Is Marijuana Legalization Inevitable In The US?

- Every ballot initiative involving the decriminalization or legalization of marijuana passed in the 2020 election. The Democratic-controlled House also passed the MORE Act in early December, which would legalize marijuana at the federal level and implement sweeping regulations surrounding the drug. These developments reveal something important about the shift in the marijuana debate: Marijuana may be one of the truly bipartisan issues in the U.S. right now.

If you put five weed smokers in a room, they would start a band with each other.

and also shooting will be involved, either they form a band or listen to my 70's music the best music of my generation and the girls will fix nachos for munchies
Nah dude it depends on what they’re smoking if they smoke joints they good but people that smoke blunts are deadly
Very true
5 weed smokers in a room : just sit there/do nothing or argue about everything as it wears off , the only lasting conversation is about the universe or desperately defending weed

Marijuana gave me motivation to change my life and lose weight. Being high feels like a spiritual journey for me.
I don't know about losing weight, after smoking I eat everything in the world, Pizza, Cookies, ice cream
I don't recommend marijuana as a weight loss tool.
i got two college degrees and a kickass job. thanks, weed!
i actually gained weight, but it was because i started lifting. #lifthigh
I smoked weed for the first time with my brother (I’m 25, he’s 20) and his buddies. I’ve never laughed so hard. And the best part was I slept amazing and had awesome dreams. Then woke up super thirsty but no hangover so that was amazing!
First time i tried it i was 10-11 yo. I caught my brother smoking with his buddy (they were 16-17 at the time) and his buddy was telling my brother: ''Let him try, let him try!''
My brother was hesitant and didn't let me try, but that only made me wanna try it even more so i started persuading him. I told him i will snitch to our parents if he doesn't let me try lol.. He had no other option haha.. It was a good deal for him though, i couldn't snitch if i tried it as well.
I tried it when I was 17 and it helped me with anxiety and stress I now get higher then a kite on the weekends lol
It's like heaven compared to drinking.
No body born in 1940 shld be telling me how to live in 2021
TERM LIMITS FOR THE WHOLE GOVERNMENT!!!
I thought we live in a free country why can't we smoke alitte weed and get by with it but pop to many pain pills and doctors take them away or Government changes laws on many things in this country No longer a free country
good luck!!! Ha!
Nobody period, is telling me how to live no matter what time.
Marijuana should be illegal and we can find other solutions to the problems Marijuana was used for and use different methods without being a drug that you can get high on
also I'm using my mom's account thing and I'm a boy

Whats really incoherent about it. I am on winter break as a school bus driver. I went to my superior & asked if it would be safe for me to consume a CBD gummy on the first day of winter break, so that in 16 days, when I come back to work, it will be cleared from my system. She says, its bad idea. If you fail a urine analysis it going into this online public FSCMA database that follows you for the rest of your life; so have a beer or wine or tobacco or something else that clears your system faster & make sure there is no THC.

It's hard to discourage use of alcohol and tobacco when they are in every store on every corner. At least allow cannabis to sit beside them on the shelves for a healthier option
or how about in a free country the people in suits stop telling us what we can and cant do
What are u talking about its extremely cheap
Kickin' chicken you couldn't have said it better. I was an alcoholic and an opiate addict for years and it's all because those two were so readily available and a variety of quality marijuana wasn't. I m from Florida so the bud was there but the pills get pushed so hard that I couldn't avoid them. If I could ever just make it home with marijuana once I got high I would stay home and be happy but if I didn't smoke I was out drinking and soon as I had a good buzz I was looking for pills. My point is if getting marijuana was as simple as stopping at a store and picking your favorite strain I would have never got on the alcohol or pills. Buying marijuana off the street eventually got me to stop those things but it needs to be easier to get ahold of so I don't have to get it illegally and risk getting in trouble. Also that way there's a big variety and there's edibles and cartridges. It angers me that they won't just legalize it, it's the least they can do because I can't get those ten wasted years of my life back now I'm so far behind. If they hadn't let all those pills out into the streets and just legalize marijuana it never would have happened.
@@runescapeog4202 Someone who gets it! Legalize all drugs!
The fact its still illegal shows how corrupt the government is. These people voting for it to be class1 of all things should be locked up forever. Like actually forever until they die. Its such a scam its unreal.
There's no difference between Medical and Recreational it makes you feel good both ways, the worst thing about Pot is it's expensive.
One of the best Comments!
Not in colorado or oregon or washington
I am in Texas and I get my weed from California, I pay $350 an OZ, in 70's we use to pay $10 a lid (1 OZ), but today's weed is whole lot better, I smoke in a bong to last me longer.
Way 2 much money 564 dollars for an oz. At store's 180 on streets they are greedy the store's are greedy
“Don’t want to encourage use.” I don’t smoke marijuana, never have and never will a shop hasn’t changed that. But I agree with legalization because adults should be able to make their own decisions. Not to mention how it will help with tax revenue And dealing with the ridiculousness of imprisoning people. There are countless reasons to legalize it. I’d Just like to see it financially helping the same communities and people it at first criminalized.
Why you haven't tried it?

