You should be able to buy cannabis at Walmart just like alcohol ☮️
Yup, dumb down more Americans so they vote for the Democrats and their failing policies.
The potheads will have nothing to whine about.
drunk impaired drivers kills families of five all the time….. and it's not even on the list. GOVT is in bed with the pharm companies and they don't want marijuana legal because it works and it will destory their profits. AND IT SHOULD!!!
legalize now! Reduce federal debt….new tax revenue stream. Come on hurry up…..
If weed is so great then why is everybody I know who binge smokes it complete re t ards?
Deschedule it.
NO MEDICAL USE SAYS BIG GOV
MEANWHILE: MAN FAMOUS FOR MARGARITAS DIES AT 76 WHILE TOMMY CHONG 85 AND WILLIE NELSON 90 ARE STILL HERE WITH US 😅 REMEMBER NO MEDICAL VALUE GUYS
Why would anybody listen to these ignorant mofos
You dont have to ease restrictions its not a secret that anyone can get a card doctors dont check for conditions people just go claim to have anxiety or something and get approved the majority of people on medical marijuana are just legalized stoners a lot of the medical marijuana is now being sold by street dealers who go buy all the stock then sell it on the corner at a higher price. All of this scam has caused prices to raise uncontrollably. I was hesitant to become a patient but after being denied pain treatment duento pill mills i had no choice the irony is this is a pill mill its run exactly the same way anyone can become a patient no proof needed.
I have non-epileptic seizures, cannabis is the only thing that helps. I use it medically. I count any discrimination against my seizure medication to be Medical Discrimination and a violation of the federal Disabilities Act. If someone says its not medical, I can demonstrate that it is. Convulsions and/or partial paralysis to functioning like a normal person, in a few seconds.
If I ever get cancer I'm going to buy some weed and OD on my own terms.
If cannabis users weren’t discriminated against I’d probably have a high level career, but they think it’s laziness 😂 whatever you want to believe mr government. Makes me love the slow downfall of this corrupt country.
They allow sh*tty Delta8, Delta11, HHC, etc which are all worse versions of the same thing & have barely been studied
So cmon, just decriminalize already. At least the real stuff has been studied long term! It’s definitely safe!
You should have been talking about this years ago. Our laws are so wrong they need to be done away with completely
That’s hilarious. Ketamine….is on the schedule 2 list huh? Wild. Just had a bunch of friends die from abusing that benign stuff.
How about they just make it 100% completely legal already….
Pot steals your ambition..
What a joke. I think they need a walk down Kensington Avenue to decide what needs to be legal and what not. Also making it so dangerous to do business in today's world doesn't make sense either. (Keeping it a cash business) I'm so sick of it…
Get all restrictions off. Restrict alcohol 🍸 how bout that.
It’s medicine
Sure as a young teen they can feed me with as much adderall as my teacher says I need, but smoke weed, no no no
This has inspired me to pack another bowl of fentanyl free home grown “Bruce Banner” thank you Virginia you got this one right 👍
The main thing is they're still trying to lock people up for it, that's the main drive to why it isn't completely legal but also isn't completely illegal, it's a "we'll let you have it but under certain conditions and quantities" sort of thing, in the long run it's going to end up shorting that market for legal reasons by making it almost inaccessible to the majority, it will take another 10 years or longer for them to decide to legalize because they have to fuel their incarceration and fines agenda instead of making money elsewhere
thats good Marijuana is an anointed healing herb found all over the bible shoudnt even be illegal. how you gonna abuse marijuana use too much you go to sleep. dont drive on it but its the reed, sweet cane sweet spice in the bible
It's not good enough.
The dea isn’t going to change anything, busting people with weed is their bread and butter..
