I am, however, turning 18 in March 30th, I've been working real jobs as a student since 16 and even then I'd fight for my country if it meant fighting for my family's safety.

That's a Lie because Marijuana isn't a Drug a Poison like Alcohol that kills and disinfects. Marijuanna is a Medical herb with essesial Terpenes. Weed has never killed anyone and it's less addictive than candy or soda. Reefer Madness was Propaganda Government lie to create the Industrial Military Complex. the Police state and people allowed t because they thought it was Just Blacks or Hispanics being killed by cops for a Plant.
I am a Republican. I agree 100% with what Governor Ventura has stated. It has helped my Grandfather with hearing loss and Foot Drop Disease. This stuff isnt a cure, I'll admit that. But it sure as hell helps and its a lot cheaper than some huge prescriptions. Make it all at 18. Make it consistent.
Same. I am a hard-core republican Christian but I don't agree with our parties take on weed. We are the anti big gov party yet they continue to push this anti marijuana Nixon era stuff. I'm sorry but what someone does with their own body shouldn't be up to any Government.

@@GreenNeonLine It should be safe, legal and rare. Too many women use abortion as a form of birth control. My mom was 17 when she got pregnant with me and she tried to get an abortion and it failed. She feels really bad about it and she says she has many regrets about it. She is an amazing mom and has done everything to raise me right. My father was never around and is a rich scumbag. I don’t want her to feel bad. She is an amazing woman and a great mom. We just need to do better on education, better access to contraceptives and try and foster a better moral culture.
@@GreenNeonLine but it is, even biblically an unborn baby was property and if you killed an unborn baby financial compensation was demanded. According to the Hebrews or Jews which ever you prefer the breath of God aka the soul didn’t enter the baby until it was born and took its first breath. Outside of all of that does God let people determine their lives or not? It’s either Gods will or freewill, and God allows abortion so it’s within Gods will or it falls to freewill. So let people use what God gave them “freewill” and if they mess up it’s between them and God. Jesus did say “And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town.”
@ZANZAR™️ I agree with your stance on abortion, but I will say the baby is inside the body of the mother. So it does concern her in that area. My main gripe with the pro choice community is that's its not just her baby. If I'm a father it's mine to.

Jesse i am a fan of yours but on this topic i could not disagree with you more. Addictive use of any psyco reactive substance for another is NOT an answer nor a fix.
Jesse Ventura is a legend. Tells it like it is and is unflinching in his passion for the subject matter. Politicians around the world can learn a lot from this man.
Very passionate and correct on subject matter. Just kind of all over the place in message. Cannabis saved my life...let that sink in......Not me personally but my wife, 🤔 what
A straight shooter. Guys like that don't usually make it in politics but he was the governor of Minnesota. I also wrote his name in one year for President because I didn't like anyone else who was running that year. So two alumni of "Predator" went on to become governors. Interesting.
"My wife took the first 3 drops under the tongue, and has not had a seizure since. None" Idk why, but I was expecting from the Committee to give a powerful applause at that moment, what Jesse said deserved to be applauded, he spit facts on their faces and they stayed silent as if it was nothing.
Because government is the culprit in most situations. Making a harmless green plant illegal for decades now, when it can be used to literally save lives, but they will legalize poisonous cooked up chemical drugs in laboratories. Why? Rich pharmaceutical corporation donors paying off politicians. A green plant that anyone can grow, cannot be taxed? Oh no, the [criminal] government HATES that, of course. 🤷♂️
I’m in wisconsin, suffer from Epilepsy, and have used different medications for a lifetime and have never been able to say with certainty that any one of the the medications I’ve taken have been effective.

