    You can grow up to 8 plants at once with 4 being ready to harvest; You can easily grow over 1lbs in under 4 months for a few hundred $ and less $ the next run. If you mess up you can order federally legal THCa Hemp to cover you until harvest

    Minnesota gubment at it again! Ok , what could go wrong? Lol



  3. @Jelly_Man710 on July 18, 2024 at 11:38 am

    I’d never buy tribal weed. They over price it and it’s straight dookie.



  4. @Darrinbewitched on July 18, 2024 at 11:38 am

    Poison



  5. @TroyJScott on July 18, 2024 at 11:43 am

    These states are always behind the times. Just let folks buy and sell the weed already



  6. @hydrobolix3365 on July 18, 2024 at 11:44 am

    I thought we were looking at December 2024 ?



  7. @sir.cannabis1173 on July 18, 2024 at 11:44 am

    Study those children you freaks 👹



  8. @poop464 on July 18, 2024 at 11:45 am

    Republicans advocating for legalization because of the destructive nature of the black market is awesome.

    I find the smell of Marijuana everywhere I live in Maryland absolutely repulsive. It triggers my asthma. Just as years ago it was proven that second hand cigarette smoke was damaging to those exposed to it,it’s the same for weed.
    Of course it serves medical purposes, but again it’s proven that inhaling any smoke into lungs is damaging. Would be far better to use tinctures or gummies to avoid lung damage, also weed is proven to stunt the minds of growing children and teens, and yet adults are smoking in cars with their children and pets inhaling the fumes.
    Our government just saw dollar signs when approving Marijuana use in many states. No real laws are enforced while driving and using in public spaces. Something needs to be done for better control.
    Now we have people driving drunk and high.. isn’t that special?



  10. @hammyhamhamster5993 on July 18, 2024 at 11:47 am

    Legalize federally now. What’s legal to possess and consume in over half of the populated areas of The United States should not make you a criminal in states still being governed by woefully ignorant prohibitionist politicians. Cannabis consumers in all states deserve and demand equal rights and protections under our laws that are currently afforded to the drinkers of far more dangerous and deadly, yet perfectly legal, widely accepted, endlessly advertised and even glorified as an All-American pastime, alcohol. Plain and simple! Legalize Nationwide Federally Now!……

    Good job! 😂



  12. @bidenhatesamerica on July 18, 2024 at 11:58 am

    What are they talking about? I could buy thc A bud at my local shop for the last 6 months.



  13. @diegomontoya796 on July 18, 2024 at 11:58 am

    Dont pay tax on weed.
    It defeats the purpose of not having to pay taxes.



  14. @tsunamiiwinterz-px7oz on July 18, 2024 at 12:00 pm

    Minnesota democrat politicians are clowns



  15. @luvzleigh on July 18, 2024 at 12:00 pm

    I really really dont like deanna. Guess whos mas taught her the etiquette how to fill that kind of order and where. My gramz 🤏🏽aaaalmost had it. Sllllap ‘er!



  16. @vette4life518 on July 18, 2024 at 12:00 pm

    Making lazy Americans lazier. Cool.



  17. @jefffalco587 on July 18, 2024 at 12:04 pm

    Legalize all drugs



  18. @hammyhamhamster5993 on July 18, 2024 at 12:05 pm

    Cannabis should be absolutely just as legal and easy to obtain anywhere as alcohol currently is. In every single state. No exceptions. It’s so easy: As legal and easy to obtain/use as alcohol currently is. Why hold relatively benign, often healing cannabis to any sort of irrational, stricter double standard than perfectly legal alcohol?………..



  19. @rockpadstudios on July 18, 2024 at 12:08 pm

    So nice that you can buy it and not worry about it being laced with other drugs



  20. @MrHondablink on July 18, 2024 at 12:09 pm

    For as liberial as Minnesota is, I cant believe they have been so far behind on this. Also to legalize it without a sale system set up is just idiotic.



  21. @cristinerisher4729 on July 18, 2024 at 12:09 pm

    They haven’t even finished building a tribal Marijuana farm by my house and already I see scary men with their faces covered and no license plates hanging around the area. As if casinos didn’t attract enough organized crime, now drugs.



  22. @timin770 on July 18, 2024 at 12:09 pm

    Marijuana is the gateway to hard drugs. Great idea, hippies



  23. @Tom-cz9op on July 18, 2024 at 12:10 pm

    As expected democrats made no plans regarding laws and regulations on marijuana.
    Get that tax money and spend, spend, spend



  24. @justincase8533 on July 18, 2024 at 12:10 pm

    How has it effected Wa, Or and Ca ? Enjoy!



  25. @DJDonkeytron on July 18, 2024 at 12:12 pm

    Learn from California’s mistakes… do not overtax and bog down with too much bureaucratic red tape – or the black market will be too juicy to ignore.



  26. @Dustyfingers on July 18, 2024 at 12:13 pm

    I mean politicians buy it from the black Market but they actually realized that the grower shouldn’t be penalized. Because the grower is organic😭



  27. @smithaz1981 on July 18, 2024 at 12:16 pm

    LEGALIZE IT ALREADY



  28. @Yoyoma27 on July 18, 2024 at 12:17 pm

    More millions of taxpayer dollars going down the drain in “ studies“



  29. @Dustyfingers on July 18, 2024 at 12:20 pm

  30. @rockpadstudios on July 18, 2024 at 12:21 pm

    Other studies have shown it goes down



  31. @guyfawkesuThe1 on July 18, 2024 at 12:24 pm

    Political motivation. Democrats want the gateway drug weed to get more drug addicts and voters!



  32. @user-bv4qk9gb1e on July 18, 2024 at 12:26 pm

    Lame. Is there any way our government isn’t lame? At least if they were all high I could understand how stupid they all are.



  33. @hammyhamhamster5993 on July 18, 2024 at 12:29 pm

    Prohibition and Reefer Madness are only pushed and believed by a very small, lunatic-fringe minority of irrational mental midgets on a never ending little personal moral-crusade and witch-hunt against relatively benign cannabis and it’s consumers. The rest of us sane, rational, normal Americans just laugh our butts off at and mock utterly desperate lying prohibitionists and their rediculious Reefer-Madness-Rhetoric as the comedy show they truly are!..

    _"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 (Drug Enforcement Agency 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)*

Ridiculous 😢
