It’s just going to cost more it’s better off getting it on the streets anyway
Ya,I wish they would.i am wonder how that would effect CDL drivers
:55 that wasn’t Bob good
yes to this. Canada is doing just fine with the legalization of weed. We can do the same.
"legalizing drugs" "getting America high" yet hard liquor, cigarettes, deadly prescription drugs, giant monster trucks, limitless guns & live ammo, bombs & nukes are legal etc etc. Hah ok. "They’re gonna use tax payer dollar to fund the marijuana industry!" Yet billions of tax payers dollar goes to private prisons & police funding to jail those for marijuana plant "offenses". Nothing is more Murican!
I’m conservative and I’m for it. There are a lot of conservatives but actually are for it. In fact I’m willing to say that they lied about being dangerous for ulterior reasons. From what I understand it was completely safe in the seventies and that were no reason for it being banned they just did it. I can think the only reason they would do that is because of pharmaceutical companies you can’t have something that works then you’re taking money out of their pockets. In the mindset of the pharmaceutical companies you can’t have something that’s healthy that works because they’re taken from their pocket. I think it was all just them trying to silence the benefits.
They’ll give meth pipes out with tax payers money but have a hard time making weed legal?
Y’all B’s drug stores all around the world sell everyday off tax ppl money and they cause the most addiction
The fact that he calls something that isn’t processed a drug meanwhile alcohol needs to be fermented and rotted just blows my mind. You can bet you’re ass that guy drinks too
Pass it guys lets go
Im a conservative republican and I support legalization.
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
Just legalize it. It shouldn’t be this difficult.
I like the guy who claims marijuana marketing is using tax dollars. Something like 45% of marijuana sales is tax. Gave is making plenty of tax revenue off it, the real issue is big pharmaceutical companies are scared they’ll sell less Xanax n anti depression pills if weed is legal, and we can grow weed n the back yard. Meanwhile congress members have invested into benzos and big pharmaceutical so they wanna protect their investments
It’s legal here in Oregon with a few stupid exceptions-"illegal grows" & federal/military owned land which, includes a park in downtown (where 2 of us were threatened by 4 cops b/c someone smelled weed). Also, some are still uncool about pot.
Aoc sounds ignorant
the whiners are so stupid, the people who don’t wanna smoke it won’t have to, you’ll be fine, sit the fuck down 😆
AOC is as dull as an unleaded mechanical pencil, but this should be legalized. Not sure why some Republicans are against it. It would be taxed like anything else. Alcohol is far more dangerous than marijuana. Seems like some AA people in the senate are scared for nothing.
BY THE WAY AS LONG AS THEY HAVE YOU HIGH AND DRUNK THEY CAN LIE TO YOU ABOUT ANYTHING AND GET AWAY WITH PASSING LAWS AND YOU WONT KNOW WHAT HIT YOU
I know a lot of republicans who smoke it’s a lot safer than alcohol
The war on drugs targeted white people too.
As if tobacco has any value to society. It’s the most unhealthy shit you can put in your body, yet you can get it the same place you buy your kids candy bars. Politicians are fuckin stupid
This is only One Issue that fully discloses why Americans should never allow the Republican Party to ever regain Control of America ever again. They are State Capitalists I.e., State Communists!!!
This is why We need to erratically Republicans out of every corner and crevices of US Policy Making!!!!
Wypeepos are just evil
Take to the streets and demand it be legal! This is long overdue. The war on drugs is bullshit.
The MORE act is set to raise a 5% tax for the first year and up to a 8% tax thereafter…the Senate CAO bill wants a 25% tax increase right away…and In negotiations this April thus the reason the MORE act is likely to fail. Not because they don’t want Cannabis to become Federally legal but because they want more larger amounts for their own pockets ☹️
"we are here today to vote to get America high" 😂😂 I’d vote
#FOX #Marijuana 420! #CurvyBeauty💋 #TEQUILA Mi Amor AMLO! #VivaMexico 🇲🇽 #VivaLaFrance 🇫🇷🗼❤️ Duh!

No thanks theres no damn reason that the bill is 4,000 pages instead of just legalizing it you have to make sure everyone knows that it’s a burn loot murder backed bill and is skewed in racism instead of just saying for years we screwed up we are sorry we are decriminalizing cannabis
This is what happened to the kids in my high school. That slept from being high through class. They now run the White House go figure.
Should’ve never been illegal to begin with
Will people be able to grow their own plants
I know those reporters finna be lit today😭
$40 grams of mid 😂😂
So state laws trumps federal laws how does that work
The fact that this is still subject to such naivety is a shame. Cannabis has the potential to save ourselves from runaway greenhouse gases, reinvent the textile industry, and heal us and we’re still making jokes about a near century old film with information just as outdated. Shame on those who vote against reason and logic.
What’s funny is this is still being debated LMAO I told everyone back on 2012 that it’d take another 20yrs for the Boomers who initiated the War on Drugs to die off before it would become legal. Too many Iran Contra ops going on, too much demand for a "boogeyman" to endlessly spend endlessly increasing taxes to "fight." 😂 Too easy for a single patrolman to go pick up $10K worth of fines everyday on private-use potheads in every town in Murica. Yuri was right, they’ve really eroded this entire nation through low morale and subversive tactics.
The GOP can lick my asshole
“Using American tax dollars to prop up the marijuana industry,” my guy what… if anything it would generate enormous tax revenue that’s idiotic
Ahah I more right but republicans playing to damn much stupid asl
Has anyone ever heard of prohabition? There’s a sucker born every minute! Oh, food can no longer be grown outside. Not even a weed! But, food can be grown inside! Opposed to weed. So, keep up the good work stoners. The feds will be coming soon. And, you’ll be growing at least 2 thirds food. At very cheap price. Opposed to 100 percent weed at a very steep price. Did you stoners really think you were gonna rule the world with weed?? OMG. Talk about being too high!! This is hilarious! Your a farmer now! And, will grow food. Or, simply have your property ceased and technology. And, or put completely out of farming business completely. Ah?! Prohabition law’s still exist. Idiots!
JOKE AND FACT….( #WEEDERAL #LEVEL )….HEAHAEAHEHEHEAHAH….LOL 🙃🙃🙃🙃 #WOKE #5D #MOREACT #POTERALLEVEL #CBDERALLEVEL #HEMPERALLEVEL #THCEDERALLEVEL
Any Republican that disagrees with this bill should be voted out, they are holding our country back.
Let me smoke
Come on senate lets do it,pass it
There isn’t anything wrong about weed in anyway, weed, weed, it helps out with my autism immensely
Need to hurry the gell up I’m jonesing like a mf n NC Republicans have an Iron Fist around weed laws here-This is only One Issue that fully discloses why Americans should never allow the Republican Party to ever regain Control of America ever again. They are State Capitalists I.e., State Communists!!!
This is why We need to erratically Republicans out of every corner and crevices of US Policy Making!!!!
STREETS WINS WEED AWARD!!! https://youtu.be/ywLt_xYZZlg
If pots legal. That would mean the DEA would have to chase real criminals for federal funding. As a former Government Agent, I must say, nothing is worse then having to actually earn your paycheck to these guys.
if the senate could somehow make this into law on 4/20, it will literally restore my faith in mankind.