I got introduced to Jessie Ventura by my dad when I was just beginning to understand my own political identity. Best thing my dad ever did was made me listen to him. Hes a real man. Shows that being one means you care for people. You speak what is true.
Jesse is a fkn legend , Minnesota is SUPER lucky to have him … I live in California and I’ve always looked up to Jesse for years .. Everything he says is 100% true I agree with the guy with almost everything… He legit is what we need in our Presidency
Jesse Ventura is not only the definition of what being an American is but he's the true meaning of a human, he has a huge heart and speaks straight from it.
People (read: losers) crap on him a lot for political things, but the reality has always been that he's a caring, good person. The kind of leader a country should want.
My Dad was a prominent Proving Grounds Head of Op-Sec & Counter Terrorist specialist. He developed Renal Cell (Burn Pits) & the only way we could get him to eat was to get home high. He survived for a length of time no one thought could be possible. In short, you owe the safety you enjoyed in the 70s-80s because WE BROKE THE LAW TO KEEP HIM ALIVE
Wow what a great speech. How can you listen to that and not feel something? I live in Australia and our voting and drinking age is 18. We had kids as young as 17 go to fight in Vietnam. Yet they came home and couldnt drink or vote. What Jesse said about his wife choked me up. I would have done the exact same thing he did
This brought tears to not only my eyes but to my heart bcas it is TIME for this law to be passed federally. I have a similar story regarding my dad, Pops. Thankfully we live in Michigan, and it's been legal here for a few years now. He's a stage 4 cancer WARRIOR, and as much as RSO helps him, in order for him to be able to get his other meds he had to stop and I watched him decline. This needs to be FEDERALLY LEGAL as well What a great man Mr Ventura is, I adore him
My nephew had grand mal seizures. He was the first person in California who could grow marijuana for his seizures. All the doctors medications did not stop the seizures but him smoking pot was able to stop his seizures. Because of him using marijuana he was able to live a normal life.
That's why the good Lord made it, so we'd have a way out of mankind's mess!!! Alcohol ought to be against the law, it's not God made and causes more problems than any other drug!!!
I’m from Alabama and a good friend of mine had a daughter that went through the exact same thing, they had to go out of state to get the drops. Ever since she started taking it she hasn’t had anymore seizures.
Thank you for speaking for us. Like your wife, I was diagnosed with epilepsy later on in life, and the seizures were horrific. The only thing that worked for me was cannabis as well, and my husband and I also had to break the law to keep me alive. We are now on Minnesota medical, but we pay a whole mortgage for it a month. Stories like this are way too common in our state, and we deserve better. Thank you again for speaking up for us. ✊🏼
It's not like he made up the line,, this guy sure likes The Dumpster playbook,, say something that eighty million people have already said but act like you're the first one to say it..
He is a true alpha male. Not one of those people that have to change the tone of their voice or do things that make them look tough(hussler university lolololol), a born genetic alpha male, a true top G. And he's intelligent, a true born leader.
And not very good at telling the truth. Ventura served in the United States Navy from December 1, 1969, to September 10, 1975, during the Vietnam War, but did not see combat. He wears a Navy Seal Shirt here but anyone who’d only served in UDT before the Teams combined in 1983 couldn’t truthfully claim to have been a SEAL. If he was only in UDT 12, he sure as hell wasn’t a SEAL. Big difference between being in UDT 12 and SEAL One

I agree. I neither use cannabis nor drink alcohol but I do use a classified prescription drug that frees me from the monkey on my back that I was born with, which hold me from getting my daily tasks done. If a regular person uses what I use their brain is badly affected but mine thrives with it. This made me realize that nothing is "one fits all" including the laws, hence they should be flexible enough to aknowledge those who fall under the exception list. We as a society need to stop giving our prejudices the priority and learn how to make the laws healthy for every individual without compromising public health and safety. It's not that difficult. It just requires collaboration and veing open to hear each other and the objective research papers.

