Legalize it now! This is ridiculous that it has taken this long.
Like seriously... The PRESIDENT said it's already legal in most states...what's the hold up...like I would respect it more if everybody came right out and said how it would disrupt them financially 🤷🏿♂️
Bad idea
It's ridiculous

Turn your accusatory finger around and point at yourself!!
Do any of you even know what the federal level even does? Seriously it just restricts interstate commerce, that's all the federal ban does. They don't even have that authority because the constitution doesn't grant it to them.
By definition weed CANNOT be a schedule 1 drug and yet it still is, this is nothing short of blasphemy.
They know that The reason they slapped it as a schedule 1 is so the prison system can make money off of people because they knew that marijuana was going to be so used by people The people that are riding the laws that scheduled it to be a schedule 1 narcotic are the very same ones in the '60s smoking it up all of the time think about that These people that are refusing to legalize it are the same m************ that were smoking it that were having their age of Aquarius doing all the new drugs and saying down with the system down with the man blah blah blah they're all hypocrites
Smoking weed doesn't destroy families, drug testing for weed destroys families.

Yes, but do it on your time. Don't think it's good for everyone. You'll see!
What if you learned you car mechanic was high on canabis, would you feel secure in his job? I think it's a horrible idea to legalize it and I used to support legalized.
@@Joyjoy-ih1ie I would be more concerned if my mechanic was a drunk than a stoner. If you’re okay with alcohol but not weed you’re an idiot
They absolutely will NOT give Americans what they want. A friend of mine is using marijuana oils to help with symptoms of general anxiety disorder. This seems like a horrible outcome from the Pharma companies who want him hooked on addicting benzodiazepines. He’s risking his life to save his life from physiological brain changes due to this drug.
If it is down to me either risking going to jail or dying I'd rather risk going to jail. My health and wellness is more important than anything.

@@BasicLeigh smoking doesn't change the effects.
That’s horrible man. Weed is so healing and not as bad as alcohol or maybe nic depending on how you use it. The only think that would be even better than legalization would be no limit on growing, I know all the states are like 3-6 plants but as long as they don’t sell it why does it matter.
It Better Be Legalized.
The Boomers won't allow it. Vote them out of Congress!