I really like cannabis, it was instantly my choice over any other substances... Felt really confused about how alcohol is so embraced in our society, actually a bit angry. Did some really dumb things while I was drunk... Alcohol makes people (at least me) really dumb 😟. In our society it's criminalized...
Now I haven't use anything for years. But more likely to start using due my health conditions.

I can't tell whether something is for me IN ALL cases... But I know for sure that I don't want even touch chemically produced drugs tho. And I know I'm not attracted to same gender. So, I guess something one just knows 😊.
I just want to be able to smoke it without worrying about being rejected from a job because I smoked it a week prior.
This is by far the most frustrating thing that hopefully will change sometime in my life , it’s crazy a high functioning alcoholic can get a job just fine but if some smoked a joint 2 weeks prior they can’t get the job to provide for there family.
Even if it was legal you might still not get that job. Depending on the company they wouldn't a hire a alcoholic even if it was legal. You just got to find some of the newer more progressive companies. I worked for one and the application required a drug test but when it came to do the drug test they said they reserved the right to ask for it but don't actually take one.
@@richarddash6654 arent our institutions and systems of oppression just dandy

That's a private business though. Regardless if it's legal or not they have a right to drug test you and not hire you based on their findings.

@@dreel37 your bent
@@dreel37 depends on your experience. Far fewer people develop issues with cannabis than alcohol, however, far fewer is not zero. I have a love hate relationship with it. I use cannabis to help me sleep, and for that it is better than any medication that I have been prescribed before. That said, I try and use the minimum possible to get the effect I need because I don't like the out of control feeling that I get from being high (in fact, I try to avoid weeds that get me high). I avoid alcohol for the later reason as well.
Weed is not far worse than alcohol. That is fact. However, it is not without risk or issues, and can be abused, just as any substance can be.
@@thedovahkiin1999 you're not your
@@FreeManFreeThought Fair point
@@dreel37 The scientific consensus you see in studies etc. suggests Cannabis to be quite a bit safer than alcohol. Some people actually go as far as to expect a financial relief of medical insurance companies in Canada due to people switching from alcohol to cannabis following the legalization. Whether or not that turns out to be true remains to be seen.
But obviously it being considered safer than alcohol doesn't make it safe and for some people cannabis can still be more problematic than alcohol. It simply depends on the individual.
Seeing the changes in points of view on marijuana in just the last 5 decades is astounding. Anyone who has smoked it in this lifetime knows that the stigma against it is unjust and unwarranted. It makes me so happy to see that we can now (in most places) be able to smoke a pipe at the end of the day in peace and use it in a medical or recreational setting to help with ailments. or set & chill Just goes to show how your government can spin a narrative for their own agendas.
The most important part is to allow recreational use and growing on one's own property to make it actually accessible and profitable by anyone. Not just big Alchy, Tobacco and PHARMA! Pharmaceuticals are killing everyone in our country in some way.