Jesse is a national treasure. Shoots straight, talks straight, and demands that his nation observe the most elementary of positions on anything. It is too bad that he never went for the Presidency. If he had, and been successful, maybe the politics of this country would not be so crazy.
The system is SO broken that neither party will support him. Without a letter (R or D Incase that confused you) giving their seal of approval then you virtually have NO chance of winning unless you are a certified billionaire and even then it's extremely difficult. Independent party has ALWAYS scared the hell out of the US government and it always will. I say "letter" because that is the ONLY reason people vote for a certain person. They don't vote for a president they vote for a letter. That's why the independent party scares the gov. It's a system designed to keep people divided. Another civil war will never happen again by making sheeple believe they have a choice and that choice actually matters. By not aligning to a letter independent party could unite people.
I’m thankful Missouri finally legalized it. Cannabis has helped my dad tremendously. He doesn’t smoke it, but consumes it in brownies and other edibles. Minimizes his pain and doesn’t tear his gut up like the commercial painkillers.
LOL, right. And if that were the case, EVERY Medical Response Team, from police departments, both military and civilian, fire departments, again military or civilian, no matter the location, from inside their communities to massive airports to private institutions, to hospitals, doctor's offices, and more, EVERY ONE of them would have several joints stashed away for a person having a seizure to take a moment from the busy seizure, light up and smoke away,

As a 12 year old boy I experienced my first seizure. Over the next 8 years I would endure countless tests, meet with world renown neurologists at Mayo Clinic, tried numerous drugs with terrible side effects. None of it helped, and in the meantime i experienced hundreds of seizures that permanently impacted my memory, my personality, and even my notion of self. Cannabis is the only treatment that ever worked. Doctors just treated me like an experience. Cannabis has allowed me to be a functioning member of society with a wife and a dog. I can only wonder what if i discovered Cannabis earlier. I couldve avoided brain damage and lasting and profound mental anguish.
Im so sorry. I am also an epileptic. Last one was tough . In my late 40’s I lost all sense of smell and taste . My tongue was torn . Keppra didn’t help . Dilantin I was on erased most of my memories.

We legalized weed in Toronto about 7 years ago and I'll tell you it ain't all that great. You got weed dispensaries popping up all over the place now. It ruins all the nice neighborhoods. It's just a way for govt to get more taxes. I think it should be decriminalized when in possession of small amounts but to completely legalize it is stupid. Trust me you don't want weed stores opening up all over your neighborhoods.
I have immense sympathy for your wife and you, Governor. Going through the times you did watching your wife have the seizures and her having to live through the seizures must have been crippling. I have been working through having having regular seizures 3-6 times per week since 2006. They have cost me a great job and even my marriage years ago. While cannabis products have been a blessing the prescribed medications have caused many health problems problems
It's great to hear stories like this. Normally people are paid to say these things for a pharmaceutical company but he's one of the only people I fully trust in what he says. Cannabis does work for some people and no one should be denied a trial
👏🏽❤👏🏽❤👏🏽❤👏🏽❤👏🏽 Truth. I'm an epileptic with the same story. Medications didn't do s**t other than having scary side effects. Cannabis and a diet of healthy fats along with cutting sugar out completely during its peak of me having frequent seizures made them suddenly stop. I've pissed off doctors proving that cannabis is a solution for epilepsy. Hats off to this man for speaking out 🤘🏽
Sadly If someone like h8m wants it its not good. He only wants it so he can launder cannibus money to Russia through his hemp shop. He informed so hard for Russia when he was governor that's how they high jacked everything..He was one of their moles they bought or blackmailed.
Same. I got seizures from a tbi (work accident) ten years ago and I used Levi and some other stuff. Some helped me have *less* seizures but none outright stopped them. Figured out bud might help and tried it. It works...my neurologists all hate it though.
And it's labeled as a schedule 1 drug with no medical benefits All because some rich people and big Pharma don't want to lose money by people buying weed. It's all about greed and Power. Trust me. The Sackler family killed Millions yeah it was never a schedule 1, but they're opioids killed a lot of people
It does have a medicinal function and should be legalized for precisely the reason Jesse stated. Message for Jesse Ventura from me.. you are a inspiration to me and sending my prayers and positive thoughts. Stay strong brother!
Jesse thank you for saying what was on all of our minds. As a veteran myself, your words struck deep. Cannabis has helped me mentally and physically, and I believe access to this will help people get away from dangerous pharmaceutical drugs.
Perhaps, but they're counting on ppl to fall for this. I mean they are waiting for right time so can use it against ppl. Grow ur own have it sent to ppl w cards that can receive it. Pay for theirs to make sure u get yours js. Also if can modify crops why wouldnt these be ablevto be modified by air, water n soul tio. It is alleged can modify veggies into doing sane thing inoculations do. Better off buying alot & make sure have plenty &/or make lots of oil b4 gets modified if already have not been.

