I don't smoke pot, buy I'm starting to like this law because it helps our school and state funded programs Also all the money that were taking away from the black market and drug cartles
Yes! Same. Here in Colorado a pure 67% of revenue goes to schools. That's the number after all the greasiness and pay outs other places. It's a lot of money for schools. Our Dui's are down as well.
Oh yeah no question, alcoholics actually suffer physical symptoms from alcohol withdrawal. And that shit just gets worse and worse with each withdrawal (look up "kindling", if you are curious), which can go as far as seizure and death. Also alcohol is just such an integral part of our culture, like can you imagine hanging out with a bunch people at a loud bar or party for like 8 hours (a whole working day) without a drop of alcohol? No, you need booze to get through those social occasions, especially since everyone else will be drinking. I mean have you ever tried to talk to drunk people sober? So once you are a bona fide alcoholic, your choices become a) keep drinking and potentially die from that, b) drink occasionally and risk more and more severe withdrawals and potentially die from that, c) stop drinking and must get through social situations completely unaided, or d) stop drinking and become a hermit. Don't get me wrong, alcohol is fun, but holy crap that stuff is dangerous as hell.
macsporan You're preaching to the wrong person cupcake. I'm a registered voter and have signed every ballot initiative that's gotten to the petition process in the last 8 years. It's easy enough to just assume that people in criminalized states aren't trying to pass legislation, but that's not the case.
No Marbles- you don't. I have been an organic superfoods grower for over 40 years and yes I really do know how harmful GMO's are. Maybe the most harmful element after nuclear. At least oil we can clean up after years. GMO's are the devils plaything. The people who make them are monsters. Are you a troll? You are a fan of GMO's why? Are you healthy?
Cordell C Idaho will be last, then Arkansas, then Alabama before that, that's how I see it going down. Here in Utah right now I have CBD wax I bought legally at a smoke shop.
Keep voting for religious frauds and you'll never get rec weed until a Progressive president and congress forces you to do the right thing just like gay marriage.
I don't smoke either but I pushed the legislation for it in Colorado. 67% of the tax revenue goes to our public schools, our Dui's are down, our opioids use is a very small number. It's a healing agent on society. So yes, thanks for doing that and voting.
bobby... If you are going to try and insult someone for being an idiot because they smoke weed... Try and get the right Tell in there. Important to the English Language there buddy. Also, its Lay Off the Weed. Not Laid off the week. Is there some sort of something you are taking too much of, or not enough of?
He has an Attorney General that thinks keeping marijuana illegal is his reason for being. They all pretend it's about health and community, etc. No, it's about the same 1% that just received a huge tax cut that will be paid for out of hard working American's social security and Medicare...they own our government and it's their profits that come before anything including the facts. Think of all the people that will lose money for this one law...from police departments that survive on the fines paid for minor marijuana charges to the auto manufacturers that have a number of cars that need to be sold (crashed/totaled and replaced) to maintain profits (not to mention all the parts that go on cars, insurance, courts, judges, attorney's, etc. etc. etc.) and private prisons and let's not forget the 2 big guys...pharmaceutical and alcohol manufacturers. It's all a big lie. Anything that is controversial over multiple administrations, decades without a resolution...there is a lie for profit somewhere in the mix.
Truth be told, I can't wait to see the libertarians (especially the ones in Big Pharma's pocket) reactions. A year from now, how much money will Big Pharma lose in sales?
Not included in the video but still ... If you can smoke pot legally it's not illegal or criminal anymore. No need for criminal gangs and they will lose a substantial part of their income, some more than others. Less criminals is less violence. Less violence is less overworked cops ... Also, I bet the for profit prisons do not see much value in this! :D
So now that weed is legal, there's probably going to be turf wars between the weed distributors & the tobacco & alcohol industry. This is gonna be an interesting fight.
I don’t smoke it cause I hate the smell but I voted yes on this because why should something that’s a plant be illegal not to mention it actually helps people with certain medical conditions. Smoke up guys. Maybe one day I’ll light one up on my day off.
greenghost2212 that's how my girl is man... it's the way they are raised to think it's bad when they don't know anything about it not throwing shade at you Taylor lol you should definitely try it ! promise you you'll be like wow
Chief Cano I said I don’t mind it I just don’t like the smell and it has nothing to do with how I was raised. I just don’t like the smell. End of story
greenghost2212 I wasn’t talking to you. I know different strands smell different my friends family has a store and I’ve smelled different types and I still don’t like the smell. It’s a personal thing and again, I just don’t like how it smells. End of story.
It is very expensive. Where it is illegal in the east coast like New York and Virginia it can be $150 for a 1/4 ounce. It was $50 an 1/8 of an ounce in the mid 1980's and $100 for 1/4 ounce. Now today it is about $200-240 per full ounce in Colorado. So that's half the price it was in the mid 1980's. But yes, it is a very expensive herb.
As supply increases costs will go down. Right now it is the latest thing. Give it 10 years or so when everyone wants in on the action and it becomes part of the commodity market.
