House Passes Bill To Decriminalize Marijuana At The Federal Level | NBC News NOW
Gotta love the Democrats. More concerned about weed than relief for out of work families.
The MSM is using COVID to frighten Americans into compliance…this is pure BS and we all need to fight back!!! Small business is the backbone of America and it is their aim to destroy our country. The MSM platforms have all been bought and paid for. Mayors and governors who defund police, let criminals out of jail, lock down businesses…These are all Democrats and they are in bed with the Deep State who in turn is quite coordinated with the China Communist Party. The reason they are acting out of character and imposing such illogical measures is in a coordinated effort to destroy small businesses. They are trying to get people to a point where they feel like they have no choice but to surrender and let the government take over. DONT LET THEM!!! All business owners need to coordinate and open their businesses. We are at war and YES there will be casualties…Everyone needs to STAND UP and SAVE our nation! RESIST at all cost! FIGHT!!!
1 Thessalonians 5:6
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
Now let’s do that with psilocybin too.
America’s downfall MADE IN CHINA NBCABCCNNCBSCCP WON’T TELL YOU
We gave China our money to defeat us
What about all the people locked up for marijuana Democratics and Replubicans?!🤔 Oh! So can they pass a bill to have white cops to stop killing black kids!! My bad they been doing it for 400 years.🤦🏿
She is a very bad person. They are all rotten people. We need to physically remove these people from the federal buildings and fire Them, they are bad people. And it’s about time they got dragged onto the street and kick them to the curb!!!!
Free those in jail and give them free food coupons for a year. thanks
I’m building a new website about this
@t
EMERGENCY EXPUNGEMENT/ PARDONS: ANY U.S.A. TAXPAYER APPLICANT WHOM WAS DENIED ENTRANCE INTO THE U.S. MILITARY OR LOST EMPLOYMENT DUE TO THC; SHOULD BE APOLOGIZED TO N RETRO – COMPENSATED 2020. civil rights violation…
ANYONE WHOM WAS EVER DENIED INSURANCE DUE TO THC ALSO SHOULD BE RETRO – COMPENSATED USA 2020
Never pass. Cartels make too much money funneling weed here. So sorry. Until the cartels ties are cut…..weed will always be illegal. Funny tho. Thought we were free. We ask…they say no.
won’t see a wink of light in the senate. POS McConnell
LEGALIZE MARIJUANA ACROSSED THE BOARD LETS GO ALREADY
No updates
Republicans won’t give you $2000 or Marijuana. Why ever vote for them again?
HR 3884
Yeah? I was once VERY nearly arrested in Nevada for a pack of zig zag papers in my car.
Another reason I have absolutely no faith or confidence in any politicians who get paid to make up stupid laws.
The war on drugs was never more than a backdoor access for govt officials to get rich
Anyone else here after the Democrats overtook the senate? I can’t believe this may actually happen 🥺
Next bill should be to decriminalize the usage of hard drugs, and refer users to rehab
So is it legal federally or not???
Blah blah blah “and drugs have won “ their acting skills 2021 are horrible wake up ppl
I’m A grower and License supplier of medical marijuana (WEED) strains I grow both indica and sativa strains,Hashish,Supply seeds, rooted sprouts,mushroom, Carts and cannabis oil. I handle very discreet shipment on both illegal and Legal States its 100% secured delivery…
Just wondering if you are interested, so i can send you menu and prices of our products Thanks. 9373690318
About time
Old white people
This might be good, pass this out at the riots
Does this mean if it gets legalize federally will it be legal in every state?
remember guys, Legalize not decriminalize. There is a difference.
War on Drugs is not the answer
Russia subsidizes vodka so all Russians can afford it in bulk. By keeping people intoxicated they won’t notice how bad things are in Russia.
Lawmakers in the U.S. have the same thing in mind only they want to strangle people with additional taxes while we’re doped up on “pot”.
That’s because her son and her has stock in the despinceries
I wonder how this would effect drug testing with your employer. Anyone wanna chime in?
Woohoo!
Legalize cannabis
America has never been more divided than now, let’s bring people together and pass this bill
YES.
Leave me alone
Weed
Weed is so strong nowadays that you can’t tell me it isn’t at least a little bit of a gateway drug cause if you will smoke that stuff that nox yer nik ina nirt that you wouldn’t try something else.No need to but if you can’t get any weed you may try anything.
Alcohol destroys more lives.
So if u have a med card then can u get a gun because I read the federal wasn’t allowing guns for med marijuana users
Yet they want to keep pharmaceutical rich with all these pills that get recalled and major side effects
Recommendation:
Toys/metals/protection
Gas/bud/grass
Snow/ white girl etc.
Snapchat carlzola93.
He will help you.
Give me a thumb up 👍for thanks.
More Act pass in 2021
What about probationers im tripping cuzz im still dirty
🤯
Took 2 months for me to hear about this. There is no 1st amendment rights in a religious police state. That is the level it was when I offered George Bush a hit off of a joint. They have been kidnapping and torturing me. My last jury duty they threatened to blow my head off for telling the judge the court was kangaroo. All other jurors were speaking other languages. They would execute George Washington and my forefathers for growing marijuana.