"I did far worse on alcohol than I ever did on cannabis."
Truth
So many of us know
Poison vs. natural.
Cannabis really helps cancer patients and chronic pain sufferers.. alcohol causes both in time.
That's a Lie because Marijuana isn't a Drug a Poison like Alcohol that kills and disinfects. Marijuanna is a Medical herb with essesial Terpenes. Weed has never killed anyone and it's less addictive than candy or soda. Reefer Madness was Propaganda Government lie to create the Industrial Military Complex. the Police state and people allowed t because they thought it was Just Blacks or Hispanics being killed by cops for a Plant.

Because of the message that is being said and the messenger that is delivering it.
The media only reports on Donald Trump, Elon Musk, or the GOP soo..
Lets make it viral
A million views is viral
Jesse gets alot of hate but the man's got passion. He's always fighting for something. But he'll tell it like it is and speak from the heart
When he hung out with Fidel Castro he said Castro told him he believed JFK assassination was an inside job

@@GreenNeonLine It should be safe, legal and rare. Too many women use abortion as a form of birth control. My mom was 17 when she got pregnant with me and she tried to get an abortion and it failed. She feels really bad about it and she says she has many regrets about it. She is an amazing mom and has done everything to raise me right. My father was never around and is a rich scumbag. I don’t want her to feel bad. She is an amazing woman and a great mom. We just need to do better on education, better access to contraceptives and try and foster a better moral culture.
@@GreenNeonLine but it is, even biblically an unborn baby was property and if you killed an unborn baby financial compensation was demanded. According to the Hebrews or Jews which ever you prefer the breath of God aka the soul didn’t enter the baby until it was born and took its first breath. Outside of all of that does God let people determine their lives or not? It’s either Gods will or freewill, and God allows abortion so it’s within Gods will or it falls to freewill. So let people use what God gave them “freewill” and if they mess up it’s between them and God. Jesus did say “And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town.”
@ZANZAR™️ I agree with your stance on abortion, but I will say the baby is inside the body of the mother. So it does concern her in that area. My main gripe with the pro choice community is that's its not just her baby. If I'm a father it's mine to.
Powerful. As a former medical marijuana caregiver I have seen stories like his firsthand for many conditions even curing skin cancer.

I'm in fact a lead supervisor at a major food production plant in North Dakota. I am also a single parent raising my teenage child. Someone who has trouble forming a coherent sentence and has trouble spelling shouldn't be talking about living in their parents' basement. I'll bet you're projecting just like a typical conservative.
This guy came to my elementary school when i was a kid. So proud to hear this speech ❤ Thank you Jesse Ventura
Mr. Ventura is further proof that the best politicians aren’t politicians-at heart. They’re humans with an abundance of compassion and a penchant for diplomacy. ❤
He was easily the worst Governor we've ever had in MN

@@pbmdhEven so, I think most will agree with him that medical marijuana needs to be legal in every states and cannibals in general could be made legal. We also could lower the age to drink and buy marijuana and cigarettes.
@@pbmdh Probably impossible to get anything done in that cesspit called "politics" if you're the only one with some integrity and aren't only out for yourself. Ventura said it best, the job of a statesman is to do his part and then back off. Not make a career out of it. When you make a career out of it you stop making decisions that are best for the community and instead make decisions that keep you in power or climbing the ladder.
Have you seen our prime minister here in Canada? He was a drama teacher. We are now living in the worst inflation in several decades. No one can afford a home, no one can afford to eat. 1 in 6 Canadians are going to food banks. And as far as I know Jesse was one of the worst governors in the history of that state.
Just legalized already. This is crazy.
Typical junkie
You have got to love and respect Jesse Ventura.
Love you brother. Thank you for standing up throughout your life.
Yes yes! ☝️
@57corvettehead in order for me to respect someone they first need to earn it. Ventura didn't earn my respect
Mr. Ventura, thank you for your service and dedication. I couldn't agree with you more.
I hope you and your wife are finding happiness and peace.
God bless
I ain't got time for corporate greed! Please run for president! Bless you, Jesse! 🇺🇸 💪

