![Rich Dunk (Ft. DaBaby) - BIG DAWG [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Pz2ewsSKAEM/mqdefault.jpg)
All the small towns will have to stop ruining their citizens lives for having a joint just to get that court money.
Indeed!
Fret not, they'll find something else in a privatized prison state like TX.
@@MomMom4Cubs Yeah, like lock people up for jaywalking, or DWB. What's DWB you ask? Driving while Black or Brown!😜
@@bigjohnson7415 I didn't ask because I know what it means.
Those things already happen. I meant something new (seeming).
@@MomMom4Cubs Indeed. Republicans been messing up Texas for over 30 years. They always saying "Look at California" but won't look in the mirror and recognize how messed up this state is. That's all.
The fact that it’s still illegal is clearly insane
Shows how little the govt represents it's voters.
Absolutely.
@@lIIllIIllIllIIlexactly. Not a government for the people.
That's because Big Pharma want you addicted to Pain Killers,Opiods and Fentanyl.
No lobby
I declassified it myself 20 years ago…..
You the man Michael!
I declassified 45 years ago
50+ here
The fact that cannabis is considered more illegal than fentanyl shows exactly where we are as a country
How is alcohol not a schedule 1 drug, how?
They have a lot of $ and lobbyists
If you have air sugar and water you can make alcohol it made the government look weak trying to make alcohol illegal
Same reason the Epstein clients still sleeping with underage kids
@@enigma9273 just like tobacco
Prohibition of alcohol.
During these times, alcohol was banned, Kaos erupted, and America was going through the Civil War with its people. America saw this and knew they F*#*#*# up. Imagine what can happen now today if Alchohol and Cigarettes were banned. Kaos and Lots of conflicts.
That doctor definitely partakes
What are they waiting for? Don't they see how not legalize and creating a system. Create the black market and sell. So dumb it's taken them this long just to open the dialogue and suggestion.
@@MariaReyes-wg5zx Locking people up is big money. That's why there's corporate prisons now. If there was no money in it rich people wouldn't bother.
Lol
I was thinking the same thing bro 🤣
DAILY lol
That doctors chill asfuck
High af 😂
He's definitely been partaking in the supply 🤣
This is the comment I was looking for 😂😂
Keep pharma out of marijuana!
this is opening the door for them.
@@JW-be4syhardly, mostly just research; we need to fully legalize, not just give it to the pharmaceutical companies that already half-way run the country
@@brickbybrick4692 I agree on the fully legalized. But this is definitely opening the door for big pharmaceutical companies to come in and take over the industry. They will drive all the little businesses out and if you have home grow rights in your state that might go away also. How many pharmaceutical companies do you think want you growing your own medicine and not paying them?
Cannabis *
@@brickbybrick4692 I agree to fully legalize, but this is opening the door for big pharma and how many of those want you making your own medicine?
Just legalize it.
As the late Peter tosh once said 😂
Correction to your story. We do not have medical marijuana in texas. We have a compassionate use program that allows marijuana with less than 5% thc. Please understand the difference and please start saying that in your news report. There is a distinction, as Texas has extremely Draconian laws on cannabis
and 5 percent sucks. Texas is still in a horse and buggy mind set.
Very little help with serious diseases. Casual attitude like "hey shu up, we gave you some " now you just want more ? We told you so,
Reminds me of kindergarten
@@terrycihat4136We need more research!
Less than 1%, not 5%.
@@JRod12511 just think of those cow pokes on the Chisholm Trail. A guy could go to an opiaam den to chase the dragon and rent a woman.
Anything but legal is a waste of time.
They are only doing that for the pharmaceutical companies. If they were doing it for the people it would be descheduled.
Umm... It can't be "descheduled".... I don't think you understand what that means....
Descheduling cannabis goes a step further than rescheduling. When a substance is descheduled, it essentially means that the government no longer classifies it as a dangerous or illegal drug. Instead, it’s regulated more like everyday items such as alcohol or tobacco, which are subject to rules but not listed as controlled substances.
It is still wrongly classified so they get a thumbs down.
