Legalizing Marijuana has made our country in a bad place, drug cartels are moving into our country to get a piece of it and people would rather use than work so that is bad because without work you can’t afford it so it makes you turn to crime
Marijuana smells really bad and crime will only go up with it being legalized left and right everywhere. It impairs driving which not a good thing. It gave me anxiety when I used to smoke and I’m sure others can attest to it. Marijuana should remain illegal. What better way to make the US even more of a banana republic by legalizing it…
Red states missing out on collecting additional tax revenues. 💰 More tax revenues to build a wall in their own states.
This is horrible now the Slave Labor for Profit Prison Systems with Guaranteed Inmate levels for productions of materials at pennies on the dollars for the CEOs Benefit are in jepordy, Now they will be forced to allow violent offenders to do the slave labor work instead of the peaceful pot smokers who filled those positions before this is is horrible think of the lost profits off making pot smokers criminals!
Don’t smoke 🚭 you will lose your teeth like Nancy PELOSI 😅
I live in Colorado where it’s been legal for a few years. I smoked a bunch at 1st but it didn’t take long for it to get boring. The dispensaries have regular sales now, without a doubt sales are slowing down.
A Stoned America is a passive America great for the Democratic Party!
