    Hopefully none of the lawmakers that have imprisoned people over the herb are not allowed to partake in the legality.



  2. Steve on November 17, 2023 at 12:48 am

    People need to be released from prison.



  3. Lebron James on November 17, 2023 at 12:48 am

    Crazy how it’s still illegal smh ban alcohol



  4. Michael Brown on November 17, 2023 at 12:48 am

    Until the crook politicians running this country get their cut, it won’t be Federally legalized.



  5. Victor Vasquez on November 17, 2023 at 12:50 am

    legalize it



  6. Matthew Robert on November 17, 2023 at 12:51 am

    This is so stupid, you’re gonna pass a baking act. And federally, it’s still illegal. So basically you’re gonna do entrapment on people?



  7. SuperSmoker420 on November 17, 2023 at 12:52 am

    It’s about money everything in life bro 😎



  8. GullibleIgnorantGreedyIndifferent on November 17, 2023 at 12:53 am

    I can see the RepubliCANTS using this banking bill to shut down the financial system for cannabis industry.

    and in other news…..the sales of the Doobie Brothers music has quadrupled overnight and the stock market has seen historic increases in the sale of snack industry stocks.



  11. Taylor Knox on November 17, 2023 at 12:55 am

    California cops have been stealing money from armored cars transporting cash made in legal dispensaries. I guess that will end. Corruption everywhere. This will help end that gangster police shakedown.



  12. Michael Purcell on November 17, 2023 at 12:57 am

    Hey, let’s work on this instead of something important like the budget



  13. Buddy Wayne on November 17, 2023 at 12:59 am

    America has fallen. Abominations, sorceries (Pharmakeia), witchcraft, the occultist of the devil.
    🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮



  14. David Nelson on November 17, 2023 at 12:59 am

    Yes finally they are going to seize your profits legally!

    Yes I see your deposit slips, unfortunately we have no record of it¡



  15. apologiamixer on November 17, 2023 at 12:59 am

    Just what Amerika needs is more dope.



  16. Jorge Marin on November 17, 2023 at 1:00 am

    About freaking time



  17. Hammy Ham Hamster on November 17, 2023 at 1:00 am

    {{{{{>>>>>:::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.:::<<<<<}}}}}



  18. #DrainMAGASwamp on November 17, 2023 at 1:05 am

  19. Rich Deborah sugah mama pays you good on November 17, 2023 at 1:06 am

  23. Jason Parish on November 17, 2023 at 1:14 am

    Great for the businessman… what about the Men and Women of this country??? FEDERALLY LEGALIZE!!!! Taxation and regulation just allow the system to continue to sink their claws into the people!!!



  24. SnarkyRC on November 17, 2023 at 1:15 am

    Legalize it



  25. Moonlight Pixie on November 17, 2023 at 1:15 am

    Its inconvenient thats for sure having to go pull cash out from a ATM before going to the dispensary..



  26. Joesph Reiley on November 17, 2023 at 1:15 am

    It’s a shame how slow our government works to pass a Bill, they should be ashamed of themselves.



  27. Vincent Asks on November 17, 2023 at 1:17 am

    Don’t you think they figured out that they have to do something quickly, as we head closer to the cashless society?



  28. Frog Kisser on November 17, 2023 at 1:18 am

    Tennessee needs to get on board! Come on Tennessee…what’s taking so long to legalize?



  29. The Enlightened Exchange on November 17, 2023 at 1:21 am

    Theyre stealing it n reselling it n making the actual college people pay



  30. Dj ALOHA MACHETE &THE GRAVITY / plasmoid sound on November 17, 2023 at 1:21 am

    The Herb is for the healing of all
    Nations
    Read it
    In revelations
    Watch weed save the economy for the first five years , student Loan debt was the last solid % goods and basic services are not an economy it’s debt slavery



  31. Penelopes G'ma on November 17, 2023 at 1:21 am

    Imagine the boost to the economy?



  32. David Werking on November 17, 2023 at 1:22 am

    So this would put large US conglomerates who want to sell marijuana (and they would be large, given the cost of sending marijuana through the same regulations we give cigarettes and alcohol in) in direct competition with the cartels (who don’t do any of that) over who gets to poison the population. WOW! COOL! CANT WAIT TO GROW UP IN AMERICA!



  33. Army Valdro on November 17, 2023 at 1:23 am

    This is stupid, theres already e banking at any dispensary. They use intermediary banks to hold the cash. The bigger banks just want the fees lol. Dog and pony show 😂.



  34. Mike Smith on November 17, 2023 at 1:25 am

    I never did like dope.



  35. Grasslands G on November 17, 2023 at 1:25 am

    Another win for the banksters and their lobbyists. But on the bright side, now there are some powerful people with incentives to push for legalization…

    Either way, I’ll probably be ready to quit altogether on the day it’s legalized…



  36. Volaire Larp on November 17, 2023 at 1:25 am

    "We’re not gonna legalize it federally, but we want to grab some of that money out of your pockets."



  37. octavio trejo on November 17, 2023 at 1:26 am

    its only illegal until government gets a cut like the mexican government lol



  38. Ann on November 17, 2023 at 1:26 am

    Hasn’t the safer act already passed the house before it went to the senate?



  39. robert brooks on November 17, 2023 at 1:26 am

    Only a matter of time – government smells big money and they want some of it



  40. BeepsArieAni on November 17, 2023 at 1:30 am

    Scam! This is so the banks can make millions and billions off credit card fees. Bars, liquor stores, smoke shopped, vape shops etc have cash on site. Hire security guards. This topic is the LEAST of the problems in this democrap country. More people will be in debt over credit card purchase, interest rates, late fees….all part of the scam.



  41. Smile it's free and it will make someone's day. on November 17, 2023 at 1:30 am

    Giving you guys 1 grain of sugar when you want a tea spoon.



  42. Ray Bustos on November 17, 2023 at 1:31 am

    They should just open it all because we’re not ejecting it with the syringe or breaking it down powderly, we’re given this gift from Mother Earth that we’re floating on this giant space rock in the middle of nowhere. .



  43. Keeping it real. on November 17, 2023 at 1:32 am

    Banks are already laundering money for cartels. 😅



  44. Expletive Deleted on November 17, 2023 at 1:37 am

    Cool…more corporate corruption…lol…do you ever quit?



  45. logicmyth on November 17, 2023 at 1:40 am

    Well, NBC newslady, unnamed, was easy to understand. Jane Wells Handler got the memo from an angry exec – newsbit unintelligible & "exciting". banks like Wells FARgo! To get LOANS!! [buncha info that matters emote-blasting outta Jane]… then report goes: Senate committee > Senate debate > back? to House… thanks so much. Crack open Comm. book



  46. Luchagain on November 17, 2023 at 1:40 am

    This is good news, because I work in the security industry, alarms, surveillance, evacuation, and I have had customers who have been attacked, robbed, beaten, and hospitalized when taking cash from place to place. It’s dangerous and this needs to be done for safety reasons on many levels. And God bless all the sick and cancer patients in need.



  47. Mikiko on November 17, 2023 at 1:41 am

    🎉🎉🎉

    Cannabis is a life saver.



  50. StrangerB on November 17, 2023 at 1:47 am