+Bramble451 I hear ya. So was I actually. I am 42 years old. I have not smoked it since college almost 20 years ago. It would be nice to give it a little puff again here and there and not have to mortgage my house or sell my truck to do it.
Hi whyarewehacking. How is everything in the Netherlands these days? You guys all doing fine? Have enough money and all that. Hope so. I mean come on! A place you can smoke weed in Church- that's heaven. Peace to all in the Netherlands. You guys have always been so cool to us when we visit. Love.
shivanj1 I believe you. Well at least they didn't put you in jail. I have friends that got time for weed. They are black so sometimes the punishment is worst. I literally mean like a couple dime bags. Noone should get in any trouble unless youre running around with tons
We should also ban oxygen too. It's very dangerous on 100% of creatures who inhale it die. It's users depend on its use daily. Oxygen withdrawals can lead to death. Clearly we should ban it I know of too many people who have breathed and died.
You've never heard a story where a driver wrecked and killed someone while high because they were only smoking pot ......there isnt any case in history where someone overdosed or beat the hell out of their wife because they smoked a blunt. I freely and openly smoke weed AND I happen to know as a matter of fact, that I drive, pay attention, and function with more manners and in a more civil and aware State of Mind than a lot of people. Not to mention my dad had a very bad accident where the entire right side of his body was crushed, and has been through several problems with addiction. Now it turns out the only thing that does help him, is smoking pot. The doctors always wanted to have him addicted to pills and different substances that would make his moods and pain levels go up and down, and they were constantly changing it around because of the regulations that were being put on these Pharmaceuticals. It was wrong to make marijuana illegal so long ago and it went against everything that the rich people in the United States had to lose at that point.
We've had it for a while in Oregon. But my job is for a utility company and I'm in a position that is drug restricted & tested by the state & feds. None for me.
Nicole you can't get job from sharing marijuana with others and your president just fired and disbanded the entire national council on AIDS/HIV protection so..... Whoops. Your batting against your orange diaper man in your comment
I really hope that the United States as a country legalizes marijuana for recreational and medicinal purposes. It is foolish to have alcohol be legal, a much more dangerous and deadly substance, yet marijuana remains illegal in my state, Virginia. There has never been a death directly related from marijuana consumption, but cigarettes and alcohol kill millions of people yearly. Come on America, this should be a new constitutional amendment!
False advertising, marijuana in a class with heroin means my weed is not up to standard. Been trying to overdose for two weeks now, and I can't seem to get there. Where in the hell can I get some of this schedule 1 weed, PLEASE?
Those profits don't take into account price drops. Profits will crash when supply skyrockets. Giant farms will unload millions of pounds, a pound will be $2 at safeway. Retail shops will go bankrupt. He is right though, weed will be legalized, lawsuits will ensue, health care costs will go through the roof. It's a tomato industry, possibly a tobacco industry.
California lead the way when they legalized medical cannabis in 1996. Then, Washington and Colorado legalized recreational use which gave more states the drive and momentum needed to legalize recreational weed. Now that Cali has recreational weed, the state will have MAJOR influence over the rest of the nation, and other countries as well. I like to look at Canada as a cannabis ally. Once the recreational law in Canada takes effect in July, this could also influence the rest of the globe once people see the financial benefits! Legalization is a domino game. If you legalize it in one place, another will inevitably legalize, and the process will keep going until it’s eventually legalized everywhere!
For my Cali potheads: recreational tax is super high. I recommend you just get your medical card (which is extremely easy to get in Cali btw) so you can get that high quality cannabis for a cheaper price!
I don’t think it lies within Cali being legalized or even four more states. I think once the legalization in the US in its entirety happens, we will see other countries start to loosen up and follow especially if they see that kind of economic boom
Marijuana isn't legal, it's taxed and regulated. I can't grow marijuana plants in my backyard and I live in California. This is not a step in the right direction. A step in the right direction will happen when all victimless crimes are eliminated.
@ 409 That is the same thing we were told in California. First of all you should be able to grow an unlimited amount. Secondly, the counties can impose more stringent regulations than the state law. So I can't grow any plants outside in a vegetable garden.
Just do it illegally its not a big deal since it is legalized if its not a huge plantation they probably wont even bother . That said i agree it sucks and it doesn't allow peace of mind but i really dont think its a big deal . You still can apply for a license
the most important point here goes to human rights, not the government, or corrupt corporate conglomerates. we are a free country, we need to decriminalize and legalize all drugs.
Styx62 Ga Every herb shop in Colorado is modeled after the dispensaries in California. I've been walking into weed stores and buying dank in California since 2005, when I got my first doctor's recommendation. Believe me, Cali started what everyone else is doing now.
I have never smoked weed i don't judge people that do. I don't think it's harmful, I just choose not to use it. Happy for the people that waited for this
What does this mean for people in California who are currently doing sentences for cannabis,also will it apply for all types of charges or just smaller ones
Sentences will remain likely. It depends on the law. Itf the law is one ounce then that is safe. If someone gets pulled over with a qp them of course that is serious trouble. Anyone arrested on dec 31 for possession will be under the original law for possession. I was on jury duty 3 months after rec was active in Colorado and 9 months after the vote. The case was for a man who had allowed his house to be used for a sale of 15 lbs to undercover officers. The kingpins as the judge called hem posted bail and this man was on trial as he had not posted his 40,000 bail. He had arranged the meeting and used his house. I think he did some time.
