  1. See, this is something that the right needs to get past. Conservatives, liberals, rich, poor, black, white… everybody smokes weed. No, it will not kill you and while I do agree that it should be regulated, I absolutely feel the damage inflicted by the draconian laws regarding marijuana and thr fact that people sit in prison for years of a plant is ridiculous… attach a fine structure for anyone under the age if 21 caught with it, and beyond 21 do what you want… either we believe freedom or we dont…

  2. Just from a political perspective, we are really missing the opportunities with marijuana. I am on a number of forums that talk about medical (and recreational) marijuana and most there are liberals. They take every opportunity to bash republicans on their stance. I am not saying our side should just give in to get votes. BUT if our republican politicians looks at where their data is coming from and in some cases how long that data has been in place and is therefore WAY outdated, we would change our opinions.

    I would also point out the hypocrisy of not wanting marijuana to be legal but they all have alcohol routinely. We should point out the stats on people who drink and jump off balconies, or drink and crash cars, or drink and kill others in violence or accidents.

  3. NOT THE MARIJUANA.. ITS THE CONCENTRATED OILS..SHATTER, DABS. SEEN SOME PEOPLE GET …AIR HEADED, SPACED OUT, AND WANTING TO PARTAKE ALL DAMN DAY. GET VERY LAZY…..

  4. I'm a user of marijuana because I choose to instead of the numerous amount of pills prescribed for my massive stroke I suffered. I have a medical card. So bud is not the gate way to other drugs, it's the person's desire to get higher.

  5. I don't smoke marijuana anymore but I personally don't think anything is wrong with it, especially when there are way more dangerous drugs out there that have killed people and should be eradicated! So I'm not against medical marijuana or recreational marijuana use

  6. I agree with Rep Matt Gaetz…I used medical marijuana in both California and Colorado…I suffer from extreme PTSD and it has helped me immensely…I have no intention of jumping off a bridge or suicide nor anything else stupid…It’s calm and relaxing for me…

  7. I believe legalizing marijuana in my opinion is detrimental to kids and people who use this plant, But as long as people do not abuse it im fine, due to the bible saying if you are using the plants for the purpose it is given, its acceptable.

  8. Edible cookies have nothing to do with marijuana being used in the medical field 🤦🏾‍♂️… whoever ate a whole edible cookie and jumped off a building was terribly inexperienced…

  9. Ive been smoking for 20 years and never smoked so much i wanted to harm myself or others, never been so stoned that i was out of my mind even in the beginning days. I just get hungry and pass out. But it does help with my pain, depression and bipolar….

  11. I smoke weed like crazy for 13 years of my life then I grew up and became a man! 99.9% of people who smoke weed will be losers in life because it's a loser lifestyle! That is the biggest side effects of smoking marijuana people get stuck they're doing the same thing today that they was doing 10 years ago and they'll be doing the same thing 10 years from now. Just stuck! If everybody smokes weed the future is going to be like that movie Idiocracy. Lol. The world after Stoners have kids with each other and raised there kids to be Stoner adults that have stoner kids. I say let them have it let smoke the shit. When marijuana is legalized everywhere every company will drug test and we'll get all the good paying jobs and have the good life and you know natural selection type stuff.

  12. I’m from Washington State. It’s legal here. You have to be 21 to purchase it, so NO it’s not killing children. Irresponsible parents are to blame if their children get ahold of it. Prosecute them.
    If your job restricts marijuana use then obey or look for another job. Driving while high is treated the same as drinking and driving. I just turned 60 and smoked pot growing up. When pot shops first opened I purchased some and some edibles, (that contain a regulated amount of thc). I’d rather eat a marijuana brownie/ cookie, or hard candy than smoke it. I don’t shop for it anymore. It’s no big deal and it doesn’t lead to dangerous drugs.
