    Texas medical shouldn’t count. It’s capped at hemp level thc and only for the most extreme of extreme cases.

    More Act is pasting in 2021

    Legalized pot won’t get rid of the black market unless you compete in price! In Massachusetts, it’s 3 times the price of the black market. Let marijuana sellers compete. That’d bring the price down. (unless they form a monopoly to keep prices high) When Mass. is selling a quarter oz. for $160 and you can get one on the street for $50, where do you think everyone is going to go?

    This is a worthless half measure 90% of the state’s say Medical Only… in other words essentially become a felon so that you can smoke medical… if you’re not aware you can’t possess a medical card, and still own and purchase a firearm. It’s really complicated so look it up if you’re curious, unless HR 420 passes or has already passed you can’t own a firearm or buy one legally with a medical card.



  5. @stephanierichey1747 on March 15, 2024 at 6:37 am

    That would be awesome



  6. @CrayLuv on March 15, 2024 at 6:37 am

    If it doesnt make i through the Senate it will be because of the Republicans for the most part.



  7. @yandimorffi9820 on March 15, 2024 at 6:42 am

  8. @robinsss on March 15, 2024 at 6:45 am

  9. @felonmastermason6073 on March 15, 2024 at 6:45 am

    I like to receive my get out of jail free card before I do the jail time Kamala Harris not after



  10. @Fastbreak27 on March 15, 2024 at 6:46 am

    I’m conservative in most political issues but this bill needs to pass. It shouldn’t be illegal. I haven’t used it in probably 6-7 years and wouldn’t use it if legalized but everyone should have that choice.



  11. @hidingmylaugh on March 15, 2024 at 6:46 am

    cannabis legalization. for Obama Care!



  12. @rmy1566 on March 15, 2024 at 6:46 am

    AZ medical mj cost are so high I had to quit in order to try and get back my pain medication that work’s just as well but nearly outlawed by the DEA’S crackdown. Mj law should have been passed 10 year’s ago now I can careless.



  13. @dlbJenks on March 15, 2024 at 6:46 am

    So again the ruling class CCP "Leaders" in Washington does NOT give us the more act. Both sides are to blame.



  14. @alejandrotobienne584 on March 15, 2024 at 6:49 am

    BRO IF YOU ALL DONT REALIZE THE BENEFITS OF CLOTHING FUEL PRODUCTS. ITS INSANE. WE COULD LITERALLY CHANGE AMERICA WITH THIS PANDEMIC.



  15. @Mario.Espinozama on March 15, 2024 at 6:49 am

    Please make it as tobacco and liquor where employers can’t do anything to you



  16. @stonerman15 on March 15, 2024 at 6:50 am

  17. @91jmurda on March 15, 2024 at 6:51 am

    I’m not a criminal we need legalize marijuana we the American people over half of us want this



  18. @billyfricks6967 on March 15, 2024 at 6:52 am

    Make it legal and it would take it off the streets and make people be able to work lot more



  19. @thelakeman5207 on March 15, 2024 at 6:55 am

    NO REPARATIONS! It was illegal, you broke the law. I can see erasing your record, that’s it! Any monetary reparations, no way.



  20. @jackl7731 on March 15, 2024 at 6:58 am

    That’s decriminalized all drugs



  21. @emc8481 on March 15, 2024 at 7:02 am

  22. @ryankester9387 on March 15, 2024 at 7:03 am

    If we get another stimulus check I’m spending it all on weed… legal or not



  23. @chrisparker6483 on March 15, 2024 at 7:05 am

    This would be great but my state of indiana will never go for it 😞



  24. @yogavnture1 on March 15, 2024 at 7:07 am

    look at all the call names of the stoners below. if we got them all into a room together the energy would be very dull and numb but that’s what weed does to you over time makes you dull and numb . get a job!



  25. @liftedmoonlight1692 on March 15, 2024 at 7:07 am

    Legalize the whole United States!
    Cannabis has more pros than cons!
    Its beneficial to everyone!
    Its what the NATION WANTS.



  26. @mattnichols6932 on March 15, 2024 at 7:09 am

    Race has nothing to do with unjust laws. Stop bating for votes.



  27. @SpongeAddict-gw6mo on March 15, 2024 at 7:10 am

    Bottom line legalize it everywhere it’s not about whether you like it or not we need money everywhere EMTs have run out of their money 911 is oversaturated well Disney closed all it’s hotels more and more workers are being laid off we need more jobs just freaking legalize it!!!!



  28. @yogavnture1 on March 15, 2024 at 7:11 am

    look at all the funny you tube names of the commenters. you can see we are dealing with a bunch of addicts. nobody cares you want to smoke weed. we the other half of society that work clean from drugs. don’t want to pay for your habit.



  29. @mc-p303king6 on March 15, 2024 at 7:11 am

  30. @youngbirdmen420 on March 15, 2024 at 7:11 am

    Soo would cdl holders get to smoke weed legally if bill passes?



  31. @DavidTaylor-qd3wn on March 15, 2024 at 7:12 am

    So many states get to participate in the legal weed industry while the rest of us don’t get the same opportunities. It’s complete B.S.!!!!!!



  32. @archangelspardathadon9188 on March 15, 2024 at 7:13 am

    The U.N. has help end this Nixon racist law that allow only white people to smoke cannabis on there private property or trailers.



  33. @yogavnture1 on March 15, 2024 at 7:13 am

    i think all the posts here are from people who don’t want to work and are sitting in moms basement taking bong hits



  34. @yogavnture1 on March 15, 2024 at 7:14 am

  39. @daddyguy29 on March 15, 2024 at 7:20 am

    its time to legalize it again. it never should have been illegal. our founding fathers grew cannabis.



  40. @IMArtisanX on March 15, 2024 at 7:22 am

    Hey Man, is this that "Green New Deal" that the Dems are all talkin’ ’bout? That’s Far Out, Man!
    I’d take a cella bri, celer ba, um… I’d take a freakin’ toke if I remembered where I put my stuff!!
    …oh, yeah… MAN!



  41. @archangelspardathadon9188 on March 15, 2024 at 7:22 am

    Maryland will be the only racist state left keeping cannabis illegal



  42. @GamerDaSkater on March 15, 2024 at 7:23 am

  47. @yogavnture1 on March 15, 2024 at 7:27 am

  48. @juiceyjones on March 15, 2024 at 7:28 am

    im glad people are supporting but plenty of all people have been in prison over weed im just over hearing about one race u don’t realize how racisit that is an one hate for the other is no change only plants seeds of war America is one nation under god with all of us united anything less is a mayjor loss for the world



  49. @wertiadreams7949 on March 15, 2024 at 7:30 am

    I have to read through hundreds of bill revisions and overturns on the congressial gov website official to find out the status. All I find these days are expansion to rehabilitation centers. Getting a felony shouldnt restrict your natural freedoms if the vast majority of the population and house agree it’s a stupid Law. Of course only lobbyists seem to knows what’s best for our nation and more then willing to do whatever it tastes through political power games to fund the prison industrial complex



  50. @brittdavid8591 on March 15, 2024 at 7:31 am

    republicans don’t want people to know they smoke cannabis too or someone they know
