    Does not matter what sleepy Joe does, marijuana is a mind altering drug.
    That’s why I don’t smoke or sell it.

    If you get injured as a result of having to work with a stoner can you successfully sue the state?



  6. @pawelpap9 on February 20, 2024 at 5:44 am

    Uproar of joy for stoners. Two tier society.

    Industry. Hmmm. A pack of cigarettes is $12. Marijuana and cheaper, readily available & dangerous drugs (with free needles) are pushed to legalization. A campaign to ban Koolaid and sugary drinks while high octane/caffeinated energy drinks are pushed. Alcohol becoming cheaper than soda. Sex industry booming- with kids as the main attraction. A cozy home is off the charts while the tiny, composite units of smart cities are the upcoming choice to contain you. Cash is too dirty to handle, but a chip implanted under the skin is ok. Food with a host of chemicals and processing is cheapest, but food that requires sun, rain and care is too expensive. The convenient internet can inconveniently turn you off. Industry has made poor choices and so have the consumers.

  10. @hammyhamhamster5993 on February 20, 2024 at 5:52 am

    Cannabis should be just as legal and easy to obtain anywhere as alcohol currently is. 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?



  11. @bullhead900 on February 20, 2024 at 5:57 am

    Loser potheads, how can this be good?



  12. @oralienvagin199 on February 20, 2024 at 5:57 am

    I’m German and love weed.



  15. @billfeist2988 on February 20, 2024 at 6:02 am

    If you need crap weed to be a man. You failed.



  16. @hammyhamhamster5993 on February 20, 2024 at 6:03 am

    <<<<<<::::Legalize cannabis federally within each and every state. This way, irrational prohibitionist politicians can’t obstruct and prevent legalization against the will of the vast majority of Americans whom support full federal cannabis legalization nationwide. Treat cannabis exactly like we treat far more dangerous and deadly yet perfectly legal alcohol. Legal in all states.::::>>>>>>>>

    Ugh rediculous 😢

    Good for their bank accounts bad for American society.



  20. @jakeknapp6833 on February 20, 2024 at 6:09 am

    Wish those states can make it illega agin for recreational as in thc or negative association with the drug



  21. @jamesklaatu9359 on February 20, 2024 at 6:09 am

    Great, more drug dealers profiting from our progressive government. This while they destroy the minds and motivation for our children and young. Treason and subversion comes to mind. Everything they accuse the opposition of.



  22. @EMGge on February 20, 2024 at 6:09 am

    The 11 people on his "pardon" list wasn’t convicted of weed, but cocaine, crack, and meth.
    Look it up.



  23. @tpwb5882 on February 20, 2024 at 6:09 am

    This is absurd, they gonna make the whole population a a weak lazy pot head.



  24. @klamcpa on February 20, 2024 at 6:13 am

    Let’s go about the election time 😂



  25. @barbaramorse5963 on February 20, 2024 at 6:15 am

    Vote #MarianneWilliamson2024. She will make it legal. Medicare for all. Much more. She is for all people not corporations.



  26. @jimibmore on February 20, 2024 at 6:18 am

    Funny that he does this now when he passed the 1994 crime bill that had mandatory sentences for marijuana use — including some jailed without parole under this law he actually wrote. He’s the biggest hypocrite ever. All under the ruse of trying to get votes. It isn’t happening Xiden…you’re done. Time to make Nursing Home reservations.



  27. @ocskywatch1 on February 20, 2024 at 6:19 am

    should never been against the law in the first place, Biden’s just trying to scrub off the Gaza blood



  28. @Patrick-hm4qr on February 20, 2024 at 6:20 am

    Legalize weed just like Canada



  29. @Wizardof on February 20, 2024 at 6:21 am

    HEY REMOVE MY SPEEDING TICKETS AND CLEAN MY DRIVING RECORD?



  30. @Leaveit_alone on February 20, 2024 at 6:25 am

    It is still against the law in states that have not legalized marijuana.

    You can still be jailed.



  31. @iamfrickincool on February 20, 2024 at 6:25 am

    Marijuana is a drug and it being legal makes the youth think drugs are ok.
    It being illegal in my youth made us do things differently



  32. @phil4346 on February 20, 2024 at 6:26 am

    What about the military when will we be able to puff puff pass without the fear of losing everything.

    The World is dying and this is what he spends his time on.



  35. @msmoe8687 on February 20, 2024 at 6:31 am

    Now if we could just get processors a livable wage, that would be fabulous.. we should at least be earning the same amount folks at fast food restaurants do.



  36. @ricardodsavant2965 on February 20, 2024 at 6:31 am

    Bro, pay my student loan. I have a degreee in postmodern male feminist yoga studies and can’t find a job. 😭



  37. @hammyhamhamster5993 on February 20, 2024 at 6:32 am

    As evidenced in the comment directly below: Reefer Madness is only pushed and believed by a very small, irrational, illogical lunatic-fringe minority of mental midgets. The rest of us sane, normal Americans just laugh our butts off at and mock desperate prohibitionists and their ridiculous Reefer Madness rhetoric as the comedy show they truly are.



  38. @michaelcohen3696 on February 20, 2024 at 6:33 am

    He will do anything for a vote!