Marijuana helped me get off other drugs,. The government needs to get it together.
Helped me get off pharmaceuticals that were given i mean targeted to me as a minor
@@SteemyDUMP and that's why marijuana will always stay a schedule 1 drug. So they could keep profiting off your illness without weed getting in the way. The real people that run the country are those Rich fat leeches
and that's exactly why they won't legalize it. do you know how much money "they" get from us being dependent on the many, many, oh so many pharmaceutical drugs that are out there ?? some of these pharmaceutical side effects are suicidal idealization and remain very legal even with a tag like that. bottom line, there's no money for "them" if they legalize it. there's no money in true health.
I got off of alcohol and gabapentin.
@@WNActivist88 I use to have a friend that was on gabs, I tried to wing him on some herb but he wouldn't do it. Hes now layed up in his moms place at 42 yo doing drugs on the daily. I had to walk away from him for my own strength. Im happy that you over came it!
Can't believe you can go drive a 18 wheeler after drinking all weekend, but loose your job n any forward if you smoke weed on a hangover free Friday night having a great time. 2 different feelings. DEA, FMSCA, Attorney General need to get over their selfish ignorant power tripping.
I know I have to give up Weed in order to be hired by someone. So stupid and ridiculous!
Weed high last 2 hours, Alcohol lasts 2 hours +gnarly headache +increase in cancer +damage to liver +decrease in metabolism
Why is it that people keep saying this only affects black ?!? I’m white as snow and I’ve been through all the same issues. I wish people would stop using race as a weapon
Exactly brother this is an issue penalizing all Americans
Exactly. The only reason that Harry Anslinger went after blacks in the 30's is because they smoked it in their clubs, where is White people kept their vices in secret. The race baiters love to say that it only affects black people only. The main difference is White people don't deal in public.
It was originally targeting hippies and Mexicans, as they used the relationship of demonizing it as they did with crack to black people, however it was originally attributed to black men in jazz clubs and on posters who they were blatantly accusing of using reefer to do deeds with white women. That was pretty racist. They also used the criminalization to pretend the rate of usage wasn't the same between Mexican, white, black, and hippies in general to get three of those groups arrested. Reefer madness was a term used when a boy of Mexican descent was used as a scapegoat for the stereotypes of marijuana. He had previously been diagnosed with a schizophrenic disorder, and had no history of use. That was pretty racist too. A century has not yet passed and these events were not forgotten. Race in this case is not being used against the minority. It's a tool for them. We need all the help we can get as a whole, and we can't exactly say "we're doin it for whites..." that does not sound good at all. On a individual level race doesn't matter, and if anyone tries to get an upper hand, or give a raw deal, they're trashlings. If it's being used for a community who wants equal right to do something, even if they are equally barred from doing it, the outcome will be equal.
In other words, we all want it to work. And it's not like everyone except white people will be allowed to do it. That's just as racist
It’s not that it only affects black people, it’s that it targets them more than white people. All people are affected, just not as frequent for whites
If Biden legalizes Weed I’m definitely gonna vote for his reelection, if Trump does same thing. Idgaf who does it. Some needs to. I have a federal job and had to give up weed in order to make a living. It’s not a bad choice but my life would benefit so much from having the freedom to work a federal job and use weed recreationally.
Why would you base your vote for president on such a silly single issue? There are much bigger things to consider.
No Way!
@@KennyKnoxify Considering the literally millions of lives that have been negatively impacted either directly or indirectly by the cannabis prohibition, ending it is definitely one of the most important issues facing society and has been for a very long time.
@@KennyKnoxify bro you don’t even know how this federal stuff makes it hard for cops, EMS to use i can become a drunk and nobody bats an eye but if I smoke a joint im fired crap is played out it needs to be federally legal
I'm not voting for Biden no matter what he does. If he legalizes it federally then good, but i'm not voting for him regardless.
Legalise it federally...and watch states follow. It's a very popular idea. Saves people from unnecessary incarceration
Because it saves unnecessary incarceration is the main reason why it’s still illegal
If they remove it completely from the schedule list it will make all state restrictions disappear because they base it on the schedule list.
That would be less money for the industrial prison complex. They can't allow that now.
Do you have any idea how much the prisons and the government will lose? Its one of the many reasons they are milking this cow dry.
True living in the middle
Indiana freedom no regulation on pot 👍
"Cannabis is currently listed as schedule 1. Same as heroin, same as ecstasy."
I love when people, making an argument in favor of cannabis, lump psychedelics in with harder drugs like meth and opiates. It really goes to show how much work is ahead in the normalization of drugs in our society.
typo- heroin. no E. with the E is a female hero- heroine. google is your friend.
They can't monetize off of it fully that's the only issue. It's not an issue of morality
Cannibals is natural, heroine is not
Yes, because like the stigma. People want to categorize it and put it in with a certain group. I find it very very hypocritical to make something like marijuana illegal in the first place. In states such as Tennessee, where marijuana is illegal, has the one of the highest drunk driver ratios in the entire country. Yet in the last 10 years, TN has legalized moonshine at the same time they decline to legalize marijuana. Also TN highways are filled with rim destroying pot holes. Meanwhile go to Colorado where since legalization has less drunk drivers on the road and less accidents... hmm 🤔
Also I might add that the taxes paid fr recreational marijuana in CO has literally PAID for fixing its highways.
@@douglasblack7235 That's a lie that everyone has been saying. They tax dispensaries all the time and make billions in taxes. The reason it was banned is because Harry Anslinger grew angry that his department lost funding after the end of prohibition so he sought to get Marijuana banned to keep his department funded.
The time has come 🙏🏾
but drinking and driving kills thousands a year in the US........
I just ate a 500 mg cannabis (THC) brownie edible from the dispensary. I want every adult in the country to have the option to do the same if they do choose. Cannabis has been nothing but a blessing in my life.
Miss it so much had to quit as i took a job and now have a cdl.. but im not as social, calm as i used to be when i smoked (quit 16 months ago) anxiety not helping either.. kind of wish i never took this job but i am an adult with a family had to do what best for them.. jus wish they would come up with a weed breathalyzer like they did with alcohol my job does random drug tests .. i dont wanna smoke before driving but i would like to smoke one after a long day of work 😔😢
It should have been legal for every state almost 11 years ago 🤔✌️
Shouldn't have been illegal in the first place, but we agree.
I find it odd that Cannabis can be used medically and recreationally responsibly and yet they worry about the abuse of the use. However, with Alcohol and Cigarettes which provide no healing value, they have no issue how much you can use. Seems to me, they know that medical cannabis can eliminate the need for many prescription drugs and that tobacco and alcohol use will decrease when recreational use comes into effect.
👍
They’re all horrible for you, companies just like to profit from them
I don't drink or smoke, but if I had to choose for one to be legal, to see my kids partake, it would be Mary J. Hands down!
He pardoned some, but didn't do ANYTHING for helping it become legal on a federal level. Ridiculous. He is USELESS!
It is ridiculous that the government won’t move on this. There is absolutely no reason for it to remain illegal. It’s complete nonsense and literally everyone knows it. It’s hard to have faith in a government that can’t even get the most simple things done
Prison industrial complex
@@JohnnyYKthink of all the money they would get from the tax
I live in a conservative state and know exactly zero people who are in favor of keeping it illegal. I’m very conservative (politically and socially) and fully support legalization.
there was never a reason to list it as a schedule 1 drug what a bunch of BS
It's a failed system.
This whole continent is a failed system!!!!
By definition alcohol should be a schedule 1 drug
"has no medical value" - medical marijuana : "am i joke to you"
Truck drivers shouldn't be prohibited from operating commercial trucks because of thc positive drug screens neither this is ridiculous
I’m not a fan of weed but I see no reason why it shouldn’t be legal. Is it completely harmless, as some of its advocates claim? Of course not, but it clearly is less harmful than legal drugs like alcohol and tobacco.
I wish it would be. Canada is getting along fine
90% are for legalizing it 10% are not
The federal government has 0 authority to regulate marijuana.
Where does it exist? They have an Amendment for alcohol. There is no amendment for drugs of any kind.
10th ammendment, states rights.
We just need to uphold the law the way it exists right now.
Regulating and taxing weed at the federal level means people will still end up in jail for a plant.
The federal level is only for interstate commerce, nothing more.
As the other dude said it’s only for interstate commerce as well as shit like ur right to own a firearm. Yes they will be taxing and regulating weed but imo it’s worth it because if they don’t then weed users will continue to not get the privilege of the second amendment “right”. People will continue to go to prison and become felons all because they want to both buy a gun legally, and buy weed legally. U literally can’t legally have that as protection if u smoke weed. We are legally bound to be inferior in a situation where someone has a gun.
Let’s say some drunk dude approaches u with a gun. What r u gonna do? U know he’s drunk and irrational as fuck and he’s legally allowed to have a major advantage over you. Crazy.
About time. I am still wary but a bit ecstatic about the inevitable legalization. And on top of that, some landlords here in Montana don't really care anymore (some guys are obviously pro-pot - I mean, they also have voted for recreational use here too). Still, with it legal, I don't have to stress too much about it afterwards. At least the marijuana prohibition era is ending, even for other countries.
I doubt they're going to legalize it. The bill has to pass the house and the senate
@@agentbubbles782 I know, not overnight, obviously.
I’ve research this quite a bit over the years and from what I can tell, the only substances which actually fall inline with *all* the criteria for being “Schedule 1” would be crack cocaine and nicotine. No other drugs fit all the criteria for being designated as schedule 1.
Nicotine lowers your chance of parkinsons
@@leeadickes7235 Yeah because you will be dead from lung cancer....
@@WNActivist88 you don't have to smoke it.
keep trying to study until you get it, you are wrong
@@leeadickes7235 That doesn't mean it still doesn't fit the criteria for schedule 1... lol
Also it's better at preventing just straight dementia more so than Parkinson's because it's more cholinergic than dopaminergic.
The pardons did absolutely nothing because there is no charge for use, only possession or trafficking.
“Nobody should be in jail for possessing or using marijuana “
For God sake , that’s the only statement from Biden that have made sense
It took me almost 20 minutes to find this video, i searched all over for the update on this and couldn’t find anything. I even searched for the new hr3617 and couldn’t find any recent updates. It’s crazy that it was this hard to find a update on this. Almost like its being hidden.
I don't think it's being hidden, I just think it's moving a very crazy slow pace. Hopefully it's not just political grandstanding.