You can seek to have your charge reclassified if your charge would not be considered illegal under the new law. We are talking about possession of up to an ounce, or having been convicted of growing with intent to distribute with under 6 plants. Any assault, battery, or other non related misdemeanor charge incurred at the same time will not be able to be reclassified. Only intent to distribute (under the laws new limit) can be petitioned for reclassification.
I know 2 people that may die from weed. They are allergic to it. One of them will vomit, she is also allergic to palm trees too, she can't touch them or she will break out in a rash. The other will swell up and it will block his airway. Those people are rare, other than that, safer than alcohol.
Hopefully this will spread across the states. That would make it increasingly hard for politicians here in the UK to argue against legalisation and could help with the final push.
WOOD exactly! Education, Healthcare, also In addition to Social security a even better retirement pension plan for for everyone. Do the math it can be done. Let's make America great for ALL of HER people.
I think as long as the new laws are for the people, it'll go ok. They already tried some funny shit here in Ohio and the people wasnt having it. Just cause you get stoned dont make you stupid.
FINALLY I can thumbs up a tyt video. As a veteran with PTSD thank you for mentioning myself and others like me. I dont agree with yall on most issues,but I always wanna hear both sides. For that I say thank you Young Turks.
Cenk, I am offering my services as a copy editor. You guys honestly need the help. California is the 7th largest economy in the world. California does not need to be a country to have this distinction.
people worry so much about pot yet alchohol is the most damaging substance outthere i smokeked weed many of time and i never had any problems with that better weed than alcohol
Of course you didn't have any issues with it, cannabinoids (the alkaloids of the cannabis plant) are not poisonous, actually almost all of them has positive medical effects. Cannabidiol (CBD) is useful against many types of cancer, it stops uncontrollable cell growth, effectively kills pains, it's anti-inflammatory, soothes the nervous system, kills nausea, generates appetite and so on. And this was only one of its alkaloids. The most important things about marijuana: you can't overdose it and it won't make you sick, therefore it won't kill you.
Can you guys talk about how this will benefit countries such as Mexico, central America, and some countries in the South and Caribbean. Making weed legal will provide a new economic boom of income and become a cash crop. It will also decrease or eliminate violent crime and gangs in those countries because they will have an incentive to become a legitimate corporation, thus be part of society in a constructive way. Thoughts anyone?
Legal weed price per 8th in CA- 50-60$ Street weed price in CA- 20$ Regulated and taxed to the point where it won’t kill the black market and will make it very hard for regular people to get licenses and meet regulations, favoring the rich and corporations.
I recently went to Washington and all i could smell was second hand pot seemed like from everywhere. What a shame that people celebrate legalization of pot...

No more dealing with shitty drug dealers... count me in.
John Blazem He talkin about the ones who either have shit weed or give u too little for your money.
greenghost2212 yesss
All my old pot dealers were like the coolest people I know. But they only sold pot.
Ron fckn Swanson = AMEN, BROTHER.....AMEN 😉!!!!!!!!!
Just like how the mafia lost power after alcohol was legalized. This is a huge win against crime!
The whole south needs it. Marijuana will help them to get out poverty
Matthew Welsh I’m not questioning your logic, but how?
Because the south is the poorest part of the United States and the Marijuana business is a billion dollar industry. The south needs jobs as well.
It would grow really well outdoor there. Perfect climate
i wish, but the cops and GOP down there will never allow it. they rely too much on the poverty and ignorance to allow them to progress.
The entire south needs... A LOT. Those people are blindly lost.
I don't smoke pot, buy I'm starting to like this law because it helps our school and state funded programs
Also all the money that were taking away from the black market and drug cartles
Yes! Same. Here in Colorado a pure 67% of revenue goes to schools. That's the number after all the greasiness and pay outs other places. It's a lot of money for schools. Our Dui's are down as well.
Don't forget the massive amount of money saved on not policing and incarcerating marijuana users.
daniel caceres yes, same! 100% agree.
That’s the great thing about weed; you don’t need to smoke it to love it, there are so many benefits.
shsummers it's a win win all the way around 🙂👍🏼👍🏼
I would much rather burn one than drink alcohol.
Lol I thought he was going to pull out some weed 😂
i want to see ana hit a bong
*LOL*
Bust a Bill Maher!
Rebecca Mhagama me too, me too. I thought he was going to pull out some as well.
Rebecca Mhagama IKR😂😂😂😂
So did I.
Marijuana vs Alcohol, choose Marijuana, too many health issues with Alcohol. I hope other states follow suit and release people for this offense.
Health issues with alcohol if you abuse it. Lets be true to ourselves here please!
Cannabis can also cause health problems.
Just saying, its not harmless, just safer than alcohol...
