House Expected To Pass Bill On Marijuana Legalization

    The governor here kills 3,500 people in nursing homes during the pandemic, no arrest is made yet. Two months ago a 51 year old man gets sentenced to five years in prison for growing 100 pot plants. The local media covers this up. In 2018 they killed a man with a bulldozer over 10 plants. The state loves to abuse and oppress the poor while awarding the rich for the same thing.

    Could definetely be considered a cash crop for the country if they legalize it and start exporting it.

    LEGALIZE AND DECRIMINALIZE NATION WIDE ( TEXAS ✌)



  4. redacez on May 22, 2022 at 8:33 am

    its not gonna get rid of illegal markets with an increased tax of 8% added on top of the near 30% depending on the dispensary I know people who think the current taxes are too high and only go to disposos on 420 otherwise they have a illegal plug more taxes higher prices will only increase demand for the illegal market.



  5. Four-Plex Forever on May 22, 2022 at 8:33 am

    What date is the senate scheduled to vote on this? (FYI) if it isn’t scheduled to be voted on yet it may as well not even exist!

    If Biden wants reelection…..



  8. esiquio garza on May 22, 2022 at 8:45 am

    is anyone questioning why that bill is 500 pages what other bills are hiding in there. they do not read the whole thing. I heard from a very reliable person that their coming after our guns if this bill passes



  9. Luis Contreras on May 22, 2022 at 8:46 am

    And then the Senate will reject it….nothing to see here…



  10. Jonathan Barnes on May 22, 2022 at 8:48 am

    Yea, right April fools joke.



  11. Tony on May 22, 2022 at 8:48 am

    *plays snoop dogg in the background



  12. Deezyd on May 22, 2022 at 8:50 am

    Hhaha it’s not going to happen just another out of the dozens failed attempt to legalizing. with big news like this you’d expect more headline news about marijuana prohibition but the media won’t put it out there not one video on YouTube about legalizing has more than 100k views. They will never admit that legalizing marijuana will take a big hit on the pharmaceutical industry so they will continue to stall it as long as they can.



  13. raineman on May 22, 2022 at 8:51 am

    Senate won’t pass it. It would devastate the drug cartels… Can’t have that now.



  14. Marky on May 22, 2022 at 8:51 am

    Please sign an amnesty for people who are still in jail for carrying small amounts of weed.



  15. MLC on May 22, 2022 at 8:55 am

    Too good to be true. Republicans want people on drugs. These ppl vote no on weed and then go home and smoke it and laugh about how they are better than us.



  16. Four-Plex Forever on May 22, 2022 at 8:56 am

    Is this some kind of April fools joke? They ALREADY passed it!
    Check out this video posted 3 months ago in JANUARY!
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqet-wVkBoA voting results (passed) video mentions it at around 12:10
    WTF?



  17. Harrison Reuffer on May 22, 2022 at 8:57 am

    Dude Doordash is gonna be poppin💯



  18. Jonny Ogden on May 22, 2022 at 8:57 am

  21. Axle Grind on May 22, 2022 at 9:04 am

    president jimmie carter wanted to decriminalize mary jane and he might live long enough to see it done.



  22. Calvin Duke on May 22, 2022 at 9:04 am

  23. AKA Kdog on May 22, 2022 at 9:05 am

    It going up like gas prices in California and those grubby hands upon it they should legalize it but leave it still by the state for they dummer then dog dhit on the ground and bad minds and few good minds at the great dungheap of the capital hill zoo



  24. Joseph Joseph on May 22, 2022 at 9:05 am

    Thirteen men died after going to the Allegheny County Jail. Here are their stories
    The state tried to do the same to me over petty marijuana charges where nobody could hear me scream in their prison but they failed. The state covers this up while pushing legal weed mmj cards.

    Genesis 1:29
    ”And the Lord said, "Here, I have given you every plant whose seed can be sown which is upon the face of all the earth,
    and every tree which has the fruit whose seed can be sown,
    for you it shall be to eat.”



  26. Donna Little on May 22, 2022 at 9:06 am

    Their NOT doing this for you but for them.



  27. LClay Reed on May 22, 2022 at 9:06 am

    It already passed the house, fix your headline.



  28. It’s Ya Boy Steve on May 22, 2022 at 9:07 am

    I’ve had 15 kidney surgeries and majijuana helps me so much. I got caught smoking and they gave me a felony for it…. I don’t want to take Xanax for my ptsd it doesn’t work…



  29. Slowbro on May 22, 2022 at 9:09 am

    Marijuana never should have been illegal. Its illegality has been nothing more than a tool to oppress and profit from the misfortune of those found in posession of it. There is money to be made by keeping it illegal from so many grouos



  30. Saber SMAW on May 22, 2022 at 9:09 am

    They allow tobacco which has killed millions and yet call a plant a drug when it is just like tobacco which is a plant but tobacco has added stuff to it by the companies to keep you addicted to it, as where marijuana is just a plant that is grown and harvested and has more benefits then those social security commercials u see on TV.
    Plus the taxes alone could help states in so many ways, and the drug cartels would loose BILLIONS of $$ due to legal Marijuana!