This is completely false, to preserve moral values. The government must restrict using these kind of drugs that corrupts people 's mind and have bad influence on future generations. I think all states should permanently ban drugs like this, this is like opium, it is not like candy, it should be prosecuted and put tougher sentences. The problem of these ridiculous freedom is it causes poison to moral values in society, and should be enforced and labeled illegal activities, period
I never heard anybody overdosing on Marijuana and yet its illegal, I've heard plenty of people getting alcohol poisoning because they drank too much yet that's legal.
Alcohol is much more addictive and people could die without getting drunk so if they banned alcohol (they did before) it would just make the problems worse. Also more importantly think about all the tax money on beer alone

As an inverstor in canadian pot stock, I would love to see the legalisation going foward 😊
discourage use? There are alcoholic beverage ads everywhere. And I didn't hear him say anything about legislation limiting alcohol advertisements or cutting down on the amount of liquor stores in any given place. Until this country treats pot the same way alcohol has been treated we're gonna continue to have a problem with pot.
Oh don't even get me started, they make it so you can't buy cannabis in Colorado in a see-through container... Because they don't want the kids to be exposed to it. Yet there can be walls of liquor where you can see the color just fine. If you take a kid into a liquor store You just have to keep a good eye on them and make sure they don't tip over a display... You try to take your kid into a medical dispensary, you'll get CPS called on you. Regulate it like alcohol, my ass. MED is a bunch of morons- it took them 6 years to start testing for heavy metals.
Even better, treat all drugs like pot
💥 ruclips.net/video/2C84koMOUng/видео.html 💥
Yeah, the guy who supported only legalizing for medical use didn't have any sound logical arguments. Really, the government shouldn't be trying to encourage or discourage use. They should just allow adults to make their own decisions and stop throwing people in jail for activities that don't victimize anyone.
Neither substance should be promoted and recreational use should be discouraged. Sick of people thinking that marijuana should be used for anything but medical usage and that substance use of any kind doesn't create a dependence that cuts into the bank accounts of users.
Fun fact: marijuana is legal in 15 US states with a population of 100 million... that’s more Americans enjoying legal cannabis than any other country on earth...
now lets make it 330 million people

@@aaronlandry3934 Could say the same when Republicans were in office. They had four years to legalize it federal, but they didn't.
@@aaronlandry3934 In fact most Republican sates are against the legalization of weed.
@@EazyIbra Yeah, that’s called a partisan issue. The exact same reason why Democrats oppose immigration reform despite that being an actual problem. They oppose it solely because Republicans are for it, so Republicans respond by being opposed to things like weed. They’re objectively wrong for it, but that’s why politicians are worthless. Democrats have been pro weed for decades and had Supermajority with Obama whom was supposedly proweed, yet did not legalize it for absolutely no reason. Democrats have yet another Supermajority and there is once again no reason to not legalize weed. If they cannot accomplish it a second time around, do they really deserve a third?
Actually, you’d be very surprised at how liberal a lot of Republican states are on weed. Louisiana is actually pretty close to legalization. I don’t know, if the Democrats can’t accomplish it, Republicans might just take over legalization and get it done faster. That is, unless Democrats stop being lazy

Whenever I take high doses, it is usually very unpleasant. (unless it's a concentrate). Indicas at high doses make my body feel like it's being crushed and it's like my skin is trying to run away.

That's the main issue, not the fact that it is not legalized outside medical use as much as tobacco which itself would be hardly as popular if made illegal thus less accessible for the average consumer...

The reason why there are now over 30 states allowing medicinal marijuana and eight that legalized it is that in 1988 the DEA's own Administrative Law Judge Francis Young ordered the DEA to move Cannabis from Section One of the Substance Control Act and place it in Schedule Two so that it could be prescribed by a physician. The DEA ignored his ruling. How could they do this? That's what the States asked too and never got a straight answer. But that is par for the course for the DEA.

