    Welcome to the destruction of this country, the marijuana. Drugs, illegals, homeless, what a wonderful government! Where do I take my kids, out of this country?



  13. @cassels2010 on January 3, 2024 at 10:17 pm

    Fact, that whole story about today’s weed being so much stronger than decades ago is hype, we had some fire in the late 70s early 80s . thc percentage don’t tell the whole story either.



  14. @Swagcity666 on January 3, 2024 at 10:20 pm

    Something wrong with listening to nirvana and laughing with your friends



  15. @antb8866 on January 3, 2024 at 10:20 pm

    Biden is definitely trying to find last minute ways to win over young voters. Last i checked he was not for federal weed legalization until he was desperate for a bump in the polls..and no i am not republican



  16. @ronevergrow8319 on January 3, 2024 at 10:21 pm

    When my son was young before he starts speaking I had a THC 200 – 300mgTwinkie in the refrigerator in the back hidden.
    Why my mom give it to him on accident not knowing when I was at work 🤦‍♂️.
    I came home to him sleep,,
    He was out for 6 hours.
    No weird breathing no erratic heartbeat, nothing everything was fine he just sleeping good as hell!!
    Why he start speaking complete whole sentences three days later🤷‍♂️,,, he totally skipped the baby talk, it’s like it made his brain grow I guess🤷‍♂️….



  17. @billbones439 on January 3, 2024 at 10:22 pm

    The People Have Been Lied To for over 80 Years. Marihuana/Cannabis IS THE PEOPLES Plant God Given. DEschedule

    GOOGLE= POT FARMER POEM $$
    I got out my pipe stuffed it with pot
    You better believe it held a whole lot.
    I whipped out a lighter thumbed up a flame
    Sucked down that smoke which comforts my brain.

    I tried alcohol smoked cigarettes
    They did nothing but give me regrets.
    My mom had arthritis could not walk around
    I rolled her a joint she danced on the ground.

    I thought I was losing my lovemaking knack
    After I smoked some to me it came back.
    Soon I decided prices were high
    I searched for some ground I wouldn’t have to buy.

    I bargained for seeds from smokers all around
    Got in my truck and drove out of town.
    I walked through the woods where wild birds nest
    Found me the meadow I thought was the best.

    I dug up the ground sowed all my seeds
    Said a small prayer for strong, healthy weeds.
    I watered at night with a five-gallon pail
    Mosquitoes went hungry for I wore a veil.

    Seven months went by; I thought I would die
    Till the Halloween moon was high in the sky.
    At night I went out, in a camouflage suit
    Used my corn knife to chop down the loot.

    I hung it up to dry where it couldn’t be found.
    Came back and got it, when it had turned brown.
    I trimmed off the buds, stuffed them in bags
    Called all my friends and passed out free drags.

    In less than a week my crop was gone
    I flew to St. Thomas with a love hungry blonde!!

    Of course this guy is for it he is big pharma. It allows huge companies (big pharma) to benefit while keeping illegal in all 50 states. Dont believe the big government/corporate propaganda. Incarceration and drug testing is a multi billion dollar racket that a bunch of stoners arent about to mess with. These goons wonder why SJW’s are madder than hell. What a joke.



  22. @sammas2959 on January 3, 2024 at 10:31 pm

    One candidate will rise and bring the obvious out of the shadow!! What is medical benefit is plagued by its negative affects.



  23. @barryaugustine1298 on January 3, 2024 at 10:31 pm

    need too reclassifiēd testing for taste smell flavor forget thc its a waste not changing a thing its not



  24. @shroomsandmetal on January 3, 2024 at 10:32 pm

    Love how Brian tried the oh weed is so much stronger now a days bs fearmonger approach and he shut him down instantly. With the FACTS!



  25. @dmoney5003 on January 3, 2024 at 10:32 pm

    That’s thing the cannabis industry needs big corps. But it will take out small shops at some point. Then walmart/target of cannabis companies. Pros and cons. Walking into a 711 and buying a pack of joints. Then cannabis industry grow farms. But we get huge R&D sponsors. Just imagine "The Stoner Man" by philly blunts. Also, we get closer to many cures like types of cancers. Once its federal game on. Beers and joints!



  26. @dickspits8819 on January 3, 2024 at 10:33 pm

    I’m 44 years old as long has I have been alive I can remember the old hippies out here in Northern California saying the fact that this product is illegal is a huge red flag and clearly highlights the incompetence of the United States government



  27. @CMing-ce6rt on January 3, 2024 at 10:34 pm

    They need people Numb



  28. @ronbarnhardt5201 on January 3, 2024 at 10:35 pm

    No, should just grow your own! Just say Know I do…. Should have been kept medical. Legalized now no money in it!!😂 I love it, it’s just given away. I was a Advocate, patient, and board member for over 16 years. Then they legalized, we just laughed…😂



  29. @mmongo562 on January 3, 2024 at 10:38 pm

    Basically you would be able to pay for your pot with a Visa or Master credit card.



