I clicked on this thinking he would be stoned 😂😂
He is look at his eyes. I know it's hard to look at him. Man hes clearly baked..🤪
@@lookb4youleap386 I don't know why it's bad to illegalize talking to school children about their sexuality and not mandating experimental shots on children is such a bad thing. People in Florida love desantis and I can't blame them. The Democrats turn me off so bad because they push the agenda on children. I'd vote for them if they'd lay off of my kids.
He lit up a fat boy after taking Crist to the cleaners😎
@@lookb4youleap386 he’s wasted on scotch.....cause that’s way safer than weed
What a doofus. He does realize that kids can already get weed off the streets right? Only difference is the people they’re buying it from might have it laced with fentanyl.
Funny you never hear this argument about alcohol which actually kills kids and adults
Truth!
@@elon_bust not enough to ban it or toss people in prison for. It's easier for kids to get their hands on pot than alcohol and tobacco for the simple reason that it's illegal. A pot dealer doesn't check IDs but a gas station definitely does.
@@elon_bust hard to overdose tho
@@youtubeenjoyer1617 Who said overdose?
@@elon_bust well, one of the main differences between alcohol and weed is that it is almost impossible to overdose on weed, so in a way we can say that its safer than alcohol, at least short term
I don't know why we treat alcohol like it's not 10x worse for you than smoking a joint is.
if that question is not rhetorical, then here is my answer-----the money aspect of it to the side, alcohol consumption is ingrained not only in American culture but also in the culture of the places in Europe that most Americans came from in the first part of our history.
In colonial times, almost all of those who came here were from England, Ireland and scotland, which are all places where the drinking culture goes back literally hundreds of years before the "new world".
thats just my perspective and viewpoint
Cause it's not
@@dakidokino claiming that marijuana is healthy is pure delusion
@@deathtrooper2048 it is
@@bobbys1308 it’s well known that marijuana provides some health benefits if used correctly
decriminalize marijuana. all the way, for everyone.
👍
You have to respect that he doesn’t go against the voters will despite disagreeing with the majority
Sorry, no I don’t have to
Respect him.
Second, alcohol kills kids and destroys lives and families. Alcohol is far more dangerous.
Rarely does marijuana reck lives and devastate families.
Prosecuting MJ is harmful to otherwise law abiding citizens.
Except all the times he absolutely does
What I was thinking. Medical marijuana is just as effective as any far more addictive narcotic.
@@qwertyzxcvbn3174 Examples?
@@qwertyzxcvbn3174 care to give an example? Or are you going to just make baseless claims?
All I'll say here is there's a reason even democrat voters in Florida voted for this guy, it's because he does his job and he does it well.
I live in maine where it’s been legal for a while now and while I admit the amount of dispensaries that are open is insane, the industry actually brought it more then what was projected for taxes. Just legalize it, frankly at this point I’d rather have my kid smoke a joint then get drunk
In my country weed was fully legalized nationally. Created 100,000s of jobs and generates $15 billion per year in tax revenue.
Totaly agree. Tax it ...getting weed very easy when ilegal. But legalizing it removes that. Ask a kid what's easier to get a week join or cigarettes
@@markbaxter4527 You can't taxe it too much otherwise the black market will step in. We've already seen it happen in places that legalized it years ago. They should probably just realize they're never gonna stop drug use and just decriminalize possession on all drugs.
@@markbaxter4527 lol @ “weed joint” definitely know your not a smoker calling it that lol. You gotta be at least 50
They’d prob do both. Lose-lose
Just because he doesn’t support it doesn’t mean he’s against it either. Leaving it up to the voters is really all that matters. You don’t have to be a die hard supporter of everything.
We voted for an increase in the minimum wage, amendment 4 to give non violent felons the right to vote back and he is against both. He doesn’t respect the will of the voters.
@@phillybeccio2782 Well that’s different because both of those things are f*cking stupid.
@Neal Zirbes DeSantis sucks. He just represents his corporate donors.
@Mark Loftis well then you disagree with most of the voters in Florida who voted non violent felons who served their time should be able to vote again. You clearly don’t live in Florida. It was Amendment 4 and it overwhelmingly passed.