Gothead420 it can cause emotional or psychological problems but not physical health problems.
They will release those in jail for weed charges, they need them to smoke so they can make money.
Oh yeah no question, alcoholics actually suffer physical symptoms from alcohol withdrawal. And that shit just gets worse and worse with each withdrawal (look up "kindling", if you are curious), which can go as far as seizure and death.
Also alcohol is just such an integral part of our culture, like can you imagine hanging out with a bunch people at a loud bar or party for like 8 hours (a whole working day) without a drop of alcohol?

So once you are a bona fide alcoholic, your choices become a) keep drinking and potentially die from that, b) drink occasionally and risk more and more severe withdrawals and potentially die from that, c) stop drinking and must get through social situations completely unaided, or d) stop drinking and become a hermit.
Don't get me wrong, alcohol is fun, but holy crap that stuff is dangerous as hell.
The rest of the country will legalize, and my state of Missouri will still criminalize it. This state is absolute shit.
Timothy Ellis From one sad Missourian to another I feel you.
Timothy Ellis try MS lol,,, this state ‘forgot’ to send in signed reconstruction amendments (13th to 15th amendments) until 2012
Timothy Ellis lol wanna get high?
macsporan You're preaching to the wrong person cupcake. I'm a registered voter and have signed every ballot initiative that's gotten to the petition process in the last 8 years. It's easy enough to just assume that people in criminalized states aren't trying to pass legislation, but that's not the case.
Indiana here. We still can't buy alcohol on Sunday. Your move.
Hey Sessions, this bong hit is for you.
Vee K.
Get rid of Sessions. ...
Monsanto & Dupont
😂🤣😂
Peace Dove
sincerely??? Sessions maybe but don't drag corporations into this news dumbass.
GMOs suck?? hahahhahahhahaah You have no idea what you are yapping about.
No Marbles- you don't. I have been an organic superfoods grower for over 40 years and yes I really do know how harmful GMO's are. Maybe the most harmful element after nuclear. At least oil we can clean up after years. GMO's are the devils plaything. The people who make them are monsters. Are you a troll? You are a fan of GMO's why? Are you healthy?
Come on NY we need this done this year
Why? Do you have a medical reason to use marijuana or you want to use it for stimulated purposes?
Renegade MS they sell beer at Chuck e cheese for medical purposes? Stfu
You have to do it. No one can do it except you and your friends. I did it here in CO. It only took 125 of us. You can do it.
Geovanny it will happen: cannabis is the new frontier, all other industries are saturated and hyper-competitive.
Don’t count on Cuomo, he’s a corporatist.
This is the first great story of 2018 I've heard. Starting to get hopeful for the liberal takeover.
Kemar Lee
Let's get rid of SESSIONS, DUPONT& MONSANTO next
I'm so conservative. But this is one thing that I agree on. Weed should be completely legal in every way.
I wonder how long its going to take to become legal here in Alabama? 2047?
Cordell C Idaho will be last, then Arkansas, then Alabama before that, that's how I see it going down. Here in Utah right now I have CBD wax I bought legally at a smoke shop.
Cordell C Meth would be legal first their. Many meth heads
2261 AD. That's when Alabama gets legalized green.
Alabama would ban alcohol before they ever legalize weed.
Keep voting for religious frauds and you'll never get rec weed until a Progressive president and congress forces you to do the right thing just like gay marriage.
I'm not into this stuff, but I did vote yes for it.
I don't smoke either but I pushed the legislation for it in Colorado. 67% of the tax revenue goes to our public schools, our Dui's are down, our opioids use is a very small number. It's a healing agent on society. So yes, thanks for doing that and voting.
You are both gentlemen and scholars. 🤙
Thank you guys.
Thank you
We need more people like you. People who can vote for positive policies regardless if it fits into your life or not.
Nobody tell Jeff KKK Session. He's going to Cry.😭😭😭
"tale"? Laid off the week bud, you can't even fuckin' think straight.
Ntwadumela MATA LOL
bobby Don't Tell me to lay off shit. I love getting high. Your opinion doesn't mean shit to me.
bobby... If you are going to try and insult someone for being an idiot because they smoke weed... Try and get the right Tell in there. Important to the English Language there buddy. Also, its Lay Off the Weed. Not Laid off the week. Is there some sort of something you are taking too much of, or not enough of?
With a name like Session he should be a pot smoker. Jeffy boy this big bong hit is for you.
Now this really is MAGA, and its going to be fun watching Trump and the Repugnant party trying to argue against this freedom.
Nichole Hastings Trump has said a lot of things over the years, but as president he's cucked down to the hard right and corporate wills.
He has an Attorney General that thinks keeping marijuana illegal is his reason for being. They all pretend it's about health and community, etc. No, it's about the same 1% that just received a huge tax cut that will be paid for out of hard working American's social security and Medicare...they own our government and it's their profits that come before anything including the facts. Think of all the people that will lose money for this one law...from police departments that survive on the fines paid for minor marijuana charges to the auto manufacturers that have a number of cars that need to be sold (crashed/totaled and replaced) to maintain profits (not to mention all the parts that go on cars, insurance, courts, judges, attorney's, etc. etc. etc.) and private prisons and let's not forget the 2 big guys...pharmaceutical and alcohol manufacturers. It's all a big lie. Anything that is controversial over multiple administrations, decades without a resolution...there is a lie for profit somewhere in the mix.
