Georgia is so far behind
It grows naturally, shouldn’t be called a drug. It’s not made in a lab (though some strains could be).
"United" States of America but they all have different laws to punish you just doesn’t make sense, many states allow it for anyone while some throw you in jail and ruin your life over it . Get thy head out of thy ass / asses. Alcohol and cigarettes is way worse than some weed but that’s legal 🤤🤤
It’s to cut blacks slack.
Good, it helps me with bodily pains after a long day of work. I’m gonna get a medical card.
Alright,But if the marijuana affects their attitude they should be going to jail.
🖕 where is all the good weed.
sayNoToDispensaryCannabinoids
Georgia and Indiana are inbred backwards states
The only reason it was made illegal, is because it’s too useful and it’s products are capable of competing within several industries: Medicine, Textile, Adhesive, Bio Fuel, Fiber Optics, Plastics, Rope, Flour, Concrete… to name a few. As with many things in the United States, we’ve been lied to, stolen from, and punished so the Wealthy can make even more at the expense of We the People.
Also… willing to bet GA is more focused on revenue generated for the Courts via folks passing through the State. Every out of State pull over will focuse on drugs, regardless the reason they cite for being pulled over. They’ll make a comment to reflect they believe your’re being defensive, acting odd, talking funny, they smell something. Whatever they can use to assert justification to search the vehicle and the occupants. Most folks will not fight, they’ll simply pay the ticket. More than a million folks pass through and or visit GA annually.

We need a more easily controlled docile population.
Ripple effects for sure. If this is inacted, it means more crime. It does more damage to families then alcohol. Alcohol just gets the blame.
This is an admission that the millions of humans harmed by a lie that cannabis was the worst drug on earth the reality is cannabis is a nutraceutical and metabolic essential that the government is trying to prevent you from having access to
democrats do love their drugs.
Class one heroine,lsd😂😂What!!!!??
That would be like them telling me I couldnt have my blood pressure medication in that state// Some lawyer please chime in on this ..
It’s about time, a bit overdue, but good nonetheless.
Ofcourse in Georgia, they’ll say "it’s not necessary but we’re STILL going to arrest ppl for it".
Schedule 3 is BS ! Everyone should call their US senators and encourage them to sign on to Senate bill CAOA that legalizes cannabis at the federal level ! Read the CAOA bill online and call your senators !
we about half way there….
And now our "hemp thca" is gone now also WTF!!
Georgia will never get it’s head out of its ass
Sending anybody to jail for this medication has been one of America’s greatest crimes! Randolph Hearst didn’t want competition from hemp paper industry and used his newspapers to slander marijuana! That’s how it became illegal! Cuz Randy wanted to make more money!!
Im a northerner living in the south and everything is slower down here the traffic the laws and the people im not even sure whats spoken in the south is English point is its time to catch up
Political theater 😊

It changes nothing for those is us who realized a long time ago, no one owns a plant. That thought is silly. It’s very easy to get. Always has been
Idaho is gonna hate this they love charges for weed all the $$ they are gonna lose
Horrible idea
Marijuana is not a drug, the end 😂
About time. The laws against marijuana are insane.
Georgia is too uptight to fully legalize. Which is ironic since we could really benefit from it in so many ways.
Lmao just legalize it. This is sad. Acting like it’s harmful lol I hate this place.
In the 1930’s, the lumber and cotton industries realized that hemp could severely impact their level of income and successfully lobbied congress to classify marijuana as a schedule 1 drug so no one could even grow hemp. They also did it to persecute blacks and the poor.
Georgia needs to keep producing money for all the machinery that benefits from the proceeds of criminal cases.
it’ll never be legal here… ever!
I never thought ID EVER Write or Say this but
Thx fox. You’ve clarified something correct for me!
it is a medicine safer and healthier than cigarettes which are loaded with added chemicals that cause cancer and other health problems
Marijuana Kills … the Alcohol Industrial Complex. We can`t let that happen. The Bible forbids it. How would we drink Jesus` blood in church?
Its not a drug . Man makes drugs God made pot .its a plant that grows naturally all over our planet it was made illegal by rich industrial paper and pulp mills because it makes a better class of paper , cloth , bio fuel ,wood products and so much more easily renewable resource .
Hey biden give it up even the potheads hate you. Maby you can get the heroin users to vote for you…😮😮😮
Cigarette companies aren’t so powerful anymore.
Ghetto blacks won’t care, they’ll still smoke in a public park the inconsiderate pricks
This could really help the tobacco growing states.
Marijuana Kills … the Alcohol Industrial Complex. We can`t let that happen. The Bible explicitly forbids it. How would we drink Jesus` blood in church?
It Became Legalized In Virginia During The Pandemic Then I Ended Up Moved To Wack Georgia 🙄🤦🏾♂️
Fluoride IN The Water BY LAW ? That Drug Takes Away 20 Or More IQ Points By LAW Stupid People So Worry About The Marijuana ???
Asking all Georgians, "Why is it still illegal in Georgia" ?
Biden and democrats are making illegal stuff legal and legal stuff illegal. Making crimes, drugs and abortions legal.
🐂🐂🐂🐂💩💩💩💩. Dope is Dope.
