Howard Marks on cannabis: more health research needed

[laneypuss]

Saw this guy at Sonisphere 2011... What a king... he was such an entertainer as well!

[maximiliaan1995]

"but that just means you put half as much in a joint i mean what the fuck is going on"

what a legand

[redlynx69]

That just means you put half as much in a joint, doesn't it? I mean, what the fuck is going on?!

[god11giggs11]

fucking love that man what a legend

[shamanhealer2012]

I think 4000+ years of humans using Cannabis is enough proof that this plant is Vital to a healthy lifestyle

[Burnzy8418]

@shamanhealer2012 I dunno about vital to a healthy lifestyle - its hardly a necessity - just a harmless pleasure in moderation

[snowyywwinters]

bout now its back to class B! its soo stupid! but leb-dems have been talking about making weeed legal like it is in hollend!:D

[funkmonkey06]

the only reason alcohol and tobacco are legal is because they are taxable.

[Rumbleman99]

@funkmonkey06 all the other drugs are taxable to, weed alone could bring us out of a recession as it is better for making paper, clothes and other materials, it makes better cheeper RENEWABLE oil (something were running out of) and the amount of tax they can put on smoking cannabis is enough to make this one rich country. when we will the government drag us out of the dark ages and into the future, they want progress but they are holding it back.

[211PAD112]

let the man be its just a talk it doesnt need to be scrutinized in every way

[MikeGreenwood51]

What a boring waste of time that bloke "Howard Marks" is. He has published that video which has received 120 comments over a period of more than 12 months and he has not even responded to a single comment. It just seems more evidence that he was off his trolly at the time and had absolutly no intention of any responce. In one video he stated he smoked about 1/2 an ounce a day if left to his own devices which could be (1/2 times 365days) a total of 185 ounces or 11LBs 9ozs or 5.24 Kilos.

[MikeGreenwood51]

What was Howard Marks trying to say at 7.21-7.27? Did he mean "arachidonoylethanolamide" (also known as anandamide) or Noradrenaline. Or did he say "vor-der-nan-bean or voy-de-nan-dien? I found impossible to understand what he was trying to say and I was not on canabis. Nor other drugs which cause distortions of the mind. I listened repeatedly about 20 times but the best I could get was something like voor-der-nan-deen. Which sounds like something you may get in a Dutch Coffee Shop.

[MikeGreenwood51]

Yep-Sure. But mostly I just used the comments box to continue my comment. The boxes are sure too small to give any proper views on the subject. So really it was to me, just my comment (Singula) spread over about 20 comment boxes.

[MikeGreenwood51]

Somehow the video just does not seem to get across any point beyond the fact that Mr. Marks wants to smoke and have lighter sentences. Or something. The few facts he trys to put across cause me to think he has just not bothered to research either nurology, pyschology or drugology. He has some information which he has put together, but seems to me to be wrong. Nether-the-less I respect the fact that those facts he may have may have been his opinion. THC is not getting stronger................

[MikeGreenwood51]

@MikeGreenwood51....THC is the same strenght as it was 10 years ago. I mean this like alcohol. Beer is a different strenght to spirits. The alcohol in the spirits is not stronger. It is the quantity of alcohol which is greater in Spirits which make whisky,Brandy,Vodka stronger than beer. One gram of pure THC is exactly the same strenght as one Kilo. The more (Grams(quantity)) you smoke the more "Off ur trolly" you will be. 1 puff does not make you Schitzoid or off your head.

[MikeGreenwood51]

But like alcoholics, Many cannabis users do not want just a little drink of alcohol or a single puff. To them they r not satisfied untill they r compleatly off their heads,drunk or stoned.A state of altered perceptions such as is known as intoxicated.Once they are compleatly stoned they may talk compleate utter gibberish, b totally unfit 2b amonst straight company & exhibit signs of dementia such as madness, cuckoo or stark stareing raving bonkers.Some think they r Henry the eighth.

[MikeGreenwood51]

I am now over age 50 and many years ago worked on the festival sceen as a food purveyer. On a number of occasions I was witness to people freaking out due to their fear of the what they were experiencing as a result of taking a drug. When they reach that state they often have to turn from their friends & seek help from else where because they know their friends are off their heads.Hospitals have many cases of freaking out patients turning up at A&E.It is that state of mind which I would call..

