THE LAWS ON MARIJUANA FOR MARYLAND STILL FUCKING SUCK 💯🖕🏿💯 THEY WANT TO LOCK YOU UP IF YOU HAVE MARIJUANA IN YOUR SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING FOR A WHOLE YEAR 💯🖕🏿💯
LEGALIZE THAT SHIT DUDE!!!!!!
I could not calm down enough to be a foreman until I started smoking marijuana so I’m having trouble seeing the bad mental effects from marijuana
Its corrupt that we can drink but can smoke or grow a cool plant.
She just had to throw in that racial comment..
I’m counting down the months till July 1, im gonna go by everyone who ever talk down about weed being illegal. I might even go to my Mom house and smoke a blunt in front of her, for years of arguments, and getting kicked out for weed. LOL
If big tabbaco got into weed business then it would be legal and in every store on every cornor..deep pockets
Why are this people making this so dramatic and slow just compare to other countries that legalized completely, i see them doing just fine. Alcohol is the problem here just switch lol
They rather the cartel sell to kids than the dispensary selling to adults. Sad. Woo-hoo America!
Ask yourself a Question,How many people has been healed with Alcohol? More like Killed! Maryjuana has more Medical Benefits and Cures than any Phamacatical on the Planet!. Your body has to have cannabinoids to survive. Our bodies use them to regulate pain/digestion etc. Its a WEED FOLKS that can totally stop SUFFERING! OF THE HUMAN BEING AND PETS! Can not say the same for Alcohol which Kills Period!
Glenn Youngkin is a buffoon.
Sense they came out with this government sprinkle weed the weed on this street has been lower grade type ,like people are getting a pound for less then 600 but the weed is trash .
Blah blah blah… I use to smoke w33d as a teen daily, it helped focus more, helped me get off real drugs from doctors for my adhd and I had high energy, got straight As in school never failed a test, so who are these special people they studying 🤷🏾♂️😂
Hey guys so you know it’s been a great success…. Going to Hagerstown Maryland to rise dispensary to buy my first legal purchase of cannabis was absolutely amazing… What a great experience I had.. 47 years old I’ve waited my entire adult life to legally buy cannabis… I have a lot of pain issues and I’ve been on a ton of medication… I’ve always hated the fact that when you buy cannabis on the black market you’re actually supporting gangs and cartels… This experience I had buying cannabis was the safest and self-rewarding thing I’ve done in a long time… It was amazing and I believe it’s everyone’s choice whether they want you consume cannabis or not… And our constitutional liberty’s intended us to have that right. So I have never and will never support a Prohibition of anything that can be considered medical treatment or anyone in this country because I’m in American… God bless America in this great country 🇺🇸
I wanna go to Washington DC can I buy weed though?

I remember when dc had all those pop-up weed parties. You can “donte” money for a sticker and with that sticker you can get the product you want 😂😂 everyone from Maryland was driving into the city. Fun times
CANNABIS IS NOT MARIJUANA. Words mean things. Marijuana is a (racist) slang term, that renames cannabis after the Mexican tobacco plant to scared white voter from the early cannabis prohibition days. FOX you know this, but I guess the truth isn’t as good at getting views as fear mongering or endorsing racism.
Its good this stupid racist prohibition is coming to a end
Where is the tax revenue supposed to go?
The dispensary marijuana is not even 100% marijuana. They take your drivers license and if you get caught driving under the influence, they have probable cause to arrest you. The marijuana is not sticky. No Turpines. Highly addictive. Chemical. Trash in a fancy bottle. Don’t start. It’s not what you think it is. It’s a trap. I got addicted. It was hard to quit. But I quit. 30 days ago and I will never go back. For sure. It’s not recreational. It’s Orwellian. Don’t start and if you did… Quit immediately. It’s not what you think it is
High on caffeine and doughnuts are more dangerous than high on weed. We should look into this because it’s funny.
