    I want gornment mandated DNA testing done for every person born as soon as they are born. Can you imagine the fear that all those cheating women are going to feel? It happens more than you think. Even rich people.

    They should make the legal age for weed 21. Keep in mind I’m all in favor for legalization. Don’t need to smoke and drive its a waste of weed. I want this to be legal. They say it would still be illegal to smoke in public. It’s the same with alcohol. Walking down the street smoking a joint would technically still be punishishable w some slap on the wrist. But, I doubt that now it would be enforced even more now overall. Just smoke on your property.

    Seems like the Government would make marijuana use…mandatory…to further dumb-down Americans into oblivion.



  7. Devon Washington on May 15, 2019 at 7:04 pm

    Cmon Ohio. I guess I need to stop complaining and just move to Colorado.

    Started using marijuana again after 14 years. It has helped me quit methadone and replaced my anxiety and depression medicine. It has been a god send. GOD says in the Bible. I have given all seed bearing plants to YOU

  11. roy romano on May 15, 2019 at 7:09 pm

    Dems took the house. A federal Legalization vote should be coming soon. Especially since Canada’s past it.



  12. mjs1231 on May 15, 2019 at 7:10 pm

    Ridiculous. The only reason it was made illegal was after proabition they wanted a way to fine people. Everyone knows its 50% of budget money.
    Create a boogie man then impose huge fines. The real crime is ignorance.

  35. Oliver Eccentric on May 15, 2019 at 7:38 pm

  36. XxRoll1227TidexX on May 15, 2019 at 7:42 pm

    Legalize recreational use in TN we need it



  37. Felix Bruyns on May 15, 2019 at 7:43 pm

    When the goal is to get high, physical tolerance and mental boredom develop. With judgment impaired and keeping bad company, it’s just a matter of time before pot smokers, looking for stronger downers, get hooked on opioids. There are rivers of blood on the hands of liberals, libertarians and pot dealers both legal and illegal.



  38. Coty Benoit on May 15, 2019 at 7:44 pm

    Legalize Texas



  39. Swampy Douglas OBannon on May 15, 2019 at 7:44 pm

    when the governor of Texas thinks his opinion out weights the opinion of the majority of the people he has quit working for the people he’s another entitled working for self opinion not the people



  40. Dick Tator on May 15, 2019 at 7:46 pm

    Hmm that’s neat



  41. big daddy on May 15, 2019 at 7:47 pm

  43. Animator 001 on May 15, 2019 at 7:47 pm

    And Iam stuck here in Florida where the government is ran by a bunch of idiots. Just legalize it already



  44. King Karl I on May 15, 2019 at 7:48 pm

    It should be legal for recreational use in all 50 states. I don’t smoke anything but according to my research, the benefits outweigh the risks. In other words, Marijuana is safer than tobacco and alcohol. ALL 50 STATES SHOULD MAKE IT LEGAL FOR RECREATIONAL USE!!!! If you don’t believe me, GOOGLE IT, it tells you in fine print.



  45. Jace Richards on May 15, 2019 at 7:49 pm

    Bro weed just trippes you out it’s not bad