[MikeGreenwood51]

Schizopherenia or clinical pyschosis.Thousands of drug users are probably a'home right now having a smokeThey may be enjoying a really exstatic experience which to them is incredible plesuarable.In my opinion they r not schizophrenic. Schizophrenia is a state of mind when a person is actually suffering which is different to the experience of pleasure.But when people get really stoned a state of incapability replaces the normal state of capability. Perfectly normal situations become impossible.

[MikeGreenwood51]

So to answer the question Howard has asking. Yes the two states are similar. Or there is an overlap. Some characteristics are shared by both. Hallucinations is one shared characteristic. Canabis is a pyschotropic known as an hallucinogen. But the difference is wheather a person is suffering or not. He may be very happy. Another example is a person who has a drink of alcohol is not an alcoholic and may be having a good time. 10 years after as a chronic alcoholic he may be hallucinating & unable

[MikeGreenwood51]

..unable to stop. He may be doing himself real harm. His liver may be half shot and his total existence misarable. He is suffereing daily with the only cure more of the poison which put him there in the first place. The truth is he may be dying. I have seen a few go that way. Sad! So what I mean is an occasional smoker who enjoys a few is not really schizopherenic. Though his experience when hallucinating is just like symptoms of schizophrenia. Schizophrenics may hear or see things which....

[MikeGreenwood51]

...which are not there. Objects and sounds may be altered to such an extent that they disturb the normal life of a schizophrenic. The same occures with canabis smokers who get really stoned. But the occasional smoker may enjoy his experience and learn from it. He is not suffering. But some will really freak out when they realise there friend is really an extra from a hammer horror movie or some other such absurd hallucinatory nightmarish character. If their friend is really big ears then

[MikeGreenwood51]

.then that may mean they have been spying on u.So if they have been spying on u all those years they were never ur friend. So why don't u tell him what u think of him.That his little game is up.You know all about him.& Alice ran down the rabbit hole.Why do people want 2experience an hallucination.A state of mind where and when they preceive things which are not there?Some lose control of their halluciation.For some the dream becomes a nightmare.So canabis can tip some people into that nightmare

[MikeGreenwood51]

Just like alcohol can tip some people in to a nightmare which ends up with complete abstinance or worse death. Illegal drugs for some people resalt in their families falling apart as well as the users social standing. Those results can be described as symtoms by those who never wanted such. They just wanted the pleasant time. Oh yes some users have bad trips. It is the bad trip part of canabis use which is exactly the same as schizophrenia.

[MikeGreenwood51]

It is different to a some nightmares because during most real nightmares the person experiencing the nightmare wakes up at the most terrifying part, then realises it was just a bad dream, a nightmare. But for the canabis user who is really very stoned as with the schizerphrenic He won't be waking up from the nightmare. Not just yet anyway. The cause of the nightmare is in the blood and the drug still has some way (Maybe hours or days) 2go.Part of the canabis users nightmare may be his struggle

[MikeGreenwood51]

to understand wheather what he is seeing is really real. Because he knows he has a drug inside him which causes such affects he may take a lot of comfort as self assurance that it was just an hallucination. Where as the real schizerphrenic may not know that he is suffering from a chemical imbalance. he may start to believe his hallucination. He could believe that everyone is laughing at him. It may b society which decides he is suffering rather than he.If the schizerphrenic decides 2 hurt others

[MikeGreenwood51]

his illness may then be diagnosed as pyscopathic. English society has rules and laws to deal with pyscopaths. So there is an overlap, a simularity with schizerphrenia and canabis. Not all alcoholics go totally bonkers but some have got violent. Some really nice people have got drunk then run in to the law who may have arrested them for being "Out of Order". But then the nice drunk goes nutz coz he does not want an arrest. He is just having a good time. But he ends up punching and kicking.

[MikeGreenwood51]

If seen on a video his behaviour would seem very uncharacteristic.He himself may find it hard to believe he actually behaved the way he did.If on the otherhand instead of kicking and punching, he grabs a weapon, maybe a stick,bottal,or chair and hits the arresting police officer which results in the officers death.Then His drunken behaviour may result in some analysis to determing weather he is/was mad (Mentally ill).Either way he is going 2b locked away.Either way society is going to label him.

