@pckid17 i took marijuana counseling a little while ago and schizophrenia and marijuana is linked only by in your DNA if sometime in your life your supposed to go schitzo, then you may end up with it earlier in your life if you smoke weed. but if you dont smoke weed and its in your DNA then your getting it anyway.
@arockd202 Not true dude. The idea of cannabis acting as a catalysis in those with a predisposition is merely a theory, based upon the same slanted studies that suggest a correlation in the first place. Not everyone with a predisposition to a disorder will necessarily get it. If you have a fist degree relative with it, you only have a 6.5% of developing it. it's causes are not known, and it's up for debate as to whether it's even a single disorder, or a list of symptoms.
@arockd202 Diagnosis relies on the development and observation of symptoms, sufferers feel isolated & depressed prior to diagnosis. Cannabis treats these feelings & the sub culture that uses it is often more welcoming to the atypical nature of a prodromal schizophrenic. Living in an urban environment during childhood or as an adult has consistently been found to increase the risk of schizophrenia by a factor of two even after taking into account drug use, ethnic group, and size of social group.
@arockd202 "If you don't like my fire, then don't come around" if you don't like it, leave it, just don't bother us with your nonsense and don't polute this great song with your comments.
I say, give the starving lots of food. And let us in wealthier countries live of cookies and soda. We have eaten pleanty of food and don't need no more. And then give EVERY SINGLE person on this planet a joint... and everything's gonna be alright!
@matvarn There is a correlation between smoking pot and schizophrenia, but no proof that it causes Schizo. Some psychologists believe it's the other way around, that schizophrenics are more likely to smoke pot because it helps them to cope
before you say something ignorant do your research first...it can cause schizophrenia if you have a biological predisposition towards schizophrenia....dumbass
@binznijjar ...if you have a biological predisposition weed will not cause schizophrenia , the biological predisposition will, you are right though, if you already have schizophrenia then it can be dangerous, but weed does not cause it.
@binznijjar not true at all. A study has shown a Correlation, not a causation. similar studies also link cannabis to homosexuality. This is because the use of cannabis is elevated in the fringes of society (stoners are less judgmental, and cannabis helps with the feelings of angst and isolation). Most schizophrenics are considered "odd" long before their illness manifests, making them prone to being outcasts. outcasts are prone to cannabis use. Read the study yourself, or it isn't "research"
@pckid17 I'm with you on this one dude!! @gillysooses... I happen to grow fantastic potatoes in my BRITISH back garden... in fact I'm quite the green fingered one... lol @ self
@nishabud12 Not what i said. There are studies trying to link both homosexuality and schizophrenia to cannabis use. These studies are flawed, as they use statistics to study the prevalence of each, in the demographic of cannabis users. Being flawed, their results suggest a correlation. for example, studies have shown a higher rate of use, in gay men. They then use this as "pot makes you gay", when it's more likely that the stoners in highscool didn't care if he was gay, and pot feels good.
@pckid17 Cannabis use has been correlated with schizophrenia. Correlation does not imply causation and anyone who says it does is full of shit. :P Maybe schizos smoke more weed to self medicate, maybe gays are more mellow and tolerant because they've already suffered? Lurking variables everywhere!!!
@anarchyisawsome93 lol are you retarded? your on a weed song with the name anarchy is awesome saying work for your government.....you're the fucking faggot here, why dont you do all the world including us stoners a favour and walk into the middle of a freeway blindfolded. Have a nice day you confused moron.
@hitman259 well dude no, i'm not retarded and i would argue with you over fuck all but yeah someone with the name anarchy is awesome on a weed song saying work for your government that does sound fucking hypocritical... except...maybe someone else using my computer decided make that comment and it is you that is the confused one
@anarchyisawsome93 If in fact it wasnt you who made the comment I apologize, but you have to realize i cant exactly see whos typing the comments. Also im glad you see that I had reason for making such a comment. But as said above if in fact it was not you I was wrong for attacking you as I did.
One thing I notice about people who regularly use alcohol is that they increasingly practice having a double standard. Like everyone else is using 'drugs' and they're not, it's 'alcohol'. Alcohol is a gateway drug into chemically induced narcissism. Plus the next day is really nasty unlike the kind herb God provided.
As a nurse it is clear that there are negatives to both alcohol and THC. But really, smoking is bad for you, yet do you see people quitting because they know it's bad for them? Nope. It's a free world, as long as what you're doing isn't causing harm to someone else, f*ck it, just love it. "If you don't like my fire then don't come around."
@OhhhSoooSweet Want a real mindscrew? Time travel isn't possible because time and space are one thing: spacetime. Since the universe expands outward in all directions, time is subsequently doing the same thing. You can't go back in time without being in the exact relative space that is connected with the point in time you want to go to, and since the universe is constantly expanding, you can't accomplish this. Same goes with forward. We're not there yet relatively, so we can't get there.
This is a brilliant song! The lyrics and the music....so calming! H'es not singing it for political reasons, he's singing it for his own personal reasons- sharing the love he has for weed.
