  1. Ask not what your rest home can do for you but rather what you can do for your rest home. 5 star joint 3 star service. Go home to your mother at the holiday in. Don’t forget doughnuts. Evacuations. Inspections. Psychiatric evaluations. Trouble in the sewers. What happened. Who did it. Not because it is easy. . . But because it is hard. . . We choose to go to the moon . . . To be continued. . . I hear sad piano

  2. I support free market and I'm very anti wealth redistribution and pro constitution. That being said I am very pro marijuana legalization. It's so helpful for people with anxiety and pain. It'll create jobs. Don't really care about the tax portion. I feel like how much they want to tax and where the money goes is the snag that will keep this bill from passing the senate. If they plan to remove control away from federal level then why are they even considering a federal tax…..just leave it up to the states to figure out how to benefit from it.

  3. End the oppression and tyranny, the hypocracy around our laws we shouldn't even b talking about this 10 yrs after Colorado, it's f..ing rediculous, legalize recreational weed for all the states already 🐯

  4. another reason to get rid of republicans. how do we do it? we get quality public education, preschool through post grad, in place. i really like the Finland model, no homework yet Finland places in the top three countries in education. if all citizens knew how to use logic and understood the basics of science we wouldn't have president donnies. as it is we'll for sure have more and worse president donnies.

  5. 35 republicans didn't vote so 40 were not opposed to the bill. If the Senate votes on it would pass. Donald Trump legalized (hemp) cannabis in 2018 ,and would legalize the rest for states to decide.

  6. Republicans are full of it, this whole year they didn’t believe in the pandemic. Now all of the sudden they’re screaming, “Oh we have more important legislation to look at”. The whole Republican party is a joke.

  7. Naturally senate will not let We The People that pay them have what they want legalized. Enough already. It would mean jobs and no new taxes so of course they will say no. Vote them out.

  8. Congress finally did it after 83 years huh? It will probably not get through the Senate, some dinosaur will stop it. I personally don't really care, I've been using cannabis for 42 years, I don't need the government's permission, they can kiss my ass.

  9. Now, more than likely, later, that would be in cakes, bread, drinks, salad! What else, since we call it a herb, and it is recreational! What antidote, is there for the recreational man, who uses, (smokes it, and also takes alcohol!) Furthermore, individuals soak marijuana, in 100 % alcohol proof rum! Later, reward becomes kidney failure! Where does easing up on society's craving, and leaders submission into habits, lead? The more man gets, the more he seeks! When, the herb does not give, an "enough high", what next? We have to be real! Do we then say, oh, well, we will make more money, of the health issues, and so would the funeral homes! Then too, don't worry, we will pick up the homeless "zombies", of the street! We pray!
    ********Prayer*****
    God! Please, help nations, with the way, they treat social issues! God, more so hopefully they focus on their realistic actions, to cure the substance abuse, the malady, eating away, at citizens intellect! Lord rule tjem, into not saying, that is ok, robuts, could do man's work, when personality changes, and traits reveal, individuals, cannot stay, on task! Next, lung transplant, would flourish, too! Sensible God, direct our leaders, in the right direction, (*verses the easy, outlet, the quick fix! Good, God, let them also pursue, and maintain, scientific **post survey of use* (side effects!) Again, Lord, let 10% of each sale, go towards rehabitation centres, (**for those hooked on same!**) Now, prevent (**the illegal drugs man**), has a vehicle, to lace marijuana, with higher addictive substances, (**like cocaine, crack, and "fentanyl"! Lord, the answer to all problems, seem to be, when it gets out of control, and there are too many cases, to handle, in court, let us find an avenue, to ease up our work, to focus on more serious issues! Guaranteed some, of ?not too many issues, or enough, stem ftom the decoy! Strengthen Lord, fanilies, who, likewise, would feel the significant, wicked brunt, of upcoming diseases, (**common substance abuse,**) related to "RRECRETIONAL HERBS"! Amen!

  10. Keep our future electorate depressed and un-educated through school closures while legalizing ways to keep adults drunk, stoned, and without hope – make them all like little birds who can not take care of themselves without federal big brother handouts – then remove the ability to defend against peaceful looters with LEGAL gun confiscations(see Beto) & our defunding of police will remove whats left of hope for law and order.
    Get ready for a progressive liberal return to the fundamental change un-finished during Obama/Biden – get ready – especially those "who cling to guns and Bibles". This is the virtual liberal utopia vision they have always wanted, or at least a glimpse of the begining of their end to unrestrained freedom – all of U.S. regulated into their vision of our submission.
    Get ready for the re-run of excuses while embracing the not so shovel ready jobs – get ready for the return to lowering expectations while we watch our investigative media cut Biden's meat for dinner every night until they feel Kamala is ready.
    The statue of Justice is no longer blindfolded in their world vision and they have some scores to settle now – just let them to do as they please and they will leave your family alone….. or suffer their wrath of blacklistings.

  11. Yep, reverse Nixon's schedule one classification for marijuana. That puts it in the same category as heroin and cocaine. Those are considered to be of no medical value or application. With a high chance of developing an addiction to it as well. Remove it from that category and it loses its illegality. Legalizing it means that it can be sold to anyone over 18. It has many legalisms to adhere to regarding the sale and distribution of it. Not to mention the state and feds heavily tax it. So, it's a big windfall for states to legalize it and sell it. Extra revenue in the form of weed taxation? Gorgeous! Everyone wins. Prior felony drug charges involving pot can be expunged as soon as it's legalized or decriminalized. And it's a far more innocuous drug than alcohol. No cops are ever called to a domestic fight involving weed. Never ever. Nope, it's always alcohol related. I trained as an officer. There's no lethal dose for it. Alcohol? Hell yeah it kills. In too many ways to list here. MJ is most assuredly a medication too. As a pain reliever it is much better than typical pharma pain pills. Those jam your intestines and have acetaminophen. That particular drug is really tough on the liver. When folks overdo it a bit on the vicodin, it destroys the liver because of aspirin toxicity. Weed as something to help you sleep?, much better than ambien or lunesta. It's natural and green, What's not to like?

  12. Marijuana is an addictive drug.
    Being addicted for many years and lying to myself because of the so called “evidence” that it does No Harm.

    I challenge all recreational users to stop smoking for more than a month.
    If you cannot then you’re addicted.
    If you relapse, you’re addicted.
    If you feel a need for it, you’re afflicted.
    If you’re more anxious or depressed without it, you’re addicted.

    The fact that marijuana does NOT damage your brain is false. There is new evidence showing correlation to drug abuse, harmful brain effects, and depression/anxiety among individuals that use marijuana recreationally.

    I’ve lived it. I’ve experienced it for over 10 years. Wake up and realize that These agencies promoting propaganda are biased and harming you.

    WAKE UP SOCIETY. Don’t let your lives suffer due to their negligence.

    Work hard, deal with your struggles apart from drugs and alcohol. Build yourself up without those dependencies and I promise, in time, you will succeed if you have the will.

  13. This topic should not
    Be a hot priority. Jobs,
    Housing, wages, the
    Fight against corruption, education.
    Laws that limit Business firms owning
    More than one dispensary. From what
    I have seen the dispensaries are not
    That familiar with the
    Complete knowledge
    Of Cannabis. Experience fills the Cash
    Register. I am looking for a place in the industry. From growing
    To trimming to distribution. Following
    The laws in place to the (T). 19 years of
    Age is a sellable age.
    21 years old even
    Better. J. Patric.