Exactly. It should be Schedule 5 at the very least and not classified at all at best.
yep, and just opens the doors for big corporations and politicians to start making all the $ from the sales
Impact: freedom
No this would make it illegal again they said in the same class as Tylenol with codeine that’s enough you’ll get arrested if you have it
It still will be prescription level so having it without prescription is still a felony
@@lonniesmith352did Brittany have a script? 😂
@@lonniesmith352 No no having outside the prescription bottle assigned to you even with a prescription it’s still a crime to have prescription pills outside the pill bottle I got arrested for having 3 allergy pills in a plastic bag once because they couldn’t come up with a reason for why they pulled me over
It shouldn't be classed as ANY kind of "narcotic". The FDA has NEVER understood what the term narcotic means. Not to mention opioid. Cannabis products should simply be off the shelf, like Nyquil or Unisom, any of the sleep aids. That's where cannabis needs to be. Except for the live plants, they would be out in the garden center with all the other live plants, duh.
THC no worse than alcohol
@@HoneyBadger80886
It’s actually a much different intoxicant. It doesn’t have a strong dose response curve like alcohol, and has no depression of your ability to continue breathing which alcohol does.
@@davarph ❤️
Shut UP!! SERIOUSLY. Shut up It's a product that causes ADDICTION and has Mental effects like paranoia and hallucenations HENCE the words GETTING HIGH
I can't stand drug users who think they sound deep. It's a DRUG get over it
Man the people at Home Depot ain't gonna know how to grow a plant right.
Marijuana should have NEVER been a schedule one drug... how absolutely ridiculous
Marijuana should have never been classified as a dangerous drug, I guarantee you more people have died from alcohol, tobacco, sugar, Tylenol or any other substance than marijuana. This country is absolutely ridiculous in what’s permissible and what’s not. We need to do better.
I declassified it myself 30 years ago without your help 😂
TX legalize and use the tax money for a border wall and security. Lower property tax for Homestead families and upgrade education, schools, and teacher pay.
And to DECOLONIZE native lands. Preserve NATIVE traditions ECT
Your taxes don't go towards funding anything. Look up the grace commission.
@@MariaReyes-wg5zx sure, we can do that. But we're going to take all of our stuff with us and leave you back in the Stone Age.
How does your Internet use help preserve natives lands? @@MariaReyes-wg5zx
Are politicians are not smart
Marijuana is Medicine. Full spectrum CBD gives me pain relief.
Oh he'll yeah cbd is the best pain relieve
Yuuup
CBD does nothing for pain
It does absolutely nothing for pain. It's a placebo.
You're factually wrong. Multiple studies disprove what you've said. Maybe it doesn't help you for your conditions, but helps others with there's. @@TOMVUTHEPIMP
This type of stuff only happens during an election year. Could’ve been done all along 🤬 🤬
Presidents over the last 50 years could have pulled this card. Why didn’t they?
take what you can get and BE HAPPY geez
@@ahimel cuz they starting ww3 w the lowest recruiting numbers in history.
biggest thing is that now it's open to being researched without the need to apply directly to the DEA for a special permit and procurement doesn't have to be from the federal government schwag factory.
Yeah cause people who drink alcohol and drive isn't dangerous!. They have it completely backwards
Texas is way behind…
West Virginia is worse.
@@Poschet0423 talk for yourself. There are no “ we” in Texas. Everyone moved there last 10 years…
Try Idaho. Pretty fun there too.
Thanks to Gregg Abbott and Dan Patrick.
@@Poschet0423 missouri is conservative too but its legal there, texas is just worse
It should be declassified altogether, not reclassified to a category including Ambien, Ativan, and other more addictive substances subject to significant federal regulation.
"But is impairs your driving because it makes you tired."
So does having to work 2 jobs back to back just to scrape by, and I don't see the government doing jacksh!t about making sure citizens aren't working themselves to death for nothing.
It should be treated like a tomato or rose bush. Anything else is overreach
xox
FACTS
Thats the best way someone has descibed it
Smoke with your own will and do not blame anybody
Coke is a schedule 2 drug , not schedule 1
diet coke ?
Make it legal. And let’s move on to real issues
Exactly
Texas Baby, we should Legalize it so we could help our people and build more homes and businesses to the public 🎉
It must be decriminalized and legalized for personal and recreational use. It's not fair only rich privilege few can get legal protection. When users don't need silly papers to consume it. Socially conditioned is disgusting in those types of servants in positions of power.
