    As long as the US profit with taxes they are fine with it. All them dealers arrested for nothing.

    My god….how can someone believe anything that you all say after starting off your segment with bad info? Not all those green states have been rec legal since 2012, a lot of them havent been med since 2012. Who even still watches this shit?

    If it’s coming from a good source and high quality, I would go for it instead prescription drugs that kill

    That’s false. Recreational cannabis won in South Dakota. The legislature just refused to acknowledge the vote and claimed the amendment was invalid because of some obscure rule about state constitutional amendments. Ironic because they acknowledged the first half of the amendment which addressed the right to medical access but refused to allow the second part which was recreational

    Society is crazy today, i NEED to get high, just to collect my thoughts in this crazy world. Cause what i truly believe everything we do now dont benefit our future for our species it only benefit their game and the system they trying to update. Wake the fuck up! Seriously! We need to evolve. If you think LIFE IS ALL ABOUT WORKING 9-5 AND FIGHTING OUR "OWN SPECIES" YOU ARE WRONG. Theres more to life. We just need to get it out of THEM. The secret to HUMAN survival is lock up somewhere in some govt facility. We need to ask for a full disclosure. Not just pieces. Our earth literally dying. And we are here just fighting. Why????



  22. Matthew Chang on April 28, 2023 at 7:41 am

  26. Gametastic on April 28, 2023 at 7:45 am

  28. Michael Malloy on April 28, 2023 at 7:50 am

    You got people sitting in jail for selling marijuana because they did it illegally hello?? Not legally not that that makes it right just because it’s legalized it will never be right that stuff is toxic to our nation it always has been and now they’re making it easy this nation is in trouble and in need of Jesus Christ



  29. Bike Life on April 28, 2023 at 7:54 am

    The fact Don squeezed 17 years out of that place is astounding. Who likes the guy ? I’ve never met anyone.

  35. Cannabinerd on April 28, 2023 at 7:59 am

  43. UBC2 on April 28, 2023 at 8:06 am

    Legalize it already! Alcohol, vapes and cigarettes should be banned asap. All MJ charges wiped clean and do away with weed stigma



  44. Michael Malloy on April 28, 2023 at 8:07 am

    I can’t believe what I’m seeing and hearing on this newscast these people are praising marijuana and talking about it like as if it is cool or good but it is the most wicked thing that has happened to this country to legalize it is like National Suicide while our government profits from it



  45. Mental Programing on April 28, 2023 at 8:07 am

    because people have become softer and more sensitive and need to be high just to cope with existing.. all the government has to do is lace the weed and everyone that smokes weed is done for.. sad part is weed is better than alcohol



  46. APOGEE KING CAPITAL on April 28, 2023 at 8:09 am

    The Russian and Chinese cartels are competing with the Mexican cartels to grow and supply the USA drugs within our own borders. America is going down into a hell hole



  47. Kelly on April 28, 2023 at 8:10 am

    It’s way better than popping pharmaceuticals!



  48. Kathy Jensen on April 28, 2023 at 8:10 am

    I smoke marijuana then eat chocolate . 😊



  49. Michael Malloy on April 28, 2023 at 8:11 am

    I bet this news network and its cast will be smoking marijuana before too long the way they’re talking about it in this segment they might as well



  50. Pedro Jim on April 28, 2023 at 8:12 am
