It’s funny how people use slang words in official business.
It’s called cannabis ,
or in ancient times
kannah Bosm.
It’s almost like saying, we just freed these crackers from enslavement, even though they’re just Caucasian technically
Or why don’t we just say,
we freed the “N” words .
You’re all perpetrating a fraud .
Think about alcohol during prohibition .
After they legalized it, they didn’t say we legalized “spirits”
They said they legalized alcohol .
Stop using slang for proper nouns . Idiots………

I’m bedridden in Ky.
I can’t get help from any Dr.
I’m in severe pain and can’t drive. I need help! It’s God’s natural pain medication. It should be legal.
The Alcohol that is being sold is man made. The drunk ruined many lives, including mine.
I’ll be dead before I finally get HELP!
I COULD GROW MY OWN. BUT I WON’T go against the law. JUST ALLOW US TO GROW 2 PLANTS OR WHAT WE NEED … NOT TO SELL.
TO HAVE FOR PAIN.😢
IM TIRED OF SUFFERING!!!I HATE LAYING IN BED.
I AM VERY SMART. But I won’t break THE LAW. IM 61 WHY Must I suffer??? I hate Alcohol. But that’s legal!!!

If a person can buy alcohol daily then they should be able to purchase medical marijuana😂
@willmcgee4969 on July 10, 2024 at 11:12 am

Just completely legalize it already
@Dr.Pepper001 on July 10, 2024 at 11:15 am

But you can’t buy it until 2025? I’ll be dead by then. Hell, I need it now. Kentucky law-makers again shows their incompetency.

Congratulations, the government has found another tax revenue. This bill is useless unless they include a "grow your own" into the bill. Otherwise you will have to pay through the noise! Everyone know marijuana is no more harmful than alcohol.
@embassysweets8607 on July 10, 2024 at 11:22 am

If a person can drink alcohol and get drunk why can’t people decide how, when, why, etc they want to use marijuana?
@eastside0434 on July 10, 2024 at 11:24 am

Since when can these clowns tell people when they can smoke weed.?
@imcopper on July 10, 2024 at 11:25 am

why wait??
@oldehatt476 on July 10, 2024 at 11:25 am

Get your license for $125 to $200 that’s bull shit. Leave people alone. You weren’t elected king, you work for the people. I don’t even like or use pot, but many do. The delay is only to figure out how to tax it. More bull shit..
@DopeSalads on July 10, 2024 at 11:27 am

Honestly I don’t really care if it’s legal or not, there’s already other products out there like THC-0, THC-V, HHC, Delta-8, and other forms that are legal, cheaper, and stronger, I stopped smoking real weed 3 years ago and only smoke THC-O, THC-P, and HHC now, I don’t even have to order it online, I go right up the street to a smoke shop and get it for cheaper, I can get a 2.1 gram cart of THC-O for $30 but right now there on sale for only $11 a cart which is insanely cheap
@dennybrock6558 on July 10, 2024 at 11:34 am

Should have made legalized soon as possible not later, I don’t agree with the governor on a lot of things, but he’s right about cannabis
@janetasberry6483 on July 10, 2024 at 11:37 am

This is bullshit the government is petty af. Pass a bill but it don’t take affect for 2 years its medical ( medican) you dumb fucks joe biden and obama sucks big black fat dicks i no carp lip obama really does
@intelligentgamer9091 on July 10, 2024 at 11:37 am

People needs to understand that gotta have time to set shit up ! It might be until 2025 but for a state like Kentucky! Everyone made history yesterday! So don’t fucking complain! We’re grateful, we’ve gotten this far people!! Go Kentucky!!
@user-om9yf4kp4l on July 10, 2024 at 11:38 am

plants cannot be taxed,
Cannabis is a natural plant.
Men and women have the right to use any natural remedy to their discretion .
You must all in prohibition at once .
Stop being slaves to the system .
@johnjehovah8631 on July 10, 2024 at 11:42 am

Andy will find a way to mess this up and say shucks.
@beautifulchaos4383 on July 10, 2024 at 11:47 am

It’s about time. Next, Indiana.
@OutlawSeraphrim on July 10, 2024 at 11:54 am