@@FrenchyTube3 simulation is trying to hard to convince me
Marijuana simply should never have been illegal to start rough. Stop government overreach !
I don’t know what alcohol is legal and weed isn’t. Alcohol is much more harmful to communities and your body weed does no harm to your lungs or the people around you.
It does to your lungs, carbon monoxide and tar are factors. Bong water can be cleaner than your lungs. Alchohol is beneficial in the right doses, and combining the two is allegedly fun. Dunno how compatible the two are for health reasons, but nothing worth doing is boring enough to be completely safe.
Legalizing marijuana would be best not only for the u.s but for the ENTIRE planet!
Make it legal why not
Because then the billionaires of the world would find a way to make cannabis in a laboratory and say it’s safe to consume it only has .0000001 trace of carcinogens..just like in our food. Why you think so many people have cancer…they put it n the food you eat…but their rebuttal is that it’s such a small trace of the carcinogen that it’s perfectly safe to consume…yea right…keep cannabis illegal and keep the billionaire corporations out of it.
@@P2Feener305 good point but these billionaires your speaking about eat too they all die of cancer and other diseases. No one lives forever doesn’t matter how much money you have or color we all die
To keep us black people behind bars for something that’s non violent
@@thegoat90 right on!!!!
It should be legal im from the state of Kansas and many laws want to prohibit the use of Marijuana. I don't see any harm from Marijuana
I had a half gram and was arrested here in Arizona !! Not even a blunt damn.. but all these pill smokers walking around in freedom…
Need to legalize
I'd say the only time weed should be illegal and be arrested for it is if you're using it while driving.
Using it responsibly in the comfort of your own home, Should not harm you or anyone else and you should not be locked up for that. Period!
Actually, the President can direct the DEA to remove marijuana from the DEA Schedule under executive order. He probably wants Congress to pass a law so any incoming administration can't cancel the executive order.
Trump isn't going to reverse that decision. No US president is going to do that since the majority of the country wants it legalized.
"We The People"
Not
We the government
They’re taking sooo long they’re gonna have to look at legalizing a plethora of street drugs just to keep up with actual society. Drugs will continue to get progressively stronger and more dangerous the longer they talk to legalize certain substances.❤
No one in the history of the human race has ever died from a marijuana overdose, but millions of people die of alcohol overdose daily all over the world. And we wonder why idiots run the country and the world.
This is for weed, not for your nose candy
@@WNActivist88 It's scheduled lower and we all know how people love stimulants in the workplace throughout history. They made 2 different breaks for them.
That's what they want man i don't think its gonna be legalized
The government will debate legalization for another 50 years. It's just ridiculous at this point.
Sell it like cigarettes by the pack.
Marijuana is our only relief from not losing our minds from those in charge of leading our nation.
It’s not fair how brittney griner committed a felony aka air travel with cannabis. It’s a federal crime on top of that yet she’s walking free. I served time for marijuana and it’s just not fair

