4:38 stop flirting with my girl bruh
Still doesn’t excuse our actions in law enforcement for the past 200 years. Come o
30 years ago they made anyone who chose to smoke feel like a criminal (random drug tests!!!) if they already weren’t serving time for possession. Now that there’s money to be made, all of that has gone out the window. However, the stigma is still there deep down. The police loved having low hanging fruit to bust and the power to ruin the lives of millions of young adults, shutting them out of all opportunities just because they smoked weed and were in a shade of brown.
Of course the banks now want some of the money. This will have no problem passing, give the money to banks SMH
Drug dealers ?
Yeah the banks want this landfall of money……..❤️☮️🙏🇺🇸
its time we update who can hold power, i feel like if they’re 55 above then they’re way out of touch with the nation and the growing way of life.
i love weed
it can help with a lot
very important that you personally regulate it tho
micro dose. smoke only at night.
tips from a stoner.
The only reason they are doing this is probably because they finally realized that if they don’t cartels and other dangerous organizations will keep using this as a way to launder their money as they have been doing for several decades.
weed is not federally illegal. they left it up to state. so im confused by this report.
Funny how many people not to many years ago got arrested for marijuana.
👏😇
Gee, I guess the Federal government lied when they banned Opium and Marijuana, for causing race-mixing…hmmm. oh, and causing “white children” to listen to Jazz music.
It’s time to repeal all race based legislation!
22 states 😮
I guess D’Nile is more than just a River.
#makeitlegal 🎉
👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼
About time
One Step Closer. We are getting so close to finally stop seeing Weed as a horrible drug when its helped many people. Time to join the civilized world.
Just federally legalize it DUHHHHHHHHH
Bitcoin you fools
Is it because of digital currency. Janet Yelling just said America will run out of cash by June. Can’t buy marijuana if all the banks are tanking and won’t have cash to dole out. First it was the national coin shortage. Soon the national cash shortage.
Legalize marijuana in all 50 states 🥦🇺🇲
Than we can finally get money in banks. Now lower the price and tax so people can actually buy
So many things to say, basically did you do anything with marijuana before it came legal, if so then use that, if not then yes your on your own
It just allows the gov. To have access to the cash. Why we lying
They doing this because cash will be gone
🫃🏼Looks like CANNABIS is being used to pass other laws 👹
Finally when even criminal cartels can big bank.. it’s not a new thing If ask me😂😂😂😂
iv just turned 30 this year . all my life, my teens , my 20s . its always been to watch for cops ……my mom and dad watched for the same thing …its every year now . idk why . but our state doesnt like weed . i dont see texas legalizing it any time soon . as much as id like it to . our state is weird . i walk the streets of the woodlands and i see those from russia and plates on cars of mexico . they flock to us . but we cant seem to get on board with smoking weed … they spend so much money here and cant event smoke weed . idk whats up …..but its wack
She blinking so many times lol
That bud is trash
This country is such a joke.
Alcohol / tobacco are ok they don’t hurt anyone yet marijuana is demonized it’s pure hypocrisy !! 🇺🇸🦅✌🏻
People more worried about smoking weed while theyll watch the Country burn under Biden. Unbelievable Unbelievable
“Maybe we should research something becoming legal that millions of people consume”… their response… no… yeah makes total sense
🤔🤔🤔
😂😂😂 and that sounds bad for the dentist industry and candy business lol they need bad health to stay in business
New marijuana legislation show legalize it within the United States
They half to legalize then if banks can take so called drug money yup
Lol
You just told everyone how he transfers his money .
GREAT
I hope it go recreational im medical now so cops cant tuch diss i tell them kick rocks
You not better than anyone else just because you think you better at being nasty and demonic and hateful cause if your skin complexion Samuel Hayes dumb even though his cuban he’s black to his racist petophile government that they control like he ain’t shi
Like I said they brought guns to a bomb fight
Owe remember Jenna Valentino was a queen what is it that Daffney Summer Tarantino don’t know how to open not even her bank nor know the codes to open it in UK
Nor do Gretchen nor alessa cara etc. But I do
Notice this is happening in almost every state with legal marijuana guess this banking crisis is making the feds itchy for a little instant access to that marijuana revenue
What a concept! Doing something right by bipartisan lawmakers! Maybe there is hope.