But alcohol is legal, don’t even smoke pot but knows alcohol is waaaay more dangerous than weed

Here’s a bigger question where did the pot come from back in the 1980s 90s early 2000s there was a company scientific company GW pharmaceuticals they distributed to the population they were on the stock exchange trading at $35 of stock when legalization hit it went to 180 now I can’t find them on the stock exchange. Where did they go?
All these old men and women against marijuana don't know anything 👴
If Marijuana was legal all over the world, the world would be such a better place.
Y si
Vollkommen richtig
Sure ✌
See the thing is, it being legal doesn't increase it's consumption. Just public consumption. The same number of people will be smoking it illegally as they would if it was legal. Legalizing it will not change anything.
@@car_soup9452 being legal makes it much easier to get
Ask any teenager. Is it harder to get alcohol or weed? Alcohol because it's regulated.
Nope, it's because its more difficult and not as popular to brew beer, especially in large amounts. Anyone can grow weed easily and sell it.
@@ironman2326 as someone who makes booze, it is actually quite easy. But it is much easier to buy it than make it for most people, which is why very few people make their own booze.

They already banned alcohol it didn't work either.

That's what I've been saying! Yet people at large only support pot legalization!

@@Cacowninja Uh, it being illegal is the government controlling us and telling us what to do. in most legal states you can grow it yourself, or still go through the black market, so any argument about legalization giving the government more power over people or being bad for consumers is complete horsehit period. Legalize it, then if you want you can keep going to your street dealer if you want, but let the rest opf us have freedom and enjoy not worrying about our entire futures being ruined for smoking weed.

Short answer answer absolutely. Our society cannot prevail without full weed legalization. Also legal recreational weed in Colorado is a testament that legalization of weed is highly beneficial to society.
the tax revenue alone has inspired many other states already
All states need it legal I grow so much weed in colorado

@@360.Tapestry I'm the sober one... you're the one in an altered state of mind smoking weed...I live in CT right next to Mass where it's recreational and have seen the lines of losers waiting to spend their hard earned money just to burn some braincells. This is just what the Chinese and Russians want a dumbed down population that just wants drugs. Look around the universities it's mostly Chinese and Indians studying to be professionals while the average American is taking a liberal arts class or public health Major.... Which means you'll be working at Kohl's or home Depot with tons of debt....not to mention the 30 percent tax and 500 dollar an ounce bag of weed... It's called weed for a reason. Next you guys will be selling heroin to the public it's already decriminalized in Portland. Hopefully that will come to Denver Soon too so you can see the crowd that brings. You're too blind to see that the country your parents parents grew up in was prosperous and lawful. We're definitely spiraling downwards and if you think the government is going to change anything for the better think again
When I first moved to Colorado I was excited to get into the industry, I came prepared. I had a thousand or so seeds comprised of 4 strains that my friend and I developed in Florida during the early 2000’s. I’m talking stabilised feminised seed stock thats consistency with little deviation in phenotype and always female. It took years of work and spreadsheets but it was all worth it. I made it to the promised land I just need to fill out some forms have my small facility inspected and we’re good. Not so fast.
Unfortunately for me I arrived in Denver 1 year before they changed all the laws, laws that clearly are beneficial to large corporate growers and dispensaries. People who can reach in and pull a million bux out of their pocket and not blink twice. This decision by the state to create an overly complicated system that suddenly excluded anyone with any felony record for drugs, and I’m talking simple possession. They now required that all product from seed/clone to dried product had to be tracked from seed/clone to finished product, software that could track that sort of metrics didn’t even exist. They required not only cameras but the Controllers and hard drive backup has to be in a secured room that must be inspected by the police department. Even the security room has to have a camera both inside and outside the room.
Needles to say, I had to shutter my new operation 2 months after I finally got all my inspections and paperwork approved under the old system.
What all this has done is hurt small owners and worse yet it’s destroying the plant it’s self.
Commercial retailers/growers in Colorado are hands down the worst I’ve ever seen when it comes to strain selection. You go into the shoppes and there’s strains that you never heard of, never heard of them because they are convinced that then need to always be offering a new fresh product that no one else had. They do this by “pollen dusting”, one strain to another and coming up with a clever/ironic name. They don’t stabilise the seed stock nope just cross this with this make seeds the. Use those seeds that haven’t been stabilised to make this “new strain” worse yet they mix those together and before ya know it the genetics begins to fail not to mention do this enough and you have 30 types of product to sell that all looked taste and provides roughly the same high.
Denver has gone from having couture Bougie bud growers that supplied dispensaries with premium strains that with nothing but the best nutrients harvested when the tricombe were either amber or milky and then cured for 6 months or longer for a full smooth rich taste. To what we have now, over priced commercially grown bud with questionable genetics that are usually never flushed fully, and cured poorly. Since profits are lower quality has suffered, and I fear on a long enough time line Those amazing strains war have eventually been crossed over again and again until it’s just one homogenous strain with only subtle differences but ever shoppe is going to have their own name for it. Which about sums up pot in Colorado, it’s more about the hype and image then the actual product and unique properties that it holds. Colorado image over substance
I just wanna ask the guy at the end of the federal vs state law disconnection segment why he feels so strongly to discourage use? I think people should be informed of what they’re getting into but it should be up to the individual whether they wanna smoke weed or not just like how they get to decide if they wanna destroy their liver w alcohol
Marijuana has NO business on Schedule 1, and it never did; it seems to me that this is the easiest answer to marijuana reform at the federal level... move it elsewhere on the Schedule (or off of it altogether).
It needs to be removed from the schedule system altogether and be treated the same way as Alcohol/Tobacco(This does not apply to medical use)
Here in Canada 🇨🇦 we legalized Cannabis use. The sky hasn't fallen here where many said it would. We have a new industry with tax dollars, instead of forking it out by arresting people from using it
But what about the prison industry don’t you care about those jobs that are lost because of legalization?
And how can you keep a society together without fear? The fear of your house being broken into by storm troopers and taking you away? Lol

