This dude is such a square. There’s no difference between drugs and alcohol. I take it back weed is way safer. If you really care about the people let’s talk about opioids…
They want to monopolise before they legalize. But all these companies will go bankrupt in the future when everyone grows their own. So don't invest too much. Unless a company actually makes a medecine. Investing in grows is a bust. Most commercial growers grow trash. Marinol is a prescription drug with THC extracted from the cannabis plant.

I'm a big proponent of legalizing weed, but I gotta say, this man speaks quite rationally. Tobacco used to be advertised as healthy too. I'm not saying that weed is unhealthy, but yeah – we should be careful and maybe some more regulations are needed.
Let's be honest here… non of that tax money is going to be used to benefit minorities. It will only benefit white people. Also, just because something is less harmful doesn't mean it has to be legalized. Do I believe alcohol and tobacco should be legal? No. Would I still use alcohol or tobacco? Yes. Weed has not been legalized because its a natural crop that ANYONE can produce anywhere unlike alcohol and tobacco so legalizing it will not benefit the white government. Only reason I would agree on legalizing it is to reduce the black arrest rates over white arrest rates related to weed.
It’s weird how the guy acknowledges the fact weed has been around for ages and doesn’t seem to have caused any harm in that time (since the 70s he says) but yet 6 years is not enough time? I think the last 50 years have given enough data just legalise it for gods sake
I feel like if people want to smoke it let them, if they don’t they won’t but it’s not fair how privileged people get to do what they want and people in other states have to suffer how is that fair?
My man is acting like hash just got invented. Concentrates have been around for over eleven hundred years. Just because your grandparents were smoking Reggie in the 70s doesn’t mean good weed wasn’t available.
My main issue with people who are marijuana-enthusiasts is that they don't admit that weed could even be potentially harmful.
And here's the thing, I'm FOR legalization, but weed advocates don't help by 1. often being stoners themselves most of the time, thereby giving themselves a bad reputation and 2. being completely optimistic about marijuana use instead of having a more open-minded, moderate view like I'm trying to have.
I've used CBD often, but I know that too much of it can give you bad anxiety (like it did for me) and heck, one day I was even high off of it at work. It was a horrible high, too. But yeah, I'm a believer that if it's abused, it could certainly have bad effects on your brain.
We should use weed for health reasons, not to be getting stoned.
That guy is a literal joke you can tell he is butt hurt because it’s legal in his state..what’s funny is alcohol is 10xs worse than marijuana yet alcohol is consumed by tons of kids under the age..this guy is spewing bogus facts to make marijuana seem worse than what it really is. This guy just needs to stop talking, quit his job, and go work at a McDonald’s because he is wasting our time
I live in Colorado each county can choose weather or not they want to allow recreational marijuana.
All that I have been to are locally owned so I don’t know what this guy is talking about big Pharma. They are small business is just like any other business that is not a corporation. It’s not their fault they’re selling something that everybody wants. Guys it’s not just minorities everybody goes to the shops OK doesn’t matter where they’re located if you want weed and you have to drive you’re going to drive and you’re going to get it. I don’t know what world this guy is living in but he’s wrong.
Whatever. Pharmacological Determinism. People have been conditioned to believe that cannabis will do this or that. It’s an outdated form of thinking.
If cannabis is a major source of revenue for Mexican cartels doesn’t it make sense to legalize it so a black market won’t exist on the scale it does?
Yeah, we have moonshine, which can be dangerous, but instead we have the liquor store which is stocked with product we can trust and consume in confidence
Yes we need to be careful and pay attention to the new research that comes out but the fact of the matter is adults should be able to choose what they put into their body! Especially when it's less harmful than other legal substances
you can see the anger in her eyes while he's talking
That guy was paid to say that
Wow that guy sounds like he's from the 30s
He probably think we should not have TVs and video games. Maybe he can come over and wipe my ass
The more sobriety there is in a society the better

Marijuana has been MEDICALLY used for 12,000 years. 12,000. It was criminalized for political and White Supremacist purposes less than 130 years ago.
Thers a MacDonald's on every corner in low economic areas because its all about profits
Theyre just reading from a teleprompter.. wake up people. Our government isn't who they say they are.
It needs to be legalized. But it needs to be legislated properly

Delegates of the Democratic National Committee voted DOWN a proposal to include the federal legalization of cannabis in the party’s 2020 platform

weed need to be legalised in sweden

All drugs should be legal prohibition doesn’t work.
Get shat on luke

Marijuana is a pseudo high, there is no high like the most high.
6 years or 6000? We've been doing this for a while, what's new and untested is global governments that ignore the will of the people.
I feel like if people want to smoke it let them, if they don’t they won’t but it’s not fair how privileged people get to do what they want and people in other states have to suffer how is that fair?

It should be up to the voters in every state
In Norway ITS standard test. Along with alcohol… just swop Your mouth, does IT on the spot.
But yet big tobbacco and alcohol can have corner stores in the hood

Stop putting this poison into your body. You are turning our country into a bunch of drug addicts.