They’re doing it for public safety…? Who are they protecting? Not the people. Just shows how out of touch politicians are with the people who sat them
Every thing that is taxed belongs to the goverment.The china plastic belongs to the people and this is taxed also and people are left with the dump fee
Does the state have the same banking problem when they get their 28% from the business.
That’s because the banks are going to drop like flies, so they need the billions in pot money to keep afloat. Saved by mj bailout 😂
This cannabis banking has been a huge issue since cannabis was legalized back in 1996 in California. The real reason that the law has not changed is due to the drug enforcement agency. They do not want cannabis businesses to be successful
NEXT: Paying for Air!
What will all the cartels do now that their best money laundering conduit will dry up? Poor poor cartels.
🤣 if you cared about the community you wouldn’t normalize drug usage
“Super interesting”…”Totally”… The gen z is coming folks!
Why even support these dispensaries? You think you got a good deal, it’s not.
🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂….. Montana, Wyoming these backwoods hick fly over states shows you just how far behind times they are……. The pot boom is over with people it was over with back in 95 on the west coast…. See the look on these greedy criminal politicians faces just eager to get their hands on some tax money that they can steal right out from underneath the American people…… like taking candy from a baby.🤣😂😂
Its a medication never stop protesting
Called a cash crop for a reason
I agree with that cop, if they are going operate like a business, then treat them like a business and not a drug dealer.
I’ll just keep breaking state and federal laws until they do something about it I guess.
And what’s worse is anyone working in cannabis cannot be approved to buy a home in the US.
👆👆👆🏻👆👆🏻👆👆
The GOP will block it just like they block everything. Legalize it everywhere ! People want pot, not more guns.
Now go back in the history books and pay back all the victims that had to do prison time and then the money to make things right
REVENUE FOR AMERICA
WE JUST HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR THE CHINESE INVESTORS AMERICAN COMPANYS ONLY SORRY NOT SORRY 🙏 🙏🏿
THANK YOU NBC 🇺🇸🤘🏿
Looks like Julie went to Montana
Good for them way safer.
Not good to be able to buy pot with a credit card. People going to lose everything lol.
The fact that we are still having to have conversations of legalization after all these years is ridiculous. Alcohol is leaps and bounds worse for health, society, safety, etc. So frustrating how long this is taking…
Legalizzzzze ittttt!
They will have more chance to distribute to our children. My son had received it without any signature. That was totally wrong. they can not be trusted with handling the controlled substances.
It’s all B.S
Now the banks are failing, they are magnanimously accepting pot money 💰
DISPENSARIES ARE CHARGING WAY TOO MUCH !!!!!!!!!!
They need legalize this and gambling already
This is really upsetting to Weyerhaeuser.
Marijuana is poison. Plain and simple.
no it’s not you’re brainwashed
Nothing on the illegal dispensaries popping up all over NYC, many located practically next to schools. Guess who’s going in there.
I live in CO and believe in legal Cannabis but the NY “rollout” is beyond a disgrace and they are never going to see nearly enough tax revenue to cover their costs and offset the negatives that do come with it. This is a fact
Here we goooo lol 😂😂😂
Marijuana a schedule 1, you Americans are messed up. Look north of the border, they are ages ahead of your 18th century politics
Oh dang! Where can I get some of those clones?
Why can cash be used at a dispensary but not card? It said Federally illegal however you can legally buy from a dispensary with cash but not a card. I don’t see a difference.
Better! Those sketchy ATM machines they have in some shops are well sketchy! Tons of illegal transactions and credit card robbery
Good grief this president is so inept
Cannabis industry needs to lobby
👆👆👆🏻👆🏻👆👆
Interesting how Republicans get onboard when laws start hurting banks.
Treat them like a legit business or they will go back to the street
👆👆👆🏻👆👆🏻👆
What about the millions of So called African-Americans in jail for it…. You all time is over..
👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆👆🏻👆🏻👆🏼👆🏻
This is fine but we’re is the tax money going WE WANT TO KNOW IS IT UNDER THE RADAR SO THEY CAN POCKET IT
Now that banks are failing…🤣
So know one is thinking they just want access to the millions of dollars these cannabis company’s are producing with company’s knowing ?
A man, Tangarajue was executed in Singapore , for 1kg of cannabis. He represented himself as no lawyers is willing to take up his case
A legitimate business should absolutely have access to legitimate banking. Why are they being discriminated against?
Cannabis should not be on the same schedule as heroin