  30. @furyus01 on January 3, 2024 at 10:38 pm

    Whoever is running that big grow needs to be replaced. Clearly having nutrient deficiencies…..



  31. @crazylegs0075 on January 3, 2024 at 10:38 pm

    Rescheduling to schedule three is not legalization it will still be a crime. Wake up people.



  32. @marcellcypher on January 3, 2024 at 10:43 pm

    about 52 years late but come on



  33. @edwardschlosser1 on January 3, 2024 at 10:43 pm

    This guy represents "Wal Mart weed", mass produced, low quality, high priced weed. These are the same guys who brought you the hops latent viroid that now has infected 90% of the grows in California. He wants all these regulations and licenses to eliminate the small indoor high quality growers that produce something significantly better than he is capable of. Avoid Wal Mart weed. Support your local farmer.



  34. @gibby6904 on January 3, 2024 at 10:46 pm

    So once again the only ones who reap the benefits are the business owners……..people will still be arrested in places like Indiana…….this isn’t legalization or even decriminalization……..its a gift for business……..



  35. @RedactedOfficial. on January 3, 2024 at 10:47 pm

    People dont realize hahaha…. weed is already legal in about 46 states, you can order thca flower and dabs online wich is literally just normal weed because all thc is non psychoactive until burned/ the unburned being thca and when you take an unburned bud it only has thca… hahah trump made almost all cannabinoids legal federally but all of these old people dont realize.. but us young people are stocking up while its legal

    This is not going to do anything for anyone except for marijuana businesses people are still going to jail for having less than a half quarter a single joint can get you a year they need to drop it to at least a scheduled two, to do anything!



  38. @jdingle8885 on January 3, 2024 at 10:51 pm

    Meh…



  39. @austinfiala5230 on January 3, 2024 at 10:54 pm

    LEGALIZE IT DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!



  40. @theantagonizer9835 on January 3, 2024 at 10:55 pm

    Let’s hope uncle Joe does the right thing and makes it legal across the US. Then it’s Biden 2024.



  41. @tomjackson4374 on January 3, 2024 at 10:55 pm

    This is another attempt by eat up old Joe to curry favor with the youth vote with lies and half truths. MJ is still illegal. Cops will still use the smell of MJ to search where they have no right to search. Pot is the foot in the door, the excuse, to jack people up and look for that big bust they can brag about down at the pig sty bar. Most of these searches, well over 90%, find nothing, but cops don’t care about rights. They see somebody standing up for their rights as "making things difficult". And like any cop interaction, they find a way to charge you so you end up beaten up, charged with resisting arrest or some other made up "crime". Drug Warrior Joe and his cop buddies will never willingly give up their "excuse". Legalize it, like it should have been done from day one.

  43. @getonlygotonly on January 3, 2024 at 10:57 pm

    like a prominent doctor said recently, there are at least $2 billion reasons a week why weed is not legal nationwide



  44. @WendelltheSongwriter on January 3, 2024 at 10:58 pm

    I love my CEO!



  45. @samwalton4598 on January 3, 2024 at 10:59 pm

    Low risk of what? Getting arrested for driving while blind?😂. There’s a very high risk of becoming a burn out veggie Tale! An obese Dorito junkie or a cabbage head. Tasty waves and a cool buzz duuuuuude!



  46. @joesphreiley7757 on January 3, 2024 at 10:59 pm

    The DEA are dragging there feet to reschedule cannabis from schedule one to schedule three and the reason, cannabis companies pay double the taxes a normal business would pay with cannabis a schedule one drug, this is all about government greed.



  47. @EclecticDiscus on January 3, 2024 at 10:59 pm

    Should be Fed Legal, De scheduled, treated like alcohol, and no one ( Hello DOT ) should be fired for at home off duty use.
    PS, Religion should be TAXED like any other business!



  48. @andrewbetrosian2784 on January 3, 2024 at 11:01 pm

    It’s a start and it’s about time.



  49. @zapackz on January 3, 2024 at 11:03 pm

    Big Pharma is going to enslave this industry. They will force the feds to prosecute to protect their monopoly. What other schedule III drugs can you produce at home? NONE! What other schedule III drugs can you buy over the counter? NONE! What other schedule III drugs can you buy and sell for recreational uses? NONE! Rescheduling to III gives Big Pharma the monopoly while federal LE is used to protect that monopoly.

    IF YOU NOTICE A SLER IN YOUR SPEECH, YOUR SMOKING TOO MUCH, FOR TOO LONG. JUST SAYIN.
