Some Republicans in the Senate are joining in on support for a bipartisan bill that would expand banking services for legal marijuana businesses. NBC News’ Julie Tsirkin reports on how this could signal a shift towards legalizing marijuana at the federal level.

#Republicans #Marijuana #Legalization

That's concerning tbh. I like weed but I don't think it should be out to the public like that. Especially if Republicans think this is a good idea
Cannabis is the only thing that helps my seizures, it is medical. Any discrimination against cannabis is medical discrimination and violates the Disabilities Act.
The republicans are probably doing this to help support the many banks they are beginning to feel pain. A massive influx of cannabis cash would literally and figuratively ease their pain 😊
stop blaming us hardworking republicans this is a smear campaign at the same time. republicans are for marijuana trust me. "MODERN REPUBLICANS" not the ones from the fuckn 50's
The only reason I am watching this video is because I am high. Rofl
Should of been legal 2 decades ago. Pfff
Read Geniuses 1-9. It's a violation of the right to freedom of religion to ban people from any plant.
Ha you stupid monkeys I told y'all as a child. It's gonna increase moral, increase troop numbers, increase police first responder and federal jobs intake. It will ease many symptoms of depression from handicapped people and veterans with ptsd, as well cancer patients and people who just hate the fact that they can't control everything. I worked in places like Penmar where Harrison Ford crashed his plane and spoke to many rich republicans y'all were fake for not doing it sooner in CA knowing that they were all smoking in the golf course now when they were narcs then and they all agreed. Met a dude like Harvey who was Phill Spector's friend and we talked much on subjects as well enjoyed crued humour.
Fighting marijuana is a losing proposition. Too many states have legalized it. Invest in Doritos and cookies 😵💫😮💨
Politicians love the Money.
Yes it helps adults but it can ruin young teenagers lives. I vote no, keep it medical usd only.
Good. Now get the CDC to reverse legislation on opioid pain meds. People in constant pain shouldn't have to put their health at risk by alternating high dosages of ibuprofen and tylenol. When street opiates are the real issue. Overdose rates have not gone down since the severe overreach in 2016.
🖕🏼all politicians
🖕🏼all government controllers
🖕🏼all government employees
Whoa no way! Politicians motivated by money to pass legislation.
Oooooo Thank God you have no idea how much I hate dealing with drug dealers for marijuana!
It may seem like a small thing now but the Republicans finally embracing this is HUGE, they just got ALOT of votes!
Smart move, they may actually get some votes next election. I only vote blue because I want legal weed. If the right grows a brain and gets on board, I have no reason to vote against them.
I cant wait for all the studies to finally come in how this drug affects the heart.
Had it stayed illegal, guard wouldnt have come down. I wouldn't have two psych rotations and 3 heart attacks. So, smoke em if you got em but you wont br able to do anything else.
In Cali you can use credit card but it's not worth the extra cost
If Republicans push to legalize weed, I will not vote for Biden. If Republicans don't do that, I will dedicate my life to spread communism (North Korean kind, not the Marxist utopian kind)
The problem is the government took to long to take action on these restrictions on narcotic meds giving way for other countries to take action with chemical warfare. Yes it's world wat 3 and none of you see that. The price of marijuana is stupid no one wants to transition to weed when everything else is stronger and cheaper. Keep restricting us our meds and to the streets we go forget mmj it would be to expensive to medicate that way and look as you say no other countries give us what we need bad for us or not your destroying america by banning everything that we need and yes we do still get it and yes it will continue to destroy america. Make everything legal it would have to be a good price because weed isn't gonna do it for a almost paraplegic and hey who cares right well the problem is you don't care for us and want to throw Suboxone in our face. I don't care for that Suboxone stuff you need to loosen the restrictions on pain meds me personally would be better off with some weed and my meds but here we go Turing to other stuff thanks alot america
Free the weed and leave us be
God created an herb not a drug. He isn't a Sorceror.
It's about profit. Period.
Legalize it and get rid of that stupid, ridiculous high tax!