This is a brilliant song! The lyrics and the music....so calming! H'es not singing it for political reasons, he's singing it for his own personal reasons- sharing the love he has for weed.
Y'all are all stupid the reason Its not legal is cause the goverment is making a huge profit off off it but really the could legalize it and tax it like crazy and make way more money
been clean for 2 months. dont ever plan on smoking again. but the music is whats important, its great music, and i think we should all stop talking about marijuana and just listen to the music.
they did try to ban alcohol. DOES NOBODY REMEMBER THIS? and what happend? THEY FUCKING SNEAKED IT IN AND KEPT DRINKING. EVEN IF ITS WORSE ITS STILL WAS LEGALIZED. quit stating that frickin argument, we tried gettin rid of it, but drunkies kept drinking.
@MrWightProductions that is all the reason to legalize pot! if people are gonna keep smoking anyway, we shouldn't institute a huge legal risk on people who want to simply use it for recreation. If people are gonna do it anyway, as you say, then we should embrace that fact and decriminalize/legalize it to not put an arbitrary burden on those who smoke as opposed to drink, smoke, etc.
@MrWightProductions you mean like Prozac,Elavil,Zoloft,Zanax or all the other things that "cure" one problem and cause 11 far worse problems? This one has 3 side effects-Happy,Sleepy,Hungry...
@evolve991 I've seen people do stupid things on Prescribed meds. I've seen people do stupid things STONE COLD SOBER AND STUPID AS DIRT....people like company onwers,managerial staff,parents,doctors,etc. Do not tell me not to simplify it,it IS simple...some people are dumb without anything but air...they give everyone else a bad rep
hes not hatin you fuckin tard hes stating the facts. alcohol makes people violent and pot calms you down, you are just fucking retarded, now thats hating bitch
8 fn dislikes? dont hate on the music just cause you dont get high. Thats your choice and noone cares. And thats all the song is about anyway. Bens telling you if you feel that way, just dont come around. No one forced you to watch the video "burn one down". I hate how illogical people who DONT smoke pot could be.
We all need to relax. I'm really not sure how anyone can think of anything to say that is negative, while listening to Ben Harper. This man is an optimistic stoner genius of sorts. Clearly, I just burned one down, but I'm feeling awesome. Everyone who is getting angry about the weed toking being talked about on this discussion either needs to get stoned or laid, or my favourite; both at the same time. If you hate weed because you're in a Christian family, well then, piss off.
See I hear all this talk about what it does to your mind and it makes you peaceful and what not but why does it matter what it does your life is your own why does someone who doesnt know get to tell you what to do? i mean of course killing someone is bad but something as harmless as weed its kinda like cig only it gives you a mental "high"
haha wow you cunts are dumb as fuck! Look it up, it has been proven that weed does not do anything harmful to your body, nobody has died directly from weed.. look how many people have died from alcohol and cigarets...
I dont think you lot realize that this song is about world peace. I'm all for the legalization of marijuana, but you're taking away from the beauty of this song with the association that because he says "burn one down", he means weed. Just chill, close your eyes, and listen to this song for the beauty in its message.
So "let us burn one from end to end and pass it over to me my friend" is about world peace? idgi either your incredibly stoned or have severe mental limitations
@xoheartsongxo totally agree with you, although i gotta admitt it's more fun smokin' it while it's illegal. If it was legal than there would be so much tax and shit on it hence jacking the price up since the government is a bunch of greedy fucks.
@18andLifeSR you're right haha but still i feel like the government is taking away some of our freedom making it illegal. i want to move to amsterdam someday. that place is one chilll country
@xoheartsongxo think about it though, you get caught with weed right now you get a slap on the wrist depending on the ammount. you get caught with alcohol and your under age or you have had to much to drink your going to get arrested. i love weed i think everyone should try it once but if it was legalized they would make shitty laws that would make smoking weed fucking terrible for everyone else. Keep it Medical and get your license its not that hard
@xoheartsongxo Because weed makes more damage to your body than alcohol does. If you drink with passion, nothing is gonna harm your body. By smoking weed, you damage your brain no matter how little the amount is. But you're right about the legal part. It should be allowed.
@goonzies And you obviously never learned to read. I was stating that if you drink with PASSION, stuff like that won't happen. Also driving and smoking weed kills as well. Your brain gets affected now matter what.
@TocsDK never learned to read? ok.... you should try "read" my post again (oh wait, shouldn't it be "reading", moron?), and learn the difference between "know" and "now". And studies show weed does very little to brain chemistry, while drinking in fact DOES. And I say this as someone who drinks and doesn't smoke pot. And drinking with PASSION means drinking a lot, or at least that's what my english degree tells me. And drinking A LOT means liver failure, among other things. Moron.
@goonzies Dude, I'm typing 140 words per minute, do you actually expect me to lick your ass and type 100% grammaticality correct? Douche. At least your "studies" are false then, have a nice day faggot.
@TocsDK yes. i expect you to lick my ass. well played.
Get a fucking clue. I don't care how fast you type, or what kinda shit you're making up regardless of facts, but please at the very least come up with something better than "do you actually expect me to lick your ass". Because I ALWAYS expect idiots like you to lick my ass. Thanks.