[MikeGreenwood51]

So most definitly there are simularities. But canabis pyschosis is a symtomatic state of mind experienced by some canabis users. Canabis pyscosis is a pyscosis just the same as schiozerphenia. Therefor I would say that if U or any1 is experiencing canabis pyscosis then you are experiencing a form of schizerphrenia. What is important is to differentiate. So to differentiate you could call canabis pyschosis, "Psuedo Schizerphrenia because it is caused by a known chemical, namely canabis.

[MikeGreenwood51]

There R other psychiatric illnesses such as parkinsons disease which are differentiated by the terms psuedo when the cause is know to be caused by a drug. The sympoms are the same but the causes are different. They psuedo sufferer is experiencing a side affect caused in many cases by his volentary ingestion of a drug rather that due to an unknown cause. In this example the symptoms are much more likly to cause the sufferer distress as he does not understand his suffering.

[MikeGreenwood51]

I mean the person who has the disease which is not caused by a known drug. He is more likely to suffer distress. But either way. Canabis pyschosis implies suffering and distress. The pyschosis part of the label is an illness. Many canabis uses experience anxiety. Anxiety can in some cases be of a pyschosis. If you use your own labeling such as mild, moderate or severe. The mild anxiety can be easily delt with. Moderate maybe a warning of worse so stop smoking. But severe needs treatment.

[MikeGreenwood51]

Instead of anxiety you can use the words "Bad trip". So if your bad trip is mild you can deal with it. But if severe then that is definitly a schizerphrenic pyschosis as well as a canabis pyschosis.But it is better to realise that it is a psedosymptom so your Mind can attempt to deal with it.If you thought of pyschosis on a scale of 1 to 10. With zero as no pyschosis and 10 as requireing straight jackets, handcuffs detension and a stay in Maximum sercurity Prison hospital. Then schizerphrenia

[MikeGreenwood51]

..would not be in that top spot. In the catagorisation of pyscotic illnesses it would not be classed as really severe. If U then said schizerphenia was 5 on that scale with mild schizerhrenia as 5 to 5.3- Moderate as 5 and servere as 5.7 to 5.99. Then if it reached scale 6 it would be classed as something other than schizerphrenia. The whole scale is a scale of pyscotic illenesses. So again, canabis state of mind can be classed using the same scale.But it would only be measureable if symptoms

[MikeGreenwood51]

of illness occur. So it could even result in illness worse than schizerphrenia. It could be beyond level 6. I think a lot of uses may agree that if they experience unpleasant affects from canabis use then they stop. Anxiety is not uncommon. Like with the alcoholic a few people just don't stop. With alcohol the drug it self stops the person. It will eventually put him to sleep. But in a few cases a canabis user may overdoes severely on canabis. Then he may be experiencing severe pyschosis.

[MikeGreenwood51]

Or a form of severe schizerphrenia. Albeit it is caused by canabis and could be said to be psuedo scizerphrenia. It is still scizerphrenia. It is still a psycosis, a state of mental ill health. Most canabis uses really do not want a really bad trip. But some end up with one. I mean that the trip or the pyschosis (either pertain to the state of the mind) depends on the quantity. Again I use the example of the alcohol consummer. A drink rarely causes a bad experience.But the continued consumption

[MikeGreenwood51]

increases the liklyhood of a mishap or bad situation which needs to be dealt with. Varying syptoms can be seen due to increasing amounts. Or varying states of illhealth. All are forms of incapacitation. After about a bottle of scotch many men are totally unable to walk, talk or see properly. If they don't stop drinking they may harm them selves or others. Canabis is also a possible cause of illness due to the quamtity consummed. The more you injest the higher up the scale of illness ur illness

[MikeGreenwood51]

may be measured. So in conclusion the two states of mind are clearl related. There is positive correlation. But just how much they are the same may be proportionately relative to the amount injested or smoked. Many cases of schizerphrenia are treated with medication which mayalso include anti-depressants which share some characteristics of THC-they are both uppers.So if you use it to help you cope with existing schizerphreniathen sure it may help to eliviate some of the depression.