  31. Lg.Kap0 on May 22, 2022 at 9:09 am

    We need this fr for 2 grams u can get 1 year to 180 days in jail..

  32. maurice riley on May 22, 2022 at 9:10 am

    Decriminalize marijuana and legalize marijuana are two different legal goals. The first goal is to eliminate possession laws so you don’t go to jail for having some weed. Letting prisoners out of jail and expunging their arrest record so they can get a job would be a part of decriminalizing cannabis. Legalizing marijuana laws should be up to the states to decide how much cannabis is going to be sold and who gets to grow it and how much you get to possess.



  33. Keith Canfield on May 22, 2022 at 9:10 am

    About time! I love herb such a beautiful medicine. I know been smoking and eating for 23 years don’t know what I would do without it.



  34. Junior Garcia on May 22, 2022 at 9:11 am

    Legalize it !



  35. Billy Fricks on May 22, 2022 at 9:12 am

    Yes



  36. beach side on May 22, 2022 at 9:12 am

    I guess you cant grow a plant or two tho. It has to be taxed. Too bad they cant just say its legalized and thats it



  37. Holy Gho$t on May 22, 2022 at 9:13 am


  38. Cookie Blue on May 22, 2022 at 9:14 am

    HAHAHAHAHAHA, NORTHEN AMELICA SICK MEN



  39. DFini in on May 22, 2022 at 9:14 am

    Senate gets voted in every 6 years, guess what, this November they get elected or re-elected. Do NOT vote for any republicans in the senate this November as they are the ones holding the legalization.



  40. chris epicer on May 22, 2022 at 9:18 am

    its april fools



  41. Asia Jannea on May 22, 2022 at 9:19 am

    Okay!!!! Yes



  42. Sancho on May 22, 2022 at 9:20 am

    So what do y’all think will happen with jobs drug testing for marijuana?



  43. Derek Smith on May 22, 2022 at 9:21 am

    They the government does not work for us.



  44. LClay Reed on May 22, 2022 at 9:21 am

    Load up on cannabis stocks! CGC, TLRY, CRON… 💸 💰 🤑



  45. jim b 15122 on May 22, 2022 at 9:23 am

    This is going to be good for the country. Here is the math:
    Higher drug dependency = higher lack of responsibility = more dependency on government = propensity toward socialism. BUT THESE PEOPLE WILL NOT BE MOTIVATED TO VOTE BECAUSE THE DRUGS REMOVE ALL SENSE OF URGENCY.



  46. Wayland Jennings on May 22, 2022 at 9:25 am

    Nobody is going to buy taxed weed.



  47. sandi lobianco on May 22, 2022 at 9:26 am

    This will help lower the National IQ even more.

    TOM ZART’S POT FARMER SONG 2022 $$
    I got out my pipe stuffed it with pot
    You better believe it held a whole lot.
    I whipped out a lighter thumbed up a flame
    Sucked down that smoke which comforts my brain.

    I tried alcohol smoked cigarettes
    They did nothing but give me regrets.
    My mom had arthritis could not walk around
    I rolled her a joint she danced on the ground.

    I thought I was losing my lovemaking knack
    After I smoked some to me it came back.
    Soon I decided prices were high
    I searched for some ground I wouldn’t have to buy.

    I bargained for seeds from smokers all around
    Got in my truck and drove out of town.
    I walked through the woods where wild birds nest
    Found me the meadow I thought was the best.

    I dug up the ground sowed all my seeds
    Said a small prayer for strong, healthy weeds.
    I watered at night with a five-gallon pail
    Mosquitoes went hungry for I wore a veil.

    Seven months went by; I thought I would die
    Till the Halloween moon was high in the sky.
    At night I went out, in a camouflage suit
    Used my corn knife to chop down the loot.

    I hung it up to dry where it couldn’t be found.
    Came back and got it, when it had turned brown.
    I trimmed off the buds, stuffed them in bags
    Called all my friends and passed out free drags.

    In less than a week my crop was gone
    I flew to St. Thomas with a love hungry blonde!!

    It’s not any better than alcohol if not better cause in some sinces it helps with pain and health problems and it’s not any wores than having a beer after work and just think about this that beer and cigarets been around for a long time now we have drunks and people addicted to cigarets and they do more harm than weed like cancer and liver problems from drinking all the other drugs have killed more people weed should be legal and just treat like beer



  50. raineman on May 22, 2022 at 9:27 am

    Nobody can fill their workforce, they all test positive for weed.
