    Marijuana is a drug. Legalizing recreational marijuana is huge mistake! Business owners, please make money the right way. For recreational users, marijuana Will make whatever your problems bigger.

    It has always amazed me that government presumes to dictate to me what I may or may not consume ? They can recommend if they want but I I have never accepted government dictations on what I may or may not ingest into my body…Its not governments business to dictate what I may or may not consume .

  30. Richards Family on January 21, 2022 at 9:36 pm

    Russia subsidizes vodka so all Russians can afford it in bulk. By keeping people intoxicated they won’t notice how bad things are in Russia.
    Lawmakers in the U.S. have the same thing in mind only they want to strangle people with additional taxes while we’re doped up on "pot".



  31. Jeff Mille on January 21, 2022 at 9:36 pm

  46. J on January 21, 2022 at 9:55 pm

    The leagl weed market cost more than black market. I can buy weed 199.00 an ouce in back market of good quality weed n Texas. No taxes required either. Weed prices when leagal should drop far below black market. Time to put an end to hue taxes 8 percent should be the max tax. Im 65 been smoking weed since i was 16. Freedom of choice trump’s safety.



  47. richard klegin on January 21, 2022 at 9:55 pm

    i know the cure for cornavirus is weed . legalize it in all 50



  48. David Maddux on January 21, 2022 at 9:56 pm

    the way i was brought up, weed is a gateway drug. into other drugs. so we gonna do this with other drugs?



  49. jankowitts on January 21, 2022 at 9:56 pm

    The mentality that these politicians, police, and other central planners should take on the responsibility of a parent to regulate what their child consumes is a total stray from freedom. The regulation that comes with this nanny state like mentality creates a burden on business and prosperity. Stop trying to take responsibility away from the individual and give it to the state. That never ends well.



  50. David Maddux on January 21, 2022 at 9:58 pm

    or is the government settting us up for moremoney for them to control.
