100% all bull…
When we said legalize it, this is not what we had in mind.

this is all propaganda no one wants cali weed. its not that good compared to the east coast lol
the nation lol this dude has never left california
60 min post 40 min vid. smh….
jk lol
Enough discrimination. That’s exactly what this is. This is the culture I align with. Get over it.
The taxes are unreasonable!
Marijuana is trash.
10 times stronger! 😂😂 Then why don’t I even catch a buzz if I smoke dispensary pot?? Must be 10 times fukn weaker.
What your saying is California is a gold mine of weed waiting for the right people to get into office and then California will celebrate? Hollywood has a lot to say about that subject so why is it taking so long? Because of the people in the way. No wonder Bill Gates warn Americans 6 months before COVID SARS two was released!
Despite it being legal, you still can’t beat black market prices. Maybe if the government lets up on how much they tax marijuana in might balance out. That makes no sense that the growers in California can’t sell it outside of California. How it makes no sense that they can’t sell it out the damn country. If it’s manufacturing, they manufacture it. Yeah I’ve gotten lazy and want China to make everything like really this used to be an ndustrial country.
Now that you covered something non important, maby next show will be about something America cares about
Prohibition is inane. Full legalization with very little controls and no fees would make the market both cheap for users and profitable for growers!
We need "Farmer’s Markets of Cannabis!"
Loved this 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
WE THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA WANT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO ADMIT THEY WERE WRONG!!!The broker so many kids over a plant that does so much .the have a patient on it but you can patient what nature makes naturally. We want free grow no more prison no more probation for kids and adults who use cannabis. Do something about the meth and fetanal. What a shame we the greatest country in world lead by jackassessss.
Legalization everywhere
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years they’ll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
I’ve also spent time in jail for cultivation and I’ve had my children taken for simple possession and I still cant grow smoke or possess, they keep their foot on the necks of the poor and destroy our families
Indo only.
True and more true help us please. Show the people how thay will listen! Man is brilliant give him the keys
Lol 😆 🤣 😂
😂
Good maybe the government won’t get a piece of it they already tax everything they can going after a natural plant is pathetic
California might have the best weed but nit the best brains.. those are some stupid laws😂😂
One joint for 14 USD 🤣 No wonder the black market thrives; the system is broken.
The government shouldn’t of taken 45 percent of the money. If they took only 10 percent there would be a whole lot more dispensarys and a whole lot more profit. Also the black market would of had to compete with the prices so maybe the black market wouldn’t be so bad?
The damage is already done, you can’t go back. Enjoy your 45 percent of that little amount of weed, but just know you could of had 200 times the weed sales taxed, but at only 10 percent.
Grow at home
It is not cheaper nor safer to buy marijuana on the black market. I am an alumni horticulturist. As well as a gardening teacher.
Trust California to F it up.
Миллиардеры знают как делать баксы 😂
A joint for 16 dollars is good business? No it’s not. Are you insane?
Clean n sober 23 yrs thanks to 12 step programs take my will and my life and show me how to live
The I.R.S accepts tax money paid by the cannabis industry. Which negates being federally illegal. That’s why the DEA and FBI do not conduct raids on cannabis facilities.
So stop taxing so high. Pun intended. 45% of 25 % of the market equals 10 percent. So let everyone grow and charge 12%. This is a net gain for taxes.
Not to mention the savings in law enforcement and human lives. Come on! get sensible. Hands off sensimil.
gays against marijuana is all i took from this
People aren’t taking advantage of a system when their loosing money to grow because of your ridiculously high taxes and fees
Marijuana is free it grows everywhere and everybody grows it. Why do you think they call it weed?
Mindful employees 😂
Timber and cotton industry has always been against hemp.
Chickens eat cannabis leaves. Thats all they need. People say they are the best tasting.
Sad they don’t make a profit but you can get weed off the street cheaper. Why would you get it from the store? I wouldn’t…
So funny they sabotaged the legalization so they kept busy spending our tax dollars
Gov TAXED Pot out of Business….I buy mine on the Streets for $200.00 a OZ….I got a Medical card but it cost me $65.00 a 1/8…..so it cost me $460.00 a oz at CuaLeaf….no thanks I will by off the Black Market
As always the same integrity we’ve come to know, you press the pot industry on every angle and never once rebuke what the pigs claim
legalize it nationally and federally .. remember Alcohol ? remember prohibition ..?
