    It would not be a "cash only" industry if the federal government was stopped from overreaching its constitutional authority. If that were done then the States’ could then tax the production and sale of Marijuana just as they do with cigarettes, cigars, liquor etc.,. And, then people would also be lawfully allowed to put the purchases on their charge and/or debit cards or pay by check.

    There are so many holes in that report. I don’t think that even he, believed himself.



  5. Driven 2015 on November 6, 2020 at 11:21 pm

    I disagree with this guy. Medical grade weed is good it is awesome. Good for relaxing the mind and body.



  6. jujuandjesus on November 6, 2020 at 11:22 pm

    This guy sounds like Seth Rogan, with a script from Jeff Sessions.



  7. MAC THE SLOVAC on November 6, 2020 at 11:22 pm

    WELL GOLLLLLLLLY!



  8. VELVETLASHVAN on November 6, 2020 at 11:24 pm

    the title isn’t proper english. Medical Marijuanna isn’t a person therefore you can’t say "won’t tell you". It is improper.

    I have been taken Pharmaceuticals for the last 27 years my kidneys are at 71% what should I do , keep taking pharmaceutical lose my kidneys ? or try something which have been tested for the last ten thousand years ?
    since time and Memorial Humanity have existed on natural medicine , all of that changed when the petrochemistry industry wanted to find a way to dispose of toxic waste and make money off it at the same time , no matter how much damage marijuana does it pales in comparison to all the damage which has been caused
    by the pharmaceutical business , Pharmaceutical have caused death cancer loss of function depression none of that applies to marijuana so please try and be balanced when you talk about such a subject

    2013 who cares?



  11. Senior Pulpo on November 6, 2020 at 11:27 pm

    The biggest reason marijuana isn’t legalized is because pharmacys will lose money for perscriped pills that help with cancer and diabetes, even anxiety. Marijuana can help cancer diabetes, anxiety chronical pain in the head and jaw. It can even make gas for a car but the idiot government likes to cause pollution to the world when weed can make Earth greener. Stupid ass government and people that don’t even know wtf they say.

    Once upon a time, WSJ was a great paper; now I’m not so sure. This is more anti-pot propaganda than it is news. O the items he ‘informed’ me of, I only knew only 5 of them. He makes it sound like anyone in business is lying to their customers for profit, which, while true for nearly ALL large industries, what difference does it really make? People know pot is profitable, illegal under federal law, and getting stronger all the time. The biggest flaw is his insinuation that it has no effect on pain or other symptoms of several conditions. It is true that there are no studies for the use of any form of cannabis for most conditions, but this is the result of it being a Schedule 1 Narcotic, and as such cannot be studied. If the DEA removed the classification, there would be an enormous number of those studies, if only to prove it does not work. His claim that many of the people who have legal access are simply using it to get high is correct, in my opinion. The process of getting legal access is often pretty much the same as a claim that during Prohibition, people only used alcohol to be ‘social’. Once upon a time WSJ was a great source of news, now it seems to be becoming a typical source of innuendo and insult.

    You sir, are a fucktard that is a closed minded idiot most likely paid by by pharmaceuticals



  14. malek 145 on November 6, 2020 at 11:29 pm

    why you f***n lying



  15. The Interesting Nobody on November 6, 2020 at 11:30 pm

    The left and right both hate it, because no one will fall of the vaccine scam or take mind-killing drugs ever again if it’s legalized. It’s bad for big business.



  16. Gail Mercy on November 6, 2020 at 11:33 pm

    Legalise it.



  17. Colorbomb Design Painting on November 6, 2020 at 11:34 pm

    credit card companies are scam. very good that they do not stick they white noses into cannabiz biz!



  18. Rainfall on November 6, 2020 at 11:36 pm

    Most of his claims are "hurr durr its federally illegal"



  19. MAC THE SLOVAC on November 6, 2020 at 11:36 pm

    Fart



  20. Dominic Greene on November 6, 2020 at 11:38 pm

    Your’ll all a bunch of fucking retards.

    This is a business column by the fucking Wall Street Journal. Seems to me they are only speaking to whether or not this industry is good to invest it, which it might not be. I am pro Cannabis and have no problem with this video, most everything he said seemed accurate to me.