[MikeGreenwood51]

But if its the canabis(THC) which causes the schizerphrenia in the first place. Then loads of canabis is not going to cure it. Like with the alcoholic. Loads of alcohol will not cure his alcoholisim except when it kills him. But if he reduces his consuption to an occasional drink-he could live with alcohol, use alcohol to cure alcoholism, in that he reduces his consumption to an amount which is not classed as alcoholisim. A couple of drinks a week does not make an alcoholic. So as with canabis

[MikeGreenwood51]

an occasional amount used as medication would not lead to pyschosis directly. It would instead be used to controll the pyschosis. In that I mean to keep the pyschosis at bay, under-control. But there are many medications available on the NHS which do simular. Hopfully that answers that. But really as in y 1st message I am not really sure what you Mr.Mark are trying to ask, or get across. Are you stoned but trying to lecture about canabis, schizerphrenia, pyschosis and madness or slightly mad

[MikeGreenwood51]

At the end of the video it became clear that you may already be dianosed as scizerphrenic. But I could not be sure. There was no point where you asked a question. So it may have just been a soliloquy.Actually in the video you look a bit far gone.So why I should try to make sense of it I don't know. Because I guess it doesn't make sense to you either-that is the reason you are on public show-because things stopped making sense.You ended with "What the Kucf is going on?" which was the only

[MikeGreenwood51]

@MikeGreenwood51 question you actually asked. Well it sounds like you are slightly mad , with a few cards short of a full deck, Thats how you make it sound. This was the first time I ever heard of Howard Marks, but I just noticed loads of videos about him (You) so I think there is more to him than meets the eye at first. But if you don't know whats going on-maybe consider stopping canabis untill you do know. Canabis can interfear with your knowledge of reality. Bye

[Celtic8781]

@MikeGreenwood51 you wrote about 20 comments..

[ninjakid6]

@MikeGreenwood51 Okay, first of all, schizophrenia is NOT caused by THC, that's a total myth and I have no idea where you got that information, but it's complete myth. It's never been shown to increase risk of schizophrenia without the subject in question already having had schizophrenia in his family line.

[The1masterofdisaster]

i meet him on tuesday night in bridport england he done a show it was brilliant

[poepflater]

egap, your ignorance is blatant.

[karlphillips1]

i sick of being made a criminal purely for being a marajuana smoker.government wake up to the facts.marajuana is NOT the deadly substance we have been led to beleive.look at the medi growers/users in Canada an the USA.its time for a change.give legalization a chance

[egapnala65]

For more druggie fun look up "The Messiah at Guildford Cathedral".

Jesus has been reborn!!! And he loves a joint!!!

[yoss1978]

You need help. Seriously.

[egapnala65]

Er...... you are looking at somebody who seems only capable of enunciating one word every 20 minutes and "The Messiah" declares himslef to be God reborn and blames famine in Africa on Cannabis prohibition and you say I need help?

Look again druggie, preferably in a mirror.

[mgore90]

@egapnala65

He was born in my village, Kenfig Hill in South Wales, and the sad fact is he's the most successful person ever from this area. He has three degrees and a PHD, he's been a multi millionaire: had the time of his life. I look at my prospects and at best I'll become a teacher earn £25,000 a year, not enough to ever own a house, and I had the third highest A level grades at my school 160 pupils 3rd= top 1.9%ish, yet it's a shit school in a shit area, I'd trade my life 4 his any day

[EyeH8Gzus]

@egapnala65 lmao you probably sweat ignorance. cannibas prohibition is the reason there is lots of problems, its not called the biggest cash crop in the world along with hemp for no reason

[egapnala65]

@EyeH8Gzus Well "cannibas" prohibition may well be a problem, but we are talking about Cannabis here.

Alfred Kinsey argued that the prohibition of paedophilia was the cause of lots of problems too.

I don't agree with him either.

[wozz2dmancm1boy]

ILL POO

[ZorbaGreekLondon]

egapnala65, dont go using the term "druggie" so easily, its offensive, ignorant and shows complete disregard of any actutal understanding. did you come up with that before of after you consumed your alcohol? i feel sorry for your little mind

[egapnala65]

@ZorbaGreekLondon

Poor little druggie getting all sensitive? Ahh diddums. I find the prescence of druggie wasters like this prat offensive.

