    https://oneclickpolitics.global.ssl.fastly.net/messages/edit?promo_id=7062First step to LEGALIZING it in ALL of TEXAS ,DALLAS , FORT WORTH.📷📷📷📷📷📷📷📷📷"I am writing to encourage you to stop criminalizing marijuana consumers in our state.
    Jail time and imposing life-destroying criminal records are the wrong approach to possession of a modest amount of marijuana. I hope you agree.
    Punishing an individual with a criminal record for a non-violent offense, such as the possession of marijuana, is heavy-handed. A criminal conviction, even if the conviction is a misdemeanor and no jail time is served, can lead to a lifetime of harsh collateral consequences. A conviction can result in the denial of student financial aid, housing, employment, and professional licenses.
    Our current marijuana laws are not being enforced fairly.
    It is time for a more even-handed and just approach to marijuana possession. Twenty-seven states have decriminalized marijuana possession. Our state should do the same."

    Like the new flag , would have been even better with a Marijuana leaf on it but still it looks pretty cool.

    Its legal in some states but not others.Its federally illegal but legal in some states. Mental Health is a problem in America cause some bipolar wingnut writes our laws.

  19. NoahtheeArcETect vsTheSuicideKings on June 24, 2022 at 1:38 am

    It’s funny how my whole life was ruined by weed in the early 90s and that was by a PTA mom behind my back and then police were no help and now it’s just legal and I’m in the cold. All those legal potheads out there f*** off



  20. Philip Dressler on June 24, 2022 at 1:38 am

  21. Philip Dressler on June 24, 2022 at 1:40 am

    Ive never seen any anti marijuana legalization protest because everyone knows it makes sense to legalization of marijuana will be greater than cigarettes and tobacco! I was apart of the anti tobacco movement because i learned what tobacco does to children in the wombs of women who don’t have DISABILITY traits or pro DISABILITY training! 420 is rolling rolling rolling



  22. brs rafal on June 24, 2022 at 1:43 am

    it needs to be federally legalized records cleaned and needs to be taken of drug tests

    With Democrats coming to power and more Americans approving of
    legalization what do you predict will happen with federal marijuana
    laws?



  28. Discarded Nutrag on June 24, 2022 at 1:55 am

    I love weed💚



  29. Drb500 on June 24, 2022 at 1:55 am

    Why not legalize it…All you GOP leaders talk like you’re high all the time anyway… Especially the President 😂



  30. Patrick Bush on June 24, 2022 at 1:55 am

    Well imagine that! Now you have to worry about getting shot for your Cheetos and snicker bars too



  31. Philip Dressler on June 24, 2022 at 1:55 am

    Theres plenty more knowledge about what i know about how DISABILITY are really created and how they demonise DISABILITY people!



  32. Maddog Basil on June 24, 2022 at 1:58 am

    Some cop was in the middle of chasing me for my bag of weed
    But mid chase we both got a call and after that call
    Both me and officer Davy got really high that night
    He let me hold his gun while I gave him the numbers of a couple of my most loyal weed guys

    Listen, when I watched this video on YouTube by Japanese media, there were something weird things that I felt.
    Almost all of the comments are
    “Hey, look at this everyone. The DRUG effects badly. All the people who take marijuana go mad. So, we shouldn’t make legal them in Japan!!!😡”.
    90% of Japanese think them together — marijuana and drugs(stimulants, cocaine and heroin).
    I was really surprised that here is totally different.
    I think that Japanese are making the public opinion “Marijuana is illegal, so they are bad” because some people want to defend their vested interests (police, pharmaceutical company, tobacco company and politician).
    EVERYDAY I see wrong or incorrect news are reported and they trust them.
    I want you to notice this reality in Japan.



  34. Philip Dressler on June 24, 2022 at 1:59 am

    Legalization of marijuana is a blow to the antidisability people of Marin county and its a block to the Conservative right wing religious groups AGAINST DISABILITY people



  35. beach side on June 24, 2022 at 1:59 am

    How do you get this on a ballot to vote on? We have med weed in FL



  36. Junkie Fatso on June 24, 2022 at 2:00 am


  37. Richards Family on June 24, 2022 at 2:02 am

    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".



  38. Philip Dressler on June 24, 2022 at 2:02 am

    They used to put the pot head in th asylum ward and now their putting terrorists in the asylum niw you no the difference between us



  39. ac on June 24, 2022 at 2:02 am

    Omg I’m so over this debate LEGALIZE MARIJUANA AT A FEDERAL LEVEL no dropping its schedule to level 2 or 3 or 10 legalize it ,. Politicians don’t want to suffer repercussions which they will if it goes wrong so just legalize it and allow states to choose what they want but for god sakes legalize it so we can move on with important issues . It’s a gateway drug because the creepy guy you buy it off also sells other terrible drugs and lures you in . I don’t promote drug use or alcohol and I use neither but this seems like a no brainer what if we arrested people or ticketed people for having a beer at the bar ? Or even for smoking a cigarette?! Insane right I know .. we spend millions maybe billions arresting people for marijuana instead legalize it and spend half or a quarter on rehabilitation services if people feel like they need it ! Now how do we make America greater than ever let’s focus on that



  40. Terrius Thomas on June 24, 2022 at 2:03 am

    Whether it’s illegal or not. people are still going to smoke weed so there’s no point in keeping it illegal, just legalize it already



  41. Philip Dressler on June 24, 2022 at 2:05 am

    Since i know cigarettes cause birth defect like scoliosis and dyslexia and tooth decay i know marijuana has not been proven to cause harm to the baby, i faught for guidelines for women who smoke and i got upset about antidisability women saying they needed tobacco to make more DISABILITY people in the world!



  42. yours truly on June 24, 2022 at 2:05 am

    Just legalize it already, this stalling makes u look uhhh, not 😎



  43. C W on June 24, 2022 at 2:05 am

    1:37 what’s wrong with that? Such a beautiful flag. What a shame to get rid of it.



  44. NoahtheeArcETect vsTheSuicideKings on June 24, 2022 at 2:08 am

    All legalized marijuana initiatives did is steel jobs from people who needed it and he gave it to people who didn’t. You cut out all the middleman and stuck new ones in. What was the point in that? The point is to be able to enjoy it can you grow it without paranoia smoke it free or at least affordably don’t let them rip you off turn into the first pot Junkie suckers



  45. Philip Dressler on June 24, 2022 at 2:09 am

    My uncle TRIED to arrest every baby so we would not vote for the legalization of marijuana and we no marijuana is not harmful to people health but its exsposed the truth about how everyone feels about pain and voting for this type of maricle cure! Im proud to legalization of marijuana because its better than being in pain and being in prison in my own body and having no ability because of pain to being able to live properly and pain free! Im glad i got the truth about marijuana and how people really feel about you being in pain and how people dont care about you being in pain!
