Sen. Cory Booker says marijuana should be legal in America
In a Facebook live address, the New Jersey Democrat introduced legislation that would legalize pot at the federal level citing that current drug laws “are badly broken” and disproportionately hurt minority communities. His Marijuana Justice Act would provide federal incentives to states to change their marijuana laws and would aim to apply change retroactively to people currently serving time for marijuana offenses.
a plant that grows from the earth good work cory booker
We, the people thank, Sen. Cory Booker for: The New Jersey Democrat introduced legislation that would legalize pot at the federal level. Is about time we see some positive changes toward a green and promising future.
For profit prison companies lobby against legal cannabis. What does THAT tell you? https://www.leafly.com/news/politics/the-top-5-industries-lobbying-against-cannabis-legalization-will FOLLOW THE (corrupt) MONEY, then vote for freedom. The Founders didn’t outlaw cannabis. Some of them grew it.
I want him to be our president. I also want all drugs legalized. racism of drug laws extends to all the drug laws and the injustice of them extends to all drugs. I’m not advocating drug use, but I’m saying that incarceration for drug use is cruel and unusual punishment. Not everyone will be harmed by drug use, some will be helped. Remember that the drug laws in this country were started by propaganda that said drugs make non-whites rape white women. They lied. Every time they make a lie to say that drugs are dangerous, they make a lie to protect that lie. That’s what I think. I’m a white person who hates racism because it’s immoral. But the Marijuana Justice Act will be such a great step just to get people thinking about these issues, about how people who use drugs aren’t criminals and they deserve compassion, and originally, historically, the criminalization of them is only part of the criminalization of the black male.
Booker for President!!!!!
Bruh homosexual.
We are not seeing equal application of people from different communities voting!! We need to vote not only for president, but for all of our elected officials!!!
Thank you Sen. Cory Booker for being a constructive critical thinker making decisions based in rationality and public opinion as opposed to status quo and special interests.
He’ll say anything to get elected, but his real constituents are the big money corporations that bribe him. Never Cory booker.
I love how y’all think you are the "Land of the free", but you’re known around the world as one of the most regulated and limiting nations on Earth.
Well Senator. Instead of making political soundbites why dont you make it happen without adding a bunch of stupid porkbarrel to it?
dude learning this guy isn’t married makes me want to marry him and make him president and legalize drugs… if only I weren’t a loser who has a full seizure every 3 weeks no matter what I do. I take 3 medications, I’ve tried over six, and even marijuana, while the best I’ve tried, doesn’t get rid of it… if only I were a rich bitch who could do that I’d make him my bitch.
Bravo sir! NOW, RUN FOR PRESIDENT!!!
You make this happen – Senator – and I will vote for you for president 2020 – and I am Republican —–
Booker snd all pot smokers are losers
There’s no good reason to legalize pot. That sure isn’t going to cause businesses to allow you to have it in your system while on the job. And kids will then get it as easy as getting the booze and cigarettes. Democrats hate babies and kids anyway… so I’m not surprised.
Cory Booker for President of the United States!!!
👍👍👍👍👍🙆💥💖💜💚💙😊🌴💕🍃🍃🍃🍏🍅💞👍👍👍🌴🍃🍃🍃
MARIJUANA IS DRUG NOT RIGHT MADE PEOPLE LIKE DUMB DEMOCRATS LIKE COO BOOO (YOU).
Weed is good!!
is there any advise for me about using cannabis to cure the side effects of long term drug abuse of risperdol haldol prolixen clozapine zyprexa that caused involuntary movements …..
Hell yea! But 360p brah? 😉
Corey: New Jersey is extremely proud of your inner beauty: I respect your strong courage and empathetic heart. Please don’t lose it; your legacy is being solidified and from what I see, Presidential, and ALL of my friends think so. President Booker. One love, Corey
What a stupid idea! Yeah perhaps there have been failings in the so called war on drugs but changes can be made! Marijuana is harmful and we will shortly see the effects that it has on people after prolonged use! Yeah sure it may have medicinal properties but I believe it should only be used in that case! Although I do believe that punishments should be less severe for those in possesion!
take money away from drug cartels and pushers put it into a controlled business and keeping all the garbage out of the marijuana like fake legalized weed that have been known to kill people. it would be safer and put revenue into the system to have stores, have diseases that this would help medically, but pharmaceutical industry would rather give you addictive alternatives for their business. it is a herb not a synthetic drug. I can’t help my health until it’s legal. so waiting. it’s legal in Washington DC. isn’t it a hypocritical.
mr.booker we may disagree on some issues but on this issue i agree i wish more politicians and people with power would share this belief.
And Now you want to be President after killing the original Barak Obama in 1370.
