    Legalize in Texas



  2. Anthony Hairston on October 2, 2021 at 7:56 am

    I’m in New York and I’ve been wanting to move to Dallas but I’m not moving down there as a black man who can catch criminal cases or get harassed by police for weedπŸ˜’..Please Texas hurry up and legalize so I could move to Texas and find a wife and a beautiful life🀣🀣🀣



  3. RP SC on October 2, 2021 at 7:56 am

    Yeah right. They won’t legalize it even if the other 49 states already have. They will be the one state that claims "sanctuary status" if the Feds legalize it.

    Tried alcohol made my depression worst. If it wasn’t for this god’s plant I wouldn’t be here.
    Alcohol has no medicinal used at all.

    She’s born in the wrong generation πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ



  6. Michael Kelsey on October 2, 2021 at 8:00 am

    A bias lady. Moved from Colorado says it all…



  7. Kenny Boston on October 2, 2021 at 8:00 am

    If sugar is legalized why not cannabis?



  8. Dogbertforpresident on October 2, 2021 at 8:01 am

    There is no science on how THC effects PTSD much less any that supports that it causes increased symptoms and suicide. Both alcohol and THC help my PTSD symptoms and I much prefer THC due to its lack of side effects.



  9. ArcaneTheGamerLord on October 2, 2021 at 8:02 am

    make it legal



  10. BC LR on October 2, 2021 at 8:03 am

    I’m sorry for her son but if that lady thinks pain medications, anxiety medications and PTSD medications are better then THC she’s wrong. Science doesn’t back that, I would know. This is similar to a case in the 90s about anabolic steroids when a young man committed suicide after quitting them. One he was taking a steroid meant for experiments on rats. Two he was already diagnosed with depression and placed in antidepressants which also show side effects of suicide.
    I’m sorry for her son but it sounds like he has much bigger problems then THC abuse. She also has to much time on her hands if she’s trying to keep a medications away from cancer patients and military with PTSD. Opiates cause more then fifty thousand over doses a year when marijuana can not scientifically be related to any deaths directly.
    Shame on her



  11. judith sterling mendoza on October 2, 2021 at 8:04 am

    she is lying



  12. Derek Benavides on October 2, 2021 at 8:05 am

    Just another Karen!! Plants over pills!!!



  13. logan whitaker on October 2, 2021 at 8:05 am

    holy shit id love to rip that "mom" a new one. your son tried killing himself and the only thing you can think to do is blame it on the weed? WEED was the reason your son tried to end his own life? looks like you know as much about your son as you do cannabis. get your son some actual help and an actual mom whos going to love him enough to know what’s going on in his world instead of blaming your failure as a parent on weed.



  14. Rose Dank on October 2, 2021 at 8:05 am

    Hey Guys Shop from Kaliscanabis21 on Snapchat he is reliable his weed quality is perfect just got some from him….,…..,..,……



  15. XO- BR33ZY on October 2, 2021 at 8:09 am

    That lady’s fucking stupid lmao weed is a nightmare no it’s medicine the weed def didn’t make someone commit suicide but hopefully it’s legalized



  16. Levi Bailey on October 2, 2021 at 8:10 am

    My god lady, living with you would make me want to kill my self. Miss information? bitch please have you done your history the war on drugs is a disaster did nothing good, It’s a racist scam. I don’t know the government people like you telling me what to do. it’s all fucked!



  17. Mike Balerna on October 2, 2021 at 8:11 am

    You see people get arrested for possessing weed but not alcohol & cigarettes, thats not right at all, the fact you can actually arrest someone & be in jail that long for possessing something thats completely harmless is extremely fucked up, i will literally go into the governor office & tell him to legalize weed, it needs too be, as much as i love texas, i dont agree with the overly sensitive republicans that want too keep weed illegal



  18. Juan Manuel on October 2, 2021 at 8:11 am

    Mrs. Adam’s that thc could help so many people. Other drugs do damage the liver.



  19. drew longoria on October 2, 2021 at 8:11 am

    β€œmarijuana is a nightmare” shut the fuck up karen keep your opinions to yourself



  20. Joel Najar on October 2, 2021 at 8:12 am

    God Dam this woman is stupid blaming weed for her sons death.



  21. Blue lives matter on October 2, 2021 at 8:16 am

    Marijuana does have scientific research to help PTSD And it does not lead to suicide if anything helps prevent suicide the ladies very lost



  22. Tasha Washington on October 2, 2021 at 8:19 am

    Wtf is up with these outdated states. It is criminal to still have weed illegal. This is honestly why I haven’t moved to Austin.