Now go and neck a shedload of "e"s wave your little glowstick around and vomit copiously and I will sit and laugh.

[diegopunk]

consciousness expansion thru self awareness/compasion love and ONEness

"what stains a man is what comes out of the mouth, not what goes in"

to all u christians thats a quote by "jesus"

its in ur own bible that most dont even read nor study

even in exodus shows jesus was baptized with a holy anoiting oil containing Cannabis

we have cannabinoid brain receptors for a reason! thanks to evolution and countless GAnja burn seshions of our ancestors

[egapnala65]

And 7 year old girl have clitorises. By your mode of reasoning......

And its "sessions" . Pah just go on drooling.

[Rumbleman99]

@diegopunk it also states in Genesis 1 and 9 that God gave to us all seed bareing plants for us to use as we see fit, i dont know the exact quote but thats the jist of it, what a legend HOward!

[andy21212121rfggadg]

oh shut up eganpala65 you are rather

loquacious. That hatreds going to eat you up!

[egapnala65]

Another champion of free speech!! Good day to you sir.

[GAMEBOY379]

egapnala65 you are STILL commenting on this video LOL. Do you have a life? You are looking like a sad cunt right now and everyone on here is laughing at you. If you dont agree with weed, dont smoke it. Leave comments on Heroin videos cos thats the drug that destroys lives. You one weird fucker LOL feel sorry for you. All the best.

[egapnala65]

Er.... actually I've also been talking about the Italian Ars Nova, the letters of C.s Lewis and listening to Zelenka.

You sad little piece of druggie excrement just don't know what youir missing out on.

Stick to boring us all shitless with your views on comparative rizla thickness.

[egapnala65]

Remember kids, smoking skunk can lead to a long, slow, painful conversation.

[retardedeskimo]

Do you consume any of the following just out of pure curiosity? Alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, Prozac, Valium, Vicodin?

[egapnala65]

Yes, altogether in a bucket with the eggs on top.

So far as I can tell, I can still speak coherently without drooling, have felt no desire to bore everybody shitless with the last time I felt "like REALLY cosmically, like related man, on a whole new level" with a dog turd, or indeed have ever needed to mug some old lady for a new teabag.

I also have a pair of trainers that may have put together by some 5 year olds, but that doesn't mean I want kiddy porn legalised.

[retardedeskimo]

ok...You are quite an odd character. Look you are a hypocite if you blast and condemn cannabis use when you are using other mind altering drugs. I agree cannabis use can lead to very boring conversations but it definitely does not lead to aggressive behaviour which can result with alcohol abuse. Seriously though take it on the chin, cannabis is a very popular drug whether you like it or not and the sooner you stop insulting cannabis smokers the sooner you can get on with bitching on other videos

[egapnala65]

No, I am expressing an opinion. A hypocrite would be somebody who acted in a way that contradicted what he said.

One example, condemning alcohol as being worse than heroin and blasting people for having an occasional tipple, and then voting for 24-hour drinking.

Lots of druggies, I know, did exactly that. It demonstrated that they are quite prepared to pass, in their own views, socially irresponsible laws like providing unlimited supplies of a "drug" they equate with Heroin.

[retardedeskimo]

Your a hypocrite in the sense that you condemn the use of one drug which is scientifically proven to be safer than the legal drugs you consume.

[egapnala65]

Well, let me see, I can talk far coherently than this drugged up waster, I didn't support the 24 hour distribution of alcohol and was denounced as a reactionary for that as well.

In other words I am pretty much in the clear unlike you druggies, who are still spouting the same crap you spouted 50 years ago, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

[sqeebelee]

remember kids, if you dont like weed then dont smoke it or hang out with people that do. then you dont end up like like this jackass.

[DIPLO100]

Christ , do I get to look and talk like him if I keep smoking .!!!

Not another joint , promise . !

Dip ( aged 12 )

[egapnala65]

The man is a filthy degenerate criminal. He had links to both the IRA and the Mafia.

He is not some kind of hero, he's pure filth.

