- The nation’s top drug-enforcement body will soon reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug. That would be a historic shift in drug policy that’ll have ripple effects across the nation. It’ll be the DEA’s biggest policy change in more than 50 years.

Marijuana is not a drug, the end 😂
Your absolutely correct sadly
You are both wrong. THC is a drug but not a bad one. :)
Thc is ABSOLUTELY A DRUG. PERIOD. and if you care. You should see the long term studies of how bad it is for you.
It's been used as medication in China and by Native Americans for thousands of years! In Jamaica there's a religion based on it! I've always considered myself a Rastafarian at heart!
@@billpii6314asalicylic acid is a drug, and that's aspirin!
Cigarette companies aren’t so powerful anymore.
ah ok You can go back to sleep now
cigarettes had nothing to do with it but a lot of people think that. It was cotton and lumber, plus persecution of blacks and the poor.
I can already by strong marijuana at gas stations but i can be pulled over and charged for it. The governor's son can grow it but i can't? Cmon
Trump actually made it it legal when he signed the farmers bill in 2018 on a federal level. It's just taking some time now for people to realize what he just did.
The governors son grows?
It grows naturally, shouldn't be called a drug. It's not made in a lab (though some strains could be).
Dispensary cannabis is a synthetic lab grown thing
drug
/drəɡ/
noun
a medicine or other substance which has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body.
Doesn't have to me man made to be a drug. Also no strain could be made in a lab, its grown duh. You may want to give it up.
@@billpii6314 So by definition, sugar is a drug too. Sugar high is a real thing and that definition is subjective
My career was in pharmacy. Many drugs are natural substances that are strong enough to kill in certain doses. Female hormones are derived from horse urine…There’s a lot of heart medications that are from natural plants. Yes, even naturally derived drugs should be considered drugs, regardless whether they are natural or synthetically made. As some are capable of taking a human life. Do your research before making assumptions….😮
What will change? Nothing. So what does this mean? Absolutely nothing. Will it ever mean anything? Nope and from the sound of it, nope
They would like to think that .. Federal overrides states laws
I means the marijuana growers and sellers can now put their profits in the bank which was banned before. Where it's legal recreationally dea cant raid them any more. Makes plenty of difference and a step in the right direction. Will result in decriminalization .
@TimothyDouget not for the common man it doesn't. Let's help these rich investors, is what you really just said. How will it result in decriminalization? That's a huge step from class 3 to legal everywhere. It's all about politics.
In Georgia.
Good, it helps me with bodily pains after a long day of work. I'm gonna get a medical card.
You can do that now (maybe) and if you can't get a card now this will do noting to change that....for now.
That would be like them telling me I couldnt have my blood pressure medication in that state// Some lawyer please chime in on this ..
About time. The laws against marijuana are insane.
Asking all Georgians, "Why is it still illegal in Georgia" ?
Georgia is so far behind
The GM corporation ended buses in major cities, Standard oil ended natural plant based medicine in favor of petroleum based medicine.
Also prohibition started with how invested members of congress were in Denim, and how much of a competitor Hemp was. Levi’s led the charge in courts and even held votes on days they knew no one would be present, they were supplying our militaries clothing also of course it was a competitor for paper and construction: hence William Randolph hurst and the paper mill wars. Marijuana was Criminalized as a dangerous drug in Co- Ordination to have a way to keep it from being grown at all. There is absolutely nothing wrong with cannabis it should be completely de scheduled holding onto any form of scheduling at this point leads to profit making for the system. It is far safer than alcohol much safer. It’s hard to believe we’re told what to think about certain things to protect someone’s pocketbook-
Did Q tell you that BS?
I never thought ID EVER Write or Say this but
Thx fox. You’ve clarified something correct for me!
we about half way there....
🌿 = Sleep x Peace x Meditation
PEACE 🍂🍁
🌎✌🏾🐸
Class one heroine,lsd😂😂What!!!!??
DAmn I've been getting bad weed for years!! :)
This could really help the tobacco growing states.
Please explan? It's just a simple reclassification no laws have changed.
Idaho is gonna hate this they love charges for weed all the $$ they are gonna lose
Completely ignoring all the money they could make by taxing it.
Alright,But if the marijuana affects their attitude they should be going to jail.
Lmao just legalize it. This is sad. Acting like it’s harmful lol I hate this place.
"United" States of America but they all have different laws to punish you just doesn't make sense, many states allow it for anyone while some throw you in jail and ruin your life over it . Get thy head out of thy ass / asses. Alcohol and cigarettes is way worse than some weed but that's legal 🤤🤤
Im a northerner living in the south and everything is slower down here the traffic the laws and the people im not even sure whats spoken in the south is English point is its time to catch up
If you don't like it, you can always leave.
Southern accents are based largely in what used to be aristocrat Europeans during the civil war era so the etymology of it puts it closer to British English than American . They were obsessed with copying everything they thought rich Europeans did. Calvin Candi wasn't too far off from a realistic depiction.
@@JamesWisdom-fc5jy🗣
Go home.
Northerners are weird🤣🤣 us real Californians love the south but the crybabies need to go back home to the shitty lives and talk about how they miss the south and the freedom
Прям захлебывается от радости.
It changes nothing for those is us who realized a long time ago, no one owns a plant. That thought is silly. It's very easy to get. Always has been
Political theater 😊
🐂🐂🐂🐂💩💩💩💩. Dope is Dope.