@Neal Zirbes lol pritizkers is based.
What about alcohol and prescription pills that kill people but that's okay to have that
He didn’t say that at all. Fake for you to imply that.
You realize people with terrible injuries need prescription pain pills or they suffer in agony right? Why do you want people to suffer in agony?

Where was he on all that when he oversaw turture at GITMO?
Then you haven't read into him enough. For example, check Secular Talk DeSantis for some interesting videos on that issue.
Pretty sure "whatever the people want" is not in the constitution
@@totlu5137 terrorists deserve torture
Lol he fought this for like 2 years.
Recreational use should be legal regardless. No reason it should be illegal.
I agree but there should be limits just like alcohol people shouldnt drive while being high as a kite your at home smoke your brains out but dont get behind the wheel. Weed will eventually be legal everywhere regardless of whos president its way more accepted now .
spot the pothead
Govt greed, that's why a natural substance is illegal.
Back when no one cared about these substances being used, people didn't fly planes, drive vehicles on roadways, or run machinery. So I understand that rules need to be in place.
What really bothers me is that govt is making money 💰 from the use of a natural plant and we the people never benefit from that windfall profit or the plant 🌿
Here's a good reason. Most people don't want the recreational version because that causes way too many problems with addictive tendency people in their states (who tend to also use other means of emotional escape).
if that doesn't make sense to you, you may be one of the additive types.
Florida voters also didn't want gambling because it tends to attrack high risk gamblers losing their life savings and assets, and those who feed off that environment (criminals, etcetera).
Keeping gambling only on cruise ships was a better option.
Maybe they should do that with pot 🤔 (only on cruise ships not on land).
When peoples minds and bodies are impaired by substance abuse they cause problems.
Ron I'm not a big weed smoker ,but you should not stand in the way of making it completely legal, like you said put to a vote and let the people decide, which is what you said, good man.
People don’t always know what’s right. Marijuana has strongly been associated with social problems outside of medical uses.
@@jokerpilled2535 And why do you think that is? Do you think that correlation is causal? That marijuana CAUSES those problems?
@@majav15mg marijuana is a gateway drug, that’s pretty obvious. That’s like saying alcohol causes social problems when obviously it’s people doing the problems, you can’t ban people so you can only ban what’s causing the problem.
@Jim thanks Jim , i thought the same thing, im glad we can both agree, but to be not honest , i really wrote the comment for my long lost friend Jim to read, and it worked! ... i love you Jim !
@@jokerpilled2535 not politicians jobs to tell us what’s right as we can see with how the countries going they are wrong a lot. Also, alcohol leads to many fatalities and has caused many broken homes but that’s fine right?
News flash young people smoke it regardless of the law!
I think he means people under 21.... which is every state.
Yeah… almost like it being illegal does nothing
@@bbailey3055 Exactly people will continue to get it, but people will get it from the black market. And that's only putting more people at harm.
By making it illegal ,it's gonna remove the need for people turning to the black market.
And they should !! Its 100% safer than alcohol
As a smoker myself, this is a perfect response in all ways to this question.
I am a conservative and believe small government is the best type of government. Republicans sure abandon their core beliefs once it comes to the consumption of cannabis. A grown man telling another grown man they cannot consume cannabis for recreational purposes is madness. If I am not harming others or their property, it is my duty as a conservative, and more over as an American, to exercise that right in disregard to the unconstitutional law. Republicans will continue to lose the vote nationally if they continue to be contradictory to their beliefs.
Agreed
As a sworn non-smoker too
Just legalize recreational marijuana for people over 21, and regulate it just like alcohol. There’s lots of profit to be had in the weed business, and it’s definitely something that republicans can benefit from.
It's been a bit since it became legal in my city and things are going great. I can only imagine that the revenue my city is making through taxes and the people love it to boot. This should have happened long ago
Alcohol causes the biggest amounts of deaths (that is when you murder under influence). Just saying.
It's been legal in Canada for 6 years and it hasn't caused any problems, even though the haters screamed for years how it would cause every problem under the sun.
Everywhere I've been where recreational weed became legal turned into a dump. Homeless increased ten fold.
