    its a strange ideologie to fight medicinal plants and poison the whole world with pills and vacines…want a beer?



  2. @Edgar-Friendly on March 17, 2024 at 5:09 am

    YouTube is hiding this video even for subscribers.



  3. @U.S.Dept.ofHoeflation on March 17, 2024 at 5:11 am

    So here’s the problem… if a human has a drug conviction they’re barred from being a caregiver or commercial grower… 😂😂😂😂

    I know of people holding property with a high lease rate and losing their saving while cannabis regulation are dragging the process for social equity applicants😢

    Happy 4/20 everyone! Considering the topic, it’s highly likely that this video will be demonetized, age-restricted and suppressed in the algorithm. The only way this video was possible was with the help of our sponsors: Grove Bags, Paxiom Automation and Sorting Robotics. Without them, this video wouldn’t exist so show them some love and appreciation. If you like what you see, head over to our Patreon for even more content and behind the scenes exclusives.

    Tangaroa AKA Enki Ea father of Thoth AKA Atlantean Priest King who ruled over the Land of Ancient Kemet for 16K years, took Cannabis CBD oil for medicinal uses some 56K years ago.
    Seems like the Science researchers of that time were way beyond the research & study of the Political & medical work going on in the present. 👁️🕳️🌍🌎🌏🖤👑👑🧬☮️

    as always the white man taking over industries started by minorities.

    What a great educating video😊



  13. @christerbostroem on March 17, 2024 at 5:20 am

    I think it’s insane that you still don’t have at least a million subscribers, been watching your videos since either the 2nd or 4th one. How many platforms are you publishing on?



  14. @simba-rashe2930 on March 17, 2024 at 5:20 am

    Booyah!! Tioga Green!!



  16. @georgeedward602 on March 17, 2024 at 5:23 am

    From what I see in Florida the black market price for good weed is about 250$ oz.. I can find cheaper or the same in dispensaries for now but have like seven dispensaries within ten miles so maybe just because of competition.



  17. @daywar13 on March 17, 2024 at 5:24 am

    I start my job at WYLD soon, and watching this video made me tear up. I’m so excited for this new opportunity



  18. @ca5ualm3dia on March 17, 2024 at 5:25 am

    does it really take 44 minutes to explain the FEDERAL RESERVE DEBT ENSLAVEMENT SYSTEM is in control of EVERYTHING in the UNITED STATES. CANNABIS threatens that balance that favors their power ! GET IT !!!!



  19. @istoppedlaughing5225 on March 17, 2024 at 5:27 am

    My country used to be one of the top producers of Weeds. Later, English colonizers banned it from cultivating, and now they are cultivating it



  20. @TheYuxiaodi on March 17, 2024 at 5:27 am

    Not a great video in the sense that it is so one-sided. There are plenty of negative sides to canabis and they were not really touched here. It felt more like a 45 minute advertisement than anything else.



  21. @tholakelemdluli-le8vb on March 17, 2024 at 5:28 am

    Need a buyers of cannabis I’m Swaziland



  22. @kokeskokeskokes on March 17, 2024 at 5:31 am

    Oh, I thought she was doing a sex marathon and got injured.



  23. @th1789 on March 17, 2024 at 5:34 am

    Amazing video ❤



  24. @Reutzel507 on March 17, 2024 at 5:36 am

    You can die from cannabis. Concentrates. You can even find studies on the heart and heart attacks.



  25. @ibrahimdts5497 on March 17, 2024 at 5:38 am

    I shed a tear watching this, amazing



  26. @PunkMom1108 on March 17, 2024 at 5:38 am

    Absolutely amazing documentary thank you so much ❤

    great documentary!!!



  28. @anthonydelacruz2616 on March 17, 2024 at 5:39 am

    Amazing content as always. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭



  29. @noconsentgiven on March 17, 2024 at 5:40 am

    Its a double edged sword when it comes to cannabis banking. On one hand your ability to over build is limited to capital on hand. The other is everything you make is equity with minimal liabilties because you have to operate with cash🤷‍♀️👍. Pay as you go=limited debt +maximum profits=long-term success and no overlords.