It’s to cut blacks slack.
No, it really only affects the larger grow operations so that now they can utilize the banks, it doesn’t affect the recreational user who likes to grow their own and Georgia will be the last state in the country to legalize cannabis. This is about politics, people scream oh this is historic! Look what Joe has done, forget everything else and vote for him! It’s just another distraction, a shiny object so we don’t see their sleight of hand. It doesn’t change 💩 when it comes to state level.
It's about time, a bit overdue, but good nonetheless.
Ofcourse in Georgia, they'll say "it's not necessary but we're STILL going to arrest ppl for it".
Because arresting the types who gravitated towards it is literally the whole point. The rural US didn't turn blanket red on accident and hippies didn't lose a culture war, they lost a real one waged with boots on the ground.
@@Ryuujinv01 yes darling, I'm aware of that.
Regardless of all that was said, it's still long overdue.
Weed should've never been in the same category as heroin. Good stuff.
Well you can ask Donald Trump that for he already did this what started the process to what you see now
🤣Try again.
No, he didn't, he had his entire administration to don't pretend he wanted it, he said in 2018 that he "probably" would support the bill but did not support it because it was introduced with Democrat cosponsors, even still it passed the senate then the Trump favored house refused to vote on it and he did not try to get them to. He had his whole administration to do something in support and chose not to just like every president over the last 50 years except Carter. The process requires 1 of 2 paths. 1, a formal request from the president or attorney general to the DEA to begin an investigation in to reclassifying the drug. 2, congress passes legislation legalizing it.
The Biden administration made the request during the beginning of September 2023 you can go find an article if you want to.
@@Ryuujinv01 you do not know what you're talking about sorry Donald Trump passed the Farm Act which helped and pushed legislation underlying legislation that passed the marijuana and changed it for the extracts and the salt shatters dabs oils edibles and much more could be sold in all states it was a win and it was reversed by Biden but was never enforced by Biden to stop so it's still is what is standing today that's why if it has less than Delta 5 then it isn't psychotropic active so like I said you do not know what you're talking about there's literally companies called Delta 5 because you know Donald Trump made it for them not to be able to be shut down and he promised to finish the bill but it's going to happen under the Farm Act and that's where he has found the legal grounds to then deal with this issue finally and only through the Farm Act is it legal so anybody else's promise is not going to settle no matter it's only talking about what they're going to bring up for a legislation that will eventually just be shot down unless they want to admit in this period of time that Donald Trump was right and I just believe that is not going to happen definitely won't happen at this moment in time

Horrible idea
Ripple effects for sure. If this is inacted, it means more crime. It does more damage to families then alcohol. Alcohol just gets the blame.
Your logic is flawed. People don't get high on pot and beat their wives, drive 100 MPH into an innocent family driving down the roadway or get uncontrollably angry while using it. Maybe you should do some research before you talk out of your a$$ and make your self look like a complete moron. In every study for the past 50+ years they have found that marijuana is far safer than alcohol, prescription medications, and all other illegal drugs including the ones that are at lower schedules.
No, it doesn't and that's not even to call pot safe, even though I could make that argument separately because the only thing that destroys families is the state calling it illegal. Factually, mostly because of the pervasiveness of it, alcohol damages more families than heroin. More than 70% of the country consumes it literally every week it is not too far behind heroin in how physically addictive it is too. 3/4 of the symptoms of a hangover are physical withdrawal. That's why most effective hangover cures contain small amounts of alcohol, because heroin junkies feel more like themselves and less sick too when they get a fix.