@TocsDK Listen, man, I just looked at these comments and realized one thing after all these months.... you really have no idea what you are talking about. I've smoked a lot and I've drank a lot, and I like drinking more, but drinking is definitely more dangerous. There are a million studies out there to support my claim, man, just look it up. Please, please, please just check your facts and realize you are totally, one hundred percent incorrect.
@goonzies Wow, you just want it eh? Smoking weed, pot whatever is usually more dangerous by the long run, because people tend to increase their tolerance, and they'll need something harder to satisfy themselves. A lot of people start smoking all kinds of things, and takes the next step with pills and whatnot. I've friends who ended up this way, so please don't come and tell me shit. I still don't get why you had to open this discussion again, what part of "stop" didn't you understand?
@TocsDK Ha, you want the conversation to end and yet you write back LESS THAN AN HOUR LATER. Most people don't smoke pot and then kill themselves on harder drugs. Your friends were idiots. And by saying that pot is bad because it makes you do harder drugs, then I guess you agree with me that POT ALONE IS NOT THAT BAD.
But I bet you don't understand that at all. Sad. You seem dumb.
@goonzies You're so right dude, it's so incredible. You must have at least 30 years of experience. Such a genius you're. Man I wish I were like you. Good job.
@goonzies And you obviously never learned to read. Try read my post again, and then regret that stupid comment. I was saying drinking with PASSION wouldn't cause troubles like that.
@xoheartsongxo Well to be honest if you smoke weed and have violent tendencies they can be made worse from blazing on the regular, take my word, I know from 1st hand experience because I smoke nearly every day. Before I tackled my issues with anger and my emotions I was off the rails, all because of weed.
@CptCockBurns I see how you could feel that way, but then why did you smoke it? People tend to use weed or drugs to use to relax or even escape their problems. If you knew weed was not helping you deal with those issues, and in fact made things worse, I don't see why you would do it again. It just doesn't fit anything we know about drugs and psychology.
@gillysooses except the current supply is stunted by prohibition, and the price factors in the risks associated with procuring the item, leading to a higher price during prohibition.
@xoheartsongxo although i agree, SOME people who cant get pot asfter they have been smoking for a while can get angry and violent if they cannot obtain it. even though i dont smoke it alot, this is why i think it should be legal.
Why do you have to be such a hater? I drink alcohol. When I have not seem a good friend for a while, at dinner with my girlfriend, at a college football tailgate, celebration for a job well done. If you have a cause or think something should be different, that's great, but you go about it the wrong way.
@xoheartsongxo i smoke weed every day but thats not that good of an argument. a lot of scumbags and evil people smoke weed too. its the person not the drug in a case like weed. just like basically every legal drug.
@xoheartsongxo alcohol dosent beat women.... people do... anything else is an excuse... dont blame alcohol on wife beating... not her fault she cant stay in the kitchen hahahahahaa thats awful... i support womens suffrage
@jo2na2th8an I agree....but I think maybe it already is...Besides, why do we have to be "Stoners" why can't we just be people....what the hell is abnormal about our way of life, besides the fact that the governement wants to have their finger in every pot ( no pun intended) they can possibly get them in? That's not our fault....it's not our fault that their parents had sticks up their arsses....Lmao
This is the Plant that can heal the masses, its no wonder they want it outlawed they wont stand to lose billions of your dollars. They know very well, how good the plant is and its health benefits to everyday people. If they let people grow cannabis then they start growing other things too. It will make us less dependent upon the government, they just want the people divided and this plant could unite the whole world.
@Tokensmokes83 I agree to an extent. If pots legalized then the governments war on pot/drugs is a failure and they dont want to be labeled as failures. and its not the government as a whole, so much as its the politicians who are fingering the pharmaceutical companies. why do we have to take different 'medications' for headaches, cramps, depression, ADD, etc. when we can just smoke a joint? cuz a couple people with more money than the rest of us want more...
@tadashij actually I dont think pot (or any drugs for that matter) will help with depression, just lots of healthy food and exercise seems to work! remember "drug use :), drug abuse :( "
Ive tried it twice, once on my 16th birthday party,, once a few weeks ago!! was the best thing ever, its not bad, its PEACEFULL and RELAXING not evil and shouldnt be illegal!! <3
i like this song but i dont smoke weed but at the sametime i dont have a problem with it at all. people should have the right to do what they want. i also believe dont say something is stupid or bad if you have never tried it you may like it if you did try it sometime.
ben harper raises such a good point about harm, the amount of violent crimes associated with alcohol out numbers the violence to people on marijuana... if the only arguement you can call against the smokers is the health problems, then why is alcohol so socially acceptable when it causes health problems to... plus marijuana is more natural then alcohol... SMOKE WEED ERRY DAY
I use to use this song for my ring entry music. Great song before a fight, it brings the crowd to its feet. Love this song and I love burning one down :) Its a blessing and not a curse.