You can’t use marijuana every day because it affects you, but yet you could drink gallons of coffee every day which also makes your body react differently. Is it the same no but most people should get what I’m saying
And how does it affect you if you smoke or do edibles everyday? Enlighten me, I’ve done it for years and remain a productive member of society.
@@cavediver2579 Only the carbon monoxide does anything.
It is way worse with coffee. You can drink around 500mg and maybe not die. You can eat 500mg of edibles, and... nothing. You won't want to move for 8 hours, but you'll live. It's actually a dose used to reduce inflammation, daily. The only part that affects you is really the carbon monoxide from smoking.
Till I smoked pot I was mentally ill. I got tunnel vision, had seizers, and convulsions. Started smoking weed and it all stopped. Got on my knees and thanked God. I am still so very grateful that God put it on earth. It was here all along. God had already provided. Thank you again God.
If the government can make money off of it you can bet on them only dropping it to a schedule II substance. I think the best we could hope for is a reschedule to a IV level drug.
We all wish for No scheduling of this plant, but we also know there is No way in hell the government will let that happen. The absolute biggest bone I could see the government toss out would be schedule III, I honestly don't see them dropping it any lower than that, EVER.
Truth
This is probably what's gonna happen because if they legalize it they know everyone's just gonna grow it themselves.
Once it goes completely recreational I believe it will be pharmaceutically exempt from that type of drug scheduling interference,it would be like trying classifying alcohol and cigarettes as controlled substances at the adult level.Even if it were only available medically I couldn't see it being anything more than a schedule V I mean benzodiazepines are just a IV and 10 times worse than marijuana could ever be.
You can still get a felony charge and jail time for a schedule 4 drug.
@@MisterNiles Kind of wear I was going. If the government can make money off of it, you can bet they will milk it for every penny they can before they will de-schedule it in any way.
Just an FYI even if they legalize it federally it doesn't mean you can then go on to grow and consume it in a state where it is not legal. What this means is that when it becomes legal on the federal level you can ship products between legal states. If all states made it recreational as well then the entire country could change on many levels.
FINALLY! THIS IS THE FIRST GREAT THING I'VE HEARD FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN.
Want to see how divided and backwards our country is?
Just look at weed and the laws around it.
We need to pressure the feds. The same way the LGBT pressured the government to be “inclusive” then we as Americans should pressure the government
Once they can profit from it they will 😂
Since they are losing heavily to cartels rn DUE to heavy taxation and fees associated when buying at dispensaries .... They aren't going to federally legalize it. Extremely depressing
bruh legalize it federally already
it's only dangerous to ppl (yes including teens) who use it EVERY SINGLE DAY! Just like candy, it's fine if u use it in moderation.
I smoked it everyday basically for 20 years… wake up & smoke and would smoke on lunch breaks etc. Basically smoked all day and would even be blazed while stunt riding on my sport bike.
Smoked before my workout sessions and I basically smoked all the time 😂 from sun up to sundown.
Im almost 50 now and dont smoke anymore because I moved and dont know anyone but Im okay with it but I do miss it a lot. I dont drink, smoke cigs or do any other type of drug. Been straight years now.

