House poised to pass bill legalizing marijuana this week | Rush Hour

The House is poised to pass legislation this week that would legalize marijuana, just the latest example of the swiftly changing attitudes on drug laws that marks a near reversal from the Reagan-era “war on drugs” that also reverberated through the 1990s.

    It’s better than Xanax…

    Imagine the hypocrisy of Washington politicians that vote to keep marijuana illegal, then stopping by one of the many Washington D.C.’s legal marijuana dispensaries on the way home to pick up some chronic and some eatables. Let’s hope that the employees of Lobbyist posing as politicians vote to make weed legal.

    When will this go into action?



  8. Tom Simpson on July 1, 2022 at 11:40 am

    They just want to get money. Pot should have never neen made illegal



  9. Will Quick on July 1, 2022 at 11:42 am

    People with chronic pain understand the need for this to pass.



  13. Mr Anonymous on July 1, 2022 at 11:46 am

    All that shady ass talk in that news cast



  14. David C on July 1, 2022 at 11:47 am

    It’s just a plant, don’t kill it! Jah Rastafari!



  15. 421fan on July 1, 2022 at 11:48 am

    I believe weed doesn’t cause any harm at all. Just don’t drive after doing it.



  16. Diocletian Records on July 1, 2022 at 11:49 am

    Added to Cannabis Legalization playlist.



  17. Dude Why on July 1, 2022 at 11:49 am

    If we legalize this will do WONDERS for the economy, the prison population, not to mention the actual medicinal benefits!



  18. Gibby on July 1, 2022 at 11:51 am

    Now on to the Senate where all good bills go to die…….the senate will not pass this unfortunately……..lobbyists have been scrambling to make sure it doesn’t………campaign $ is what’s keeping it from passing…….not because it’s right or wrong…….I say they should name all the no votes so they can be voted out……



  19. James Runions on July 1, 2022 at 11:51 am

    If more than 60% of the people are in favor of something. why don’t they get it. That’s not democracy. That’s dictatorship. I have never talked to anyone that said they don’t support the more act. Even the old church people say it should be legalized. It’s just a flower. You can grow Afghan white poppies. But you can’t grow a pot plant. I believe it’s because small town police departments will go under if they can’t arrest you for possession of marijuana.



  20. Zeek M on July 1, 2022 at 11:54 am

    Watch how the media scum presume to speak for the government and the people.
    They don’t realize they’ve been unplugged.



  21. Dave on July 1, 2022 at 11:55 am

    Democrats will never again be able to say they support it but can’t get Republicans on board. Democrats have both houses of Congress and potato head Joe Biden. It would be there only accomplishment in power. Still not worth the damage Democrats have caused.



  22. TURNOFCROSSS Playonxbox on July 1, 2022 at 11:59 am

    It’s not a drug it’s cannabis not marijuana



  23. 2Bit Dreamer on July 1, 2022 at 11:59 am

    Tomato tamato potatoe patatoe blow weed smoke like there’s no tomorrow.



  24. Arnezz Hughes on July 1, 2022 at 11:59 am

    Alcohol is a deadly poisonous drug; not to mention sugar, and cigarettes, along with all types of processed foods. The biased hype over cannabis is astonishing, or maybe not; under the circumstances regarding big pharma. I truly believe cannabis does not get you high, instead it raises your height of awareness.



  25. Mountain Bike Addict on July 1, 2022 at 11:59 am

    YES! DO IT DO IT DO IT



  26. M. RICH on July 1, 2022 at 12:02 pm

    It’s a plant not a drug !!!!!!!!!!! Medicine for the people



  27. Elevated Emotions on July 1, 2022 at 12:02 pm

    November mid-terms



  28. Scott Gecias on July 1, 2022 at 12:02 pm

    Legalize it



  29. Galaxy Infinity on July 1, 2022 at 12:02 pm

    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



  30. DFini in on July 1, 2022 at 12:03 pm

    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.



  31. loaded fun on July 1, 2022 at 12:07 pm

    Legalize it!

    Legislation should have happened decades ago. American the land of the free right. This war on weed is stupid.

    A "cultural shift" isn’t always forward

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

    I tried alcohol; and smoked cigarettes
    Though, they did nothing, but give me regrets.
    My mom had arthritis and couldn’t walk around
    When I rolled her a joint, she danced on the ground.

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

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

    I dug up the ground and sowed all my seeds
    Then said a small prayer for strong, healthy weeds.
    I watered at night with a five-gallon pail
    The 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 my camouflage suit
    And used a corn knife to chop down the loot.

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

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

    THANK YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE IN YOUR HEART !

    Just do it! ❤️



  42. TURNOFCROSSS Playonxbox on July 1, 2022 at 12:17 pm

    Legalize it and tax it and free the people from jail



  43. Brad Tatum on July 1, 2022 at 12:18 pm

    We don’t need legalization there’s plenty of that and it’s all a big money thing… We want decriminalization!!!!



  44. Donna Little on July 1, 2022 at 12:20 pm

    Imagine everyone high so they don’t pay attention to Washington keeping you high until you DIE!



  45. Fred Dobbs on July 1, 2022 at 12:23 pm

    Aldous Huxley in his novel Brave New World described the use of a psychotropic drugs for mass control of a subservient population. He saw the future of America under a Demo regime.



  46. Walter Lopez on July 1, 2022 at 12:25 pm

    Why yall gotta do this so close to April Fools. Stop Playing!



  47. Bigtimefire Breather on July 1, 2022 at 12:27 pm

    Republican senators..read these comments.😕



  48. LetArtsLive on July 1, 2022 at 12:30 pm

    I care about this cause and I signed the letter from normal and sent it to my representative I don’t think they care though about the healing properties of the plant or anything like that they really care about the money though so I have hope this will go through cuz it’s all about the money people don’t care about people



  49. Brandon Plank on July 1, 2022 at 12:31 pm

    Anything that can be pulled from the ground and smoked should be legal. Anything needing manufacturing should remain illegal



  50. Hal 9000 on July 1, 2022 at 12:31 pm

    Look at who supports it & realize the gov & media don’t give a crap about anyone’s best interest. No one can cope with life & problems w/drugs. The gov enabling people to use, become dependent & not cope w/out drugs, guarantees the pain, suffering & death will only get worse.