8 fn dislikes? dont hate on the music just cause you dont get high. Thats your choice and noone cares. And thats all the song is about anyway. Bens telling you if you feel that way, just dont come around. No one forced you to watch the video "burn one down". I hate how illogical people who DONT smoke pot could be.

People of YouTube.
We all need to relax. I'm really not sure how anyone can think of anything to say that is negative, while listening to Ben Harper. This man is an optimistic stoner genius of sorts. Clearly, I just burned one down, but I'm feeling awesome. Everyone who is getting angry about the weed toking being talked about on this discussion either needs to get stoned or laid, or my favourite; both at the same time. If you hate weed because you're in a Christian family, well then, piss off.

See I hear all this talk about what it does to your mind and it makes you peaceful and what not but why does it matter what it does your life is your own why does someone who doesnt know get to tell you what to do? i mean of course killing someone is bad but something as harmless as weed its kinda like cig only it gives you a mental "high"

I dont think you lot realize that this song is about world peace. I'm all for the legalization of marijuana, but you're taking away from the beauty of this song with the association that because he says "burn one down", he means weed. Just chill, close your eyes, and listen to this song for the beauty in its message.

Honestly, alcohol is more dangerous than pot. Have you ever heard of someone beating their wife while they were high on weed? Nope
weed makes people chill. alcohol causes violence. why should alcohol be legal and not weed? makes no sense to be serious
xoheartsongxo 1 year ago 108
@xoheartsongxo totally agree with you, although i gotta admitt it's more fun smokin' it while it's illegal. If it was legal than there would be so much tax and shit on it hence jacking the price up since the government is a bunch of greedy fucks.

