Is Marijuana Legalization Inevitable In The US?
Every ballot initiative involving the decriminalization or legalization of marijuana passed in the 2020 election. The Democratic-controlled House also passed the MORE Act in early December, which would legalize marijuana at the federal level and implement sweeping regulations surrounding the drug. These developments reveal something important about the shift in the marijuana debate: Marijuana may be one of the truly bipartisan issues in the U.S. right now.

CORRECTION (January 4, 2021): At 0:55 and 6:31, the map mislabels the legality of recreational marijuana in Illinois. The state has legalized marijuana for both recreational and medical use. At 12:20, a graphic used an incorrect photo to identify Alaska Rep. Don Young.

It’s 420 somewhere y’all
DO NOT let scientists take marijuana away from the public, make it a farming issue. Just look at how many republicans are absolute DRUNKS! They blink SO slowly…
Clinton was lying. One time, ja, ja. His face looks too fresh and happy.
Why shouldn’t it be? We need to stop the war on drugs.And legalize everything.Only problem is how would we keep the prisons full they don’t want that racket gone.
mix it and alcohol and you got a goood time
New York broke so it’s inevitable puff puff pass
It’s amazing to me. When I was a kid I remember how the older folks talked about how bad weed was and to never try it. Now in my state it’s completely legal. I remember man guys going to jail for years. Their youth stolen and for what reason? They were demonize for a plant. Crazy how in 30 years the world or our country has changed
Yes
Its about time.
nyc is gonna be amsterdam on steroids soon
It boils down to this. Slavery still exists in America just under a different name, and that name is incarceration. 4 people of color arrested to every 1 Caucasian.
We’ll never end the war on drugs, until we get rid of for-profit prisons. The huge corporations which run those prisons, lobby politicians hard, to keep the war on drugs going because the vast majority of the inmates in those prisons are in there for drug offenses (46%).
Texas has to many privately owned jails for this to ever pass.
“It’s hard to prevent use when there is a pot shop on every corner” we did just fine when it came to cigarettes

Texas does have a medical program, it’s just absolute rubbish.
Virginia Just Passed Legalization, times are changing fast 🙂
Pot stays in your system for months. What is the charge for being under the influence while driving or in public?
Eventually…..But the politicians will do what’s in their best interest when the time comes.
Imma m3rder the governor if he doesn’t change weed age from 21 to 18. Imma “buttassinate” him. and be tyrannical and eventually rule California.
Newyork just got legalized we are so lit
i experimented with marijuana…i didn’t inhale and i didn’t like it…..well if you didn’t inhale how would you know if you like it
Weed is Genesis 9:3(N.I.V.)Jesus is Lord
Biden is doing nothing.
It’ll only harm US as it’s a blatant violation of international law.
A couple states might go under the radar but the UN will eventually ring the alarm bell if more states legalize.
Systematic racism. Laws made to go after black Americans.
Very good. You must try Weedborn CBD.
Kentucky has always prided itself on not following along with the rest of the Nation and running from Progression,as if that’s something to brag about….It’s beyond embarrassing at this point that we are still fighting for Medical Cannabis.
Unfortunately,this State is populated by Hicktards who vote Red.
#fuckthebiblebelt 🖕
Legalize Wisconsin
Hooray for New York! 👏😎 The rest need to follow, it is inevitable stop fighting it we need it!!!!!
How are you supposed to get the effects if you don’t inhale mr Clinton????
why do you lie about why weed was made illegal
The Department of Agriculture/USDA is the regulating department of plants. The FDA has approved hemp derivatives as decarboxilated THCA since at least the mid 1980s. The Department of Agriculture/USDA lists marijuana as a hemp plant with cannabis. They don’t call any hemp illicit until the THC content is over 300mg of 1,000mg dry weight. 330/1,000 = .30%. Or three tenths per-cent(1/100th) a unit of measure(1). Like the video mentioned, the history is related to marijuana’s smoked definition. That’s why it’s a schedule 1 ; no medical value. Gerrymandering seems the right word for lobbying the legalization the authoritative department already legalized. Old federal modality studies where they allowed joints in medical care is probably why the USDA lists marijuana as a plant. The federal farm acts have pointed towards more efforts of controlling illicit markets of marijuana in comparison to discrimination of prosecuting what is already basically legal federally and in all 50 states.
Nobody over the age of 65 should be making decisions for other people. They lack common sense and they live in the past. We need a young government that actually knows what the hell the real world is like.
I never exhaled.
Just legalize it federally, allow counties to ban the sell of it in their county and move on
Why would anyone want to legalize a drug that get people high? Good luck dealing with criminals, distracting people and high people behind the wheel
I may not smoke like i did in hs im not a stoner im sober 80% of the time. However, cbd treats helped my old hunting dog get some form of peace her last few months of cancer. Not only to mention my family has their cards my dad has quit smoking cigs and instead hits his pen and its helped my oldest cousin with his asbergers so if they don’t make it recreational i hope they make it medical this isn’t a drug it is the greatest medicine Ive seen.
Hypocrisy!
Pharmaceuticals and alcohol have killed hundreds of thousands of people! Cannabis is still waiting for its first death! Cannabis is not for everyone and those people figure that out pretty quickly because of anxiety related issues. There are over 84,000+ medical patients on the Colorado registry and maybe there are that many people because those people have found there is nothing that makes using cannabis a negative experience. Save your seeds because leaving this in the hands of the politicians, well what could possibly go wrong. As evidenced here in Colorado, quite a bit, politicians are screwing this up with most legislation currently being heard and has been heard!
Do it and do it right, with Ll the problems today is this still taboo,
Don’t ever smoke or vape it outside, because cops can still try to arrest you for being under the influence and public intoxication.
2:42 PUT THE FLAME TO THE WEED!!!
Legalization and decriminalization are different they should fix the fact she said legalize then decriminalize (1:35)
Imagine thinking cannabis makes people aggressive 😂
