#Republicans #Marijuana #Legalization
They’re using it for votes. There’s always a sneaky madness to they’re method. If they get elected that will change. Like they always do now. They can’t be trusted.
🐸🐸🐸IT’S LIGHTS OUT FOR THE DEMOCRATS IF REPS MAKE WEED LEGAL THEY DONT CUZ THEY ARE WORRYD ABOUT A FEW 70+ YEAR OLD VOTES HAD TRUMP MAKE WEED LEGAL THE DEMOCRATS WHOULD ONLY HAVE TO OFFER HAVENS FOR TRANS NATAIONALIST AND LGB FREEBIES FOR DERILECTS AND DEMOGRPHIC REPLACEMENT🐸🐸
I demand many hundreds of billions of dollars in reparations for being trafficked and tortured by the US government over the presently and previously unjust cannabis laws
But all but three states already have marijuana legalized. Most red states have them legalized medically.
Marijuana will never be truly legal in this country until it’s incentivized to stop companies drug testing for cannabis. I understand we don’t want folks high work, but just because someone tests positive in a urinalysis that doesn’t mean they’re actively high.
I gave up weed two months ago and I’m barely passing drug tests at this point.
We need this
Got the pacify the prolls.
Republicans realize they can make lots of money off of it ,people in jail for selling or getting caught with marijuana have to be shaking their head in disgust …
Politicians just want a share of the funds, don’t think they’re doing it just for “us”
Legalize in Teaxas !!!
If you make marijuana legal, you must pay every person who was put in jail for marijuana.
My people are forcing the government to legalize weed the same way we forced the government to legalize alcohol! It’s a business so the republicans should be all for legalization! 🇮🇹🇺🇸💲💲💲
0:30 did someone get shot in the background 😳
The fact that democrats haven’t gotten this done yet should make all of them get primaried and get rid of all of them and start with some new ones and just do it at the federal level, and it will be done instead of toying with this Issue dangling it like a carrot like a bunch of numb skulls would do each election cycle. And you do nothing, and you wonder why your approval is 7% Congress Get your head out, your bum.
So, nothing said here about Schumer relaxing on gun regulations. I’m curious why the speedy push combined with the two gun carrots he is dangling now. There is way too much money in the pot marketplace to escape IRS tracking.
As a life long Republican on every issue except weed and psychedelics, this is great to hear
The scheduling of the drug needs to be changed.
Marijuana is addictive and a gateway to more addictive substances. Facts.
Stoners for Trump! 🇺🇸 🌳
The more that weed gets talk about legalization the more I realize it’s actually hurting me more then it is helping me. Holds me back. Stupid as a teen this is all I ever wanted but now I want to be somebody and weed makes me comfortable with being lazy.
It was all racism anyway, it needs to end.
They say what people want to hear until they get elected, then they do what they want. Don’t fall for it.
And the U.S. goes further down the toilet.
Only because enough of the ones that stand to lose via incarceration, monetarily or otherwise are dead or have 1 ft in the grave..
Doubt it iowa blows
We need cannabis nationallt
As a republican, this should’ve happened decades ago
Wisconsin has been waiting patiently! 😖
Weed!
Legalize marijuana, but not the illegal aliens.
As a marijuana user myself in a legal state, I need to remind people that the legalization has caused a spike in cartel activity in legal states so while this is a win, we must be wary of that if that going forward
As much as I smoke, it really is a plot to pacify the country. Before this? It was prescription medication, but it unfortunately wasn’t enough for Pharmaceuticals. They’ll keep pushing- just you watch. Not for you or the people, but for profit and control. That has always been the goal. Smoke however you like, I can’t really stop you. With that being said, however, never go full pacifist on these guys, regardless of what you align with.
Republicans need to smoke weed to get back into reality. Weed, frees your mind.
Just legalize the leaf on a federal level, make everyone smoke so these hateful people shut up and learn how to chill.
Am I the only one with 1080 Video running at 480p?
Ha, the usa so far behind the rest of the world as to cannabis.
THESE DUMBASSES TRYNA TAKE WEED AWAY
👀👀👀
Of course they do. Theres money to be made and they want that money
What a time to be alive.
It is time to have done this 100 years ago.
This is one of the reasons to watch a large variety of news organizations, it’s important to understand the function of the news organization you are watching and what lense they are portraying the world and news from. This is important to hear I hope we see significant reform and change in this industry. My only fear is that the more decriminalized the industry get the more corrupt it will get and the more inflation we will see.
The real problem with inflation is the fact that, businesses need to generate large profits because if you allow your competitor to our earn you, they will use their money and influence to make your existence more difficult, like the media does to former president Donald J. Trump and current President Joe Biden. American interest takes the back burner to petty squabbles. Keep doing great work, bringing us the information we need to hear and doing it at a high level.
Legal or not it’s gonna get smoked
Ha republicans are dumb drug addicts know wonder Trump got thrown under the bus half the government is stoned and nothing is going to get done
Legalize it.
NOOOOOOOOOOO
release date?
Good. We already have recreational pot here in Nevada🎉
Marijuana legislation was created to lock up hippies and black/brown people so they could take away their votes, protest, and right to own firearms. Of course they’ll try to do away with it NOW that half of white people, not just hippies and minorities, smoke weed.