@xoheartsongxo think about it though, you get caught with weed right now you get a slap on the wrist depending on the ammount. you get caught with alcohol and your under age or you have had to much to drink your going to get arrested. i love weed i think everyone should try it once but if it was legalized they would make shitty laws that would make smoking weed fucking terrible for everyone else. Keep it Medical and get your license its not that hard
Youdontknow19 1 year ago
@xoheartsongxo Because weed makes more damage to your body than alcohol does. If you drink with passion, nothing is gonna harm your body. By smoking weed, you damage your brain no matter how little the amount is. But you're right about the legal part. It should be allowed.

@goonzies And you obviously never learned to read. I was stating that if you drink with PASSION, stuff like that won't happen. Also driving and smoking weed kills as well. Your brain gets affected now matter what.
TocsDK 1 year ago
@TocsDK never learned to read? ok.... you should try "read" my post again (oh wait, shouldn't it be "reading", moron?), and learn the difference between "know" and "now". And studies show weed does very little to brain chemistry, while drinking in fact DOES. And I say this as someone who drinks and doesn't smoke pot. And drinking with PASSION means drinking a lot, or at least that's what my english degree tells me. And drinking A LOT means liver failure, among other things. Moron.

@TocsDK Listen, man, I just looked at these comments and realized one thing after all these months.... you really have no idea what you are talking about. I've smoked a lot and I've drank a lot, and I like drinking more, but drinking is definitely more dangerous. There are a million studies out there to support my claim, man, just look it up. Please, please, please just check your facts and realize you are totally, one hundred percent incorrect.
And don't say homeboy. Nobody says homeboy.
goonzies 10 months ago
@goonzies Wow, you just want it eh? Smoking weed, pot whatever is usually more dangerous by the long run, because people tend to increase their tolerance, and they'll need something harder to satisfy themselves. A lot of people start smoking all kinds of things, and takes the next step with pills and whatnot. I've friends who ended up this way, so please don't come and tell me shit. I still don't get why you had to open this discussion again, what part of "stop" didn't you understand?
TocsDK 10 months ago
@TocsDK Ha, you want the conversation to end and yet you write back LESS THAN AN HOUR LATER. Most people don't smoke pot and then kill themselves on harder drugs. Your friends were idiots. And by saying that pot is bad because it makes you do harder drugs, then I guess you agree with me that POT ALONE IS NOT THAT BAD.
But I bet you don't understand that at all. Sad. You seem dumb.

@xoheartsongxo Well to be honest if you smoke weed and have violent tendencies they can be made worse from blazing on the regular, take my word, I know from 1st hand experience because I smoke nearly every day. Before I tackled my issues with anger and my emotions I was off the rails, all because of weed.
CptCockBurns 1 year ago
@CptCockBurns I see how you could feel that way, but then why did you smoke it? People tend to use weed or drugs to use to relax or even escape their problems. If you knew weed was not helping you deal with those issues, and in fact made things worse, I don't see why you would do it again. It just doesn't fit anything we know about drugs and psychology.

This is the Plant that can heal the masses, its no wonder they want it outlawed they wont stand to lose billions of your dollars. They know very well, how good the plant is and its health benefits to everyday people. If they let people grow cannabis then they start growing other things too. It will make us less dependent upon the government, they just want the people divided and this plant could unite the whole world.
Tokensmokes83 1 year ago
@Tokensmokes83 I agree to an extent. If pots legalized then the governments war on pot/drugs is a failure and they dont want to be labeled as failures. and its not the government as a whole, so much as its the politicians who are fingering the pharmaceutical companies. why do we have to take different 'medications' for headaches, cramps, depression, ADD, etc. when we can just smoke a joint? cuz a couple people with more money than the rest of us want more...

ben harper raises such a good point about harm, the amount of violent crimes associated with alcohol out numbers the violence to people on marijuana... if the only arguement you can call against the smokers is the health problems, then why is alcohol so socially acceptable when it causes health problems to... plus marijuana is more natural then alcohol...