@@dirtygerd9083 well i guess that means around half the United States is a dump
Now he wants to restrict medical Marijuana. Oh how times change
Medical is ridiculously expensive also, the first doctors visit is crippling to the working class.
Legalise it. Alcohol and prescription pills are so much more damaging. Why do we never hear about the positive aspects of marijuana use?
I hear about them all the time
Because before the 60's it was associated predominantly with black people. And the reputation still sticks in many conservative states...and since red states are racist, you have anti-marijuana sentiment
Because people who smoke marijuana are always depressed.
The problem is if you are going to legalize marijuana in your state you have to also support the farmers. In California the taxes are so high that the marijuana farmers cannot even distribute their products any more. They are hardly making any profit due to all the regulation and tax in California. If you’re serious about legalizing marijuana, you are going to have to implement policies that supports the industry.
The farmers have nothing to do with the high weed prices in California. It’s the extreme taxes 15% sales and a 4k-120K license fee, and it’s near impossible to get a license unless you are rich. This is solely the reason and if you don’t believe me look at the prices of weed in Washington.
We grow our own in Arkansas.
That's because California is a Democrat hellhole
The commierats of commifornia have set the house on fire and they are watching it burn down from inside while fanning the flames!!
Why should the government be allowed to tell adults they cannot smoke marijuana, but allows cigarettes, alcohol, and pills. I thought republicans were for small government. So why do they think the government should intrude on peoples lives.
"implement the will of the people" is exactly what every politician should be saying. Even though he has his own opinions on recreational use for young people, which makes sense in today's world, he still acknowledges this is a democracy. Beautiful
🤣🤣🤣 And then basically says recreational weed won't be on the table. Which a huge majority is in favor of
desantis is a tremendous hypocrite. You can believe what he says but i never will.
We are NOT a Democracy, we are a Constitutional Republic, hence the term Republican. However, what baffles me is how similar Republicans are to Democrats when it comes to the issue of recreational consumption of cannabis. Hell bent on controlling the rights of the people through threat of the law. The hell with the will of the people/mob rule. We have rights as derived from our Constitution that should be respected and upheld. What I choose to consume is my will and granted to me by Constitution, especially if I am not harming others or their property. This is a clear indication that DeSantis is a pawn to the system that continues to restrict our rights. True conservatives will not tolerate the government telling us how to live our lives, especially if those rules disregard our rights. This is not sensible, it's Big Brother madness.
Legalize it instead of poison pills 💊
Decriminalize it, alcohol is far worse.
He didn't really answer the question though. We're not talking about it for children or talking about it for adults. Obviously we would have an age limit. He can make that age limit 21 if he wants
You dont live here fek off
That’s because he knows it’ll be recreationally legal in the state of Florida eventually. He’s side stepping the question without taking sides
@@Nickgyw6 it literally won't
Get rekt pothead, go to a state that already has it. Oh wait you won't because those states have all gone in the dumpster ever since
Hypocrite
Prohibition advocates of everything always say age restrictions don’t work cry cry cry somebody just resells to younger or whatever…
Okay, guess to be consistent we should ban alcohol and tobacco? The kids are going to get to them apparently! Ridiculous reasoning always they just don’t want to say that they think making cannabis legal leads to cannabis use disorder sky rocketing…
He’s not for our liberty
He never was in favor of liberty. Hes a Republican, duh!
DeSantis 2024. You can hear his disagreement with the recreational use of pot, while at the same time respect for the will of the people.
Just legalize it to people over 21. treat it like alcohol. I do agree that young ones shouldn’t be exposed early since their brains are still developing. that’ll sell less illegal weed since open shops will take most of the qualified clientele, making it harder for youngsters to get access to it.
Yeah. Everyone knows that during prohibition there was zero alcohol related crimes or deaths. None whatsoever.
Even to this day, kids all over the world have zero access to marijuana thanks ti the tough war on drugs.
@@Nah_Bohdi I hope this is sarcasm 😂😂😂
War on drugs was an abysmal failure more kids are doing drugs today than they were before the initiative started
That’s probably the best answer to that question I’ve ever heard.
