  1. People only want to pay a reasonable price for an herb that grows out of the ground, shocking.
    341
  2. I have no idea how these people survive while our country is in the stranglehold of multi-national corporations on every level.
    235
  3. We all have an endocannabinoid system and cannabis will become a big part of mainstream medicine again, thankfully. Why take synthetic substances if a non-toxic organic herb that you can grow works? This is why Big Pharma and the corporate politicians they own are trying their hardest to keep people from gaining legal access.
    233
  4. Legalize the herb and people will stop killing themselves with alcohol.
    230
  5. Country has been a dead genre since the 80's. The music used to be about being a rebel and taking on the man (like Johnny Cash), but modern country stars try to look like boy scouts and corporate tools, it's repulsive.

  6. Jamaica missed the cannabis train, their government blew it. They should've promoted cannabis tourism and hyped up the culture they brought to the world years ago, but the ruling elite said no to that, best to keep the locals poor and un-empowered.
    147
  7. Obama just said that Medicare for all is a new idea, he's a liar and a corporatist working against Americans.
    111
  8. You can't take corporate money and serve Americans, any politician who sucks from that teet is nothing more than a tool for the billionaire class. Great to see Cynthia choosing to serve her American constituents instead of corruption, bravo!
    109
  9. So many in the comments complaining about the Strain Hunters stealing, but these guys put their lives on the line just to collect some seeds, and one even died in Africa working on behalf of Africans.
    108
  10. It's stunning how far Donald and his Republicans have lowered the bar.
    100
  11. Cory Booker is a corporatist who voted against Americans getting their medicine cheaper, which definitely killed and hurt US citizens. F him, Cory serves the ruling class.
    55
  12. All the biggest cannabis channels were removed from YouTube last week, some had over a million subscribers. Corporate media is coming for YouTube now that young people don't want to subscribe to cable, and they want to shut down independent content, especially the stuff they can't compete with or doesn't fit their narrative.
    42
  13. LITTLE MONSTER And that's their choice, unlike getting shot. Are you really this dumb?
    41
  14. Thank Bill Clinton for the '96 Telecommunications Act that allowed five corporations to purchase all the media, and these corporations want Americans to be polarized and misinformed, hence the deterioration of our society. Until Americans demand campaign finance reform, nothing will improve. PS Eric Holder watched bankers fleece the entire world and prosecuted no one.
    32
  15. @Sponge Bob I'd rather my "problem" be feeling euphoric than destroying my body. #idiot
    32
  16. How about a story about how Covid is being used to peddle debt on a massive scale? Notice how corporations received trillions to buy up America during a depression while Americans get crumb dust? That's no accident.
    30
  17. Narcissism is on the rise, and it's the root of societies problems.
    29
  18. Whatever Israel is pushing, I'm not buying.
    27
  19. Central banks/elites/narcissists are coming for it all, this is a critical moment in human history.
    27
  20. Biden sucks regardless of these accusations, he's a corporate tool.
    22
  21. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overdue. Like decades. It would be nice if we had leaders we could follow instead of having to beg and plead with corporate tools like Chuck to stop ruining people's lives.
    22
  22. Vice = propaganda
    19
  23. Your government is bought, just like almost everyone else's is, sadly.
    15
  24. There's no correlation between fame and self-worth, that's what people of all ages don't understand, even Bo.
    15
  25. Big Pharma can't patent a plant, and that's a big downside to legalization for them, especially when home grow is involved. I agree there are other countless foes to legalization for financial reasons, and that cannabis should be de-listed. And don't forget hemp seed, one of the most complete foods on the planet.
    14
  26. Truth.
    12
  27. Thanks for the condescension, but you're missing the point. Big Pharma can't own the entire cannabis plant, they can only own the rights to specific cultivars they produce, so legalization of a plant that can do the same thing that their products do isn't helpful to them. And if you think man can perfectly recreate an organic medicine, you're clueless, what's found inside the trichome head is extremely complex and varies between each cultivar, it's not all just THC.
    12
  28. The things we do to our planet and other living creatures is just disgusting.
    12
  29. Gaslighting is what narcissists do, and we're ruled by narcissists/people who can't feel empathy and crave deception.