Truth be told, I can't wait to see the libertarians (especially the ones in Big Pharma's pocket) reactions. A year from now, how much money will Big Pharma lose in sales?
they should've done the show high to celebrate
Not My Real Name LOL
Lol
Not My Real Name : if they were high Cenk, the racist SEXIST disgusting pig wouldn't be able to keep his hands to himself..
Not My Real Name smoke a doobie live
Not My Real Name I’m sure they have
Not included in the video but still ...
If you can smoke pot legally it's not illegal or criminal anymore. No need for criminal gangs and they will lose a substantial part of their income, some more than others. Less criminals is less violence. Less violence is less overworked cops ...
Also, I bet the for profit prisons do not see much value in this! :D
Also you forgot to add the extra revenue from the snack industry. $$$
haha yep!
PinkPonyOfPrey vaild point!!
A valid point but the taxes make prices fairly high, what happens when the dealer drops his price, the market swings back competitively
Giving police officers less work will make them mad and more violent.
So any conservatives want to come in and say anything? Cause I'm waiting, send all of your hate we feed off of it.
ThesightofPeace 97 Oh, they well!!! Lol
Looking at the like/dislike rate it looks like this is something Liberals and Conservative are behind
K DEN Not so sure if a lot of those likes are also conservatives (perhaps SOME compared to the many of liberals).
This is the blind shit that people hate you just assume all conservatives hate weed. I smoke almost every day and Im conservative
Thank you president Trump.
So now that weed is legal, there's probably going to be turf wars between the weed distributors & the tobacco & alcohol industry. This is gonna be an interesting fight.
Random Ron Marlboro greens and shit.... lmao I hear you.
Weeds gonna get really cheap at some point
been free for me for almost 15 years now...grow your own $
used to pay 60 an 8th, weed is paying me back finally
Calm down y'all, in 10 years it'll be like weed imagined... I mean we'd imagined.
lmao
I see what you did there. XD
Ryan Swanson Lol
niiiice
Excellent!
I don’t smoke it cause I hate the smell but I voted yes on this because why should something that’s a plant be illegal not to mention it actually helps people with certain medical conditions. Smoke up guys. Maybe one day I’ll light one up on my day off.
Taylor jay baby girl u trippin lol. The more loud the smell the better that batch is. But it's plenty of different strands which smell different.
greenghost2212 that's how my girl is man... it's the way they are raised to think it's bad when they don't know anything about it not throwing shade at you Taylor lol you should definitely try it ! promise you you'll be like wow
Chief Cano I said I don’t mind it I just don’t like the smell and it has nothing to do with how I was raised. I just don’t like the smell. End of story
Taylor jay And like I've stated different weed types look and smell different.
greenghost2212 I wasn’t talking to you. I know different strands smell different my friends family has a store and I’ve smelled different types and I still don’t like the smell. It’s a personal thing and again, I just don’t like how it smells. End of story.
California here I come 😁😁😁
Isaiah Messiah Jones ill roll a joint for us too smoke
Welcome!
Please don’t. We’re overpopulated as it is. Go to a shithole like Oregon
I`m moving back home hopefully this year, so i`m with you California here I come.
Isaiah Messiah Jones take me with you, I got gas money 😄
I immediately went to a local store's web site to see how to buy it. A single joint costs from about $7 to $18! So I didn't get high yesterday.
It is very expensive. Where it is illegal in the east coast like New York and Virginia it can be $150 for a 1/4 ounce. It was $50 an 1/8 of an ounce in the mid 1980's and $100 for 1/4 ounce. Now today it is about $200-240 per full ounce in Colorado. So that's half the price it was in the mid 1980's. But yes, it is a very expensive herb.
As supply increases costs will go down. Right now it is the latest thing. Give it 10 years or so when everyone wants in on the action and it becomes part of the commodity market.
I was hoping to get high a little sooner than that. :-)
Dude become a trimmer and make some $. :)
+Bramble451 I hear ya. So was I actually. I am 42 years old. I have not smoked it since college almost 20 years ago. It would be nice to give it a little puff again here and there and not have to mortgage my house or sell my truck to do it.
Leading the way towards righteousness, justice, and rationality
Washington and Colorado led on this recreational issue 5 years ago.
Welcome to the Party CALIFORNIA!!! Better late than never.
+Herb Bluntman
You can't lead if you don't have power or influence.
Guy Austin We welcome you to the weed party , greetings from The Netherlands 👍
Alex Smalex If you’re talking about which had killed more people in history - you are right, definitely the bible
Hi whyarewehacking. How is everything in the Netherlands these days? You guys all doing fine? Have enough money and all that. Hope so. I mean come on! A place you can smoke weed in Church- that's heaven. Peace to all in the Netherlands. You guys have always been so cool to us when we visit. Love.