I am a service connected disabled veteran who lives in Texas. Why can’t we atleast legalize medical cannabis nationwide for our veterans regardless of what state they live in. Please let our veterans choose medical cannabis as a treatment for chronic pain, PTSD , depression and anxiety. Please. We need to get Jeff Sessions out of power. Also if you could rally Texans together then we could get the forward momentum to get all states to legalize. Sense august 2017 have you been able to gain support for your bill?
This is why hes got my vote in addition to his potential of being Obama II
Booker 2020.
Just watched this. I hope you can get those evil doers in Washington to do the right thing. If you need an exorcist give me a call. I will put the cross to them and slap them around with the bible.
Cory- you are very smart and conscientious on this subject, and I agree with you. I do not agree with your stand on nuclear energy, and I think that you are thinking strickly as a business man, concerned with making money. How many times have authorities won us over with confidence, only to have their action result in catastrophe? A few examples: the Titanic, the Challenger and Concorde space disasters, the Fukushima and Chernobyl disasters, Thalidomide, etc. The fact is, that human error exists, and when a nuclear plant explodes, it causes irreparable damage. This is the price of doing business? An entire ocean could be contaminated.
People who use it are going to use it anyway so you might as well make money off of it.
I smoked pot alot and it lead me to want to do other drugs but im sure most people have a lot more self control than me when I was a kid.
YOU ALL SERIOUSLY FALLING FOR THAT CRAP? THE SECOND COMING OF BARRY?
Legalize it already and move on! There’s a million non governmental studies proving it heals, OR simply read ancient Asian texts where it has been used forever!
I mean really that it’s time to turn this Nation all the way around 180 degrees!
You will NEVER understand the hideous nature of war on drugs "narcotics officers" (hilarious considering narcotic just means sleep aid in latin) UNTILL you witness these degenerate, zeta male filth abuse pets and property for no god damn reason ruthlessly and without any respectable cause. STOP FEDERALLY FUNDING THESE SCUMBAGS; TAKE AWAY FINANCIAL INCENTIVE THIS IS RUINING THE HEALING OF THE NATION. Corey: you are the only one who can do it. From hood to hood WE BEG YOU. We are people too and did not deserve to be thrown under the bus so that alcoholic nixon moron could generate a sick ego boost. Please right the wrongs!
Thank You Senator! You explained this P E R F E C T L Y!
8 months have passed since this video and how much progress has been made? Sessions and his minions are out to spoil Cali in every way.
go away your to late its legal
The war on drugs was a racist and classist set of policies to disenfranchise people of color since The Opium Exclusion Act that targeted the Chinese.
Well, then, lets deal with the shutdown the budget crisis and this ridiculous "give to rich, give more to the richest" tax policy we have and legalize the damn weed.. I was dying from alcoholism and weed was the only thing that calmed me and took my anxiety away so I could see alcohol for the potential poison it is and kick the urge forever. If you’re thinking that I replaced one habit with another you’re wrong. Haven’t drank in a decade, haven’t really used cannabis in last several years (frankly I’m too busy at work). I can tell you that the alcohol was hard as hell to quit but weed is not. I could smoke for an entire weekend and feel no withdrawal on Monday and proceed with my week having relaxed, expressed my creativity and been able to cut out all the noise going around and focus on what lay ahead. Alcohol was come home, drink, keep drinking til I can’t stay awake, go to work next day miserable, unhappy and falling apart, and start drinking again when I got home to repeat the cycle.
RIGHT ON!!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!
YES N TAKE AWAY THE FRIST AMENDMENT. HE IS DANGEROUS.
sounds like he said he wrote A bill that he does not intend on trying to pass not trying to get sponsors why
Yes and the tragic Donald Trump wants to keep this going and be treated like a puppet because if I was him I would already fire Jeff sessions people don’t know this is being controlled like a puppet he’s under mind control cuz I think it’s funny Donald Trump promise us legalize cannabis in all 50 states what is attorney Jeff sessions is controlling his ass like a puppet and the sad part about it is he’s letting do so and it’s a shame and just as soon as the one that’s the hypocrite and racist it’s not Donald Trump and people can say he’s our president how is he our president if he’s letting Jeff sessions going over his feet any news on Donald Trump is a puppet so just session can take over the White House in controlling Mexico is not about money situations it’s about their safety getting away from the drug cartel because innocent Mexicans are getting killed over nothing and I think it’s that sad because do you know this land was made by the Indians and when we took it from them the Indians are the Mexicans and sisters in the government is just made to control the population they just want to see us all dead so they can take over God this land ain’t free this land and the brave is it was so we will be free do what we want
Most of the people who argue against it, don’t smoke and most of the people who argue for it, do smoke. Go figure!
Thank you for your hard work! Keep it up. We don’t want poison pills and big pharmaceutical companies making policy in this country.
Let’s continue to support our constitution!
so you wanna make it legal for people to become drug addict so they can be your voters lol
