I believe sugar is a lot more worst than pot..how many monster drinkers died over the years…millions of diabetics a year..have you seen the kids at the bus stop…porkers..I don’t smoke it..but the medical value is worthy.
Jesus. Ever hear of sunblock John?
I think it should be. It’s no different than alcohol. I work hard and am productive, I should be allowed.
John Bonghner.
A way to make money that isnt a legal option. What is pot if I live in Texas?
Legalize weed iowa!!!!!!!!!!!!
2Pac said it best: "They got a war on drugs so the police can bother me"
The munchie industry would make $$$
The Pope visited Congress and Boehner had an awakening. He could not be a republican and a good person
In America, this may be the one thing citizens are untied in spite of your “beliefs”: legalize weed. Stop throwing harmless people in jail, taking their money and ripping them away from their families.
As usual, until Big Business has an opportunity to make bank on the deal it’s a no-deal with Republicans. At this point, I don’t care who grows weed. I just want to be able to have the same access to meds as other people. Time for a change.
Indiana will be the absolute last state to legalize. What the people want don’t matter. Gov. Eric Holcomb throws out bills without hearings because only his opinion matters.
Marijuana legalization was popular with Americans when he was speaker of the house. Legislatures want to make sure the infrastructure, production, and sales are given to who they want.
Marijuana and opioid it is so illegal that it is messed up for youngest children ever is cooling for adults that anyone smoking right near Ovid now let me explain if you see something someone is smoking outside something weird it is not the same way so that means they are smoking illegal and the rest of the people well if they don’t care their own life the life is messed up already because marijuana and opioid had to be so illegal right there because how much damage does so far in the past to the present and to the Future Vine now that I need to stop this right now because I don’t know what the heck is going on I mean everything that whoever smokes or break the law illegally in need to be illegal because they need to stop smoking you know you don’t know that you might well be that the next person I don’t like it really I don’t like it at all this is not the future why look like messed up their life and everyone else they need to fix this you know they need to really really fix this
Mr Boehner may not realize that being for marijuana is being for slave making. And if he does what does that say??
Great video!
How’s Obama John? You two were quite close.
Big drug companies want to legalize weed because they have gmoed it into poison. They will take it all over .
Marijuana is not a million dollar or billion dollar industry, its a TRILLION dollar industry that would create hundreds of thousands of jobs across all sectors and industries. So how is this not the #1 topic among politicians when its exactly what this country needs right now, Jobs and Tax revenue to get us out of this soaring debt thanks to trumps "Tax Cuts".
All these old people dont know the weed today is alot stronger lmao but about time Republicans arent being pussies and finally for the full legalization of marijuana. Just federally decriminalize it
I’m buying stock in snack cake companies the second it’s legalized. Lololol for real though…legalize it.
Hmmmm…. a reversal in attitude like this usually means someone is applying for permits and a licence to distribute and/or operate grow outlets.
I will never believe that weed is harmless. I saw my tenant going from smart guy with job who started smoking weed turning into the dumbest guy without job. I had to terminate the rent agreement for non-payment
if you have a trucking job, the DMV will still not let people use it on their own time. Which is the most popular job for highschool educated men. But you can still drink when you get off work. none of this matters until it is legalized on the federal level. If you operate any type of heavy machinery at your job, none of this "states choose" stuff matters. Hard working people should be able to relax too, not just kfc employees
Legalize it nationally and put a federal tax on it even if the funds would only pay the interest on the debt, so whatever else we pay goes to the principle….a good start to getting out of the red short of WAR!.
What?! Archaic laws which are "out-of-step" with current times? Unheard of!
yeah! legalize WEED!
It is so bad in Canada that those so called health care workers that use this “medicine” are working together with street pushers to help them go after ther “target”.
We need decriminalization + the right to cultivate.. The only way to remove the black market is to allow small farmers/businesses & home grows to thrive! Many counties/cities in legalized states are only continuing the prohibition by creating the most restrictive regulations possible. In CA most counties have banned cultivation, manufacturing and retail. Most of your dispensaries are operating illegally and the people operating these businesses live in fear!
Doesn’t this all violate the 14th amendment???? When do equal rights come in to play??????
Time for the second failed prohibition to end.
#FREETHEWEED✌☮
Keep it illegal please, prices will go down. And i got mouths to feed.
The federal law is outdated and is causing issues. I’m a responsible citizen in my state, but according to the feds, I have no constitutional rights and I can only use certain of my licenses at any one time. This is madness. I would settle for some clarity. Thanks.
Big Pharma is the problem , and has been for the last forty years ….. Big Pharma kills thousands of people a year …. more than terrorism …… It’s just that they are rich , powerful , and they bought these guys off a long time ago , they bought em all off ….. maybe people’s integrity will prevail , and the world will be better off
I don’t get what’s wrong with you people…. this is still first class slavery…. states and federal government have control of the citizens…. legal citizens that pay your paychecks….. and you have the rights to take away rights just cause live in your country???? We work in your system and pay to live in your system and we have no individual legal citizen rights???? Is that or is that not slavery?????? Make us work!!!! Makes us pay to learn and live and get a god job and do whatever say and pay you for us working???? So many pay for rights to do things like drug companies… but screw the people they don’t own anything stolen by your ancestors????????????????????????
I’m from Canada. There is a reason why we’re better at getting along with one another. Actually, there’s lots of reasons. But cannabis is one of them.
Fire all political pukes whom want to punish free ppl from using marijuana in any form
in this time, I m still wondering who kills people? marijuana or pollution.
33 states have realized that marijuana does not … I repeat… Does not … make Mexicans crazy. While the other 17 States still perpetuate William Randolph Hearst most discriminatory War ever.
Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2019 > States act
LEGALIZE CANNABIS!
Looks like Boehner is getting to play a lot of golf..
The dark age is slowly ending. Glorious.
He’ll Fox News is probably got stock in the marijuana industry since they don’t like letting nobody tell the truth so they get high and start firing people for telling the truth
"When the American people are for something, their members of Congress listen"….
then explain the voting records of the 12 Senate republicans that voted to ATTEMPT to block funding to the border wall. Particularly Lisa Murkowski.
Time to legalize weed, stop dragging your feet.
Boehner is a patriot and a hero!
I have wondered for the past 3 years if obliviousness of peril to one’s personal safety has any provable relationship to the immediate and/or lingering effects of smoking dope. Anecdotally, the connection is easy to observe.
Omg the lamestream media so lame#)
