Jessie Ventura, you da Man! 🎉👍🏽
Anyone who wants pot …can get it VERY EASILY ….I hope we use the tax revenue wisely..
Well done 👍
Are they going to DRUG TEST TEACHERS? THEY DO NOT NOW. WHO KNOWS WHAT TEACHERS ON? BUT THEN AGAIN THEY ARE THE DFL’S BIGGEST SUPPORTERS. THOSE "EDUCATION MINNESOTA" COMMERCIALS ARE NOT FOR A NON-PROFIT. THOSE ARE THE TEACHER’S UNION COMMERCIALS!!!
DO YOU KNOW DRUG ADDICTS ONLY HAVE TO DECLARE THEMSELVES ADDICTS AND THEY CAN GET THEIR EMPLOYERS PAY FOR THEIR ADICTION TREATMENTS AND CANNOT BE FIRED??????????????????
"Not on my watch" Fmr. Gov. Dayton and it did not pass. Pot is a gateway drug! The Democrats want to be drug dealers because they know these strung out fools will never vote against them!?!? These are the same Democrats who are against menthol cigarettes!?!? WEED WILL LEAD TO MORE ACCIDENTS, VIOLENCE, ETC.. CALIFORNIA HAS SEEN A HUGE SPIKE IN CRIME. DRUG GROWERS ARE GROWING ON PUBLIC LAND IN CA WITH BOBBY TRAPS!!
well, in life you’re going to get addicted to something, even workaholic, so everlasting life should go with it
I love the non smoking law. You can get absolutely pulverized on concentrate, but don’t you dare smoke that little join you got 😂
❤
The only thing that marijuana is a gateway to is extensive munchies
God is perfect man is not 😊! Man made alcohol, God made pot.
420 yeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
All these mass shootings, Republicans say we shouldn’t take away assault weapons because we shouldn’t punish responsible gun owners. But we should punish responsible cannabis owners just because someone else may make a bad, tragic decision to take other harmful drugs? Hypocrisy at its finest
The gate way drug is alcohol.😮
Marijuana is a plant 😊
HELL YEAH!!! It’s medicine!!!
Yesssir
REALLY STUPID TO SIGN OFF ON THIS – TYPICAL OF GOV WALZ AND MAYOR FRYE – THEY BOTH NEED TO BE REPLACED. FIRST THEY AUTHORIZE PRAYER OVER A LOUD SPEAKER 5 TIMES A DAY IN DOWNTOWN MPLS. I AM SURE THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE DOWN THERE WILL LOVE THAT – ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE CHRISTIAN…..THEN YOU HAVE THE LESBIANS AND ALLOWING PEOPLE TO GO TO MPLS FOR TRANSGENDER CHANGES…..NOW THEY ARE ALLOWING EVERYONE TO SMOKE MARIJUANA…..LETS NOT FORGET THE $19 BILLION DOLLARS WALZ IS HOLDING ONTO – TAXPAYERS MONEY. HE WOULD RATHER SPEND IT WASTEFULLY THEN RETURN IT TO THE RESIDENTS OF MINNESOTA. HOLDING IT FOR THREE YEARS NOW…..AND HE SAYS A BIG $275 REBATE??? HOW THOUGHTFUL. WHILE HE KEEPS JACKING UP PROPERTY TAXES. PLANNING ON MOVING OUT OF THIS WASTEFUL STATE…….
Rep Dave baker, cannabis is not a gateway drug. Some people use cannabis to get off addictive opioids such as fentanyl for pain suppression. Cannabis should just be regulated the same way like alcohol. You have to be 21 to buy and must have a valid ID.
We should criminalize the sell of big macs because it’s a gateway drug to obesity, which kills more people than opioids. These gateway arguments are ridiculous.
Cannabis should be legal in UK 🇬🇧
If people would quit calling it a gateway drug it might stand a chance at proving them wrong about it. If it weren’t for the stigma surrounding it by people like that I wouldn’t have become addicted to Meth and I’d still have some teeth in mouth.
Wow .
poor ignorant man ,I feel sorry for your loss…pot was not your son’s problem at all…ever hear of fentanyl??..deadly. 😢
Maybe they could use some of that money to fix our damn roads. Land of 10,000 potholes.
Lean on your senators people
My 4 plants produced 7.5 Lbs last year alone!
Yeah…he lost his son to LEGAL PRESCRIPTION DRUGS…has nothing to do with Marijuana
Actually it’s friend and lovers who influence kids to use drugs because they’re using them
But thugs in my country put me in a cage for this. In a western country. It’s not fair.
Lost his son to opioids and blames cannabis.
This politicians Kid was a freaking pill junkie and he want to blame weed?! … As a politician he knows he’s at war with the wrong one need to take accountability and go after the pill daddy he passed bills for❤
Opioids and Cannabis aren’t the same thing not even close. Just because you tried Cannabis or use Cannabis don’t mean that you are going to go off on to new drugs. If someone wants to do drugs they going to do drugs they don’t need to have to try Cannabis first. People need to stop with that BS. Enough ppl have lost time in there lives for Cannabis it needs to stop. Vote Green on Friday LET’S GO! Lindsey Port
of course a republican uses his kids death to demonize something irrelevant.
8 plants huh? I’d never leave the house.
Gateway drug is nonsense! Cannabis helped me quit alcohol and nicotine.
Funny how the state of Minnesota sued tobacco companies over the cost to the state from smoking related illnesses! Now that they can get into the pot business they are all for smoking lol They need to add prostitution and they will be just like the MOB. Alcohol, Gambling, Drugs!
more addition more drugs people
My first drug was caffeine! What a gateway!!
Cannabis doesn’t kill….period period everything else man has touched kills period …
The youth feel pain after eating two large pizzas & a big bag of Red Ropes in under thirty minutes-
Your basically legalizing drug dealing! Why buy from dispensary when you can get two oz on the street for cheap. Watch….
Too much freedom is bad for business
Southern states would rather lock up black and brown people before making it legal
cannabis is not a gateway drug, if anything its the exact opposite. Ive been an alcoholic for 15 years and smoking cannabis helped me to stop drinking. No one has ever died from a cannabis overdose, while alcohol destroys your liver and kills millions worldwide every year.
WISCONSIN come on!!!
If ut kids struggling or dead bc of drugs and you’re a POLITICIAN….that’s poetic Justice baby❤🤠🇺🇲
Last year they legalized weed in Connecticut. And guess what? Now the normal folks have to deal with their idiocy. They think it being legal now means they can light up and smoke behind the wheel. That it’s OK to get totally fvcked up at public events and act like children, not giving a damn about their behavior or those it affects. Yea, there are drunks out there that do the same thing, but did we really need to double the gene pool? Now we have twice as many morons to deal with.
Marijuana is a dangerous drug that ruins lives
The guy saying this is going to lead kids to more dangerous things is severely misinformed, every heroin addict starts out drinking milk, does that make milk a gateway drug? F no…..drug dealers don’t ID dispensaries do, it’s time for all authorities to realize that it’s not their job to decide what people can put in their own bodies, alcohol kills more than any other drug out there yet it’s celebrated until someone becomes an alcoholic
Starting this summer, I’ll be riding my bicycle to all the US states with legal recreational cannabis. I’ll be more than happy to add MN to the Midwest section of the route!
Vcause another of pain,,, look what the government is doing with our kids… they have the right to say no, just as any other person.
Up the number with a medicinal. Grandfather clause.
1.5 lbs? 😬 That might be a problem.