West coast is the best coast!
Because we rock out with our weed out!
As someone from the east coast.... I approve of this message.
Rashid Ibrahim I support this message as well. We are coming tho. Mass July 2018
As a Vancouverite, i second that.
East coast is sad and cold.
The one thing as a conservative I actually agree on
Taylorfearless100 I agree. It’s dumb to abuse it but it shouldn’t be a crime.
I think anyone who isn't paid by big pharma actually agrees with legalizing it
I don't want this...
Liar
See, Marijuana is already healing the world. Republicans and Democrats, dogs and cats, all living together in harmony!
I'm smoking a bowl while watching this lol
Amen!!!
Justin Rosado hehehe me too but I live in Tennessee or do I lol
VA sux .......time to dab.
Freeze! Hands up! Pass the blunt!
Justin Rosado puff puff give
It started here in the great state of Washington.
Thank You! From a fellow Washingtonian. :-) For once we led the way!

Travisnewlin my nigga Quentin hooks it up
Travisnewlin shit me too spot me a 20
It's because we're tired of getting busted for it.
shivanj1 are you black? If your not I highly doubt you have been arrested for weed.
Your Daddy You're, not your!!
shivanj1 REALLY???? Dang did you catch a case? What are they giving out for having weed? I'm curious.
shivanj1 I believe you. Well at least they didn't put you in jail. I have friends that got time for weed. They are black so sometimes the punishment is worst. I literally mean like a couple dime bags. Noone should get in any trouble unless youre running around with tons
Marcos Moreno THX I was typing fast didn't notice. Are you an English teacher? Am I getting graded on this paper? Jk lol
Water can be dangerous.
100% of people who drink water die
That’s one scary-ass statistic, lol. H20 needs to be a schedule 1 substance.
We should also ban oxygen too. It's very dangerous on 100% of creatures who inhale it die. It's users depend on its use daily. Oxygen withdrawals can lead to death. Clearly we should ban it I know of too many people who have breathed and died.
How about damn time
Damn time!
:)
No snow and drought. Not the best.
Because I grow food? MMMMK....
Yes we are in a dry spell but west coast is still the best coast.
Disagree Washington State is the best.
tanaiya anderson no
I am going to California at Easter and I have M.S. and will be able to get pain relief legally is completely fab
I'm celebrating right now, again, for the 10th time since new years eve.
BTG- lol.
It’s always been legal for me lol.
Two Suns haha it's only conservative whites who like to hide the fact they smoke. Everyone has done it
Two Suns LOL
You've never heard a story where a driver wrecked and killed someone while high because they were only smoking pot ......there isnt any case in history where someone overdosed or beat the hell out of their wife because they smoked a blunt. I freely and openly smoke weed AND I happen to know as a matter of fact, that I drive, pay attention, and function with more manners and in a more civil and aware State of Mind than a lot of people. Not to mention my dad had a very bad accident where the entire right side of his body was crushed, and has been through several problems with addiction. Now it turns out the only thing that does help him, is smoking pot. The doctors always wanted to have him addicted to pills and different substances that would make his moods and pain levels go up and down, and they were constantly changing it around because of the regulations that were being put on these Pharmaceuticals. It was wrong to make marijuana illegal so long ago and it went against everything that the rich people in the United States had to lose at that point.
Why couldn’t Ana be here??????? I wanted to celebrate with her
ProjectGameVerse she's too stoned....
Thomas Creech- that answer made me happy.
We've had it for a while in Oregon. But my job is for a utility company and I'm in a position that is drug restricted & tested by the state & feds. None for me.
dugfriendly at least when you retire or some other way of life you have the option to have a puff . I too work in a mandatory testing job
That's the next law to be worked out!😘
I'm looking for work in power is PMing still a thing?
dugfriendly I
if the federal prohibition gets lifted, that could change.
Wow that is absolutely amazing. California is killing the game..literally and politically!!!
Nicole you can't get job from sharing marijuana with others and your president just fired and disbanded the entire national council on AIDS/HIV protection so..... Whoops. Your batting against your orange diaper man in your comment
A job? My spellcheck is high. You can't get HIV from sharing marijuana with others. You don't shoot it or anything.
Nichole Hastings are you stuck on stupid?? HIV with marijuana?? did you get that from alex jones? i bet you believe turtles are turning gay??
Weed is legal in Massachusetts now to😄
Almost 10 others too, wow.
finally a rational step, puff responsibly fellows
Certain people are going to say "What do you mean? I was always FOR legalizing marijuana!"
Watch the crime in California drop
Its always about the money... politicians will eventually see sense.
Who else watching this high af 😂😂
I am a devout Cannabis Advocate. CANNABIS SAVES LIVES
I really hope that the United States as a country legalizes marijuana for recreational and medicinal purposes. It is foolish to have alcohol be legal, a much more dangerous and deadly substance, yet marijuana remains illegal in my state, Virginia. There has never been a death directly related from marijuana consumption, but cigarettes and alcohol kill millions of people yearly. Come on America, this should be a new constitutional amendment!
