    Missouri let the voters decided back in November! And next month, will start recreational sales! But Tennessee Republicans don’t want you to be an adult! They still want to tell you what you can and cannot do!

    Total B S from someone that has no clue what their talking about. Only two kinds of people oppose legalization, they are either ignorant on the subject or they profit from it being illegal.

    TN has a Fentanyl Crises and ages 18-45 are dying daily. More are dying from deadly drugs than Covid 2020-2021. TN does not need to Legalize Marijuana. Research States that have Legalized Marijuana, because results are NOT good. Marijuana Shops in States with Legal Marijuana are highly taxed. People continue to buy Illegal Marijuana, because it is cheaper. And the states have high rate of drug use and high rate of Homeless on the Streets taking over the cities, because of drug addiction.

    However, alcohol doesn’t help anything, and usually is the real gateway substance. They’re all fine w alcohol, consume it , and enjoy it. My mom was killed by a drunk driver, I’ve never known a person killed smoking weed.

    How do these people with oppositions not use facts? So irritating. What statistic states crime goes up if weed is legal because I sure can’t find any on Google (they say weed legalization doesn’t affect crime rates).

    I didn’t commit a crime and found myself in jail twice… his statement is bull crap 😤😔

    Whoever opposes legal marijuana should be audited financially make sure they havent gotten any bribes from the black market to keep it illegal. After all their salary comes from taxes which they refuse to increase. Sounds suspicious

    Homelessness and Crime ARE NOT caused by marijuana. (except the crime of possessing it)
    That first law maker does not have the facts to back up his belief.

    I m not American I was under the impression, you have high standards of healthcare (but accessibility troubles and lawsuit), technically. Why keep saying medical? What disease in the name of all thats holy will be cured? 1 joi nt is equivalent to 12 cigarettes, a doctor will not prescribe that? For what disease? Because of the high pressure on longs in short period of time (cigarette style) it s very bad long C wise. Almost giving the youngsters a guerentee..
