… Someone asking to legalize his business…
ITS THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND😅…EXCEPT ..YOU CAN SEE 😮
In Canada right now and Oz of good weed is about 80$ , For the clear oil jesse is talking about come in a little pen you can smoke or eat is is 48.99$ for some of the best oil you’ll ever smoke . All the USA needs this , The tax’s alone is enough to boost the economy outta the hole we are all in .
How can you tell when Jesse is lying? His lips are moving.
Minneshowda
I live in California where weed is legal. I suffer from tics (tourettes) and if i am sober I will start malfunctioning like a robot. I would be severley anxious. Cannabis saved my life 10000% i dont know why so many are so Anti-Cannabis. Cannabis should be LEGALIZED!!! God bless u Jesse V.
Cannabis is a plant that can be grown 🙌🏻
Love you gov
Good man!
Minneshoda
Jesse is the one person I’d support without a second thought for President. The fact the chronically ill get arrested all the time for using a plant that’s never killed anyone is ridiculous. People that are voting to keep it illegal should be ashamed of themselves.
Good bless you and your wife
Jesse V thank you sir
Same here in illinois… the body for pres 2024
I would have voted for you my former governor Mr. Ventura my parents voted for you you are the best governor us Minnesotans have ever seen congratulations best political figure of the 80’s and 90’s pro wrestling
Preach it Jesse! 🫶
I’m passionate simply because it controls my mood and its one plant but its thousands of different kinds of its own. Variety. Millions and millions of people are not wrong. TRUTH: Our only threat there has ever been is narcissistic governments and Tom Delong and not the newly accepted visitors/ orbs/ ufo’s .
Legalized but not for consumption in public.
Jesse for president!!!
Jesse ventura for president.
But Minnesota is a socialist state. Good luck
Most people who want weed legalized have absolutely no medical need. His wife is a justifiable reason to have medical marijuana which is legal and Jesse knows it. He is grandstanding as usual
_"“In strict medical terms marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume. For example, eating 10 raw potatoes can result in a toxic response. By comparison, it is physically impossible to eat enough marijuana to induce death. Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man."_
*- Francis Young (DEA Administrative Law Judge – 1988])*
_"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use…”_
*- Jimmy Carter (U.S.President)*
_“Congress should definitely consider decriminalizing possession of marijuana… We should concentrate on prosecuting the rapists and burglars who are a menace to society.”_
*- Dan Quayle (U.S. Representative & Vice President)*
_"Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could."_
_“The anti-marijuana campaign is a cancerous tissue of lies, undermining law enforcement, aggravating the drug problem, depriving the sick of needed help and suckering well intentioned conservatives and countless frightened parents.”_
*- William F. Buckley Jr. (American conservative author & commentator)*
_"The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world."_
*- Dr. Carl Sagan (American Cosmologist, Astrobilologist, author & science communicator)*
_“You bet I did -— and I enjoyed it.”_ ….when asked if he had ever smoked marijuana.
*- Michael Bloomberg (New York City Mayor)*
_"Studies have consistently failed to establish the existence of a link between the harshness of a country’s drug laws and its levels of drug use."_
*- Kofi Annan (U.N. Secretary General)*
_"Pot is a better drug than alcohol. I’ll prove it to you. You’re at a ball game or a concert, and someone’s really violent and aggressive and obnoxious, are they drunk or are they smoking pot?"_
_“Why is pot against the law? It wouldn’t be because anyone can grow it, and therefore you can’t make a profit off it, would it?”_
_“…It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn’t the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit … unnatural?”_
*-Bill Hicks (Satirist, Social Critic, Stand-Up Comedian)*
_"If the words "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" don’t include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn’t worth the hemp it was written on."_
*- Terence McKenna (American ethnobotanist, author, advocate for responsible use of natural psychedelic plants)*
Cannabis oil saved the life of my car. I poured some into the crankcase, and it sealed some oil leaks, reset the timing and lapped the valves. It was in the middle of stealing my catalytic converter when I shot it. And I felt so guilty because we know how noble and righteous it is to use cannabis to not only fix a car, but to be your primary method of getting fvcked up for so many people.
I drank alcohol to deal with my anxiety as the medication I was on was not helping. I too took cannabis as my last chance and been over 2 years sober and going back to therapy. Cannabis works! The alcohol was killing me. Cannabis saved me from it. I also no longer need the other medications yet the VA will NOT pay for it, I can get all the opioids I want but not cannabis. What a joke.
This is the racist idiot who thinks 9-11 was fake.
It costs more than 600 a month
Its cured multiple cancers in people as well.
The devil dressed as Big Pharma stands in cannabis’s way
Rite on. ✊️
Hell yeah.
hey dont cry it isnt that bad
Right on. Where the law doesn’t reach, justice should reach a little farther.
HERE’S A GUY THAT SHOULD BE PRESIDENT
It’s always inspiring to hear stories of people who have found relief and healing through cannabis, and Jesse Ventura’s testimony is a powerful example of that. It’s clear that cannabis has the potential to be a valuable tool in treating a wide range of health issues, and it’s important for people to have access to this natural medicine.
Just a half a year ago I was in a really bad car accident I got ejected out of the vehicle I broke my leg hip and pelvis.. I was not even the driver I was the passenger I smell like pot I get to the hospital almost immediately they have a person coming in to talk to me about going the treatment for marijuana.. fast forward to my release date they gave me over 60 oxycontin and a bunch of other pain medication not one treatment plan for it not one…
If you change it to 1.5x it’s normal speed
Run Jesse Run!
That’s what I did, desperate need very sick straight to CO., Colorado cheap and fire if you goto right places. Big facts Jesse
Right on!!!
Nothing more pathetic than an old hippie.
Oh jesse, always 10 years late to the party and too cringe to care
God Bless Mr Ventura 🫂 ✌️ ☮️ 🕊 the man has came a long way n want to read a book on him not just his books haha
He swore he would leave The Peoples Republic of Minnesota forever and he keeps coming back. Just like herpes!
Why did Jesse travel to Colorado you could have got marijuana in Mexico
💯
It saved my life as well I went from shooting dope daily to just smoking weed and I’m happy and ok with it and ALL THEM OTHER DRUGS NO LONGER EXIST IN MY LIFE!!!
