  1. Now America's downfall is set in stone. We wait for when all americans are high on the streets for China, Russia and North Korea to invade.

  2. let our people out first before coming in like youve discovered gold, its been here.. been great… been healthy…they used it to get us out the way clearly to make all the money now smh …all these start ups in colorado cali ect no hustle or thought into it ask for good ole daddy money .. rich pot heads seem safer to america than black and mexicans

  3. Yeah now that the dollar is suffering it's nowwww time to allow cannabis legalization for "banking reasons" 😅😅😅

  4. WHO CARES WHAT TRUMPTY DUMPTY DID, HE IS GONE.

  5. It would help if restaurants offered marijuana on the menus

  6. It would help to have marijuana bars where we can get together and smoke the peace pipe

  7. New York and Montana should work together as to share the profits!!

  8. Legalizing Cannabis Nation wide would drastically reduce the crime rate in many areas. Make millions & millions of jobs. And add billions of dollars to the economy.. Its safer than alcohol.. legalizing its a no brainer.. and once you do, those in prison for drug offenses pertaining to Cannabis should be pardoned & freed..

  9. The other day I had to pay $24+ in federal, state & city taxes for $45 dollar 8th hitting the $70 dollar mark and it's all thanks to good ol Uncle Sam. 😒

  10. Dispenceries and the fed will become the cartels washing machine.

  11. It will save the federal debt. But the taxes on weed should help all food farmers in America.

  12. Don't do it when your money comes up missing don't say we didn't warn you

  13. the drug war created the cartel, heroin, fentanyl deaths etc stop getting in between man and the divine.

  14. Nice to see a republican saying things that make sense

  15. She looks like Georgia from Georgia & Ginny 😅

  16. They need to just de-list it. It should have never been a controlled substance.

  17. “super interesting question chuck”

  18. Finally. It is just ridiculous that the Fed would continue to drag their feet on this.

  19. It reminds of the news I saw about state where they legalize prostitution and there were streetwalkers walking around in daylight in front of elementary schools😂

  20. Legality and morality are the two very different things.

  21. That's insane, child molester rings could use the banks for human trafficking accounts before pot🧐🙄