  30. "Trump is a dirty foreign agent, and one way or another the depths of his, and his campaigns, collusion(and treason) will be revealed. Flynn, Manafort, Kushner, Sessions, Trump, Page, etc. they're all dirty. Just watch." - Moby This is proof Moby is not smart or a critical thinker, the Russiagate narrative was pure corporate propaganda and he ate up what Rachel Maddow was serving and regurgitated it like a fool.
    12
  31. Democrats are paid to lose, and both parties have the same corporate donors. #corptocracy
    11
  32. I contacted my Democratic senators in Illinois to support legalization of cannabis and both replied saying "marijuana needs more study". Meanwhile, it's already everywhere and the entire West Coast and other states have legalized adult use and home grow. This is what corruption looks like. #corptocracy
    11
  33. Donald Trump ENDORSED her, because he knows she's a liability to the Democratic Party. She is also worth over 100 MILLION dollars, and you think she's going to stand up for the half of America that's poor? How foolish can you possibly be?
    10
  34. Only Vice could find a way to smear conspiracy theories further, they need to change their name to CIA TV.
    10
  35. The real foreign influence on our elections comes from multi-national corporations who have purchased all our representation. Our system of government is called "inverted totalitarianism", where corporate profits are prioritized above the needs of citizens, and this should be taught in schools.
    10
  36. That's exactly what they want, for you to live online where you can be bombarded with propaganda and manipulated, while never being able to resist anything and giving up all that is good about being alive.
    10
  37. Grow up.

  38. Someone sounds jealous of hipsters...

  39. It's straight up fraud and those at the top who profited most still walk away with a fortune. #merica

  40. Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, and Beto O'Rourke would all lose against Trump, anyone can see that a mile away. And no, I'm not a fan of Donald or a Republican.
    8
  41. Gillibrand's source of funding instantly disqualifies her, she's bought. Unless you want a corporatist, your only choices are Bernie and Tulsi.
    8
  42. The corporate tool known as Ajit Pai was appointed by Obama, both parties are diametrically opposed to Americans.
    8
  43. You can't overdose on cannabis. And name calling is for children, grow up.
    7
  44. @Conrad Gifford The ironic part is that CNN, a supposed news organization DIDN'T fact check anything, they just asked the guy paid by the Koch brothers for his opinion. #propaganda
    7
  45. We can't have nice things because of central banks who are obsessed with subjugating and stripping the public of wealth. Vice = propaganda.
    7
  46. Yep, caring about the future is something the left does alone, sadly.
    7
  47.  @dawncarney5161  Biden is a tool for central banks, just like Trump and Obama. It's time for Americans to wake up and stop playing polarization games, we need to stand together.
    6
  48. @download333 Obama is a corporatist, please show me any progressive legislation he championed that challenged the status quo in any way.
    6
  49. Um...try reading my full comment before scolding me.
    6
  50. Kevin Schmidt The difference now is jobs are disappearing with nothing to replace them, and automation is ramping up.
    6
  51. @Killa Mike Stealing from who, God? You act as if these town people invented cannabis. And Strain Hunters are looking to make these rare genetics available to everyone, instead of only being available to a few hundred people. Such false outrage. Also, if anyone wants seeds from my neighborhood, go ahead and take them without paying me anything, I'm totally cool with that.
    6
  52. Vaccine passport = fascism.

