Just pass it all ready
"iTS a sChEdule 1 dRugš¤Ŗ".
Yeah, that should change too, buddy.š¤”
You can tell the Prosecutor is doing the bidding of the big money that doesn’t want this legalized. Who might that be?
It’s sad we still jail and criminalize people for this… That prosecutor sounds a bit like a sociopath lol
What do you know, a white prosecuting attorney with a conservative/negative stance on this issue.
We are so behind on times.
Legalize it. It doesnāt need rescheduled. It needs removed entirely.
We are so two faced/hypocritical on this
Alcohol and cigarettes are far more dangerous, yet we have advertisement up the ass all over the media for them. (Not as much cigarettes, but they just need banned at this point)
After all this is done, spend more money on proper research and education on it all.
It isnāt a drug that is entirely safe. It has its negative effects, but so does sugar and everything else we donāt CONTROL.
You know what causes more depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, etc? A capitalistic society/system that isnāt for the people
Constant racism, sexism, human rights being taken away, and many more to name.
That is the leading cause of mental health issues. That wonāt be talked about though properly because well, you know who keeps that talk hushed.
TL;DR: Legalize, remove as scheduled substance, heavily invest in education, research, and various other healthy avenues.
For fuck sake we are so scared of change. But it isnāt just that, itās what may change/attack the system and those in charge donāt want that.
Let’s do it

Man U said itās not safe for drivers but alcohol is he sounds dumb af š
The prosecutor is probably the guy who drinks the second he gets home from work. BUT OOOH NO, not marijuana!
Let’s see now gambling is ok. Gay marriage is ok. So now you have a hang up with weed? WTF?

In Florida we need 800,000 signatures. I’m allergic to alcohol šš« ššššššš

MN just became legal. YES!
It should be legal federally
Let’s go!
_"āIn strict medical terms marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume. For example, eating 10 raw potatoes can result in a toxic response. By comparison, it is physically impossible to eat enough marijuana to induce death. Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man."_
*- Francis Young (DEA Administrative Law Judge – 1988])*
_"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use…ā_

_āCongress should definitely consider decriminalizing possession of marijuana… We should concentrate on prosecuting the rapists and burglars who are a menace to society.ā_

_"Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could."_
_āThe anti-marijuana campaign is a cancerous tissue of lies, undermining law enforcement, aggravating the drug problem, depriving the sick of needed help and suckering well intentioned conservatives and countless frightened parents.ā_
*- William F. Buckley Jr. (American conservative author & commentator)*
_"The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world."_

_"Pot is a better drug than alcohol. I’ll prove it to you. You’re at a ball game or a concert, and someone’s really violent and aggressive and obnoxious, are they drunk or are they smoking pot?"_
_āWhy is pot against the law? It wouldn’t be because anyone can grow it, and therefore you can’t make a profit off it, would it?ā_
_āā¦It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesnāt the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit ā¦ unnatural?ā_

I’m going to vote on it we need the money our economy sucks
Michigan >>>>>
Lou Tobin has a job as a prosecuting attorney and has these fallacious views? Maybe he’s paid to lie or something. But the idea that weed is somehow more dangerous than alcohol or tobacco is pretty insane and unsupported by evidence. "It’s not something most people across the state of Ohio want" another blatant lie. Most people in Ohio would vote for legalization and I would bet my net worth on that, what about you Lou?
LEGALIZE IT DUDE!!!!!
It’s ridiculous that Ohio and it’s crazy conservatives and qanon paranoids keep bringing up all kinds of reasons as to why they won’t legalize recreational marijuana even though people do it anyway! and Ohio or any other state that says it’s illegal, will never ever be able to stop people from growing it or smoking it and enjoying it!!! including myself! there’s millions of tax dollars the state of Ohio and these other NAY SAYING STATES could be making if they made it legal and taxed it when people purchase! I mean weed is safer than cigarettes! And those are "Legal"
so alcohol is ok? and you dont worry about drivers while pushing your man made poison on to us Lou?
Do you know any smokers who have developed this problem?
"A huge Danish study shows that up to 30 percent of psychosis diagnoses in young men could have been prevented if these individuals hadnāt used marijuana heavily."
From:
Heavy Cannabis Use Linked to Schizophrenia, Especially among Young Men
Scientific American
If u go home and do it and ur job decides to do a random drug test and it’s In ur system they can fire u.
Who votes for this? The People or just the politicians?
This is dumb that he saying this not what Ohioans want boycott of his mf already
the prosecutor is against this because he would lose business and not be able to prosecute marijuana cases.
The big question is will these new states avoid the mistakes that CA and CO made ( too high taxes and too much red tape ) Don’t mess it up and invite the black market cartels in !
That guy can’t use driving as an excuse, there are already laws against driving while intoxicated, and they’re not limited to alcohol. And if legalizing it were a matter of driving, then you would think alcohol would be illegal to consume as well. So his argument about intoxicated drivers and Cannabis are moot.
Pot? Dangerous for drivers? How ?
This was an excellent segment!!
Thank you for reporting on it !
Iām DEFINITELY ready to support this bill
š„š
Please continue to keep us updated šš¼
Go Ohio, Iāll keep praying for you all from Illinois. May God bring you justice. Maybe someday I can go to the place where my grandfather grew up (Sandusky) and smoke a chillum in peace.
How about we start telling the people why it was made illegal to begin with.
Patented drug, fiber and pulp barons and baronesses bribed our government to ban it and today shady companies like Insys therapeutics, Johnson and Johnson, Purdue Pharma and Phizer spend tons of money every year to keep it illegal because they are greedy and they see it as competition.
Anyone speaking out against legalizing cannabis is either intelectually impoverished and deceived by liars or they are themselves a liar who thinks they will make more money by banning cannabis, which is pathetic because they donāt realize that their own lives suffer because this plant is a staple of life and it helps all of society to be more prosperous. I am a much better worker when I used cannabis and I am more friendly because I am not suffering as much and so all society around me is blessed if I have cannabis.
This is the same with all the other drugs. Cocaine and heroin can save and improve lives but the patented drug, medical and private prison lobbies work tirelessly to ban and stigmatize these drugs too along with every other drug that is illegal.
The War On Drugs and the CSA are a hoax, wicked scandals that must come to an end for our countries to be blessed.
It’s best to legalize it so people can get safe Marijuana by getting it from dispensers or grow their own instead of risking getting some laced with dangerous grugs
1:10 Lou Tobin is spitting out lies when known facts are out there going against what he’s saying.
Lol this may sound crazy but non recreational weed is the reason I havenāt moved back to Cleveland from Ohio, I want to be able to smoke my weed in peace
Itās about time. Is the road is not dangerous when they have you taking all of these opioids that do harm to our bodies now? Itās funny when you can go to the hospital and get PCP with a side antidepressant. Make it make sense.
That’s a no for me, I do not wanna be out and smell that shit.š
Give us grow and fk off
Any government officials against it needs voted out or fired this kind of refer madness retrospect thought process is backwards thinking and out of date.
