America is slowly edging toward a more liberal attitude toward cannabis, so we wanted to discuss how states are approaching the thorny problem and get into the weeds of the cannabis debate

im in Texas and everyone from our horrible 2 us senators to our governor have absolutely no intention legalizing it. one of our us senators is 70 and literally said it legalizing it would make the opioid overdoses skyrocket. old folks man.
4/20 its the funny number
I love the way Brits pronounce schedule.
If you are skeptical of the benefits to society of legalizing marijuana, could you please reply to this comment to share your reasoning why you’d be against it? I would really like to hear your opinion.

All marijuana legalization in the world
Full Legalization & cultivation of Marijuana in the USA 🇺🇸
Pure click bait.
Keep it illegal it destroys people’s motivation and lowers their iq
*POT SMOKERS, AFTER CANNABIS IS LEGALISED:* Well I guess I’m doing crack now.
This video is coming from the perspective of a Texas guy where weed is ilegal like crack
I’m a federalist on this issue. The question of marijuana should not be up to the federal government it should be a state’s rights issue. California wants to legalize marijuana then so be it but if the state of Idaho does not want to legalize it then that should be their right. We should not be forcing states to accept marijuana if they don’t want to.
I don’t understand how DC can have it recreational but it’s still a schedule 1 federally…
The fact that state and federal laws can contradict each other is retarded.
You forgot to highlight Connecticut when mentioning states that legalized recreational cannabis.
Marijuana is completely legal in Canada.
Im glad Alabama finally got on the bandwagon and let go of the old 30’s propaganda insanity
So will they ligalize it or what?
Truthfully they should legalize cannabis completely across the United States start growing the hell out of it cuz you can make anything from Cannabis almost and then base our currency on it because of petrol dollars about the collapse
House Democrats voted in favor of legalizing weed, The Senate needs to approve and POTUS needs to sign it.
I certainly hope not
I don’t understand drug users
Americans got psy-op’d by the elites and owners of the interconnected businesses of the prison system. Prison owners literally MAKE MONEY off of how many people they can fill. Its rigged. Its always been rigged. The working class are cattle to be stuck and bled dry. This is why the general perception of the justice system has turned to one of "you’re guilty until you can prove your innocence".
The raegan and nixon administrations, let alone the individuals themselves, did so much more damage to this country than people fully realize. They literally sold out the american people, black working class to be specific in most cases, to line their pockets.
Its not enough to have a distaste for neo-liberal capitalism. You have to actively disdain it, in order to fully realize what it has become, and it has done to western society.
Cough medicine is schedule 5?! The notion that there is a low risk of abusing cough syrup is complete bullshit. Look at all the people sipping what they call "lean" every day. The US government really is unbelievably fucking stupid.
Oh Amsterdam is banning tourists from buying weed because that would ‘help’ regulation and these tourists will of course not go to dealers now which may sell synthetic weed…. We started off great but legalization is far away in The Netherlands….
I live in a state that made it legal. Crime went down, taxes went up, and the overall mood of the state improved slightly.
All narcotics should decriminalize all drugs and legalize weed and psilocybin. Then defund the police (since it doesn’t need to make as many arrests) and divert funding to healthcare and public safety. Making drugs a crime issue instead of a health issue has killed thousands
The first step was really when Oregon decriminalized it in ’73.
I live in Oregon, where it’s legal, and we haven’t all bursted into flames yet
Why is marijuana illegal? Like, I don’t understand why.
Marijuana possession should definitely be decriminalized. It’s silly to do jail time for having a few grams of a dried up plant in your pocket that, while I would definitely not recommend smoking, isn’t going to kill you. The sale of marijuana for recreational usage by non-licensed individuals should be criminal however. The only way to clean up this country is to fix the people’s diet (strict laws should be enacted on what ingredients are allowed in foods), what they see on TV (no more degeneracy and violence), and fix how people escape reality (favor pursuit of tradition, family values, and religion if one chooses over hedonistic pleasures like drugs and alcohol). Do this and in just a generation you will see a return to something that resembles a normal society unlike the miserable drugged-up open-air mental asylum we call the modern United States.
Currently, marijuana is allowed (to some extent) in 33 states — five more would be enough majority to amend the federal Constitution itself. Regardless of your opinion, it seems the writing is on the wall….
If you’re going to talk about US stop saying shedule
I’m for it if it’s kept behind closed doors (actually might want to leave a door open) and to their own social functions (if they want to socialise).
But does a problem lie in more people taking up this dirty unhealthy habit and becoming pot heads.
I love how we can go to any point in US history and find the 10th amendment always being tested like mad.
Mississippi Supreme Court overturned our vote so it’s not legal here medically
The US is much more liberal about weed than europe.
The federal government should stay away from marijuana legislation. Let each state make their own decisions. People from different states are entitled to their own opinions.
The precedent that the federal government can regulate intrastate commerce should be thrown out; it was made after FDR blackmailed SCOTUS (they had previously said otherwise before being blackmailed)
The Scientist Medical Marijuana: Studying For a Higher PurposeProf. Dr. Raphael Mechoulam
Tobacco and alcohol is arguably worse that marijuana is alcohol definitely causes more problems in America than marijuana does
I hope not! Where would be the fun of smoking if it was legal?!? 🙄🙄🙄
I guess I’ll just move on to crack.
Make it legal. Simple as.
Can’t dispensaries use crypto …
It’s sad to me how much disinformation still floats around about this. The disinformation about marijuana has done more damage than the marijuana ever could
As a Canadian? All I can do is look on with sadness about how long it takes to defeat a handful of crusty old f*cks who still don’t and will probably never get it… LEGALIZE IT ALREADY!
Should’ve been legal longgggg ago
The federal government really just needs to back the fuck off and mind their own business. I have CDL and only smoked at home at the end of the day. But I was treated like a outcast. Mean while we have people who can’t even do their job correctly that are allowed to smoke. Tired of these double standards
I don’t understand why people wanna make this stuff legal…It’s practically killing yourself. I went onto the CDC website and looked at what it says, the stuff is terrible for you. It harms your lungs, it has the same cancer causing chemicals as tobacco, it can impede brain function, it increases the chance of heart attacks and strokes, can cause severe depression to the point of suicidal thoughts, and more.
This stuff kills people. Everyone who uses it has a 10% chance of addiction, and it can ruin the lives of those who are addicted, as they cannot stop even if it is harming aspects of their life. It should not be treated as a felony, It should be treated as a medical issue. People who get addicted should get medical care, and we should fine those who use it, but aren’t addicted. Fines are much better than prison sentences. It brings in income for the government and doesn’t defeat the purpose of having it be illegal. The goal is to have people not ruin their lives, imprisoning them does what we are seeking to prevent.
>weed
>links to aggression
lol wut
As of July 2021, my home state of Connecticut legalized recreational usage too 🙂 we’re still yellow on your map at the beginning!