Put Nancy Pelosi in prison for wanting pot for her and her husband
If they legalize marijuana why shouldn’t they legalize moonshine
If you were Corvain Cooper
They say NO till they say YES
Wayment
I don’t pay taxes on weed, why would i start. Now if your talking concentrates and lab tested strains I’ll pay the premium. But again half the country isn’t ready with the crops an infrastructure
Only took a pandemic, economy depression, state of emergencies, Trump riots and income inequality & Job losses and states like New Jersey hemorrhaging money to get the ball rolling. Took a decade to start. . It took cali from 1996 to now to perfect the laws now everyone late to the party.
Republicans out of Touch with the nations ppl
Few congress seats & senate are for 420 vs We The People
States owe the ppl for Wrongdoing
Do reporters think we can catch the virus from listening to them on TV? Why do they insult us by making us listen to their muffled voices because of their masks. Masks are good, but, there is a time and place for them!
Some employers need to stop drug testing for thc then. Some employers have to but come on.
LOL, I mean with the state of things, it’s the least they could do really. It’s embarrassing that it took this long…
offer the Senate some liquor then they’ll pass it. Bunch of drunks.
A government shutdown is THE biggest antiAmerican move the politions can do.
If thinks don’t go thier way, shut down the government, the congress has to much power and need to be checked ,
The next uprising will NOT be peacefully done. It’s not over.
The blonde aT Capitol hill is hot af. Take off the mask behbeh
Bigfoot is smiling.
About time. Way over due
Im 53 years old and been smoking since I was 16, i always got it anyway
Too bad they won’t vote on it in the Senate. Sad. The Dems didnt expect to win the Senate. They would never have passed it in the House if they thought they would win the Senate. Matt Gates is awesome. Georgia reps took it off the balet. That’s why the dems won GA. What is Liberty?
I love Mary Jane.
Plastic surgeons send her discount coupons. Pelosi is the ugly face of Leftist politics in America.
End the Circus. Decriminalization* and Legalization is the only answer
Edit. Added Decriminalization.
100% Decriminaliztion … legalization simply allows people ti still go to jail because of whatever reason is placed on the pl;ant and making that a law … decrim takes it off that list
@mcozy333 good point, post edited to reflect that.
@Ryanpwnkins looking deeper into this is Cannabis plant federally illegal ?!? parliment created the word Marijuana to describe ” smoke of cannabis sativa L” … that is no way describes the cannabis plant in all its wonder and glory just the by product of the plant known as smoke … NIDA had controlled all research on the plant and only allows by product research looking at the smoke . when examining the actual plant we came up with this – cannabinoids as anti oxidants and neuroprotecatns #6630507
plus , looking into the Taxonomical side there is no Taxonomy for a marijuana plant … no species of plant, not even a real name for a plant in our database … we do however have Taxonomical data for a Cannabis plant … an herbaceous , flowering angiosperm species of plant in the cannabaceae family . so in that way is the Cannabis plant really Fed illegal when the Word marijuana describes the smoke of the pl;ant only . and even deeper, there was no amendment to our constitution to make it illegal to begin with … parliament created the word marijuana and enforced las on that only… in court they would laugh in your face if asking to prove what species of plant is being the focal [point of any investigation ETC….
@mcozy333 jesus Christ this is good information if correct.
I’m not doubting that you are, I just haven’t heard of this before and would need to read into myself.
after we forced the world to make weed a crime so nixon could hassle people of color. the bull crap law has cost tax payers close too two trillion tax dollars. the federal government dose nothing with out them getting bribes called donations .people know better then the graft driven congress .
how many dead from drunk drivers . i drove for a living and its not hard to spot a person that has gotten stoned on weed. dead center of their lane and just barely doing the speed limit. bouncing up and down when they mess their turn . i would chose a million pot heads over one drunk . anytime. on the road. also the stoners dont talk on their phones while driving.
It should be done long time ago
It’s about time , Texas 😎
Just legalize it already…For Pete’s sake!
Hey hey, hey hey…
If marijuana ever becomes legal nationwide well texas be part of it
Cheech and Chong
Well the people want it, and the states want it, and the senate wants it, I guess all that’s left to wait and see who is really running this country. The people or a handful of rich guys.
Beam Me up Potty !! It’s safer than nicotine or alcohol !!
I’m still high from last night 🤯
About to lose college financial aid because of a plant
Wish the federal would tell the states to legalize it all us wide so people can at least have some comfort for the pain and suffering
You can pass whatever you want when you know it won’t get through the senate
I find a cannabis actually helped treat covid-19 they most definitely need to fully Legalize It federally
Nobody has ever died from marijuana
If they decriminalize it completely there would be less crimes there would be less people going around in the streets hurting each other and there would be less people addicted to other hardcore drugs in the streets
The one thing the the PEOPLE on both sides agree on
SUPPORT THE MORE ACT IMMEDIATELY
Legalize it you shitbags
100% Decriminalize and Legalize. No limit to quantity or number of plants for growth for any adult.
You own your body, not the government, period.
Makes sense only corrupt politicians wouldn’t agree.
Not enough, all states should follow through, its been time.
Oh god she’s scary looking and acting
Real man smoke weeds, marijuana have been legalized get your real and good weed from #dicehacker1 on telegram, the dude have a good stuff I got my weed yesterday and his price was amazing!
Give’em bread, circuses and pot…
Hallelujah! Mashallah!
WONDERING IF THIS IS THE REAL CURE😐
Well, Nancy, we all wear masks,see.. and see, Nancy, see, one of those masks is green.see.
big pharma has too much money involved. they want you addicted to their pills, not smoking plant. =( sad
vote democrat , from the UK…
