Believe it when I see it, been waiting 45 year's.

its already a thing for more than half of all americans.

[@user-cm8qn3zl7h]

@@technodrone313 It's been a thing for myself, 45 year's now. I've always smoked, going keep smoking, legal or not.

In my blue sanctuary city of San Francisco, the city has banned plastic drinking straws but freely passes out syringes and tin foil to make sure our addicts don't harm themselves.

Keep trying 😂😂😂

could be worse but it definitely feels like our rulers aren't hearing us.

So if it’s a schedule 3 drug and someone has a prescription for it can they still be fired from their job if it’s in their system?

[@gilla2092]

I weighed 81lb before I started smoking medicinal. I weigh 125 now, my whole life turned around. How tf can someone take opiates and be fine with their script but mine is for decoration only?!

[@Dylan-vp3bq]

@@gilla2092 Oh I can tell you why opiates are so easily accessible for medical use and cannabis isn’t. It’s taxes. You can’t just make an OxyContin or perc 20 in a tent in your closet but people can grow weed easily. The government doesn’t want the people having anything they can’t tax. And what’s more by keeping us on the poison they call “medicine” we stay sick and weak where cannabis gives us a way out of that. If your average Joe American can’t smoke cannabis with out being persecuted at work and losing their job then this is all just for show for the election coming up.

[@Dylan-vp3bq]

@@gilla2092 becuase the government can control who creates opiates and the tax money they can make off of it. Not to mention the “medicine” (poison) our government and big pharma are pumping into our society is keeping our nation sick and weak which is the way they want it. If we can still be fired for using cannabis even if we have a prescription then this all for absolutely nothing but show

[@Dylan-vp3bq]

@@gilla2092 Because the government doesn’t want you to be strong and healthy. They keep pumping our citizens full of poison they call “medicine” to keep us sick and weak. If this doesn’t mean we can smoke cannabis with a prescription from a doctor and not have to worry about losing our jobs then this was all just for show for election season.

It's already federaly legal. It's being openly sold everywhere now. Hundreds of companies are already shipping it nationwide to your door through USPS. It's being called thca flower. It's real just a legal loop whole. The way the 2018 farm bill classifies hemp pretty much legalized marijuana. All marijuana is low in THC but high in thca even the best. Aretehemp been cheap and dependable. Their are many other companies to choose from. You will probably find better online than some smoke shop but I've seen some good in Houston stores.

[@WyattsVlog]

Currently, it's federally illegal. That's the reason why your insurance won't pay for it. Where have you been? What facts are you reading? You are wrong, dude.

[@josephpeterson1081]

​​​​​@@WyattsVlog Do a little research on thca flower. Hemp with high levels of thca is federaly legal. You'll be surprised what's available now.

[@ahimel]

@@WyattsVloghe’s never had the real thing 😂

[@JeffisWinning]

Hemp THCA flower is federally legal under the 2018 farm bill. It looks just like it's illegal cousin and gives the same effect due to THCA converting into THC when heated up. I can go buy it in a shop here. The more you know!

[@josephpeterson1081]

@@ahimel There is no difference between federally legal thca flower and marijuana.

[@williambrucesanders6878]

Wait its illegal 🤔🤔

They will eventually legalize it to cut street dealers out. They want those taxes.

Trump already made it legal. I don't know why we're even dealing with this. Just make it federally legal and just end this. We still have alcohol and that's the worst thing we have that's legal...

[@josephpeterson1081]

​@@Matt-ru5rwTrump signed the 2018 farm bill that federaly legalized hemp with high levels of thca. That what marijuana is. Hundreds of companies are shipping it nationwide through USPS.

@josephpeterson1081 I know you're stupid, but he didn't legalize Marijuana. Keep licking that orange diaper.

[@ahimel]

@@Matt-ru5rwDon’t listen to the MAGA boy crying in his pillow. You are correct. They ARE NOT the same. THCA stands for tetrahydrocannabinolic acid and is the acidic form of THC before it's heated. It does not cause intoxication like THC.
