Legalize it! It’s what the people want
Vote out the people that don’t represent the people !!! Legalize cannabis stop these genocide on the people ✌️🫡🌱💯 I’m a colomboamerican citizen and no one is worth my vote 🗳 that’s why im a independent voter. but Nancy, my modo is I’ll fight for your cause but I will not die for it. Here is the outlier when thousands or people can have a Better,longer, easier quality of live these includes me ☝️
Democrats want everyone they can get on drugs that way they think they will vote for them
Would be great to have her in N.C. but it's good to see a politician in S.C. fighting for this being both N.C. and S.C. are still illegal. If S.C. goes legal N.C. probably will too being we'd be surrounded north by Virginia and south S.C. It's still only a matter of time. The cannabis industry makes too much money now to ignore forever.
IT WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE our economy.
Good grief. No-one is saying they want to sit right next to you and blow pot in your face.
I hope they legalize it but it doesn't matter I'm going to smoke and have for 50 years FT.
Free the weed 🙏
Dear Art,
Thanks for stating the obvious. People shouldn't be blowing any type of smoke into anyone's faces.
Signed
The Obvious Police
PS We sincerely hope that this was not a disconnected mind dribble on why you believe that Marijuana doesn't have a place for recreational use.
I don't trust or believe anything from Nancy Mace…but it should be decriminalized:)
and it is time to screw over the wood and paper industry and make them repurpose their machines to make paper from marijuana
and use the existing drunk driving laws to deal with driving while on marijuana
What a racket. Pay money to go into a club which is allowed to sell pot. Who cares anymore? It's a plant. It grows naturally. Let it be a plant again. Why is it such an issue. Oh I forgot about the government needing to protect me.
This stuff comes up every time it's voting season.
personally, marijuana for this days its much worse than before, we can break this trend just legalizing it and controlling it
The real reason why Republicans don't want to jump on board with this is because they have deals with big pharmaceutical companies and they do not want to lose those deals Millions upon billions of dollars go into pharmaceutical drugs you think that's just going to go away when they know that marijuana can replace most of those Pharmaceuticals those companies are going to fight tooth and nail wake up America and understand plant has no harm to you but pills do
Legalize marijuana would save a lot of problems
❤️❤️❤️👑
Legalize and decriminalize nation wide !!!
( FREE TEXAS ✌ )
👍 We need her in Texas 👍
we are pathetic. So far behind on so many issues. Cannibis should've been legal 25 years ago. well I've been saying since I was 15. 5 more years. it's been 25.
too many old people run congress and according to florida math book statistics old people most likely to be bias.
Kamala wont like that.
Should’ve never been illegal
This is GOP BS at its finest. The fact is that Democrats and blue states had led cannabis reform (as well as ending GOP’s War on Drugs) is missing here. This Republican advocating for MORE GOVERNMENT by trying to institute a Federal framework that will OVERRIDE the Sovereignty of States. Talk about a 180 (degree turn).
The majority of Americans want cannabis legalized so our representatives are not representing us. Politicians vote on what they are paid to vote on. Cannabis was made illegal with BS propaganda spread by the government. All drugs should be legal we waste millions upon millions chasing "new" scary drugs. I would like to have all politicians do a drug test I am sure the results would be more than interesting.
Give me back my 5 years u took from my childhood over marijuana… I was just tryin to help the people.
State laws are just dumb. Take gun restrictions, criminals in IL go to WI to guy guns, then bring them into Chicago.
