  1. IT PASSED 🍃 🔥 🎉 🎈 SPARK IT UP AMERICA 🇺🇸

  2. I think what's holding up federal legalization up is old frumpy or "Trumpy" Republican politicians over age 50. Gee, I wonder how many of them have stock in "Big Pharma? There are just as many Republican's under 50 as Democrat's that want to see Marijuana federally legal. It's time for GOP to start listening to the American people and give us what we want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. The whole thing is ridiculous. Taxing something that grows in the ground

  4. Smoking tobacco kills 500,000 people every year because it saves social security and creates tax revenue.

  5. We need it full recreational in all 50 states period! more then half Americans want it so why not? It's time to get rid of tobacco and bring in cannabis. It's not like most people in every state arent already smoking it I mean it's ridiculous legalize it already

  6. I want the usa government to forcely other nations to follow suits this new ruling

  7. If they use it as a opportunity to tax the hell out of it the black market will remain and thrive.

  8. Just legalize it already! This is ridiculous! Enough is enough! It is 2022!

  9. The only Drug that will get Yu high is PORN

  10. legalize it already!!!

  11. They need to legalize 100%. Ages 21 + should be able to grow up to 10 plants

  12. Tomato tamato potatoe patatoe blow weed smoke like there's no tomorrow.

  13. Why do Republicans vote for 🤡 that are against them? 193 voted against this Bill and I bet you will vote for them again. 🐑

  14. 193 Republican 🤡 voted against this bill

  15. What an April fools joke.

  16. They want to sedate us before they pull the rug out from under us.

  17. You also have to think about the protection for these companies and small businesses because we're taking money straight out if the cartels wallet by the legalization of weed. We need protection and security, so those DEA jobs really don't die; they just have a new mission.

  18. now go check to see which stocks congress and the Senate are buying.

  19. Time to invest baby let the green flow get this economy rolling!

  20. just glad this didn't come out today

  21. Evil marajuana will drag you down to the devil. You’ll be consumed by the dark, malevolent, macabre forces of “your time”. A spinning, dark cloak will cover those that imbibe. …..doode..this isn’t a four way hit of windowpane on my eyeball. I’m 63!!!!!. Lighten up! LOL!

  22. Will truck drivers be able to smoke now?

  23. Sounds good but its not they are going to decriminalize it to the medical level so the government can tax you more and its not going to be weed you can smoke its going to be like a pill this just sucks bad

  24. H.R 3617 (MORE ACT) passed the house today with a vote of 220 – 204 – Three Republicans (Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) and Brian Mast (R-Fla.)) joined all but two Democrats in voting for the bill. It seems to be a really partisan issue so if you've got a Republican senator call them & let them know their constituents support the bill.

  25. We don't need Canada to supply America with Pot! Sell it to. Your Mother England!! LGBFJB!

  26. It's well-past the time to legalize weed…stop feeding the cartels and help the people instead

  27. Then the farmers can start growing hemp to make all kinds of paper products and clothing will never have to chop another tree down to make paper because they can grow two crops of hemp every year the end of deforestation of the planet they should have been doing this decades ago

  28. We know why it's so effective. Because of the propaganda campaign by these CEOs and Libbyist. It's all about money. It's never ever about health or medicine.

  29. Tilray is a crappie company! Why would you even talk to them

  30. I'm as conservative as they come weed should be legal period

  31. It needs to be legalized, I would much rather buy some weed from a dispensary than buy it off of the street and worry about it being laced with fentanyl

  32. A real stay at home at election time move

  33. It's about dam time I'm tired of worrying about having weed on me

  34. I hope it becomes legal in all states. I'm sick of having to travel to my nbr state to get some