Tell congressman, not RUclips kid 😂
That backgroud goes hard af
Just Legalize It !
If they fully decriminalize it, then I don’t think people will really care bout it very much. Like in California, it’s not really a big deal.
The government made it illegal. The government isn't doing any favors to Americans.
A schedule 1 drug cannot be decriminalized as long as its schedule 1. This is a necessary step to full decriminalization.
People keep saying the words "Texas legalized cannabis for medical use". Which they most certainly didn't. They allow CBD which is a step forward but that is not legalization for medical use.
It's unheard of. But I bet the rich and privileged are the only ones able to get a licence to actually buy in the few dispensaries in Texas.
@@MariaReyes-wg5zx Anyone can get the license. It’s really easy. It’s just you never needed a license to buy CBD.
Thc is medically prescribed in texas, however there is no protections for the individual prescribed medical marijuana from being fired from their job for failing a drug test
@@zachsmith9024 Ultra low dose THC hardly counts.
@@JamesBond-ut5iv you're the expert I guess
Stop taxing plants. There must be a homegrown option
There is..
@@shanna1518 not in Texas, federally and not even in WA state
@@gypsy547 I do..I grow..
Tea been taxed since day 1 WDYM
About time. Long overdue.
Been on sativa for three months, medical prescription, and it has helped me so much. It’s beautiful.
The gov needs to make money off it before anything... sad
Love the interview with Dr. Imhighrigtnow
Plant is near impossible to get for Medicinal reasons. Texas is not user friendly
I remember when doctors were in cigarette ads.
I don't get it? How many people have lost their lives due to alcohol consumption? and dasterly deeds that go along with it,it has ruined countless families, and jobs.
Why isn’t poison ivy illegal? It affects 50 million people each year.
because it would not cause substance abuse or addiction, which society will spend $$$ to fix it .
wow about time
About time.
4 years to reclassify it and will take 4 more years for recreational. This politicians are wild.
Literally hundreds of pearls are being clutched at the moment.
Everyone smoke marijuana once or twice in there life. I have a medical card love the benefits I have so much pain but when I smoke I don’t feel a thing and I’m a quadriplegic. I rather take marijuana anyday then pills
EVERYONE HAS NOT SMOKED ONE OR TWICE IN THEIR LIFE SO STOP SPEAKING IN ABSOLUTES!!! EVERYBODY DOES NOT SMOKE SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY GET SICK SO SHUT UP! DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE MAKING DUMB COMMENTS FOR ATTENTION. AND FYI PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO GET HEART ATTACKS FROM SMOKING. DO YOUR RESEARCH
@@amorrbaby8354 sounds like you could use a joint
Your caps lock is stuck.@@amorrbaby8354
@@amorrbaby8354that’s not even remotely true
@@amorrbaby8354 Calm down, Karen. YOU'RE RIDICULOUS WITH THAT CAPS LOCK!!!!!
Best doctor in the state! ❤❤❤
It's called monopolizing
They'll only legalize it when they get their ducks in a row and PROFIT from it.
Yeah Texas needs all the revenue they can get for there is no more shipping in Texas
Great news!
People asked for declassification.
Long time smoker here but have quit due to drug testing and really valuing my job I hope this changes things for Texas. When I was younger it was just about chasing a high but now it's one of the few things that helps with my arthritis pains, it doesn't go away but taking the edge off of a pain level 7+ everyday is enough for me. Never knew medical marijuana could help with autism as well. My daughter is probably far to young but I will be researching that as I am curious what studies are saying behind that.
Definitely need to legalize it Texas
Texas don`t want you to have any smokable marijuana.
i just ordered delta 8 is it legal or not? i keep getting mixed responses
I’m calling the cops
@@Senorjohnsonba it doesn't work anyway... :(
I was recently arrested for a tiny bit of shrooms (psilocybin) and it was a $16k bond and class 2 felony possession of a controlled substance. The guy next to me in holding was arrested for the exact same amount of FENTANYL and got the exact same charge as me. Its insane.
Now it’s classified on the same level as steroids.
Anyone care to guess what happens if you get caught with steroids?
Yep, straight to jail.