Even when it becomes legal in a state, the old jobs that don't allow cannabis still allow alcohol. Use common sense to see how this can be an issue. For emergency services like EMTs, fire fighters and police officers, they get PTSD frequently as apart of their job. Alcohol is the only way to legally be intoxicated off duty. Same for military, the effects of alcohol are tipsy, mood disorders, loss of rational thought, reasoning, balance. Leads to domestic violence, hazing, alcohol poisoning, addiction, drunk driving, child abuse. Alcohol is an epidemic. While cannabis at most can possibly make somebody lose focus or another mild common symptom.
With more positive effects than negative. Cannabis became illegal illegitimately through racism, corporate raw material favoritism, corruption and pure ignorance. The congress that outlawed it was presented a bill for outlawing Marijuana but didn't know it was actually hemp that was being outlawed under a different name. Then after World War 2, when world wide drug use soared due to the trauma of loss and destruction, the poverty that followed. With cannabis illegal everyone turned primarily to prescription drugs, alcohol and especially street drugs increasingly into the 70s.
This is why we are facing so many societal issues on all levels, that cannabis could alleviate, prevent or put something new in place. For example, a woman in New York City goes for a jog in the park at 5 AM and doesn't come out because of a predator. With cannabis illegal and weapons illegal in New York both with and without cannabis. That means the only person going to be in the park possibly smoking cannabis and armed is the criminal. But if you legalize cannabis, you can have people like me who walk around at night smoking, doing extra patrolling and using the innocent as bait. A safer society.
Not true at all..nyc allows city workers to consume.
Cannabis didn't become illegal through racism, it became illegal because Harry Aslinger got greedy and wanted to keep the money rolling in for his department, and the majority of his decisions were from the fact that companies that were competing with Hemp made products didn't like it that they had competition.

How are we the United States but we’re not United in selling weed
Road rage would go down. Cowards would stop sideswiping & braking checking. Roads would become pleasant again & safe to take your family on the road like in the 80’s. Truck drivers would be cool as ever if they were allowed to smoke. They always stressed out & ANGRY
Think the states that passed rec marijuana money should go to roads, nurses pay, teachers pay, free school lunches
Pennsylvanian here. Weed needs to be legalized. Like so many people got years in jail for possession of weed they got for themselves. And plus it costs the tax payers idk how many thousands to keep them in jail for idk how many years.
Legalize Marijuana it will benefit our country tremendously
Who cares if it is or not? It doesn't stop anyone from doing it.
If Marijuana is used for medical conditions it shouldnt be thrown into schedule 1
2030 will be federal law legal cannabis should
HEY! FEDERALLY LEGALIZE IT! NOW!!!!!
There is no medical use for alcohol yet it is legal for recreational use. Marijuana needs to be the same way. People use marijuana because it is a great way to relax after work the same way people use alcohol.
People who use marijuana also often don't need pharmaceuticals. Marijuana does offer some pain relief benefits. That's why NFL players want to be allowed to use marijuana. It's way better than being addicted to Vicadin.
People who use marijuana typically don't need antidepressants. People who use marijuana also tend to drink less. Which is why Anheuser-Busch doesn't want marijuana legalized.
Legalize it stop making it look like it’s worse then alchole
Let's talk more about how unconstitutional Maryland is.
The new Md. cannabis law is garbage. It almost seems designed to set people up for arrest. And what's with the household limit instead of limit per person?

It should’ve been legalized long ago, it’s much safer than alcohol. Alcohol is physically addictive, has withdraw that can be fatal and you can overdose on alcohol. But yet there’s no limits on how much alcohol you can buy, it’s advertised everywhere and celebrated like it’s beneficial. There’s no physical addiction or withdrawal from marijuana and it’s impossible to overdose unless you count going to bed early. The prohibition of marijuana only further proves we shouldn’t trust what they say or do.
This is great news,
3 letter agencies/executive branches should have nothing to do or say with legislation.
LOL all drugs should be legal by now.
It's your body and banning drugs just leads to a violent black market and expensive police force.
If you can legalize it in the capital you can everywhere else it makes no sense