Imagine that- a politician “implementing the will of the voters” 👍🇺🇸
@@itsAmeOFP he said he supports medical marijuana, not recreational. And he provided good reasons as to why recreational should not be legalized.
@@jokerpilled2535 limit the rights of adults because of young people. Good logic
@@jokerpilled2535 No he didn't.
He certainly wouldn't. For example, check Secular Talk DeSantis for some interesting videos on that issue.
We should also respect the will of the people on the recreational side. It may come with certain consequences, but how can a free society maintain such harsh punishments for something like marijuana? It fundamentally makes no sense no matter what your opinion on the drug is.
First side to promise federal decriminalization of marijuana will win the vote. Play smart not stupid
as a libertarian I dont support drug laws period. As an adult that has had issues with ADD and hyperactivity since childhood, I truly believe cannabis can help and has hleped me be more balanced and effective. On the other hand, I agree with him about young people, and in my personal case, I think I would be a more intelligent, successful person today if I would have chosen to try pot for the first time in my 20s rather than in 8th grade
Yeah same - I think it's waaay too easy for teenagers to become preoccupied with pot, happened to me too. The fact it's illegal provides that rebellious allure
@@ahklys1321 very true.....in my adult life, booze has done more damage to me though.
Libertarians are really just Republicans who smoke weed.....thats literally it.
Who are you to tell young people what they can and can’t do?
@@Soccrboi Im not trying to tell anyone what they can or cant do, Im just saying that looking back, I think it would have been better if I had waited till I was a full blown adult to try pot.
Let freedom of choice to the consumer. The state shouldnt tell you what you can take or dont.
I love how he thinks every child just gonna be walkin round stoned af if marijuana becomes recreationally legal.
He doesn't. If you follow Ron you know he uses "common sense" much more than a typical republican. He is simply acknowledging making Marijuana legal would have pros and cons, which is a fair point.
Is that really what u got out of that? Says a lot about how u view politics I think. Highly hyperbolizing what somebody said into something come play different is a dangerous way of thinking in the long run
the way he says 'we gotta listen to the voters but only on certain issues' says a lot

Why’s he talking about children smoking it? Classic Republican distraction.

@@Bipbop66 💯
@@Bipbop66 The will of the people in Florida is that they want weed. Respect that.
Actually the voters in some states have voted NO to recreational pot.
When the initiatives wording was changed years later to "Do you want medicinal pot", the people said YES ...
Why wasn't the question asked "Do you want the right to grow it in your garden" (as it grows in nature) 😉 because unfortunately govts want to control everything.
@@dragonflarefrog1424
FYI ~ They voted YES for medicinal version, not the recreational version... There's a difference.
Will any doctor in todays age, prescribe hard liquor and tobacco cigarettes? Is hard liquor and tobacco legal without prescription?
If alcohol and tobacco are legal and you don't need a prescription, then cannabis should obviously be legal for adults.
Nicotine causes cancer, Cannabis treats cancer.
As an ex smoker, that shit eventually takes over your life unsuspectingly. Had homies who thought they had controll and it eventually led to wanting a better high. Shit left me without drive or purpose and eventually forced myself to quit. It was cool and had some good moments, but damn does it dull you out after awhile
Thank you for your honest statement. I wish more people would be this honest about it
That’s on you bro. We shouldn’t ban shit just cause people are stupid
@@apesecks8404 there are many things which need to be banned cause people’s stupidity ends up hurting others and their community
@@apesecks8404 bro, I never said ban it, I'm just stating shit that alot of ex smokers have come to realize. It's easy to overlook the negatives of something when it gives you an escape and a form of pleasure. It's like a toxic relationship, you don't realize how messed up it was until you get out of it
You say that as if your experience will be the same for all people. For a lot of people, mariujana helps with focus, motivation, creativity and more. I had stopped smoking weed in my early 20s, 'cause I just wasn't enjoying it anymore, so I easily just stopped consuming it. Five years later, I started smoking again and my quality of life started improving when I started started using the drug to its advantages. Works better than any pill could. But again, that's just me.