  30. @VitaKet on March 17, 2024 at 5:40 am

    Yall are killin it with this docs.



  31. @LLsizzleQ on March 17, 2024 at 5:42 am

    Sexual desires?
    What strain did homegirl have ?😅🎉

    Mexican cartels own north cali



  33. @jose8a864 on March 17, 2024 at 5:44 am

    Drug addicts will try to convince your kids that drugs like marijuana is the thing to do. This industry is like the drag queens praying on lol kids. Look how worried they are about a drug and about how much money they can make poisoning your kids



  34. @matthoward4937 on March 17, 2024 at 5:45 am

    Keep it medical, fuck legalizing it. Every state that legalized it, the cannabis market went to shit. Miss the Medical days.



  35. @danielanthony1054 on March 17, 2024 at 5:46 am

    If you want to watch a video that’s 44 minutes long of just bitching, here you go.



  36. @dwcorley20 on March 17, 2024 at 5:47 am

    Went from being a nun to sex expert? Didn’t see that coming. Lol



  37. @SwordofZen on March 17, 2024 at 5:52 am

    As someone who lives near Michigan, a state that’s legal for recreation, it’s amazing how much money is being left on the table through untapped markets, simply because the government restrictions stop all the really cool stuff from happening. We need late night smoke lounges, cannabis hotels, bed and breakfasts, infused restaurants, etc.



  38. @franfranfrancis on March 17, 2024 at 5:55 am

    This didn’t get any views because it’s a bummer and it’s about how soulless hipster corporatists have entered the cannabis space in order to destroy any meaningful amount of positive energy



  39. @malikbenjamin-carrington3138 on March 17, 2024 at 5:56 am

    Thank you for your support and encouragement for the partake in getting into this industry. Currently making my plot on how I want to become apart of the movement, especially with helping the community from whatever I make



  40. @saammahakala on March 17, 2024 at 5:56 am

    It’s all garbage!
    One has to grow for themselves and through experimentation find what works for them.



  41. @juli6151 on March 17, 2024 at 5:58 am

    This is one of many reasons why degenerates become more common in this day and age



  42. @dtflowartist6296 on March 17, 2024 at 6:00 am

    To many ads. Stupid video



  43. @terryjeffries3233 on March 17, 2024 at 6:00 am

    Big industrial cannabis is what’s killing cannabis culture
    Go team home grow true top self cannabis



  44. @zironemegeaz on March 17, 2024 at 6:02 am

    Smoking cannabis gave me a seizure before



  45. @vander9003 on March 17, 2024 at 6:02 am

    So different from your typical 4/20 video but so great! We need more content like this out there, thanks for creating and sharing



  46. @arnelledunlap4556 on March 17, 2024 at 6:02 am

    This is sad the little guy is screwed… Marijuana should be legal and not controlled anyone should be able to grow and sale use and grow… This is just a way to discriminate on aboriginal people again… Blk market means aboriginal people…



  47. @yaqkub4666 on March 17, 2024 at 6:02 am

    The elephant in the room of “why is this illegal?” is because the government wanted a way to target Black people and lock them up for the Civil Rights movement. This was later admitted by a member of the Nixon administration:

    “You want to know what this [war on drugs] was really all about? The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and Black people. You understand what I’m saying?

    We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or Black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and Blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.

    Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

    – John Ehrlichman, Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs under President Richard Nixon

    And what will be done to compensate all of these people whose lives were destroyed by the War on Drugs? That’s where the taxes should go.



  48. @user-mz5nr2ly6e on March 17, 2024 at 6:04 am

    Legalization is and always was a horrible idea. All that needed to be done is legalization and decriminalization. End the prohibition without using capitalism to prevent us from healing ourselves! We just NEED the ability to grow it and consume it. We don’t need the government’s over regulation so that the wealth gap continues to grow and they get more money to fund wars. Everyone that buys into this trap is a MFing FOOL! Self-sufficiency is what this industry needs.



  49. @brazilianstrains on March 17, 2024 at 6:04 am

    Brazil love weed, we believe 🇧🇷



  50. @chrisbarrier6839 on March 17, 2024 at 6:09 am
