    <<<::::Legalize cannabis federally within each and every state. This way, irrational prohibitionist politicians can’t obstruct and prevent legalization against the will of the vast majority of Americans whom support full federal cannabis legalization nationwide. Treat cannabis exactly like we treat far more dangerous and deadly yet perfectly legal alcohol. Legal in all states.:::::>>>

    *Today’s marijuana is 50 times more potent than the stuff the hippies were smoking back in the 60s! You can always tell the people on weed at work. They are listless and some are downright LAZY! They also STINK! They expect the rest of us to pick up their slack which just breeds resentment in the workplace! You can get over a hangover pretty quick. Weed stays in your system for weeks.*

    Who do you have to know to get approval to do? I can’t believe just anyone can do it.



  4. @user-lp2lo5cw9o on July 3, 2024 at 6:32 pm

    Lol if the news team all ate gummies..on air



  5. @kjc1501 on July 3, 2024 at 6:34 pm

    Yeah y’all are really worried about people, This will be-a centralized door for all kinds of other drug use legally. This has been allowed by outside forces that you are unaware of .This will probably finish America off.



  6. @JasonGastrich on July 3, 2024 at 6:35 pm

    Marijuana is an herbal supplement.



  7. @oceanwoods on July 3, 2024 at 6:39 pm

    I have studied cannabis research for ten years with Phd scientists who are leading in this field.
    There is zero published and peer reviewed evidence that cannabis is physically addictive, or causes psychosis .

    Marijuana is not good for you. It causes severe hypoxia and destroys your lungs. It also destroys your heart. The fungicide and pesticides sprayed on it are just about the most toxic substances in the world. Marijuana makes people act crazier than normal, hence the term wacky tobacco. I still support people’s right to consume marijuana.



  9. @joelodyssey4475 on July 3, 2024 at 6:41 pm

    Quality cannabis is not grown outdoors or in hoops.



  10. @user-qr7ee2cp4y on July 3, 2024 at 6:44 pm

    Get the legal stuff out there asap so we can put a dent in the street gangs income



  11. @debbirbodner5358 on July 3, 2024 at 6:44 pm

    People would get high and get behind the wheel and when they are high accidents happens and deaths. And yes when they say not to drive will the people listen? I don’t believe in this drug.



  12. @getthekool1758 on July 3, 2024 at 6:45 pm

    Goodbye health and the sanity in the country. Here comes massive violence, social dysfunction and schizophrenia.



  13. @TM-nz5im on July 3, 2024 at 6:47 pm

    Lmao, the customer knows best babe !



  14. @pfrydog on July 3, 2024 at 6:49 pm

    How can you say don’t use it and then get behind the wheel when people use caffeine and get behind the wheel on a regular basis.



  15. @TheDesertoasis on July 3, 2024 at 6:53 pm

    So does that mean if you are Prozac you shouldn’t drive?

    They’re growing in a very sanitary environment. What a joke anything grown outside you have no control over the environment pests Bugs, wind, dirt, you name it any good cannabis is grown indoors period



  18. @thedragonofdalzell on July 3, 2024 at 6:55 pm

    We grow our greens with love and "Tegrity"



  19. @Hippyslacker on July 3, 2024 at 6:56 pm

    If they take so much pride in their grow……why do i see powdery mildew on their plants?? Im a redneck that grows in a shed……you wont find crap like that in my grow.



  20. @deejewell4831 on July 3, 2024 at 6:57 pm

    What about the cartridges of cannabis oil? Will they be making those as well?



  21. @sitindogmas on July 3, 2024 at 6:57 pm

    it erks me to see the wealthy dominate the legal market, instead of people who genuinely love the plant and grew up in and honestly worked In outdoor illegal grows



  22. @josephsaunders8618 on July 3, 2024 at 6:59 pm

    We the people should be able to grow cannabis for person use.



  23. @joelodyssey4475 on July 3, 2024 at 7:01 pm

    You can see the mold at 1:49



  24. @idrearamacirmtamta1293 on July 3, 2024 at 7:02 pm

    Nationally legalize recreational already



  25. @douglee4268 on July 3, 2024 at 7:05 pm

    This was totally inaccurate reporting and propaganda !



  26. @lalodaniels1388 on July 3, 2024 at 7:05 pm

    Honestly; big deals are made about the doses, but as a user for over ten years it doesn’t really matter. What matters to me is if it makes me high, and if it smokes smoothly without making me cough much. Everything else doesn’t really matter.



  27. @mariejane1567 on July 3, 2024 at 7:06 pm

    There it is more red tape to keep others out…..free market my arse. Total BS……



  28. @mariejane1567 on July 3, 2024 at 7:07 pm

    After they arrested and ruined the lives of millions of people throwing them in jail. Disgusting………



  29. @ricardomckenzie5568 on July 3, 2024 at 7:07 pm

    How to make more money? – regulate an already booming industry. How does the government push out the small guy, by regulating the already booming industry.



  30. @diocletianrecords1089 on July 3, 2024 at 7:11 pm

    Cannabis is a life-saver.



  31. @jeannejohnston2669 on July 3, 2024 at 7:14 pm

    The reporter gave false information about the health and medical benefits of marijuana at the end of the report. That’s why I reported this video.



  32. @theohiocannabisreport on July 3, 2024 at 7:14 pm

    This is so annoying!! What about all of the BIPOC folks demonized and criminalized behind prohibition.



  33. @kathyreed8715 on July 3, 2024 at 7:14 pm

    Declassify cannabis



  34. @Infinitebrandon on July 3, 2024 at 7:17 pm

    Boring



  35. @fuhq2868 on July 3, 2024 at 7:19 pm

    Vote anyone out of office who is against legalization of weed 2024



  36. @eddieschneider1947 on July 3, 2024 at 7:19 pm

    THE RISK of NOT taking cannabis is even more so a risk of anxiety.



  37. @NicholleChristineEdwards on July 3, 2024 at 7:19 pm

    Welcome. ✌️



  38. @schousehead on July 3, 2024 at 7:20 pm
