Hawaii Comedy Tour: What I Saw vs. The News | Graham Elwood In this video, Graham Elwood examines a legislative push led by Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard and Republican Representative Tom Garrett, who introduced the "Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act" to decriminalize cannabis at the federal level. Graham breaks down the racist disparities in drug arrests (where minority communities are disproportionately targeted), the hypocrisy of federal laws while states legalize medical and recreational use, the cash-only banking hurdles dispensaries face, and the powerful lobbying interests of big pharmaceutical companies and private prisons that profit from the drug war. ============================================================ ▶️ Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@GrahamElwoodOfficial?sub_confirmation=1 ============================================================ 🧊 See the Full Uncensored Investigation Here: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/grahamelwood Rokfin: https://rokfin.com/grahamelwood 📺 New Comedy Special "Manifest It" on Apple TV: https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/graham-elwood-manifest-it/umc.cmc.65wuzkrazdqspd2pu240x5chp 🤝 Support the Channel (We are demonetised!): 💳 Donate: https://www.grahamelwood.com/#support 💸 Venmo: https://venmo.com/graham-elwood 👑 Join YouTube Members: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX1rle36wIlP9ry8uidnCsA/join 👕 Merch: https://www.grahamelwood.com/shop/ 🪙 Crypto Support & Affiliates: 🟠 BTC: qzx00qv3cz8xur9ujyewgda3hnc03perpqp2rz7043 🔑 BTC (Alt): 3BWaUfZ3M57KaoWVpxpbKmMEyy9Ybw8vQV 🔷 ETH: 0xD970059f6c57B4f707E778Ba19d6586039b0BD0F 🦢 SwanBitcoin: SwanBitcoin.com/grahamelwood (We both get $10.) 💳 Crypto.com: https://referral.crypto.com/signup?_branch_match_id=766078563177305504 (We both get $25.) ============================================================ 📱 Connect & Listen: 🌐 Website: http://www.grahamelwood.com 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GrahamElwoodComedy/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/grahamelwood 🐦 X/Twitter: https://x.com/grahamelwood 🎤 Live Tour Tickets: www.grahamelwood.com 🎧 Podcast: www.grahamelwood.com/#podcasts ============================================================ 📚 Sources & Further Reading: 1.
