Why hasn’t the federal laws changed, how can cannabis be legal in States and be Federally illegal, this makes no sense.
There’s a good video on this website called “How Marijuana is both legal and illegal in the U.S”
Big Pharma lobbyists.
The answer is weed is a fascist gimmick… it’s in the hands of government 👹and 👹corporations….and they seal out competition this way so they could sell their dumb down ☠️products to the unsuspecting public.🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
It’s not even pure weed…ask the dispensaries 👹to prove in writing it’s pure weed and watch them squirm…
They also scan and record your drivers license 🪪as if you were their test subject …🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Weed is fascist trash..🤥real weed is illegal…tomatoes 🍅are legal…weed is Orwellian anti weed….it’ll get you whack….😵💫😵💫😵💫red eyes…🥴🥴🥴🥴but it’s whacky weed ☠️🤥🐑😵💫🤢🧪💩😵💫
It's stupid
Land of the free suddenly isn't so free now is it 😂😂🤔
Just legalize it federally for fucks sake. So tired of this bs and want to be able to smoke.
I feel you I'm so tired of buying in streets I hate it.
@@Human_being631 yes, can't wait till Marlboro puts their chemicals in there
I remember when dc had all those pop-up weed parties. You can “donte” money for a sticker and with that sticker you can get the product you want 😂😂 everyone from Maryland was driving into the city. Fun times
Lol dang yeah this around the time when IG # was the main way to actual finding the events. D.C still has vendors & events its just more discreet nowadays
Fun times.
@@4Noirr_ I heard they were getting raided a lot after a while
most were in townhomes , 1st floor try this preroll, 2nd floor try this dab rip, 3rd floor, why am i here?
I remember seeing that on TV and said soon as the media picks this up, it's a wrap. Folks couldnt keep quiet
State by state, eventually they will all legalize it hopefully.
Not if the GOP has their way
@@colins11 not true that only your opinion🥴
@@angelshalo06 not an opinion when they openly admit that they are against the legalization of it
@@colins11 not all reps are against this. 🤷🏽♀️ the feds need to decriminalize it.
North Carolina is in desperate need to legalize this plugs are useless.
Virginia needs to impeach Youngkin!!!
💯
💯
Get rid of Youngkin
💯
LEGALIZE THAT SHIT DUDE!!!!!!
I could not calm down enough to be a foreman until I started smoking marijuana so I'm having trouble seeing the bad mental effects from marijuana
Thats because there are none.
Weed laws are a joke. Noone should have to ask to use a plant. Land of the free? I dont think so.
The people who made this laws think very different I would have made alcohol illegal and weed legal.
@@Human_being631it would save many lives.
Drunks kill people.
thats the problem, everyone wants to tell their neighbor what to do. put what u want in ur OWN body, stop wishing u could control others @@Human_being631
Yes, poppy plants for all…hehe 😅😂❤❤❤❤.
Youngkin better leave it alone if he wants a chance at getting reelected lol
Unfortunately I fear that a lot of people in Virginia have gone full right wing rube and they will vote Republican no matter how detrimental it is.
Hey guys so you know it's been a great success.... Going to Hagerstown Maryland to rise dispensary to buy my first legal purchase of cannabis was absolutely amazing... What a great experience I had.. 47 years old I've waited my entire adult life to legally buy cannabis... I have a lot of pain issues and I've been on a ton of medication... I've always hated the fact that when you buy cannabis on the black market you're actually supporting gangs and cartels... This experience I had buying cannabis was the safest and self-rewarding thing I've done in a long time... It was amazing and I believe it's everyone's choice whether they want you consume cannabis or not... And our constitutional liberty's intended us to have that right. So I have never and will never support a Prohibition of anything that can be considered medical treatment or anyone in this country because I'm in American... God bless America in this great country 🇺🇸
I was just reading up on legal stated and DC caught my eye. Not mad y'all, but I think its kind of weird that it is still illegal federally, but housed smack dab in the middle of legality!
Rules for thee, not for me.
I feel safer with it illegal, once Marlboro takes over its going to cause cancer for sure.
Thank You
Legalise cannabis in the UK.
The Virginia hemp D8 ban come july 1st
Yo younkin, shame, shame, and more shame!!!
High on caffeine and doughnuts are more dangerous than high on weed. We should look into this because it’s funny.
