#Cannabis #Marijuana #Legalization
Both major political parties in the United States should be ashamed that Weed is illegal!
So truck drivers I see along with some people that are in accidents along the freeway crashing might be feds? Trying to blame cannabis users to set our laws.??? Why would they not?? Our laws need to be funded… right???? Americans???
Then later they have many addictions and problems and they don’t know how to stop the problem the government just needs the money for them because if you die they don’t care about your life
Did anyone notice that reporter couldnt stop smiling? I think he smoked with them.
Marijuana should stay illegal period. I have rights not have people around who smoke pot or do any another illegal drugs it screws realty and your health as well as putting other people’s safety at risk this is not allowable around me at work or any other place I may be at out side of work . Don’t let drug users put other people’s health and safety at risk . Those who say get with it catch up to society just except Marijuana use are the copouts losers and just go with the crowd type they are the problem not the solution. I support drug free work and life solutions.
He was high during the interview lol!
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13:5 [KJV])
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27)
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)
i was vibing with this piece, kinda happy that weed is less stigmatized than before, until i realized the depth and depravity of The War On Drugs; to see people (usually darker than those shown) spend years in prison while others (who look like the people in the video) benefit from the legalization without undoing the harm dealt with communities with high drug use. its insane how appearances can change perceptions that fast
The gov & media support drug use b/c they get wealthier from dependency & addiction. Life is hard enough w/out being dependent on anyone/ anything to get through it & I’d rather be happy & free instead of miserably enslaved.
So much for *✨diversity✨*
i wanna get paid to smoke weed thats a dream job even rolling joints
If the government stopped trying to get their greedy little hands in it then the market would be able to thrive more. But no don’t ever steal, the government hates competition
If you think even the state governments are not after peoples guns! You better read this bill South Carolina bill S 0150, it requires a person to give up their second amendment rights to receive treatment with cannabis! But you are perfectly fine to go buy a pint of liquor and drive down the road with your fire arm in the cup holder! People are going about getting cannabis legal the wrong way, stop asking for them to make it legal and start demanding they outlaw alcohol since it to is so dangerous and watch how fast these alcoholics in control get cannabis legal with no strings attached!
I think the whole world should go back to the stone age. I’d like to see all these haircuts sitting around the fire hoping not to be noticed.
I am so glad that the work place is changing there views on weed so many people can benefit from cannabis
Cannabis is illegal.
im smoking illegal top shelf marijuana in Idaho right now while im watching this.
Yeah right, companies are desperate to findt non-pot smoking employees,
Please sign an amnesty for people who are still in jail for carrying small amounts of weed.
The legalization of marijuana should be regulated at federal level to protect children and teens. The news at the TV was about a teen smokes marijuana and passed out drooling. All the dispensaries around the country should be monitoring and check the content. How much they sell? The dispensary that sells the product to the kids, should be immediately close. A girl purchased a lollipop couldn’t close the mouth and dull until the effect pass away. Any adult providing kids with marijuana should go to jail. Human being should always have rules and regulations. Protect the people.
😊
BULL SHT…. Nothing has changed in the work place for most seeing if an employer does not like you and drug tests you you can be fired still… Its a massive problem… OMG YOU GOT A splinter we need to drug test you.. Oops you tested positive for cannabis we have to fire you now sorry your going to loose your vehical cus you cant afford the payment anylonger.. Sorry your going to loose your home cus you cant pay rent mortgage any longer seeing you no longer have income.. Sorry to hear you going home to blow your brains out because you no longer can afford to live… Sorry cannabis is still ILLEGAL so your life has to end because you tested positive after getting a spliter at work… Sorry corrupt politics caused your suicide……. Again corrupt politics with no souls… No souls because they sell them to the highest bidder…..

I see a lot increase in homelessness in the near future due to this.
It’s all fun and game until the addiction starts taking over your life.
That first timer is a pro now…
(⬆️⬆️name above)Hi, there. Thank you for sending my order (weed) out so quickly. I am very impressed with your service, you have kept me informed througout the whole process, and I will most definately be purchasing from you again. many thanks.
Its sad that something that is meant to be medicine for people that NEED it to improve their life is incredibly overpriced. It’s sad that one single product can cost up to $130 dollars in NY. They’re supposed to be helping people access medicine but instead rather squeeze peoples pockets as much as possible.
ALL part of the Trudope plan
The above name 👆👆helped in getting the best strains… thanks to those who recommended them.
Strange how within the last ten years how stores sell gummy bears and pills with hemp extract even now with weed made of hemp that’s legal. I hope Joe and others sign the bill but it’s the Republicans who oppose it . I heard people been buying stock in legal weed like crazy so perhaps they know it will pass .
yall hiring 🤣
Newsflash lady. Cannabis has been a culture for decades

Peor es la ciencia y la tecnología
Sello de mal uso tiene.
Por sus pendejadas
I don’t apply for jobs that drug test for weed or drug test at all lol no point in suffering without my legal medication for no reason. If people can pop Xanax, sleeping meds, pain meds etc than I can smoke weed at home for pain 🤷♂️.
THIS WILL REMINDING A PERSON THAT REALLY HITS HARD THAT NEVER FORGETS ! SEEING THE 2 TOWERS THAT CRASHED DOWN AND CALAPS WITH TI MUCH CRAP INTO THE AIR ! ITS THE SAME WAY HAS THE TWO PEOPLE STANDING UP TO SEE IT HAPPENS WHEN THEY HAVEING PROBLEMS BREATHING AND HEADACHES IS THE SAME WAY , LET SEE YOU WARE WITHOUT THAT GAS MASK OR OXYGEN TANK IN THAT DUST OR SMELL LET SEE YOU CALAPE LIKE HAVEING A STROKE !
Are you hiring
Imagine being a person of color and having your life ruined for smoking or selling weed and now these Lilly white people are able to do it and make billions. Smdh Amerikkka so racist. Just like when people of color are on drugs they’re tossed on prison but white people are put in programs.
In Pennsylvania the pot smoking industry is a scam these idiots pay $250 for a permit for medical marijuana and anyone can get a permit when they pay not one person has been turned down just internal government robbery of the public. I just wonder how many of these people would want their bus driver or auto mechanic to be stoned while doing their job
there was a guy who was selling crack down at star bucks out side no one did nothing an your worry about weed ?
Legalize decriminalized regulate educate 💯💯💯💯
If they would only tell the full truth, they would go 10 miles. Let the ones who want to grow be insured by the bank, by doing it by the book(smoke free such as gummies or other options). "The goods" always come at a price
YOU GUYS NEED TO HELP LEGALIZE WEED FOR TRUCK DRIVERS, PILOTS AND ANY OTHERE JOB THAT DOES NOT ALLOW THE USE OF WEED. WE DON’T WANNA FLY A PLANE WITH A FEET UP ON THE DASH SPARKING UP A FAT BLUNT. WE WANNA GO HOME, EAT A SANDWICH, SMOKE A JOINT AND TAKE A NAP. THEN GO BACK TO WORK THE NEXT DAY SOBER TO DO YOU’RE HOURS
My local cannabis shop is hiring $20/hr.
If you can’t wait until the work day is done to get high then you have a problem. Most businesses won’t allow consumption of alcohol on the job so I see nothing wrong with prohibiting weed at work too.
Truck drivers watching this while doing a rail.
💯 We the People will always use our cannabis regardless! Or else the Constitution is not worth the hemp it was written on.
👆👆look up that handle, he ships swiftly, and he got shrooms, Dmt, lsd, mmda, psilocybin, chocolate bars, he’s got a lot.. 🍄 💊🍄🍫🔌…..