Never liked a video so fast in my life😂😂😂
False advertising, marijuana in a class with heroin means my weed is not up to standard. Been trying to overdose for two weeks now, and I can't seem to get there. Where in the hell can I get some of this schedule 1 weed, PLEASE?
I am so proud of CA. My home state, and my favorite city, SF.
Gods herb has come once again.
never left bro
Not impressed. Marijuana will be fully legal in ALL OF CANADA in a few months. We Win.
More weed for canadians lol
Those profits don't take into account price drops. Profits will crash when supply skyrockets. Giant farms will unload millions of pounds, a pound will be $2 at safeway. Retail shops will go bankrupt. He is right though, weed will be legalized, lawsuits will ensue, health care costs will go through the roof. It's a tomato industry, possibly a tobacco industry.
One time I was surfing in California and I got sucked out by a rip-tide. It was freakin' scary man!
California saw Colorado bathing in a solid gold weed shaped hot tub filled with cash and thought. "Why the hell are we not legalizing this?"
Nevada also has adult recreational pot.
California lead the way when they legalized medical cannabis in 1996. Then, Washington and Colorado legalized recreational use which gave more states the drive and momentum needed to legalize recreational weed. Now that Cali has recreational weed, the state will have MAJOR influence over the rest of the nation, and other countries as well. I like to look at Canada as a cannabis ally. Once the recreational law in Canada takes effect in July, this could also influence the rest of the globe once people see the financial benefits! Legalization is a domino game. If you legalize it in one place, another will inevitably legalize, and the process will keep going until it’s eventually legalized everywhere!
If you tell conservatives how much money there is in legal weed they'll stop hating it!
For my Cali potheads: recreational tax is super high. I recommend you just get your medical card (which is extremely easy to get in Cali btw) so you can get that high quality cannabis for a cheaper price!
Canada is next...
Canada did it already.
420 420
Not until this summer.
Likely June or July
You can still be charged . Every law that prohibits use is still on the books.
Axis Of Evil that’s terrible. I thought July 4th of this year they did it? What happened?
420 420
Your mother... that's what.
You're allowed to have enough for yourself to smoke recreationally, not for supplying others.
When he put his hand to the corner to press the button, I thought he was gonna pull out weed😂
For all my progressives. Look into weed stocks!
it will be awhile before we see weed IPOs.
the most profound experience you can get from smoking weed is a spiritual awakening.
its not a war on drugs, its a war on consciousness.
This might actually be the push Australia needs.
do you think australia has any hope of being affected by what goes on in Cali tho ?
Jack Wood I've seen it mentioned on the news a lot and since then a bit more conversation about it in general. So I definitely think it is a factor.
I don’t think it lies within Cali being legalized or even four more states. I think once the legalization in the US in its entirety happens, we will see other countries start to loosen up and follow especially if they see that kind of economic boom
Anyone else hear that Cali is limiting recreational cannabis to 18%. That is not what tourists are looking for....
I'm glad they legalize marijuana in California a lot of people can get jobs to
Marijuana isn't legal, it's taxed and regulated. I can't grow marijuana plants in my backyard and I live in California. This is not a step in the right direction. A step in the right direction will happen when all victimless crimes are eliminated.
@ 409 That is the same thing we were told in California. First of all you should be able to grow an unlimited amount. Secondly, the counties can impose more stringent regulations than the state law. So I can't grow any plants outside in a vegetable garden.
Just do it illegally its not a big deal since it is legalized if its not a huge plantation they probably wont even bother . That said i agree it sucks and it doesn't allow peace of mind but i really dont think its a big deal . You still can apply for a license
Majority of Americans also want common sense gun laws...
Ashley Rahim we have them. We just want them enforced.
The whole idea of making illegal a plant that grows wild is just as ridiculous as it sounds.
North carolina 2018 is are year hopefully
*our
Do you now something I don't? I live in Chapel Hill and have heard absolutely nothing positive about legalization in any form.
Nope
In Raleigh and I wish weed was legal
Dan Harris Wilmington
the most important point here goes to human rights, not the government, or corrupt corporate conglomerates. we are a free country, we need to decriminalize and legalize all drugs.
New Mexico needs to finalize rec marijuana.
Yes. I'd like to help that. The medical program is really great there. Am in Colorado and would love to help.
did you know Arizona legalized small amounts of heroin at one time?
robinsss nice to see some forward thinking
Legalization of marijuana has destroyed Colorado. They asked the rest of the world not to do it.
Canada goes full legal July 01 2018.Thank you Colorado for leading the way.
California led the way, actually. The medical cannabis laws started the downfall of prohibition, piece by piece.
Styx62 Ga
Every herb shop in Colorado is modeled after the dispensaries in California. I've been walking into weed stores and buying dank in California since 2005, when I got my first doctor's recommendation. Believe me, Cali started what everyone else is doing now.
"Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing." - George Orwell
I have never smoked weed i don't judge people that do.
I don't think it's harmful, I just choose not to use it.
