silly hat) is not helping out the cause for national legalization at all…
Most people see that and think, ‘I don’t want that in my neighborhood or near my school’…
We need people in suits with lots of money to lobby congress if we are going to do away with prohibition..
Let Them smoke !
Clearly he is against marijuana. Hopefully he’s true to his word about not wasting resources on this.
Good people do not smoke marijuana
The two Native American House Reps. should invite Barr to have an ‘experience’ in a sweat lodge.
I have no problem with Marijuana being illegal. As long as you start arresting White people for using it and not just people of Color.
It’s real eazy to make it illegal on a federal level. You just need to build enough prisons to hold about half the population and start the round up with a few ex-presidents.
I’m too higgh to careee
I love marijuana.
