I had a 500k bail for possession of marijuana.. 7 pounds to be exact. There was also a guy in my cell fighting a murder charge. Had 150k bail. See the issue? This story is NOT fake. Public records if you don’t believe me.
Trust me when i say this…..in the south….you will be judged and labeled as a "druggy" by people that gey sh!!t faced drunk everyday….it will never be accepted
It’s unaffordable so why legalize it? It’s cheaper buying it illegally, so I’ve heard.
Marijuana gets a bad rap let it go def not a gateway drug safer than alcohol
Why does this have to be about race, it’s about weed, legalize it.
Congress and our POTUS are too old
Legalize it, its a flower
Stop talking, and let’s smoke..🤔
Ahora usas la palabras para otro embustes
No salen de maldad alante te advierto de descubro y. No puedes más que ser sucios asesinos .
Just legalize marijuana, its less harmful than even beer ! Wake up feds !!!
“Pot” or marijuana should never have been made illegal anywhere on our beautiful planet!?! Like tobacco should be illegal everywhere!?! And sure if there is a god he or she actually put it here for us all to use!?! Madness people!?!
Legalize the marijuana
Does anyone know which people in Congress are opposed to legalization? Maybe we could vote those people out in November.

Can I apply living in the UK on maybe special circumstances?? I am mentally and physically ill, I have nerve root damage due to disc prolapse’ in my lower back and it looks like I may be suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder (mentally) Due to major anxiety issues I first tried cannabis when I was 15 and it made me panic and that panic lasted so as my mental health got more tender I learned that alcohol was what I needed to "Man Up" and be molded into another and as I grew older I found the hangovers far yo hard to embrace, to the point I would have to drink more and everyday for at least for days until the anxiety wore off, then when my back started playing up I found myself at the doctors being diagnosed with depression so I started being heavily medicated from prescription drugs Tramadol, Pregabalin, Duluxotine, Sertraline, Mirtazapine and Omeprizal, this led my to stop drinking, cold turkey style, it was tough, but I was in far to much pain to care, over the years I have become more confused and I believe sphychsis maybe setting in and I hade started to realise all the Darkness that has and does happen to me, bur also all of the wrong things I do, which to others. Last summer to help with my Chronic mental pain I started using cannabis as a way to cope (and as a last resort to save my relationship with my wonderful wife to be) the first couple of times I was 15 and panicking until tge cannabis helped me realise another perception, a place where the voices stop, a place when my tense and stressed body starts to actually relaxe, but it’s costly and illegal in the UK, but all those other drugs the NHS prescribe me are extremely costly and deadly, but that’s ok?!!! Why can’t they allow me 1 maybe 2 plants a year so I can use it as a medicine and would cost the NHS hardly anything in comparison, would I qualify??
The 90% are people that aren’t against pot, but don’t understand it enough to allow recreational use, at least they want it legalized.
The 60% are people that understand pot enough and want it accepted like cigarettes and alcohol (even though it’s not as bad), that’s the side to be on.
The 8% are old people that think pot is for dopes, people that think it’s "the devil’s lettuce", and drug dealers that don’t want to lose their income from it.
Can anyone Guess why she was able take to the to the topppp?? Racial bias is bass ackwards all the way back to my adolescent years.I was terrorized by black people wanting revenge for their ancestry in school. Its not about equality. More like!! Lest’s put the shoe on the other foot. most intelligent people know what I’m saying.If it was about equality racial issues(black/white only applies here.) Black/White society would be bump free by now ..403 years later. It’s about a race as a whole being @the apex. Nothing else.. Thank God I can see through.
I’m getting a joint-life insurance plan haha.
It’s only decriminalized in the capital city in Australia. Most of the government lives there. It’s been around 2 years but only one state. It doesn’t look like it’s going to happen here.
Who still calls it POT?? It’s like calling alcohol booze! SMH
Gotta love how people who never smoked try to tell you how lazy you will be if you smoke, they know, you know….
The legalization of marijuana should be regulated at federal level to protect children and teens. The news at the TV was about a teen smokes marijuana and passed out drooling. All the dispensaries around the country should be monitoring and check the content. How much they sell? The dispensary that sells the product to the kids, should be immediately close. A girl purchased a lollipop couldn’t close the mouth and dull until the effect pass away. Any adult providing kids with marijuana should go to jail. Human being should always have rules and regulations. Protect the people.
I’ve smoked weed for nearly half my life. Just turned 51, got my CDL to drive trucks and now I’m an alcoholic.
The Government people need to smoke maybe they can make better life decisions…..
Not South Dakota They TOOK OUR VOTES AWAY!!!! WE THE PEOPLE !!!!! KRISTY NOEM IS A NAZI!!!!
My uncle has been smoking it everyday for over 40 years, and he’s still not hooked on it.
Mentiras
Eso no hace eso ni nada al celebro lo jode satélites ese es el mal
Pues todos vinimos de fumadores
Pues era medicinal así que. Quién puede salvarse si fuera así
Y porqué la industria lo promueve
Por su aportación a economía de consumidores
Real quieren salud pues que los de tecnología
No existan y verán años en todos 300 años q tal la verdad hablo ok
Its is a stoner industry and there’s nothing wrong with that!
Just legalize it already!
All this country needs is a fail proof test to legally determine if a person who is being tested is under the influence. Currently there is no test to determine this and this has brought too much conflict in lawful actions at employeed work where OSHA mandates must be followed or risk being sued. Alcohol can be tested instantly for determined BA levels that can determine actions to follow. Once a rapid test to accurately determine how much a person is under the influence of cannabis, then it can be legalized and prosecuted for violations of exceeding legal limits.
Who in the hell rolled those joints?
So bad!
If they do legalize and i hope they sell it in dispensaries since the strength there is decent and the weed is clean of pesticides and has a variety of things where a liquor store would only have a limited variety and strength . I just hope they don’t put a limit on the strengthlike they do with alcohol.
Its time to legalize marijuana now that hardly anyone can afford it.
no truth nowhere govern this nation farmers all farmers unite for the legalization of the truth we can all smoke and drink later.
