What really needs to be brought back is hemp production. Products made from hemp could solve our plastic problem. Hemp plastic is bio degradable and can even be made to keep it’s nutrients. Instead of killing the fish we would be feeding the fish.
Henry Ford built a car out of hemp. It was lighter and stronger than steel.
I think it would help people
It’s to bad pot smokers aren’t more responsible. Legal pot doesn’t mean drive around hot boxing your ride and blowing smoke out your window at stop lights. Gee wonder why certain people get popped for pot more than others ? Use your freakin brain !
They need to legalize it everywhere
They don’t want it legal because it’s supposed to be medicine. They just want to get high. It’s not medicine. Tobacco should be illegal. Alcohol should be illegal. You shouldn’t go to prison for selling it. Tobacco cause Cancer. Make Tobacco illegal.
They should give prescription heroin to long term users and haven’t change after detox or methadone and who relapse everytime
I’m a conservative myself but this is the only thing I can agree on with the left. Weed is fucking sick and def should be legalized all over. As long as it is regulated for people over 21 I think the revenue stream could be nuts. Plus all the medicinal benefits for people who need it, recreational purposes etc etc
*MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM*
Vote 2024 POTUS. 🍺 & 🚬
I mean face the facts it’s still an intoxicant….no matter how much reasons and excuses u give it still a drug…and dnt confuse it with medicinal….NO….I meant one of the intoxicant…..and nobody would be protesting to legalise it if it wouldn’t have getting high properties….let’s just face the fact…. believe it or not….making it legalise is still a threat to society…it will cause damage…it will make our health go down….and don’t compare it with spirituality….it is the possibility that wherever it is mentioned ,it isn’t what it looks like….bcuz spirituality will never teach u all this…bcuz it’s sacred….all those sexual flowing energy BS and doing drugs is nothing but unconciously making fool and making u you go towards it….it’s not something that you smoke and leave it…the more you take the more inescapable u become…..Now does it look like an essential medicinal practice ? This is nothing but Hypocrisy to other drugs if marijuana legalise….now don’t assume it that it is a medicinal drug….by drug u knw wat it means….

Whenever its joints in a bottle,its people that have never smoked jazz cabbage ever.
It becomes another thing which will be taken out of reach of the poor. People should be able to grow their own
About time.
Legalize it already!!!! Failure of the Biden of administration to do so is proof of Biden’s continued racism against "low income kids".
I think he had just smoked it up too right before the speech lmao
Yea but when you charge $5 to $15 dollars a gram it’s outrageous, in the 80,s you could by a quarter pound of damn good Columbia for $145 not now you gotta be rich it’s about the money .

Limit the prison industrial complex. Legalize Marijuana Completely

We went from not even knowing where to get it while we never discussed it since nobody we knew ever did it. Now appears that a few of our close friends do smoke it for medicinal use. I’ve been sick and disabled for decades. Indica and Hockey pucks make me calm and relaxed, either the pain goes away or makes it so my brain isn’t outpowered by pain thoughts.
I live here in the Philippines, I did everything correctly, go to school, graduated college, never had any trouble, never hurted anyone. Yet, now I am homeless living in 24/7 internet shops just to be inside a roof, trying to find a job in the same clothes everyday because my parents kicked me out when they found out I’m smoking weed. I’m really struggling but I hope one day people can just accept me for who I am.

It’s about time and this will believe ME TOLD YOU I WAS OTS MO WAY A GATE WAY DRUG TRUST ME I KNOW HOPE
I don’t get it. Cigarettes kill people and they’re legal and marijuana has never killed anyone and it’s "illegal"? This is backwards to me. Marijuana helps my depression more than the medications they give you. It’s been proven to help with PTSD among other disorders.
I smoked Marijuana everyday for years, and I can say that I get 10x more things done since I quit. This will just lead to a lazier society, which will be yet another thing weighing on the economy.
it’s drug level will drop to a 2 level . For the federal government till all of America federal law rescheduled. In Sacramento gov will take and give back
All white people go eat a cigarette
Simple was it illegal at the time she was arrested, its a Simple question yes or no , now moving forward if it’s legal then u get arrested you have right to fight it .
Here in New Zealand weed is still on the Toxic scale at a ‘B’ while Alcohol a far more dangerous substance remains a ‘C’. Heroin, Methamphetamine, Cocaine and other top drugs remain an ‘A’. Anyone can hold as much Alcohol at home as they like while the others including Marijuana can result in fines and or prison.

Que feos esos porros dios mio
Hurry up and legalize it already we all know you need the tax revenue
Both Republicans and Democrats think marijuana should be legalized, and it was stupid that it was ever made illegal.
WE need that weed man
