    A Plant 0 DEATHS in over 10,000 MADE BAD BY A HATER OF FREEDOM



  2. Luis Maldonado on May 18, 2022 at 7:29 pm

    Sup my New Yorkers



  3. Polo J on May 18, 2022 at 7:29 pm

    Prices definitely went down but designer weed kinda went up but it depends on what city you in. Weed is cheaper on west coast



  4. LetArtsLive on May 18, 2022 at 7:30 pm

    It is a plant it should not be that expensive oregano doesn’t cost that much what the f*** no people don’t want to pay more that’s b*******. Maybe a lot of the New York weed is still that crappy Brown Mexican s*** I used to get when I lived in Bedford Hills it sucked I haven’t had anything that crappy since I moved up by Buffalo. If the dispensaries could match my dealer’s price I’d buy it there maybe they will deliver



  5. DaKermitFrog on May 18, 2022 at 7:33 pm

    Who cares about the price, just legalize it, then once you have surplus and people can actually grow it, you’ll actually be able to get some without problems. Right now you gotta know a guy, who knows a guy, who you then have to wait on to get in touch with your buddy, then wait to actually get it. It’s an entire day process vs. Taking a trip to the store and buying the shit. So annoying it’s still illegal. Decriminalizing it isn’t enough. Hurry the fuck up new york!



  6. Louphoria on May 18, 2022 at 7:35 pm

    It always start with weed then goes the hardcore stuff smh 🤦🏽‍♂️ more crackheads about be roaming the streets soon



  7. sit n spin on May 18, 2022 at 7:35 pm

    Do your research weed is a big deal it should only be used medically for some anxiety , very little muscle pain relief ,helps with nausea , seriously does not cure cancer I will definitely argue with that myth but by the Time you read all of this you won’t remember anything anyways & you’ll just get aggravated snapping at people for no reason because your BRAIN is shrinking and your stuck on stupid spending your last dollar to get weed so smoke one and let your life just pass you by without realizing how many days,weeks,months, even years you have wasted

    Tell me why this dude looks like Eazy E when he was in GTA San andreas



  9. Kooka Munga on May 18, 2022 at 7:41 pm

    The place where I live has the most cannabis users per capita. Thats right . People in nova scotia use the most cannabis worldwide. We hold that record . Everything is fine here . What does that tell you ? It tells you someone is not telling the truth. The roads are terrible and sometimes the weather is too but society isn’t coming unraveled at the seams as some would have us believe.

    Knowing people that go to trashy jails for months just cause they were selling a few ounces to PAY their RENT. It’s really been a sad thing to watch, the quality will go up because “your friend” can source it here from a professional grow operation, instead of “it comes from Cali” or where ever the stink packs come from. Some people can tell what they’re smoking, some people can’t, it’s a gift

    The Concrete Jungle is about to change into the Dope Jungle.



  12. Rebor on May 18, 2022 at 7:45 pm

    it’s legal, let’s go!!



  13. Stephen Koenig on May 18, 2022 at 7:46 pm

    It’s absolutely disgusting. You smell it every single time you go outside and it smells like burning dog shit.



  14. Kooka Munga on May 18, 2022 at 7:48 pm

    News from Canada after seven months of legalization . Everything is freaking fine . There is no increase in auto accident road fatalities. There is no increase in Schizophrenia. There has been a spike in hospital visits resulting from eating edibles but no fatalities. All the bad things that were said were going to happen did not . Just because a driver in an accident showed thc positive does not mean it caused the accident . The trace amount of thc could have been floating around in the blood stream from a toke the day before and had nothing to do with fault . All the push against cannabis is from people who will make less money come legalization. These are the pharmaceutical giants ,alcohol , tobacco and prison industries. The prision industry locks a disproportionate number of people of color up . Ths scum make their bread and butter from locking up minorities up . The argument about cannabis increasing homelessness any laziness is a lie too but you will have to do your own research on that . I am busy and active have to have a nice toke and go bicycle riding for the day ta .

    New York already has Spliff Nation. They deliver in every borough and they give a free edible or preroll per order. Check out Google or Yelp them, the best thing since sliced bread.



  16. Pheonyx Abner on May 18, 2022 at 7:48 pm

    Legalize it federally already!



  17. Julio Julio on May 18, 2022 at 7:49 pm

    Are you going to do a follow up video



  18. Devon Cripsy on May 18, 2022 at 7:50 pm

    When did Easy E come back from the dead?



