    Way passed time to end this tyranny of cannabis racism throughout the world. Cannabis prohibition is a human rights violation. Cannabis is not only "safe" when grown by millionaires and billionaires. Time for the people to reclaim this plant for themselves.

    Cannabis is good for food, clothing, shelter, medicine, fun and environmentally sound for our planet. Literally one of the best answers we have for rebalancing our climate issues.

    Yeah! Signs of growing up based on principle



  4. Eyeofthemourning on May 31, 2022 at 4:55 am

    About time! Now we need to legalize it federally and delete those convictions!

    It’s about time.

    My coworkers brother drove 3 lbs of marijuana across state lines 20 years ago and went to the federal prison for 8 years.. he’s one of the smartest most capable human beings I’ve ever met and it’s insane to think that he went to a place where actual bad people go.

    seniors have to be featured on Jessica Soho to get some aid from the gov’t.



  17. Jennifer Padilla on May 31, 2022 at 5:10 am

    I’m ok with that



  18. Mason Kungle on May 31, 2022 at 5:10 am

    Police all across the country are someday going to be forced to focus on crime rather than high school and college student age offenders committing acts harmless to the public and themselves.

    *Incompetent, irresponsible, This is the adjectives that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris deserve to have in your administration. Please help USA quickly!

    "Dismiss their convictions?" What about their time served???? How are you going to give someone their time back???

    Yes! Dismiss this unfair charge. Now convict unlawful politicians and resurrectionist that try to bury our Democracy.



  23. Mystery Dog House on May 31, 2022 at 5:13 am

    The worst drugs of all time. Number 1 killers and life destroyers. Alchohol and Cigarettes are still out there. Frightning. Even as a 6 yr old I knew 1 day the Hippie prophecies would come true. Cheech and Chong you were right in the 70,s.



  24. HELPME100 on May 31, 2022 at 5:16 am

    Good!!!! Especially if they had little to nothing! To sell !



  25. C-130 on May 31, 2022 at 5:16 am

    REPARATIONS FOR MARIJUANA CONVICTS…. 1 mil per year served!!!

  30. TruckerExileE on May 31, 2022 at 5:24 am

    If we want to get marijuana legalized all over the country we need to kick out all these GOP baby boomers and silent generation out of state legislators as well as federal Congress and the senate, their ignorance is what is holding it back



  31. Pohaku Mana on May 31, 2022 at 5:25 am

    Felony Convictions have never stopped me from any job or college degree. In fact I got my first one inside.

  34. Michael. IMV. on May 31, 2022 at 5:33 am

    Finally….sad to see people going to jail over grass…..how many people die on overdue?



  35. cakedoodle on May 31, 2022 at 5:34 am

    Lead the way, L.A.!



  36. MARCVS LICINIVS CRASSVS on May 31, 2022 at 5:35 am

    The arrests need to be deleted too. Hiring managers treat arrests not leading to conviction the same as convictions.



  37. DADAROBOTO on May 31, 2022 at 5:35 am

    …..Instead DA will aggressively Incarcerate people that dont comply with mask mandates and vaccines. Because they care about the public’s safety 🙄



  38. Righteous 101 on May 31, 2022 at 5:36 am

    Good!
