All about the $$!! 🥱
No difference than tobacco, just healthy
Imagine thinking it was ever used by only one party….
Calling patient’s potheads like this author is true to the dirty filthy progressive history of refer madness which did not start with the moron progressive Nixon. It started with progressive prohibitionist in the early 1930’s. Read any objective history of Harry J and longer an WJ Hearst and the true roots of filthy progressivism becomes clear. This piece is pitiful.
Love it.
Maybe the ones that learned to love it can talk to the Republican tyrants of Ohio and convince them to stop dicking around with our voter supported recreational legalization of marijuana. They handicapped it going out of the gate and are trying to cripple it with even more restrictions. Same goes for the medical program. You can drive to Michigan and get the same potency Ohio sells as medicinal through their recreational program,no medical card at $200-250 annually,no price gouging there. I’m convinced the states Republican legislators are continuing to do their best to torpedo the program.
It’s time to legalize for recreational use everywhere. This has gone on too long.
I am 100% in favor of…..what were we talking about again?
⬆️🇺🇲🇺🇲🖊️
and if you grow it your own in your Garden outside you can test it yourself once you roll it up and light it. What tests? no need for that.
Wisconsin is ruled, not represented.
Our gop would rather send us to prison for a plant than " let us " have what was never theirs to take from us in the first place.
50000 a year for incarcerated person.
That’s your tax dollars working against you.
For somebody else to profit from it.
Just Federal legalize it!
Why not all amounts of cannabis? Oh yeah they want all the money. Weird how I could buy 20kegs of beer and 200hundred cartons of cigarettes but I can’t get menthol unless I drive to an Indian owned gas station.
If alcohol is legal there is no reason why cannabis should not be.
It should be legal in every state every city and be taxed. Our national debt would be gone in no time. Let’s face it alcohol is more deadly dangerous and can turn even the best man evil quick. You never heard of someone on pot killing a family because they were on the wrong side of the road. Pot is not a gateway drug if anything is its alcohol but we just tax it and it’s legal. Bull cockka 😅
The gov needs to restructure the government like we do our cities some times you got to build to change while other times you got to change in order to grow so change shouldn’t be looked at as bad it should be embraced like a child being born into the world
Cause what’s more American than marijuana? Even Washington himself had a plantation dedicated to growing the lord’s loud
How is it fair to be fired for off duty marijuana use. But alcohol is ok for off duty use. Maybe federal workers should not show up for work until it is legalized federally.
We’ve gone as far as we’re gonna go toward legalization. From here on out, as fascism takes hold here and across the planet, pot will once again be demonized.
He only speaks of legalization in Florida. We want it legal federally
🇺🇸
good people like it too
South Carolina would be unstoppable if we legalize thc. This should have been the first southern state to legalize.
Christian magas want rollback to fiftirs penalties
who knows the republicas might actually get legislation passed , the democrats are better at pretending to care
Its all about the dollar that is what they want and the people who smoke bud just want to smoke that is it we have no problem with the laws that we all have to follow just the one about ganja
Légalise it.
Still dont hear them saying anything about owning a gun and smoking. If an alcoholic can own one so should a pothead.
I get the sense, especially because they elected a felon, it’s part of the "pro-crime party" spirit.
$$$
Could you talk to the Indiana governor?
Weed helped me quit drugs and cigarettes
Medical marijuana should be available to disabled, in All of the USA… If you really care
ECONOMICS, pure and simple
Buy $IGC IT IS READY FOR A HUGE RUN😊
Opiates are killing people
It appears that the endocannabinoid system is intimately involved in tissue healing in the face of inflammatory conditions, correlating clinically with prevention and treatment of inflammation-mediated painThanking all growers breeders cultivators lovers of the master plant. She breeds passion and homeostasis cb2 receptor inhibits sars2. Ganja is a medicinal treasure trove. Support your local farmers peace and love.
Every state needs to legalize recreationally or we will never have this become legalized. The united states signed a united nation international treaty in 1961 which both prohibits marijuana as well as negating the deas rescheduling procedure and locking marijuana in at a schedule one or two and is not allowed to be rescheduled lower based on this treaty referred to as the single convention on narcotics of 1961. Until this treaty is ratified to supersede the deas scheduling by utilizing known facts on whether the drugs meet the actual criteria for classification as a controlled substance weed will never be federally legal as it’s internationally illegal
I vote conservative and have supported legalization. Problem is the politicians want to stuff their pockets and protect the wealthy to be the only ones able to sell. Sadly most politicians both democrat and republican do the same thing. If the government was a private organization we would have fired it yesterday!
Should be legal, safer than alcohol and opioids, saves your Liver
Here is a thought…You can legalize it 100% all you want, but you can still lose your job. Working people smoke weed too, but it is a high risk, with pun intended regardless of legality. Even with non-infused hemp, a spectacular option for people to enjoy a short live euphoric trip without a ridiculous mind altering high, it is non-psychoactive, though with .3% of Delta 9 THC, it can and will show up in your system for drug test because they are just looking for THC period and don’t distinguish between D8, D9, HHC and other THC related cannabinoids. The problem is the THCa in hemp adds on to delta 9 when heated where it can turn that .3% into up to 10%-15% of Delta 9 and even higher depending on the percentage of THCa that is present. Perhaps they need to adjust the 50ng threshold to drug test where the THC in hemp wont trigger a fail. You may have learned something as well. THCa is a natural cannabinoid in buds that is legal, but can technically turn hemp flower into marijuana just from heating it up e.g. smoking it. That is why THCa flower has become popular in the past year. It is like a tootsie roll pop… Its two candies in one.
Alcohol Kills , Cannabis Heals ! Which Is Legal ?
Home Grown Is Good , Teaches Folks To Be Sufficient .
Big Monies Talk ,To Politicians /;-((
The Lies Run Deep , In This World..
I’m 71yrs Old , Been lied To For 60+yrs, Both Parties ! Do The Damn Thing.
This is bullshit tho cause you just gotta look at Texas to know republicans still hate weed
When I brewed beer at home, I never worried about the cops busting me for HAVING TOO MUCH BEER.
Someone needs to tell Dan Patrick, down here in Texas. Even when the citizens vote for decriminalization, he sues the city. Despicable man
Please place absolute and total ban on tobacco and alcohol products, including mouthwash.
They insist the above two are so bad and marijuana is just so great and dandy.
And, magic mushrooms are just fine, too, are they not??
Investigate why Americans have been force other countries to legalize all those dope products.
Just an aside, even the announcer in this video sounds like he is doped up.
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family..