Mean while we're out here with straight up moonshine factory's....no comparison between effects/affects of alcohol and marijuana.
I'm counting down the months till July 1, im gonna go by everyone who ever talk down about weed being illegal. I might even go to my Mom house and smoke a blunt in front of her, for years of arguments, and getting kicked out for weed. LOL
😂😂😂😂Im with you bruhh
You petty
What about protection in the workplace. Can employers still test for marijuana?
In Va you still have to take a drug test but they can’t legal fire or not hire you if you have a doctors note saying you need weed
They can, but not if they actually want to hire anyone.
They can test if your company holds federal contracts.
It's all BS.
About time…!
Good lord why does everything have to be about color. There are hundreds of thousands of all people black white brown that’s had their lives ruined because of unjust weed laws.
Not proportionately
Because history dictates that it is always about color - blame your ancestors.
The media has got to follow the narrative
@@EPaige-vq5yx My ancestors didn’t do shyt different than every other country has done since the beginning of time. It blows my mind how Americans in 2023 can complain about slavery in a very small period of time when trillions of people were slaves throughout the evolution of humanity. All races and ethnic backgrounds at one time were slaves. Chinese Americans Spanish Americans Irish Americans Korean Americans etc etc etc! There are still slaves in Africa right now and nobody says or gives two shyts about them. It’s 2023 in America can’t nobody and I mean NOBODY say nothing about slavery because everyone in America knows only security stability luxury and privilege. No matter the color of your skin if you are born and raised in America by Americans you are already richer and better off than 99% of the rest of the world. Blame my ancestors lmao yea what happened 200 years ago has 0 to do with me I live in reality not fairy land.
But why make it legal if you can’t sell it??
Where is the tax revenue supposed to go?
‼healthy lookin woman thanks for the report
Simp
@@jedinite241 lol Child
@@jedinite241 my previous comment was correct 👌
@@agaimless3724 Women like to be complimented sir.. and she is a beauty
I wanna go to Washington DC can I buy weed though?
its gonna be wayyyy overpriced
Blah blah blah… I use to smoke w33d as a teen daily, it helped focus more, helped me get off real drugs from doctors for my adhd and I had high energy, got straight As in school never failed a test, so who are these special people they studying 🤷🏾♂️😂
u & obama & governor of colorado & god knows how many else
Alcohol...weed
Pick one
Easy oivk
It's not legal for teens under the new law so what was the point of that?
It's bad for teens brains because there still developing
Teens shouldn't be smoking period
@@eli4276 truth unless they have a valid medical reason like cancer
Educate yourself for f*** sake. You are probably a Middle/high Schooler just "Trying to Get high and relax bruh" 🥴
@@joeyharper4976 well I hope this made your day sir.
5:49 can we stop calling these "drug paraphernalia" at this point pretty please?
How can you tell how much weed I smoke before I operate a vehicle? It would lead to civil lawsuits against the cop if weed and alcohol are measured and tested the same way. Did I smoke a joint or smoke with a bong. Red eyes does not mean your high all the time. Smell of weed can be challenged because cops are not trained to smell weed. So that leaves us to fst. Which any pothead can pass any fst . Just remember weed makes you focus while caffeine and beer causes road rage and bad behavior. So I’m waiting to see why weed is compared to beer or alcohol and who is making all this laws without research . We pay a lot of tax from weed to be taken to jail for weed. That’s why we have homeless because everything is taxed high but if you grow it to help yourself you lose everything. This country rather support gay marriage and abortion than to support people that plant weed . Talk about home rights and being free is just an illusion in America. The richer you get the harder you get sent to prison. Example? Trump .
Yes to Florida recreational Marijuana 2024 i don't think it's fair that we have to pay $300 to $350 yearly or every other month for a medical Marijuana card and have to pay to buy the Marijuana also we live in the same United States where in every other state where recreational Marijuana is legal i feel like we getting robbed
❤️❤️
She just had to throw in that racial comment..
Im in NC, if they ever legalized it here. Real estate will rise 20-30% in 1-2yrs on just that alone, add another 15% for inflation. It actually would wreck the local Economy here. 1bedroom apt would increase $200-$500 on avg.. 1350-1800
Not if it was federally legal everywhere, the only reason legalization would drive up the price of real estate would be because people are moving from a state where it's illegal to be where it's legal if it was federally legal everywhere they wouldn't move in the first place
@@Ashclayton1994😂😅😅 you must been high. That was exactly my point
It's just a plant. It's fine.. enjoy ❤😂
And releasing ppl from prison for non-violence weed charges needs to be set free for sure!!