  21. Breanna. on November 6, 2020 at 11:40 pm

    Who’s high watching this



  22. NAthan Hendershot on November 6, 2020 at 11:41 pm

    The constitution never gave the fed the power and the fed only gets its power from the constitution other the powers that are not stated in the constitution belong to the state and rightfully the people



  23. FRO #AVERAGE DICK CLIQUE IN THIS BITCH on November 6, 2020 at 11:42 pm

    Wsj is garbage not surprised



  24. TrachyCarpus Takil on November 6, 2020 at 11:43 pm

    Sound like they need to fully legalize to bring the price down to me…
    Why did YouTube bring this up? Total propaganda. More reefer madness.



  25. farqueue132 on November 6, 2020 at 11:43 pm

    While everything he said was true I still really don’t think any of this is a secret.



  26. Monsieur Biscuit on November 6, 2020 at 11:45 pm

    IGNORE THIS VIDEO – This is just another Pharma attack on alternative medicines, shall we look into the unending list of side effects listed for their pain relief and cancer drugs? How long do you have…days?

    CBD – Three letters grouped together that blow this big pharma actors argument out of the window. CBD has no high, and it is being actively rolled out at last for those that have been prescribed life altering pain medicines (opiates) by the medical practises.

    Opiates as I am sure many know are highly addictive and often those that have been exposed to trauma injuries are prescribed them, often they create dependency as they are hugely addictive and they destroy people’s lives yet big pharma dish them out like candy.

    How many times do you see people visiting their doctors only to be marched into the pharmacy to have to buy a huge bag of drugs. Medical tests are CONCLUSIVE re CBD it works and it brings so much relief to people suffering from cancers, tremors, epilepsy, multiple muscle degradation diseases and the list goes on and on.

    This video could have centred on the true and proven CBD oil now being used responsibly with no high and no side effects just pain relief and other huge advantages but NO these people are discrediting again.

    It’s plain and simple why, CBD massively threatens their market, opioid abuse is OUT OF CONTROL it’s an epidemic and they have the cheek to talk about abuses here.

    Sickening.

    The place I go has 2 armed guards on duty.



  28. Sweet home Alabama on November 6, 2020 at 11:48 pm

    So, I learned literally nothing I didn’t know.



  29. Chantal Said on November 6, 2020 at 11:48 pm

    If you need it for a medicinal purpose, great. If you want to smoke it recreationally, fine. It’s really no one’s business, as long as you’re not hurting yourself or others. I’ve never smoked weed. But I’m in the process of getting my recommendation after years of trying all the pills, diets and physio to treat my severe rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto’s. I’ve never been against marijuana for others. I just never had the desire to smoke. I think smoking is disgusting. But I educated myself on all the other ways I could take it, and I’m actually excited at the prospect of being able to live a normal life again. PS I live in Canada and am all for Trudeau legalising all marijuana.



  30. Brett Sawicki on November 6, 2020 at 11:48 pm

    Well supply and demand will take over! "1 maybe 2 doctors will be willing to wright a recommendation" more people will go to that doctor!



  31. David Hefner on November 6, 2020 at 11:49 pm

    What they don’t tell you is that the government is using the legalization of marijuana is all about a gun grab.



  32. Bustaonegamer on November 6, 2020 at 11:52 pm

    weed Is far more stronger now than 50y ago. Due to the prohibition



  33. battlecat on November 6, 2020 at 11:53 pm

    and dont talk to me about crime because a few days ago an hr away from where I live 50 ppl were massacred, had nothing to do with weed, so crime and weed its not really my problem. Idk why you speak of that, if weed shop owners get robbed TOO FUCKING BAD. Ill go elsewhere.



  34. ohhJavier on November 6, 2020 at 11:55 pm

    Watching this video while I’m high.

  36. ash hole on November 6, 2020 at 11:57 pm

    But actually helps people.. DRAMATICALLY. It can help with chronic illness. I don’t care if you make it illegal to smoke it, but oil is extremely useful.



  37. Blakhawk1703 on November 6, 2020 at 11:59 pm

    what a cokehead lol



  38. Laughing Lies on November 7, 2020 at 12:00 am

    I use marijuana for PTSD. Without it I would have committed suicide years ago. Marijuana is medicine.



  39. Jim Keller on November 7, 2020 at 12:00 am

    He talks about the large % mark-up for medical marijuana. First, there isn’t much competition yet. Second, he should do a video about the 10,000% profit of prescription drugs that in most cases might not be as effective. This guy is obviously biased. ie a con-servative idiot.



  40. minorka2 on November 7, 2020 at 12:00 am

    who is paying? tax payers?



  41. Charles Montana on November 7, 2020 at 12:01 am

    I’m guilty of complaining about back pain but in all honesty I just want some higrade marijuana. I love the sweet ganja. Smoke marijuana everyday in everyway.
