I thought they were decriminalizing it, not legalizing it. BIG difference.
After a series of delays, the House of Representatives finally voted to approve the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act today. If passed, the bill would deschedule cannabis and decriminalize it at the federal level. But that doesn’t mean weed would immediately become legal across the U.S.—the bill would leave it to the states to decide how they want to regulate the substance. So, in descheduling it would ipso facto legalize it?
republicans don’t want people to know they smoke cannabis too or someone they know
I like to receive my get out of jail free card before I do the jail time Kamala Harris not after
I have to read through hundreds of bill revisions and overturns on the congressial gov website official to find out the status. All I find these days are expansion to rehabilitation centers. Getting a felony shouldnt restrict your natural freedoms if the vast majority of the population and house agree it’s a stupid Law. Of course only lobbyists seem to knows what’s best for our nation and more then willing to do whatever it tastes through political power games to fund the prison industrial complex
cannabis legalization. for Obama Care!
i think all the posts here are from people who don’t want to work and are sitting in moms basement taking bong hits
Drug’s are bad.
BRO IF YOU ALL DONT REALIZE THE BENEFITS OF CLOTHING FUEL PRODUCTS. ITS INSANE. WE COULD LITERALLY CHANGE AMERICA WITH THIS PANDEMIC.
But them weed stocks while you can
So many states get to participate in the legal weed industry while the rest of us don’t get the same opportunities. It’s complete B.S.!!!!!!
Race has nothing to do with unjust laws. Stop bating for votes.
look at all the call names of the stoners below. if we got them all into a room together the energy would be very dull and numb but that’s what weed does to you over time makes you dull and numb . get a job!
The U.N. has help end this Nixon racist law that allow only white people to smoke cannabis on there private property or trailers.
So again the ruling class CCP "Leaders" in Washington does NOT give us the more act. Both sides are to blame.
But us white people smoke too and I mean a lot of us it’s not just a color thing 🤦🏻
Bottom line legalize it everywhere it’s not about whether you like it or not we need money everywhere EMTs have run out of their money 911 is oversaturated well Disney closed all it’s hotels more and more workers are being laid off we need more jobs just freaking legalize it!!!!
until it’s legalized we can smoke delta 8 THC
at a smoke shop near you
I say hold it for now… trunporters are looking like they wont vote or trust the vote. Dems may actually gain control in the senate. Bring it after Biden takes power. Trump has pretty much stopped doing his job. Hope hope hope!!
Legaliz Cannabis in Asia MalayAsia 💚🏁
Texas medical shouldn’t count. It’s capped at hemp level thc and only for the most extreme of extreme cases.
Legalize it! All 50 states!
NO REPARATIONS! It was illegal, you broke the law. I can see erasing your record, that’s it! Any monetary reparations, no way.
Hey Man, is this that "Green New Deal" that the Dems are all talkin’ ’bout? That’s Far Out, Man!
I’d take a cella bri, celer ba, um… I’d take a freakin’ toke if I remembered where I put my stuff!!
…oh, yeah… MAN!
Legalize the whole United States!
Cannabis has more pros than cons!
Its beneficial to everyone!
Its what the NATION WANTS.
im glad people are supporting but plenty of all people have been in prison over weed im just over hearing about one race u don’t realize how racisit that is an one hate for the other is no change only plants seeds of war America is one nation under god with all of us united anything less is a mayjor loss for the world
This is a worthless half measure 90% of the state’s say Medical Only… in other words essentially become a felon so that you can smoke medical… if you’re not aware you can’t possess a medical card, and still own and purchase a firearm. It’s really complicated so look it up if you’re curious, unless HR 420 passes or has already passed you can’t own a firearm or buy one legally with a medical card.
Legalized pot won’t get rid of the black market unless you compete in price! In Massachusetts, it’s 3 times the price of the black market. Let marijuana sellers compete. That’d bring the price down. (unless they form a monopoly to keep prices high) When Mass. is selling a quarter oz. for $160 and you can get one on the street for $50, where do you think everyone is going to go?
Maryland will be the only racist state left keeping cannabis illegal
AZ medical mj cost are so high I had to quit in order to try and get back my pain medication that work’s just as well but nearly outlawed by the DEA’S crackdown. Mj law should have been passed 10 year’s ago now I can careless.
I’m conservative in most political issues but this bill needs to pass. It shouldn’t be illegal. I haven’t used it in probably 6-7 years and wouldn’t use it if legalized but everyone should have that choice.
IM TOO STONED TO RESPOND DOES ANY BODY GOT SOME FRITOS
That’s decriminalized all drugs
More Act is pasting in 2021
Please make it as tobacco and liquor where employers can’t do anything to you
i think all doctors and pilots should be getting high will improve their performance
That would be awesome
Legalize in Georgia for recreational use
If it doesnt make i through the Senate it will be because of the Republicans for the most part.
Freedom is best Amen
Legalize the herb use the tax revenue to build up a fund for stimulus
🌱CANNABIS🌱
Soo would cdl holders get to smoke weed legally if bill passes?
2 months later and the same old talk it would never happen to many black people fall’s victim
Lol sure thing
I’m not a criminal we need legalize marijuana we the American people over half of us want this
legalize it for the us military as well. they fight better stoned
this is why America get worse and worse ! people IQ get lower and lower !🙃
look at all the funny you tube names of the commenters. you can see we are dealing with a bunch of addicts. nobody cares you want to smoke weed. we the other half of society that work clean from drugs. don’t want to pay for your habit.
If we get another stimulus check I’m spending it all on weed… legal or not
This would be great but my state of indiana will never go for it 😞