So cars are legal to own an have, AS MANY AS U WANT! Only weed can be legal but u can only have a oz of it, lmao, it don't stop cops from comen in ur house an violating every right u have! FACTS! IT WILL NEVER BE LEGAL THE WAY U THINK!, there never gonna give up the right to arrest black an poor people! By any means necessary 💯 facts
Why are this people making this so dramatic and slow just compare to other countries that legalized completely, i see them doing just fine. Alcohol is the problem here just switch lol
I've been using cannabis since I was ten, and I never got paranoid not once, I'm 66 years old right now and cancer-free, and you people say anything to get your way, whether you're right or wrong, you ought to get your story straight.
Afro Americans should be allowed to sell cannabis when its July 2023
lol
MISSOURI POT FARMER SONG 2022 $$
I got out my pipe stuffed it with pot
You better believe it held a whole lot.
I whipped out a lighter thumbed up a flame
Sucked down that smoke which comforts my brain.
I tried alcohol smoked cigarettes
They did nothing but give me regrets.
My mom had arthritis could not walk around
I rolled her a joint she danced on the ground.
I thought I was losing my lovemaking knack
After I smoked some to me it came back.
Soon I decided prices were high
I searched for some ground I wouldn't have to buy.
I bargained for seeds from smokers all around
Got in my truck and drove out of town.
I walked through the woods where wild birds nest
Found me the meadow I thought was the best.
I dug up the ground sowed all my seeds
Said a small prayer for strong, healthy weeds.
I watered at night with a five-gallon pail
Mosquitoes went hungry for I wore a veil.
Seven months went by; I thought I would die
Till the Halloween moon was high in the sky.
At night I went out, in a camouflage suit
Used my corn knife to chop down the loot.
I hung it up to dry where it couldn’t be found.
Came back and got it, when it had turned brown.
I trimmed off the buds, stuffed them in bags
Called all my friends and passed out free drags.
In less than a week my crop was gone
I flew to St. Thomas with a love hungry blonde!!

CANNABIS IS NOT MARIJUANA. Words mean things. Marijuana is a (racist) slang term, that renames cannabis after the Mexican tobacco plant to scared white voter from the early cannabis prohibition days. FOX you know this, but I guess the truth isn't as good at getting views as fear mongering or endorsing racism.
It’s also the term used in all these legal documents, so Fox is reading directly from the laws. The government always plays fast and loose with language.
weed baby, its all the same thing, except that deltacrap they passing off as real weed in georgia & tennessee
Sense they came out with this government sprinkle weed the weed on this street has been lower grade type ,like people are getting a pound for less then 600 but the weed is trash .
Just grow your own. It's not that hard and there are plenty of legit sites that sell premium seeds.
@@brett19890 what site
I have never seen a problem with my stuff you got a dealer that's trash. 🤷🏽♀️
What about Alcohol????
Grow your own. Dont give them the pleasure of taxing it.
Yup,..make it about black people
Do you know the history of how cannabis and hemp became illegal and why? Apparently not. Up until very recently, it was a fact that black people got arrested for weed more than any other group. The past several years, it became an economical issue. If you got busted and couldn't afford a lawyer, you were screwed, no matter your skin color. Especially in Virginia. They used to knock heads over weed possession
@@human_bot_ Newsflash: Majority of the black population lives in/around inner city areas. The very areas where the crime rate is high and a record amount of police is stationed. Of course black people are going to deal with police More, it's not "Racist".. It's common sense.
@@petergoezinya5044 they made it illegal because chill Mexicans smoked it. It used to be legal once. They also introduced Crack to the hoods boi. Cia sold Crack to scum who ruined folk. It ain't all black and white tho smh
I used to Smoke Weeds years ago. I stop smoking that Shit Because it was making me Stupid, Lazy, and Brain Dead
The media got to simp for the dnc and Feds.🤷🏽♀️
I've been buying my pot off Butler county like Pikeville Tennessee yeah off the game warden and Murray Kentucky is buying off the sheriff's department and in Monterey I was getting off another goddamn cop and fucking let's see everywhere I've ever been I've dealt with cops on pot