Take it from someone who has smoked it for almost 40 years, there isn't anything wrong with it, you can't over dose on it, alcohol is a lot worse. It doesn't lead to other drugs, however getting arrested for it, may make someone lead to other drugs. I've been in prison for it and have to felonies for it, get arrested made it where I could never get a good job, unless I worked for myself, and that's what I ended up doing.
A bunch of drunk guys, will start a fight. A bunch of guys on pot, will start a band.
Alcohol is way way worse !!!
Not really. Dope interferes with depth and speed perception, slows response time, slows and dulls mental alertness. It's just as big a driving danger as alcohol. And when a crisis presents itself, someone doped up is desensitized and oblivious to the seriousness at hand and ineffective and ill equipped to manage and solve the crisis.

Tho it should be up to the person in pain what works best for them. If cannibis works...great.
If opiates work...thats fine too.
Chronic pain the the #1 medical condition for approved use in the medical marijuana program. It goes to show that with "recreational" adult use legalization, access to the medical benefits of the plant are significantly expanded. Don't worry, recreational users will get the medical benefit whether they want it or not.
You have worth and I am so happy you can now see it. Keep going and be the example that another human needs to see.
Generations in the future won’t be able to fathom why we had a prohibition on weed like we can’t with alcohol and our predecessors

@@realitynowassigned I meant to say that instead of recognising his own criminality he rather imagined he saw criminality in others ie projected his own mentality onto his perception of other people. It's classic because lots of people do the same, they mentally cast their own flaws onto others and then seek to attack or blame them for those flaws which were in fact their own. Also its very entertaining to observe dimwits being dim like watching a dog chase its own tail - because they actually do not recognise their own stupidity aka Dunning-Kruger effect. (So we lol).
I'm glad they finally admitted that it's never been a law against marijuana, it's a law against the people that use it, at first it was immigrants from the south, then in the 60s & 70s it was the people that hated Politicians.

That's not true. For one thing other people are on medications that interact with marijuana. So far I've never seen a dope smoker concerned about how the side smoke is harmful to others and interacts with their meds. You say just leave the atmosphere. I have. I've missed buses etc because I needed fresh drug free air. Aside from the issue, everyone also deserves fresh air. In life I've learned that people who are dead set on doing whatever they want will always make excuses to do it. They have to lie to themselves to quench their consciences.
@@dallasw2465 Do you miss busses because it smells too much like cigarette smoke?
@@dallasw2465 I get your point, but if drunk people can cause mayhem in society and drive while drunk, so can we smoke and bother your nose a little bit.