Holy Crap I have never gotten more goose bumps from a speech like this in a long time. This man is a dang hero
Wow. The man made one hell of a point!! Good for you Jesse!
Jesse I hope you get what you need because your wife and your families devotion to MIN cant be topped Good luck God Bless
i was only 19 aussies legal drinking age 18 some stateslike sa drive age 16
what Govts say and what they actually do . . . jesse has a voice and we listen
This was so awesome to see. I was never a tremendously big fan of Jesse Ventura as a person or politician, but he is 100% correct and passionate about it right here, and it’s really wonderful to see. Kinda wish we had more politicians like this around still who put common sense and compassion ahead of partisanship and ideology.
I just want Independent Politicians who aren't slaves to the 2 Party System
@@cromcccxvi3787Not in the game plan
Well, if his story it true and he is not overly invested in medical marijuana like a prepper or used car salesman, than that makes it even more legit. I certainly agree that weed is overly sensationalized for its bad effects and the good never highlighted enough.
@@cromcccxvi3787Well, you won’t get that, so instead of bashing the system, embrace the lesser of two evils. Why people think the more boisterous candidate or more loudmouth candidate is telling it like it is boggles my mind. I don’t get why people don’t want a President who is calm and hard to anger or level headed when it matters most.
@@easyenetwork2023 We had that with Obama, and he was a sleazebag. I'd rather have someone who is a loudmouth than some sneaky weasel.
Hell yeah, grateful for Jesse and excited for MN to become a legal state and truly embrace the progress necessary to evolve.
Jesse never disappoints.
As a 12 year old boy I experienced my first seizure. Over the next 8 years I would endure countless tests, meet with world renown neurologists at Mayo Clinic, tried numerous drugs with terrible side effects. None of it helped, and in the meantime i experienced hundreds of seizures that permanently impacted my memory, my personality, and even my notion of self.
Cannabis is the only treatment that ever worked. Doctors just treated me like an experience. Cannabis has allowed me to be a functioning member of society with a wife and a dog. I can only wonder what if i discovered Cannabis earlier. I couldve avoided brain damage and lasting and profound mental anguish.
Im so sorry. I am also an epileptic. Last one was tough . In my late 40’s I lost all sense of smell and taste . My tongue was torn . Keppra didn’t help . Dilantin I was on erased most of my memories. He is speaking truth ! The big pharma won’t tell us the real deal ! Cannabis helps and gives us life to keep working , living . I’m so glad you are better now . ❤
Stay Strong. Glad you found what works. Hopefully parts of your memory will come back. It may sound funny, but old smells can sometimes help bring back and trigger old memories. Worth a try.
Yes clapiing, 👏 yes clapping to this man.. This is a man that brought up all the agenda to lightttt for exposure of today's situation,,On all his episodes, He showed all , And still today is not being recognized enough for his great courage and work..... Media baned him until was not even mentioned no more,,,,This guy is a valiant real hero of this country No question ..
👏👏👏🤓
Long live king 👑 Jesse 🎤for Saying what needs to be said. 🇺🇸
We legalized weed in Toronto about 7 years ago and I'll tell you it ain't all that great. You got weed dispensaries popping up all over the place now. It ruins all the nice neighborhoods. It's just a way for govt to get more taxes. I think it should be decriminalized when in possession of small amounts but to completely legalize it is stupid. Trust me you don't want weed stores opening up all over your neighborhoods.
@@AS-vq3wt There are nice dispensaries in my neighborhood and they don’t attract more crime.
@I true said but it makes the neighborhoods look trashy.
Just a legend of a human. Love that he began cutting a promo on the committee toward the end. He can cut through the crap better than most.
Use to be
There are a _LOT_ of things Ventura says that I don't agree with, but I'd stand behind him on this one 1000%!!