They need to do away with alcohol. I'd rather be around a stoned person than a drunk person.
Does he not know how easy it is for kids to get alcohol?
He knows he just acts stupid
It will actually make it harder for the parents because you are making it hard for the parent to get their Herb…….Stop using children as a shield for your indifference to the actual American family…
They still going to smoke!😂
Lmao u think getting caught gon stop someone from smoking 😂 I been caught before and I still smoke.
@@aft5264 Same😂
@@aft5264 I just live in a state where it's legal and they don't care
I don’t use marijuana but I feel it should be 100% legal and growing everywhere it is not ok for people to tell you that you cannot use a plant!
Who ever said anything about making it available to young people? Like alcohol is okay, much better, and like we all know is not available to kids. Seem Mr. Ron would much rather support crime, a criminal black market and police/prison state, costing taxpayers billions of non productive tax dollars. Can Mr. Ron, or any of his colleagues even say why the marijuana is illegal?
What he means is an age limit just like alcohol becuase kids are more likely to abuse it . im all for weed but i dont want my kids smoking it like i did . i over did it . what that means is if they get caught with it not likely they will go to jail but will be ticketed . just like alcohol got to be responsible.
Yeah because there isnt still a black market in Colorado at all right? muppet
@firstname lastname
Are you assuming.
Do you have proof FL goes after users instead of the pushers..?
If they want stricter drug laws why can't they move to Russia?
He says he doesn't want to allow recreational marijuana because he doesn't like its putrid smel. But yet all you have to do is just make a law like no smoking in public areas, just like some drinking laws and problem solved.
He didn't say that in this video.
He's pro Medical Weed anti Recreational but he's not gonna get in the way of the cash flow. Same attitude the new right seems to have towards it.
So if we vote in recreational marijuana and right to grow, is he gonna fight it tooth and nail or no?
He will. Kristi noem form South Dakota. That supposedly said she trust the health and freedoms of her people. But then again when November came and recreational was on the ballot, majority of the people voted for it. And she sued and tried to put a stop to it. And she admitted that this wasn’t part of our freedoms. So as of now, the ballot was vetoed!
If alcohol is legal so should marijuana
Republicans missed big by not being the party to push marijuana legalization.
I feel lucky to live in Florida. I feel like Ron's got my back. He's on the side of the hard worker who takes due dilligence in everything they do. If I lived in Portland or any liberal hellhole, I would feel like the governor was against me and FOR the thugs. Ron is what a governor should be, Ted Wheeler is prime example of how to NOT be
Stay in Florida while it turns into a fascist hell hole.
DeSantis postures like he's a populist but he's just an establishment Republican who is really good at the culture war theatrics like kidnapping migrants and attacking trans kids.
The government has no business outlawing something simply no worse than alcohol.
Meatball
I hate Trump but goddamn that is a good nickname..... Meatball Ron
Audio only on left side.
How would it make it harder for parents when you have to be 21 to go into a dispensary and every one I’ve been in scans your id. I get tired of people using their kids as an excuse to limit adult behavior like marijuana usage
I could buy weed from like 10 different people in highschool (2006) but booze was near impossible to get my hands on until I was a senior and even then... Pretty hard to get.
Now with weed legal and stores everywhere I don't even know a single dealer anymore
conservatives want "parental responsibility" but then as soon as there is talk about legalizing drugs it's " we need the government to babysit the children". maybe parents should prevent their kids from "easy access" to adult activities, which in itself is a straw man because, as mentioned above, dispensaries are some of the most secure businesses that card every person that enter, and they have multiple controlled access doors
Wont someone think of the children?!!?!!
Lol duh bc when it becomes legal it will be more available to everyone. It trickles down. You have to be 18 or 21 to buy vape pens, 40% of high schoolers vape regularly, and that’s and old stat. Probably more than that now. You’re so busy trying to disprove desantis you lost your common sense! Common, man!
@@tconyt8373 the exact same argument is true for alcohol or guns. It's people commiting crimes by selling weed to minors, or any other age controlled substance/object. There is no way for minors to acquire legal weed. Why do you want to burden law abiding citizens that participate in the legal weed market? Enforce selling weed to minors laws that are already on the books
This is one issue that we disagree, governor. Just make it federally legal!! This is just stupid. Nobody should be going to jail for a half ounce of weed.