  23. Keyser The Red Beard on October 2, 2021 at 8:20 am

    impressive video FOX 7 Austin. I shattered the thumbs up on your video. Keep on up the great work.



  24. LoudPackTrey on October 2, 2021 at 8:21 am

    That’s lady is stupid asf



  25. CannaBrothaBakeUp on October 2, 2021 at 8:28 am

    This woman is the person that is fucking it up for everyone who actually needs it. She is only thinking about her son who made a bad habit of smoking, and not the countless people who use it for legitimate reasons. My own grandfather with cancer has been arrested before his death, because a woman like her thought he was some old drug addict, and he spent his final days in the hospital with cops surrounding him.



  26. ArcaneTheGamerLord on October 2, 2021 at 8:28 am

    agreed



  27. Perry B on October 2, 2021 at 8:29 am

    100 years too late, alcohol should have been illegal if marijuana is! Even though I probably won’t smoke it’s about damn time already!



  28. ernie page on October 2, 2021 at 8:29 am

    Texas will loose $$ from the probation department, it’ll never pass fully



  29. Felipe Hernandez on October 2, 2021 at 8:29 am

    She looks like she needs a line



  30. Man on October 2, 2021 at 8:30 am

    IF Texas does it. FL WILL BE next



  31. Anthony navarro on October 2, 2021 at 8:31 am

    Texas treat the people like kids just 1% thc your crazy they are a joke in texas



  32. Bryan on October 2, 2021 at 8:34 am

    Plus we all know cigarets causes cancer.
    Alcohol kills people but yet we don’t do anything to stop those companies from making money of of death



  33. Noori Rajab on October 2, 2021 at 8:34 am

    He probably tried to take his life to get away from her jajajaja 🀣 when I smoke thc all I want to do is go kill a burrito 🌯 lol



  34. sultan on October 2, 2021 at 8:35 am

    Come on Texas get this passed!..



  35. Ryan Garr on October 2, 2021 at 8:40 am

    Lady dogs on marijuana, but has NOTHING to say about the damage alcohol can do. Anything used irresponsibly can be bad. Hypocritical conservatives make the argument, β€œliberals are trying to take a way our rights!” Shouldn’t they be FOR cannabis legalization? Done with these conservatives already…



  36. J EE on October 2, 2021 at 8:41 am

    Lady from 1:46 texas is full and you count for 2 so please…



  37. Chelsea Moore on October 2, 2021 at 8:43 am

    Weed does not cause suicide. She needs to stop with the dramatic narrative.



  38. No ah on October 2, 2021 at 8:43 am

    Lol like it’s going to stop people from doing it lol legalize it already



  39. Noori Rajab on October 2, 2021 at 8:45 am

  40. Guylazoe on October 2, 2021 at 8:46 am

    1:43 what’s up with her nose?



  41. Nestor Velez on October 2, 2021 at 8:46 am

    Id want to kill myself to if i lived under her house hold



  42. Jabroni TV on October 2, 2021 at 8:46 am

    Her son wasn’t suicidal because of some weed that’s bullshit that’s just leverage she’s just trying to blame him being suicidal it was probably her parenting and weed is not mind controlling how about that Covid vaccine 🀣🀣🀣



  43. 98 Tv on October 2, 2021 at 8:48 am

    Was he smokin crack?



  44. DatTexasBoi _ on October 2, 2021 at 8:50 am

    The Karen lmao we don’t want you go back to colorodo



  45. ArcaneTheGamerLord on October 2, 2021 at 8:51 am

    legal legal



  46. Enmanuel on October 2, 2021 at 8:51 am

    Its so fucking annoying just legalize it and also quit testing for it at jobs. What i do in my free time is none of your concern. I do understand harder lab man made drugs. That lady is also ridiculous, alcohol kills and puts more people in jail everyday. It also makes you do things you normally wouldn’t do like other drugs. I would alcohol is the gateway drug. πŸ’―



  47. BC Barnett on October 2, 2021 at 8:52 am

    They had NO PROBLEM disabling, addicting, and killing us off with BIG PHARMA opioids …

    #ISurvivedTheOpioidCrisis #ZEROWEEDDEATHS



  48. AugmentedJester on October 2, 2021 at 8:54 am

    Lady, marijuana is all over the place. It’s not going anywhere. Get used to it. People are going to use it if they want to, regardless of the law. Always have.



  49. MM3 on October 2, 2021 at 8:54 am

    I mean there’s already so many CBD shops selling products similar to dispensaries and basically set up like a dispensaries. Texas might as well already legalize it we are headed in that direction.