  19. LetArtsLive on May 18, 2022 at 7:50 pm

    The prices should not go up they should go down not up. These are also let people grow their own but they’re not going to. In New York they charge people for a medical marijuana license $200 the first year 150 every year after that that’s ridiculous. I am a strong weed advocate. They should be using every piece of that plant making plastic. People suffering and pain don’t have to pay for narcotics it’s all to do with big Pharma they do not want the healing plant legal. It’s b******* that’s what it is in New York if you grow your own weed it’s a super felony because the weight will be more than a pound and they’re not going to dry it out first. Maybe if every person that smoked weed started growing it they couldn’t do anything how could they



  20. Tommy Doolittle on May 18, 2022 at 7:51 pm

    Honestly as a NY grasshead I’m not too excited about this ‘raise in price’ as well as taxes… I’m pretty happy with that 10$/pergram and 25$/3grams and such that dealers around here do… and the herb isnt reggie, its loud af strains. All I’m saying is, when it gets legalized I rly hope the pluggos keep at it, cuz I rly dont wanna sacrifice these low black market prices 😂



  21. Tammy’s Vlogs on May 18, 2022 at 7:51 pm

    🤢🤮🤮🤮



  22. ciel222 on May 18, 2022 at 7:51 pm

    It’s the NEGATIVE IMPACT it can have on someone health , that’s the reason I don’t support it. It is similar to cigarettes , you are more likely to have lung cancer, breathing problems , COPD , emphysema and the list go on and on.



  23. PuffingRaccoon420떨피는언니TV on May 18, 2022 at 7:52 pm

    Just fking legalize it already.



  24. Bronxbomber11b on May 18, 2022 at 7:52 pm

    It’s legal baby!! 718 killa queens



  25. Joyfull Catering on May 18, 2022 at 7:53 pm

    💖💛💚



  26. Al D. on May 18, 2022 at 7:54 pm

    Why for so long have people gone to jail and have arrest records for having a plant? What if alfalfa made you feel good to chew it? Whould they ban that? Would people go to jail? Pot has been in our society for so long, is this war with law enforcement ever going to end? How long will law abiding people continue to be arrested for this ridiculous charge of possession of a plant that is never going away?



  27. Mike Quinn Quinn on May 18, 2022 at 7:57 pm

    Weed has been legal for yrs in Colorado , so fyi so cannot smoke anywhere unless you lie in apartment of home , and even apartments can ban it . All this over a plant , but the covid vaccine is ok even if not FDA approved , stupid country .



  28. Truong Ly on May 18, 2022 at 7:59 pm

    I’m still here smoking no matter what I’m happy



  29. Joseph Browne on May 18, 2022 at 8:00 pm

  30. PanaJack12 on May 18, 2022 at 8:00 pm

  31. Louie Louie on May 18, 2022 at 8:02 pm

    Be on the lookout for DUI’s, I have a feeling its gonna go through the roof. Be smart America. Don’t give them a reason to make it illegal again.



  32. David Dees on May 18, 2022 at 8:03 pm

    New York City now stinks like weed city. I’m so happy I moved to fresh air Florida where its still illegal.



  33. Liam Green on May 18, 2022 at 8:03 pm

    That’s crazy how you knew?



  35. email person on May 18, 2022 at 8:05 pm

    Its gon take at least a year after legalization before we get a decent amount of weed shops opening



  36. Cy Klebs on May 18, 2022 at 8:10 pm

    Favorable to re-legalize. Enable to be discriminating away from the Expedia skank.



  37. Walter Dominiquez on May 18, 2022 at 8:10 pm

    Lol as a Coloradan looking to travel to NYC who gets 8ths for 25 and ounces for 125 for below (otd tax included) you guys are really in for a treat. But when it does become legal expect wages and rent to go higher. The entire economy will be transformed.



  38. Furquan Mahdi on May 18, 2022 at 8:10 pm

    2020 NYC please hurry



  39. Emily Patrick on May 18, 2022 at 8:11 pm

    I’d honestly rather people smoke weed than do hard drugs like coke or heroine



  40. K P on May 18, 2022 at 8:14 pm

    Absolutely there should be no one in jail for any amount of cannabis. Should have never been made illegal in the first place.



  41. Larry TheeArtist on May 18, 2022 at 8:15 pm

  42. Violet Light on May 18, 2022 at 8:18 pm

  43. Dave Sirota on May 18, 2022 at 8:19 pm

    you can still buy an 8th at 35$ …thats not really a price jump…



  44. Bobby Hill on May 18, 2022 at 8:20 pm

  45. Roberto V on May 18, 2022 at 8:22 pm

  47. KEZ on May 18, 2022 at 8:23 pm

    I hope it doesn’t come to NY. Can’t unring the bell.



  48. TheWaski77 on May 18, 2022 at 8:24 pm

    He interviewed a bunch of dope users, not the real citizens, who everyday explained that smoking is wrong. Drugs are killing people. We need kids smoking 🚬 FREE!!!!



  49. Market Investing on May 18, 2022 at 8:24 pm

    Regulation will bring in big companies, and push out the black market. Best thing you can do is buy stock in these companies.



  50. Malik on May 18, 2022 at 8:24 pm

    We finally made it , UNION SQAURE bout to have a big cloud smoke over it ‼️‼️