Exactly! That’s one of the reasons why I left! I used to get a lot of headaches and several migraines each month. But since I live in Illinois now, I hardly have any migraines anymore, and I have 1 headache every month or so, instead of having them half of the month! I hated being on a bunch of prescription pills. And sometimes I wouldn’t take them, because I didn’t want my body to be relying on medication.
Marijuana creates jobs but the governor thinks if you smoke it you won't get a job this makes no sense to say it's both a pathway to success and a grim reaper of it. Just ignore recreational states everyone voting next year. They aren't making bank according to this dude.
You know what's really bad for your kids? Foreign wars and joining the military at 18.
Joining the military at 18 is a good thing, stable career and it builds character.
You could die at any job 🤷
Ron I'd vote for you if you didn't miss the boat on this issue.
More violent and nonviolent crimes are committed on alcohol.
Just lost my vote
He doesn't seem very smart, even though he's supposed to be
Kids can get drugs whether they are legal or illegal
He makes a good point, i started smoking when i was 14, i stopped when i was 21. The absolute damaged to my desistion making and my memory has been irreversible.

I agree, I didn’t smoke Mary Jane until I had a bad horse ridding accident that put me in Kessler institute with a MTBI, my Doctor gave it to help with the nausea and I learned the history of how Harry Anslinger Villainized and slandered Marijuana, to grow his power, office, and budget. Just like a Bureaucrat.

I smoke everyday and I agree with him.

don’t legalize it and the kids won’t smoke it. Right. Works every time.

He's not a bad dude. I like him, if it wasn't for him we'd be like California right now which is still partially shut down iirc.
But Gov. Ron DeSantis and state Senate President Wilton Simpson, both Republicans, have said they were against legalization.that why we r so back in the stone age we need to legalize it now for the people of fla this guy only cares about politics
it's a plant 🌿 that grows naturally, it's not poisonous, and it's free to use, at least it was till govt decided to manage it and make profit. It's not just a DeSantis issue.
Yet the federal government still lists it as illegal ~ go pick on them.
You want to be a pothead so bad go to colorado, nobody is keeping you here, or would you rather line John Morgan's pockets?
Why would anyone want to legalize govt formulated and controlled pot..? That's a bad idea only sheeple fall for...
Stop following the will of the people. You’re supposed to follow the will of god
He is strong ANTI-CANNABIS now.
I think it is stunting certain individuals growth as a person, if smoking weed is your personality you have a problem just like alcohol.
Smoking weed is a problem? I have smoked for 20 years everyday, has not stunted anything, I am the lead engineer at my company (a company that you know) and have never ran into any cognitive issues. However like you said, weed can affect certain individuals differently but that should not be my "problem".
Ignorant fool, alcohol has destroyed people far worse.
I respect his view but I disagree. By his logic alcohol, videogames, and movies should be banned.
His view should not be respected. No one was talking about giving weed to children and that’s what he’s implying.
My thoughts exactly it's not all good but it's not all bad either. Kids shouldn't be using it but grown adults should have a choice if they want to smoke just like they have a choice to drink or not.
Only because you have to buy weed the same way you buy other drugs
@Jim by that logic, so does water and milk, sugar and alcohol, and cigarettes, as most people try alcohol or cigarettes before cannabis, realise one's better than the others, then realise the better one is illegal, and stop trusting the government and their laws on what you should and should not injest, thus once again, as usual, laws cause all crime, and exacerbate the problem which is not understood by it's opposers.
It's easy to be conservative if you're completely ignorant, then once you learn a little you become more liberal; by definition, as to learn anything you must enter the unknown, which is progression, then if you're fearful regarding your experiences or perceptions, you will become overly overtly conservative again, who scared you? what are you scared of?
@Jim lol... actually alcohol usually leads to drug use. Also a lot of the crap doctors give for pain leads to hard drugs as well. You need to get educated on marijuina and how it actually is safer than alcohol or pills that are given to us. Weed can and is used for majority of ailments plus it can be used recreationally without worry of overdose.