Thank you, governor!
I have immense sympathy for your wife and you, Governor. Going through the times you did watching your wife have the seizures and her having to live through the seizures must have been crippling. I have been working through having having regular seizures 3-6 times per week since 2006. They have cost me a great job and even my marriage years ago. While cannabis products have been a blessing the prescribed medications have caused many health problems problems
If she left you because you lost money, or started to get seizures, she wasn't worth keeping in the first place. Stay strong buddy!
True warrior of what's justified and with compassion. It's a rare thing. I'm Canadian and admire this man . We need more people like Jeese Ventra
Well said Mr Ventura,
That man has my utter and complete respect. 100 percent.
It's great to hear stories like this. Normally people are paid to say these things for a pharmaceutical company but he's one of the only people I fully trust in what he says. Cannabis does work for some people and no one should be denied a trial
Right on. I have the utmost RESPECT for u. U tell it like is.
👏🏽❤👏🏽❤👏🏽❤👏🏽❤👏🏽 Truth. I'm an epileptic with the same story. Medications didn't do s**t other than having scary side effects. Cannabis and a diet of healthy fats along with cutting sugar out completely during its peak of me having frequent seizures made them suddenly stop. I've pissed off doctors proving that cannabis is a solution for epilepsy. Hats off to this man for speaking out 🤘🏽
Sadly If someone like h8m wants it its not good. He only wants it so he can launder cannibus money to
Russia through his hemp shop. He informed so hard for Russia when he was governor that's how they high jacked everything..He was one of their moles they bought or blackmailed.
That's pathetic that doctors would be mad that a patient found a treatment that works. They are just pharmaceutical pushers.
Same. I got seizures from a tbi (work accident) ten years ago and I used Levi and some other stuff. Some helped me have *less* seizures but none outright stopped them. Figured out bud might help and tried it. It works...my neurologists all hate it though.
And it's labeled as a schedule 1 drug with no medical benefits All because some rich people and big Pharma don't want to lose money by people buying weed. It's all about greed and Power. Trust me. The Sackler family killed Millions yeah it was never a schedule 1, but they're opioids killed a lot of people
Amen, we need options to be available!!
It does have a medicinal function and should be legalized for precisely the reason Jesse stated. Message for Jesse Ventura from me.. you are a inspiration to me and sending my prayers and positive thoughts.
Stay strong brother!
Jesse thank you for saying what was on all of our minds. As a veteran myself, your words struck deep. Cannabis has helped me mentally and physically, and I believe access to this will help people get away from dangerous pharmaceutical drugs.
That's exactly why insurance won't cover it. They're entirely in bed with the sickness management system
Thank you for your service.
Perhaps, but they're counting on ppl to fall for this. I mean they are waiting for right time so can use it against ppl. Grow ur own have it sent to ppl w cards that can receive it. Pay for theirs to make sure u get yours js.
Also if can modify crops why wouldnt these be ablevto be modified by air, water n soul tio.
It is alleged can modify veggies into doing sane thing inoculations do.
Better off buying alot & make sure have plenty &/or make lots of oil b4 gets modified if already have not been.
The legalized it in some places already to set up foundations/patents for future takeover of market & modification it seems.
When big pharma has control over cannabis it will become legal at the drug store as a prescription.
When big pharma has control over it they will dilute it down so they can sell more and make more money. That is all big pharma is about!!
I agree to ALL of those points Jesse Ventura vocalized. I am a vet too and feel thee same way.
I liked this man ever since I saw him in Predator. Now I've grown up and I like and respect him even more. We need more Americans like him🇺🇸