I was just reading up on legal stated and DC caught my eye. Not mad y’all, but I think its kind of weird that it is still illegal federally, but housed smack dab in the middle of legality!
Grow your own. Dont give them the pleasure of taxing it.
He can pry my weed from my lighter calloused blackened finger tipped hand 🤣🤣
The truth is you are really a child endangerment. So this is why you should be handcuff by a anti drug protect the children feom being endangerment..this us why marijuana and cannabis push the new law .2nd view well it be your own fualt after you wake up in the hospital either sex gender did that sound good since you are avoiding the health issue on other people .
Republicans need to get that stick out of their ass and legalize sales in VA.
Just legalize it federally for fucks sake. So tired of this bs and want to be able to smoke.
Afro Americans use cannabis more than anyone
Why hasn’t the federal laws changed, how can cannabis be legal in States and be Federally illegal, this makes no sense.
While alcohol and cigarettes kill thousands of people every year you can’t use cannabis as your scapegoat alcohol is the gateway drug it is the most commonly overused drug.
Weed laws are a joke. Noone should have to ask to use a plant. Land of the free? I dont think so.
What a knuckleheads weed not good idea! but alcohol is okay when millions died from alcohol! Weed nobody ever died ever!
Alcohol…weed
Pick one
Easy oivk
What about protection in the workplace. Can employers still test for marijuana?
Mean while we’re out here with straight up moonshine factory’s….no comparison between effects/affects of alcohol and marijuana.
How can you tell how much weed I smoke before I operate a vehicle? It would lead to civil lawsuits against the cop if weed and alcohol are measured and tested the same way. Did I smoke a joint or smoke with a bong. Red eyes does not mean your high all the time. Smell of weed can be challenged because cops are not trained to smell weed. So that leaves us to fst. Which any pothead can pass any fst . Just remember weed makes you focus while caffeine and beer causes road rage and bad behavior. So I’m waiting to see why weed is compared to beer or alcohol and who is making all this laws without research . We pay a lot of tax from weed to be taken to jail for weed. That’s why we have homeless because everything is taxed high but if you grow it to help yourself you lose everything. This country rather support gay marriage and abortion than to support people that plant weed . Talk about home rights and being free is just an illusion in America. The richer you get the harder you get sent to prison. Example? Trump .
So cars are legal to own an have, AS MANY AS U WANT! Only weed can be legal but u can only have a oz of it, lmao, it don’t stop cops from comen in ur house an violating every right u have! FACTS! IT WILL NEVER BE LEGAL THE WAY U THINK!, there never gonna give up the right to arrest black an poor people! By any means necessary 💯 facts
Get rid of Youngkin
5:49 can we stop calling these "drug paraphernalia" at this point pretty please?
Afro Americans should be allowed to sell cannabis when its July 2023
About time…!
I’ve been using cannabis since I was ten, and I never got paranoid not once, I’m 66 years old right now and cancer-free, and you people say anything to get your way, whether you’re right or wrong, you ought to get your story straight.
Good lord why does everything have to be about color. There are hundreds of thousands of all people black white brown that’s had their lives ruined because of unjust weed laws.
❤️❤️
The Virginia hemp D8 ban come july 1st
Yo younkin, shame, shame, and more shame!!!
Virginia needs to impeach Youngkin!!!
What about Alcohol????
tobacco and alcohol that cause cancer leading to death have been legal for decades!
Not to mention nationwide US legal guns available to anyone!
The legalization of cannabis would bring great benefits to everyone, the government would have more tax revenues and consumers would feel safer, as illegal sale on the streets is eliminated!
Cannabis also plays an important role in the medical field, as an alternative to opiates that cause serious complications and addiction, yet cannabis is still looked down upon!
This means that those in government do not see the benefits it brings and completely ignore the progress
There are medical benefits for thus better than big pharma that cures nothing and just a t trues to treat. And side effects are bad with pharmaceutical drugs.