@Jim nictone vape is way 100 times worse than doing weed
Weather the marijuana proponents want to admit it or not when you smoke marijuana or if you use the chemical for pain you will find out that you get uncontrollable vomiting hyperemesis is a syndrome that goes right along with it if you know someone that's using it and there's throwing up all the time they should not be on the stuff I totally disagree with the use of marijuana for any purpose there are many other fine alternatives out there absolutely is not needed and it is too highly risky with other drugs.
If it gives you hyperemesis just quit smoking it... Not to mention only a small portion of people who regularly use cannabis develop CHS.
Will of the voters, got to love that.
What a canard, "young people".
I presume any recreational marijuana legislation work include an age restriction, almost certainly 21.
It's dishonest. It seem like it's opening it to 12-year-olds.
Imagine living in a state without recreational marijuana lmao 🤣
But alcohol which is poison is fine.
#legalizemarijuana
No gross.
Best Governor in my past 20 yrs
What a way to be a slice in between to keep him rich and happy to all his colleagues and constituents
He is following the constitution as he should. Not trying to control it but allowing us to decide and vote. It's a great thing.
Mj should be like medicine you can’t just walk up and buy any pills that can be abused and they already make thc pills because of how they know the benefits are far too important to ignore in the right circumstances that being said it should be easy to access and cheap for those who need it
Same with alcohol and tobacco. They need to be prescription only.
@@FusionDeveloper honestly yes but that’s something that we are working twards with tobacco and they already tried it with alcohol but because of how easy it is to make but also necessary it is as an ingredient in Normal products people would poison themselves and if they drank anything the government put out as a trap to see who was breaking the law they would poison themselves badly and hurting people is a lot worse than them leading self control which most people have with alcohol because of how unpleasant the side effects are
Ron you gotta respect the will of the voters on the medical side and on the recreational side. We aren't subjects. You are better than any Democrat but stop being afraid to let people be free it's a big mistake.
So why don’t you let people vote on abortion rights?
I think this is a good discussion. Would we rather have kids smoking weed or getting drunk? (Although they will probably do both regardless). Many people I know have tried it but a lot of them just didn’t like it and quit, with no long term effects. Some people click with it, like me, but I seem to be able to be productive. There’s also studies suggesting that the cannabinoid system in our bodies repair itself fully after 30 days after no use, regardless of how much a given person has been using it for.
Weed.
I'd rather my kid not do any drugs at all.
@@angelicearthling yeah but when you lid turns into a functioning independent adult they are going to have a glass of wine with dinner and maybe even a joint, if you can own a gun, fight and die for your country, vote, drink, then you should be able to get high off a legal controlled substance
@@novatryxward9372 yes, when they're an adult...not a child. When they're children, you can control if they smoke pot or drink. Just be a responsible parent and know where your kid is going, what they're doing etc.
I think weed should be legal by the way..that wasn't what I was posting about. I just don't understand people who start saying.. "I'd rather my kid smoke pot than get drunk". How about be a parent and make sure your kid isn't doing either?? Same with smoking cigarettes.
People smoking weed in Florida will be smoking it if it's legal or illegal.
Very honest and realistic take. Winning me back over to the red slowly but surely.
So because he can speak well in a video from 4 years ago where he didn't even do what he said he was gonna do here, you're gonna join the trickle up party of theocrats?
@@Rob_Cary someone is triggered easily
It is not illegal to buy alclad pots and pans at Costco in California! It is not weed! It is an American manufactured product!
HE WILL NEVER GET MY VOTE
Weed makes musicians succeed though, make it legal for them.
And that was the deciding moment I was never gonna be a Desantis supporter. Marijuana should be made legal across the board.
I love the double entendre of this video’s title 😂 Ron Desantis on Marijuana would be hilarious
@CENK right!!!!??? see more double entenre cuz ur name is Cenk lol
Nah, Ron DeSantis is so whack that he’s probably capable of killing his own high
He’s on something
Lol that’s funny stuff 😂😂😂
Dude’s the man…won FL by biggest republican margin in their history…and who says whack anymore?
