    You can not OD off Marijuana



  2. @ToneLoc36 on September 28, 2024 at 7:55 pm

    Where tf are yall getting your "facts"? I swear y’all are drinking the wrong water.



  3. @wrensview171 on September 28, 2024 at 7:56 pm

    Wow, they’re "targeting" legal adults, that is some scaremongering language I don’t normally hear from this channel. If kids getting into things is such a concern, just package these products with the same twist caps as pill bottles and store them out of reach



  4. @tce_productions on September 28, 2024 at 7:58 pm

    Legalize already



  5. @noshitrizzo on September 28, 2024 at 7:59 pm

    1:00 you CAN NOT overdose on marijuana what a demonstrable lie



  6. @SamCh-jc7un on September 28, 2024 at 8:00 pm

    Making it more complicated than it really is.



  7. @jawjackin6513 on September 28, 2024 at 8:00 pm

    How many people have died from thc overdose? Asking for a friend



  8. @fcadcock on September 28, 2024 at 8:02 pm

    "companies are targeting people from 18-25"

    So … They’re targeting adults? Oh, no!



  9. @user-gf7xz1pd9u on September 28, 2024 at 8:05 pm

    People die from not having it. NOBODY overdoses on weed. Idiots. Let someone smart run the state please.



  10. @Kmp4000 on September 28, 2024 at 8:06 pm

    Bro I wish they can



  11. @captaincrunch1707 on September 28, 2024 at 8:07 pm

    Our state always has these self righteous troglodytes who make things worse. They won’t dare go against alcohol but they’ll go after Suboxone or Weed as if it’s some apocalyptic chemical. These clowns have their head so far up their own butt , imho . Feel ashamed to call these people neighbors



  12. @TerriAnnNiemeier-dy3no on September 28, 2024 at 8:10 pm

    It makes you lazy n horny something Tennessee doesn’t really need ?



  13. @Jason_903 on September 28, 2024 at 8:12 pm

    So is it just 3 percent hell that don’t get you high they had .3 and that’s 30 percent would be awesome but she said .03 that would be right but I’m not wasting my money on that!πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚



  14. @dank21511 on September 28, 2024 at 8:13 pm

    Ridiculous that thc is still schedule 1 , and even schedule 3 is way too high as the withdrawal from a benzodiazepine can kill you and they are very addictive and only listed as schedule 4 drugs and codiene 5 lol yeah I think maybe the entire drug scheduling list needs an immediate upgrade to the 21st century. This is definitely progress tho.



  15. @Tesla69420 on September 28, 2024 at 8:15 pm

    Meanwhile cancer causing tobacco is perfectly legal…..



  16. @KylerG420 on September 28, 2024 at 8:15 pm

    Zero people have died from thc. More people have died from penuts and drinking water



  17. @GreysonMartin-p9z on September 28, 2024 at 8:16 pm

    It will lower overdose rates



  18. @jawjackin6513 on September 28, 2024 at 8:16 pm

    So tired of government over-reach.



  19. @landongunn3397 on September 28, 2024 at 8:17 pm

    Just legalize it weed is not bad like the government says it is



  20. @kevincoyle1097 on September 28, 2024 at 8:17 pm

    What the hell is the big girl on??



  21. @iliketurtles667 on September 28, 2024 at 8:18 pm

    Should be legal for proper dosage and anti contaminants for 21+. Not in your car or not in public just for personal use at home. Also, It’s a plant! How can anyone outlaw a plant? What’s next, onions because they hurt your eyes??



  22. @rickymckim4480 on September 28, 2024 at 8:18 pm

    They just want the tax money



  23. @HeritageSoftail on September 28, 2024 at 8:18 pm

    This woman is ridiculous



  24. @jenniferrogers2981 on September 28, 2024 at 8:20 pm

    These people will lie and manipulate everything in order to hold onto outdated, false ideology. Not a single legal place I’ve bought from or been into has focused on young people. They are explicitly telling those the dangers of smoking before 21 and a number going as far as to tell people that smoking before 25 isn’t ideal. The level of cherry picking and gaslighting by the Republican party in this state is absolutely ridiculous.

    If you support alcohol being legal, there’s no reason to keep Marijuana illegal.



  25. @cykablyat8513 on September 28, 2024 at 8:23 pm

    Tennesseeans are not worried about weed one tiny bit.
    I’ve buried two of my lifelong friends from fentanyl poisoning. One was 19, the other was 23.
    Get these ignorant politicians out folks. πŸ—³
    vote against any and all self-centered corporate owned politicians



  26. @dvpeboibeats23 on September 28, 2024 at 8:28 pm

    That’s the parents fault wtf



  27. @stayeduptolate6586 on September 28, 2024 at 8:29 pm

    She really said you can overdose on cannabis πŸ˜‚



  28. @shawhavy on September 28, 2024 at 8:30 pm

    Just like any other medication it’s up to the parents to lock it up and keep it away from their kids



  29. @AC-re9ee on September 28, 2024 at 8:31 pm

    I dont care if they legalize it or not, i smoke as much as i want πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚



  30. @robertd7073 on September 28, 2024 at 8:31 pm

    The untaxed drugs, are the bad drugs



  31. @mickeyjohnson1137 on September 28, 2024 at 8:34 pm

    Not true that it is more potent now than in the past! Just not true. I lived in the past. I know.



  32. @sir.cannabis1173 on September 28, 2024 at 8:34 pm

    It’s called cannabis but they keep calling it Marijuana?



  33. @Chaseh1616 on September 28, 2024 at 8:34 pm

    Legalize! Y’all are way behind. Stop embarrassing yourselves.



  34. @jessegarrison6522 on September 28, 2024 at 8:36 pm

    FACT! You can not overdose on marijuana.



  35. @robertd7073 on September 28, 2024 at 8:38 pm

    10 percent for the big guy
    ..we get it… it’s all about who you know…



  36. @jawjackin6513 on September 28, 2024 at 8:39 pm

    What s bunch of bs! Legalize already



  37. @magicmerlin1 on September 28, 2024 at 8:41 pm

  38. @jamesmurray5934 on September 28, 2024 at 8:45 pm