Happy for the people that waited for this
What does this mean for people in California who are currently doing sentences for cannabis,also will it apply for all types of charges or just smaller ones
Sentences will remain likely. It depends on the law. Itf the law is one ounce then that is safe. If someone gets pulled over with a qp them of course that is serious trouble. Anyone arrested on dec 31 for possession will be under the original law for possession. I was on jury duty 3 months after rec was active in Colorado and 9 months after the vote. The case was for a man who had allowed his house to be used for a sale of 15 lbs to undercover officers. The kingpins as the judge called hem posted bail and this man was on trial as he had not posted his 40,000 bail. He had arranged the meeting and used his house. I think he did some time.
Yeah distributing is still gonna get you time
You can seek to have your charge reclassified if your charge would not be considered illegal under the new law. We are talking about possession of up to an ounce, or having been convicted of growing with intent to distribute with under 6 plants. Any assault, battery, or other non related misdemeanor charge incurred at the same time will not be able to be reclassified. Only intent to distribute (under the laws new limit) can be petitioned for reclassification.
I see
Thanks for the info people, I'm going to look farther into this bill and here's to hoping this goes country wide soon
I know 2 people that may die from weed. They are allergic to it. One of them will vomit, she is also allergic to palm trees too, she can't touch them or she will break out in a rash. The other will swell up and it will block his airway. Those people are rare, other than that, safer than alcohol.
Obesity rates rising
Joe Bussard not really, there's weed almonds, granola bars, tea's, and plus it's only street level indica and certain strains that make you hungry.
Lol. Well it’s California so everybody here was already smoking anyway. I think when they legalize Nebraska though, folks will have to start worrying.
Checking out all the folks at the crowded dispensary and not one fat person there buying weed.
elsa Grace lol you must of went on a very weird day. Its all ending soon anyways.
Hopefully this will spread across the states. That would make it increasingly hard for politicians here in the UK to argue against legalisation and could help with the final push.
Put that billion to education
WOOD exactly! Education, Healthcare, also In addition to Social security a even better retirement pension plan for for everyone. Do the math it can be done. Let's make America great for ALL of HER people.
In Co we give 67% of revenue to schools. An honest 67% is what it is after paying everyone off. That's a lot of money. Our Dui's are down as well.
ya No..
alistarxx explain why?
WOOD ya no it’s probably not going there
I like Cali, but what I hate about it is they'll take your kids away for money. This, like alcohol, will be another excuse for the evil CPS...
I think as long as the new laws are for the people, it'll go ok. They already tried some funny shit here in Ohio and the people wasnt having it. Just cause you get stoned dont make you stupid.
FINALLY I can thumbs up a tyt video. As a veteran with PTSD thank you for mentioning myself and others like me. I dont agree with yall on most issues,but I always wanna hear both sides. For that I say thank you Young Turks.
2018 will be a great year indeed :)
pharma will push back hard, the federal govt under control of GOP will force states to concede legal access to marijuana for residents.
It’s gonna be The Great Marijuana Migration
My american dream: defending my pot farm with my AR15 with a bumpfire stock
Reparations are next!
Cenk, I am offering my services as a copy editor. You guys honestly need the help. California is the 7th largest economy in the world. California does not need to be a country to have this distinction.
Noice
people worry so much about pot yet alchohol is the most damaging substance outthere i smokeked weed many of time and i never had any problems with that better weed than alcohol
Of course you didn't have any issues with it, cannabinoids (the alkaloids of the cannabis plant) are not poisonous, actually almost all of them has positive medical effects. Cannabidiol (CBD) is useful against many types of cancer, it stops uncontrollable cell growth, effectively kills pains, it's anti-inflammatory, soothes the nervous system, kills nausea, generates appetite and so on. And this was only one of its alkaloids. The most important things about marijuana: you can't overdose it and it won't make you sick, therefore it won't kill you.
AMEN
I am scared of a Weed-Mart corporate monopoly once the corporations see the value.
Can you guys talk about how this will benefit countries such as Mexico, central America, and some countries in the South and Caribbean. Making weed legal will provide a new economic boom of income and become a cash crop. It will also decrease or eliminate violent crime and gangs in those countries because they will have an incentive to become a legitimate corporation, thus be part of society in a constructive way. Thoughts anyone?
Legal weed price per 8th in CA- 50-60$
Street weed price in CA- 20$
Regulated and taxed to the point where it won’t kill the black market and will make it very hard for regular people to get licenses and meet regulations, favoring the rich and corporations.
Next let’s legalize prostitution since it’s almost legal anyway, as long as the act is being caught on camera
Prositution harms many people especially slaves. Right? Understand? Marijuana doesn't harm anybody.
SORRY GUYS BUT EVEN COLORADO LEGALIZED WEED BEFORE YOU DID!!
I recently went to Washington and all i could smell was second hand pot seemed like from everywhere. What a shame that people celebrate legalization of pot...
Thank You Californians..you show us everyday that there is hope in people and in government.
Bruh when he pressed the music button at the beginning I thought he was gonna grab some weed
