    The law was made to only benefit the government .



  3. Prince Ali on July 14, 2022 at 2:38 am

    Government just dropped the ball.. and won’t admit it



  4. Bryant Logan on July 14, 2022 at 2:38 am

    They won’t listen because it’s money out their pocket to fund their police. Same with the government targeting vaping. Cigarettes have way more chemicals than vape juice but you sure don’t hear about cigs anymore. I wonder why ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…

    They need to make it at least they made them need to make it legal for you to get canvas because it helps people in different ways and they can make a lot of money the state can make a lot of money off of it by charging taxes and all that stuff they know that people smoke weed I mean it’s been for years that they’ve been smoking canvas or whatever they want to call it but they choose not to get involved in using it for tax money that’s a text money thing there was a lot of people you still smoke it so they would make a lot of money off of it and they know it but they don’t want to do it all you have to do is get a car saying that you can smoke weed but a card and that would solve everything but they don’t want to let you know that you can get this a a card



  8. jasiel morales on July 14, 2022 at 2:44 am

  9. Jonesy on July 14, 2022 at 2:44 am

  12. Kim Cole on July 14, 2022 at 2:47 am

    Hey just tell people to eat out stores period



  18. topsy krets on July 14, 2022 at 2:54 am

    This is exactly how big pharma is going to try to take control of the marijuana market. First they support legalization, and then they push for harder regulations that cut out out small businesses.

    Plant it, grow it, sell it and smoke it.

    Do not let them take control like they did with tobacco and alcohol people. The opioid epidemic alone should tell everyone how horrible our own healthcare system is at taking care of its own people.

    Do not let them them lie to you and say it’s for the betterment of everyone’s health. They have already made it perfectly clear that they don’t care about your health.

    Cigs and alcohol containers flat out say. "warning:cancerous, pregnant women shouldn’t use,please consume responsibly etc."

    It’s all about the money people. They are finally realizing that marijuana is a huge money maker because of how many people use it regularly and they are going to try and control every bit of it.

    DO NOT LET THEM.



  19. J S on July 14, 2022 at 2:56 am

    Go through the licensing process like everyone else…



  20. Melinda Hernandez on July 14, 2022 at 2:57 am

    CLOSE THEM ALL!!!



  21. Nate Shiz on July 14, 2022 at 2:57 am

    They will argue that if the grower profits one cent or anyone on the chain then itโ€™s illegal. They will say itโ€™s not the same as Jim bob growing some personal and then giving it to his grandma

  30. Dave D on July 14, 2022 at 3:09 am

    Cannabis is a federally controlled illegal substance and has been. Any state that sells, distributes, or changes any state law for whatever reason to legalize this substance is in violation of Federal law and should be arrested and charged. That includes all elected officials.



  31. Evan Konkoy on July 14, 2022 at 3:10 am

    Yโ€™all make cannabis seem like itโ€™s a hard fucking drug. Fucking people.

  35. Franklin McCants Jr on July 14, 2022 at 3:16 am

    I personally donโ€™t care for weed, and donโ€™t see why people are so big on it but if you arenโ€™t hurting anyone and youโ€™re productiveโ€ฆwhy not.



  36. Lunch on July 14, 2022 at 3:19 am

  41. Who Cares on July 14, 2022 at 3:24 am

    What did you expect when the corporate puppets are back in the white house. You won’t see them do this to 1 pharmacy in the USA. Not a singl one that is owned by corporations like CVS or Walgreens.



  42. Surfntrucks on July 14, 2022 at 3:27 am

    Iโ€™m I the only one who doesnโ€™t like drugs? I know addicts have louder voices but am I alone?



  43. Knowledge on July 14, 2022 at 3:29 am

    I know people who made millions tax free hahahahahahaa



  44. B-D3vil on July 14, 2022 at 3:30 am

    This is so petty, put your damn tax on it and let us get our weed. Everything went fine for months have you seen an increase in weed driven crimes committed or people eating peoples faces while โ€œhigh on weedโ€?



  45. DenShay Polite on July 14, 2022 at 3:30 am

    I love it. I get an 8th for $20 now, because the illegal dispensaries are competing with the local drug dealers lol. It’s a dream come true for me…



  46. Valerie Goddard on July 14, 2022 at 3:31 am

    HaHaHa