Remind me again how great this news is….
All bad. TOTALLY DESCHEDULE
Veteran who uses cbs daily! This is a no brainer!
How do you choose who gets to do the segment?😂
Ask them what time it is 😂
Man I had it medically for years but I had to quit all together eventually. Excuse after excuse after excuse it’ll never end
should be legal, if u dont want to partake then dont.
I've lived in Texas all my life of 50 years except when I was in the Navy 96-2000. I'm a patriot and I love my country but I cant stand its leadership and its lack of transparency and just being truthful without always having a hidden agenda. I'll tell ya, Cowards don't tell me how to live my life, nor what brand of cigarettes to smoke. For the sake of not having a felony on my record I keep it under two ounces at any given time anyways. By adopting that attitude and stance, do you really think for one moment that Mrs. or Mr. Republican or Democrat cares at all what I'm smoking. I bet the truth is they never think about it once. Until it becomes a political issue. I'm not the only one of my brother or sister Americans, that feels that way.
Well said 💯 agree..👍👍
It would also make dispensaries become legalized pharmacies and have pharmacists fill the script.
Always follow your doctor's instructions.
Congress needs to reclassify or it means nothing.
This is SENSATIONAL
I qualify but I don't want to drive to Austin to get my card
Make medicine legal again.
He definitely looks like a doctor that prescribes medical marijuana… 😂
Call it a cannabis
Cartel on standby ready to corrupt it with the help of your local politician like before
The fact they think we care about these laws is hilarious. We do what we want anyway without your approval. 😂
Like prohibition, the people who outlawed alcohol were they themselves drinking it. This isn't any different.
If the US government legalized marijuana in the 1990s we wouldn't have the drug problems we have today !!!!
I am old autistic with PDA and dyspraxia. With my nervous system, I go from 0 to 100 internal rage over anything. (I keep it internalized, but that comes with CPTSD and masking, etc.) I spill things, break things, and get injured daily; and that is infuriating. This stuff helps keep me from raging/calms me back down quickly. Trust me, you want me high. It helps dull some of the joint and other pain, and I've had some level of pain for as long as I can remember. I don't want the other damage to my body that comes with otc pain medications and I don't want to get addicted to other medications, so I just suffer through it. This stuff helps with the anxiety and stress I get from having to interact with other people. It puts me on an even keel. Having dyspraxia, I am already uncoordinated; so I really should not drink alchohol. It helps with my insomnia, so I can sleep. Best stuff for me.
I can tell you are autistic 😂
Never heard of someone crashing due to smoking, or anyone having a bad headache where they stay on bed for the whole day... or throwing up or being violent like alcohol
You want your heart surgeon burning a bad boy before he goes to work? Pilot?
😂😂😂😂 I don’t know if I could ever see a doctor with hair like that😂😂😂😂😂😂
That doctor looks extremely cool, very confident and knowledgeable.
How about rock or country musicians with long hair, do you have a problem with them and listening to their music ?
As history has taught us Texas always keeps going backwards. Ain't nothing under the Sun new
In texas a felony possession is 5oz to TWO POUNDS, thats got to be fixed.
Let's think about this, folks. What would be the long term affects of this?
Keep pharma out of !! We want recreational
Get it done
We Need The Money!
Let the people who need it have it. Epilepsy, seizures, cancer, etc. theres a lot who can use it
You know what kind of money the economy will make billions to Trillions
I mean TAX the heck out of it. Just really really push it with what could ever be possible.
I can see it being much easier to take as prescribed if it were reclassified.
Then explaine prescription drug abuse and the opioid epidemic?!?!?!?!? Yall are dumb SERIOUSLY THINK
Now it's time for the UK to reclassify to class C
Hud doesn’t allow medica cannabis
Legalize cannabis federally - it's time.
That whole DARE thing "marijuana is a gateway drug" totally effed up medical and legal recreational use for soooo long....
How is lean legal but mota is illegal?
But how does medical marijuana work when you don't have dispensaries? How do the patients actually get the marijuana? And can they shop for it like we can or do they just get what they get? Do they get to choose between flower and concentrates? I'm so confused by this because it doesn't make sense to me. If it's legal in so many other states, why doesn't everyone just get on board already?!