  53. Media is nothing more than a mouthpiece for central banks that want to subjugate you.

  54. Brainwashed corporatist wants people to suffer when we can easily afford to take care of them. #idiot
    6
  55. 100% fear propaganda. Vice is for sheep.
    6
  56. People want to downplay the importance of this issue, but locking up and messing with the lives of people who find a non-toxic herb of use is beyond absurd and cruel. So glad to see the un-criminalizing of normal citizens, it's long overdue. #civilrights
    5
  57.  @pietrojenkins6901  ​ @Pietro Jenkins Beto O'Rourke lost to Ted Cruz, who lost to Trump. And you think I'm delusional. LOL
    5
  58. I know, I've been to Malaysia and Singapore and heard about club raids where they test everyone's urine, absurd and cruel to say the least. Change has to start somewhere though, and there must be something one can do to help move things in the right direction no matter how incremental. Best of luck to you.
    5
  59. @El Bernie Sanders just pressured Amazon into raising their minimum wage, that's a clear example of a politician helping Americans.
    5
  60. @Rafeala Mora Bernie is a centrist in reality if you look at his policies. But keep eating up your authoritarian corporatist propaganda, like a brainwashed tool of the oligarchy if that's what makes you happy.
    5
  61.  @r3dp1ll  The awful subjugation/Fascist reset.
    5
  62. @Robert M. Dunn I recommend only using plants that are beneficial to your health, rather than potentially lethal.
    5
  63. The Republican agenda sides more with corporations, so the donors put their money behind strong Republican and weak Democratic candidates, but either outcome they win. If the Democrat loses their race, they are guaranteed what's called "a golden parachute", meaning they land a sweet lobbyist gig or some other comfortable corporate job. History is riddled with politicians who become lobbyists, look at Howard Dean as a perfect example. There is one party, the corporate party, and they are diametrically opposed to empowering American citizens. The oligarchy wants us to be poor, dumb, unable to access healthcare, and polarized, because that's what works best for them.
    5
  64. Obama let CitiGroup select his entire cabinet, he held the door open for a Trump presidency. Barrack also gave Trump extra surveillance powers before leaving office, total Wall Street tool.
    5
  65. Guys like this are just brainwashed tools, so little point to interviewing them, we already know how dumb and violent they are.
    5
  66. Know your enemy, Israel. They are playing all of us with COVID 1984 and their goal is subjugation.
    5
  67. It's so wonderful that storefronts in every American town are empty or struggling, and people get to work for one major corporation with massive leverage over them, hooray!
    5
  68.  @Andy-qs6me  Gaslight me all you want, that's what narcissists/fascists do. #unfazed
    5
  69.  @Andy-qs6me  What's a "facist"? LOL
    5
  70. @Philly Love Capitalism doesn't mean corporations own American's representation, that's corporatism, and children aren't being taught about that reality in school. I'm not against corporations existing and serving their clients, what I'm against is them running our government and dictating the direction of the country with no moral compass while sucking up our tax dollars through corporate welfare. I actually can't stop buying their products and neither can you, because we have no other choices, genius. Way to be an attack dog for inverted totalitarianism, the oligarchy thanks you.
    5
  71. No mistake, Vice is corporate propaganda.
    5
  72. Putin was involved in the terrorist attacks against his own people in order to start the Chechen war under false pretenses to ensure his grip on power, the guy is pure evil. Hopefully Russians will wake up one day and murder him, it's their only hope of moving forward.

  73. If you can't handle others speaking their mind unfettered, then stay off the internet, we have waaaaay too much censorship already.
    4
  74.  @meretricioussimp7759  "there isn't enough censorship". You are awful. YouTube deleted Last American Vagabond and Ryan Dawson, the two best journalists in America.

  75. You have to make it happen, get involved.

  76.  @ChristianDoretti  Agreed, it truly is sad.

  77. @Epic Sreen name Here's a list of some corporations who fund BOTH sides of the aisle, and this information is available to the public if you're not too lazy to use Google. Goldman Sachs, Comcast, AT&T, Microsoft, Honeywell International, Bank of America, and Lockheed Martin to name a few. And those happen to be the biggest corporate donors there are. Still laughing, fool?

  78. Venezuelan hit piece brought to you by the CIA.

  79. Kurt Schrader's winning strategy is extremely lame. How about championing single payer healthcare and $15 minimum wage? You know, the things your base wants. The Democrats don't understand how thin the ice is they're on, it's time to get serious about progressive issues that are popular or become a Republican.

  80. I didn't know there were any democrats to the right of Hillary until she nominated Tim Kaine. #dino

  81. Once California legalizes next year, the rest of the states will fall in line or look draconian and lose out financially on millions in tax revenue. The "war on drugs" hasn't stopped drug use, costs billions of dollars to tax payers, empowered cartels and gangs, and ruined countless lives, at some point we have to evolve and do what's moral and intelligent, which is to legalize and regulate.

  82. SuperAirsoft19 The harder it is to get a gun, the better.

  83.  @yoohooligan6080  Word up. But unfortunately the DNC will cheat him again, they'd rather lose to a Republican than win with a progressive.
    3
  84. This is a straw man argument. People with common sense don't want their protein spiked (which is what the mRNA "vaccine" actually does) without long term study. Too much of certain proteins in the brain can wipe your memory, that's no joke. But Vice would never do a video about that, just straw man BS propaganda.
    3
  85. All our wars are about stealing the resources of other countries in order to enrich multi-national corporations, that's why we need a president like Tulsi who actually has morals and cares about America, Americans, and decency.
    3
  86. Mueller is nothing more than a puppet for the permanent state who is paid to divide America, that's the sad truth. "Exonerated" is not a legal term and was purposefully used to further the false narrative that Trump colluded with Russia in order to keep Americans polarized/distracted by the ruling class. Yes, Trump is a POS, but not one single American was indicted, and now his approval ratings are higher than ever. So if you're a Russiagater, please know that you were used as a tool by corporate media to keep Trump in the White House. #dummies

  87. Corporate media is oligarchy propaganda, turn it off. #unpolarize

  91. collin ohlinger Both parties are controlled by corporate special interests, it's not a liberal vs. conservative issue anymore, all the bickering is just to distract us from changing the status quo/flow of money.

  94.  @jonthebru  Trump has been good for the oligarchy, the MIC, Wall Street, and corporate media, so.... there's a good chance we'll have him for 8 years.
    2
  95. Mindless posts from people trying to profit off of polarization. Meanwhile, both parties are owned by multi-national corporations, and these morons won't say a word about that, which makes them neoliberal dickheads.
    2
  96. It's illegal, but corporations have merged with government, so fascism will be rammed down our throats. The forthcoming vaccine passports are a wet dream for elites to subjugate the public, and they've already launched in Israel.

  97.  @alexantifascistaction310  Warren talks the talk, but I don't trust her follow through (see Standing Rock). She's hinted at accepting corporate money at some point too.

  98. NO ONE HAS A COVID VACCINE, STOP USING THAT WORD. PEOPLE ARE BEING GIVEN A "GOVERNMENT GENE THERAPY INJECTION", THAT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE. VICE = CIA.

  101. Vice always pushing the agenda of elites, they want us to live online so we're isolated and easily manipulated and controlled. F them, go out IN PERSON, talk to people FACE TO FACE. Don't become a slave.
    2
  102. Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden are corporate tools. Bernie is the most popular politician in the U.S., but the establishment Dems are hellbent on cheating him AGAIN. This country is incredibly corrupted, it's awful.
    2
  103. Meanwhile, we're in a psyop "pandemic" being forced to wear muzzles and take government experimental gene therapy injections. Vice fails the public on purpose.
    2
  104. So many protestors dying of COVID-1984. Oh wait, no they aren't...

  105. The Subjugation virus, that's what all fallout leads to "coincidentally", while making elites rich. But nothing to see here, blindly comply like a bunch of sheep.
    2
  106. @RAFFELPAFFLE Computers and robots took over manufacturing 100 years ago with no jobs to replace them? Wow, I didn't know that.
    2
  107. The issue is we don't have a government with any foresight. The ratio of jobs to people will not improve, and that's something that needs to be addressed. This is why basic income is being discussed more and more, it will be necessary.
    2
  108.  Finnic Patriot  LOL So now the right wing in America isn't right wing? You are a full blown narcissist with such extreme gas lighting attempts. Gross...
    2
  109. 100% psy-op, so no one will be able to protest at the capitol as congress screws the public harder and harder.
    2
  110. Gee, we're only muzzling and locking up people over a fake pandemic, while deleting the middle class, the arts, and education, what could go wrong? America is one psy-op after the next, fear is the #1 tactic used to control the public, and it's ridiculous the globalists have gotten away with all this destruction. The CARES Act was the largest transfer of wealth in human history to the rich, which Vice will never mention.

  111. Staining your brand is not a good plan.

  112. Wow, someone on the right showing interest in being consistent, might be a first.

  113. Exploiting talent and giving all the wealth to faceless middlemen is how it works in America, sadly.

  114. @Craft9841 Medicare for All costs LESS than our current system. Educate yourself, goofball.
    2
  115. Trump is not a foreign agent and he's very American, but he only loves himself, not the people he's supposed to be serving, he's the definition of the word "narcissist". He also lied about draining the swamp and getting us out of foreign wars, complete phony and has a vile personality to boot.
    2
  116. It's ironic to see people fighting a big corporation while CHOOSING to wear a muzzle.

  117. Both Trump and the Obamas suck from the Wall Street teat, her outrage is a joke.

  118. Joe Biden is a corporate tool, anyone who votes for him is a moron and part of the problem.

  119. VICE is propaganda.

  121. Cannabis is the future, it won't be long before you'll be hard pressed to find a product in Wal Mart that doesn't contain any. It's time to put our big boy pants on and legalize this natural plant with endless uses.

  124. KiloByte69 Fracking isn't worth the environmental impact, it's time to invest in renewable energy like other advanced countries. We all know we can't stop using oil today, but it's time to come up with another plan to produce energy that doesn't kill us and we need to make it happen NOW, time is of the essence.

  147. Corporations own our government, and now their conformist culture wants to control all aspects of our lives. This is why I never vote for politicians who take large corporate donations/bribes, they are cancer to society.

  151. Maybe the Democratic Party should focus on a winning platform for 2020 instead? No, can't do that, just keep sucking from the same corporate teat as the Republicans and then pretend to be surprised when you keep losing because of your own corruption and inability to represent working Americans.

  161.  @falafelstrike5620  I'm not a fan of either, but who was it who said "Show me your papers"? Fascists. Right-wingers are being mislead by calling it communism. Many of my comments on corporate media that point out this is fascism are removed, because that's the word they're afraid of most.