So perhaps you junkies want to worship the likes of Fred West?

[1faun]

wanker up the ira

[GAMEBOY379]

egapnala65, you are a moaning little bitch. Cannabis is much more safe to use than alcohol. If cannabis was made legal there would be much more less anti social behaviour like alcohol causes. Just because its illegal doesnt mean that its a bad thing, it means its not a taxable drug and the government couldnt make much money from it, cos people can grow it at home if needed, this is why it will never be legalised. This guy is not a 'junkie', he just chooses to smoke weed, just like MANY of us.

[mairena99]

howard, great book mate! unfortunately there are still morons out there like 'egapnala65' with no fucking clue whatsoever + who, to be honest, come accross as being angry and violent towards others.

[egapnala65]

"Come accross as being angry and violent towards others"

"Read up on Howard Marks before you start talking complete bollix (sic), you fucking twat."

Speaks for itself really. Man's capacity for self delusion (even amongst junkies) is infinite.

[dimebucker2]

this man speaks the truth! read his book!

[beogradwill]

He claims to have a physics degree from Oxford and a Philosophy degree from Sussex. I heard him say as much on the google movie called Mr. Nice. I have no reason to doubt him but I do doubt that he remembers much physics nowadays. It is pretty intense and maybe that is why he took to doing the puff in the first place, he claims he didn't start smoking until he was 20 years old. It is claimed that younger smokers whose brains aren't fully developed are at greater risk of psychosis than oler men.

[SamWrangles]

@beogradwill this is true, too many young people are smoking it, the government need to take controll and protect people rather than criminalizing them. i started at 14, i quit for a year and experienced alot of mental health problems (bare in mind my family does have a history of mental health) the law failed me, now i am 19 and i smoke everyday, it supresses all my bad feelings and emotions and i am nowhere near as bad as i was before.

[thebrotherhoodorg]

you piss off man, if this man did something in his life was way before coming this living scum, everybody knows the effect of cannabis and are very much in your face if you want to fool yourself then do it, don't get upset because somebody tells you what is more than obvious for a 3 years old child.

[newsunfest]

After the much than obvious effects of it, we are still on this debate?, look a person with a healthy life and look this doped moron, there is not further investigation needed, the truth hits you in the face pretty clear.

[haggard220]

doped moron you need to do more research on this man before you go bashing him like that he has a physics degree from cambridge univ. hes been an mi6 agent a teacher, writer etc so piss off

[egapnala65]

And your point is? The man is a dribbling tool.

If he has had such high flying employment it probably owes more to old school tie and wealthy parents etc than anything else.

[haggard220]

i think i made my point the first time but ill say it again if you dont know who this is then i wouldnt go callin him a dribbling tool cause hes not at all hes done more in his life than you can even dream of doing do some more research cause you look like the tool

[haggard220]

oh my fukin god you call weed brain rot thats all this guy smuggled hash and canabis you really do know nothing to be a junkie you first have to be addicted to a substance which is not possible i bet you drink which is proven to be worse that canabis for one booze is very adictive and the reason i like this guy is cause hes fighting for a cause that the majority of people in the world belive in ill say again do some reasearch about canabis you apparently know nothing about it

[egapnala65]

Dear oh dear, pathetic little druggies getting all wound up because their drooling degenerate little criminal god gets trounced.

Shame you seem to have spent more time at the holy altar of junkie propaganda than at school which would have given you the ability to construct sentences.

Filthy degenerate criminal worshipping waste of space and bodily tissue.

[haggard220]

haha im not even gettin wound up and trust me i have the best education money can buy i just dont give a fuk about spelling and grammer while posting comments on youtube the fact that you do makes you a fukin weirdo and who says druggie anyway you know soooo little about the world it boggles my mind yet you try and talk trash and come off sounding like a tool a big ol douchey tool

[GAMEBOY379]

egapnala65, you like Bob Dylan (its in your favourites) he was a cannabis smoker also, is he a 'filthy junkie' too? you need to get your head out of your ass LOL. I think you are a sad wanker that likes to argue with people on YouTube for your own pleasure, cos you are to chicken shit to argue with anyone face to face. Its very pathetic and sad.

[mairena99]

read up on howard marks before you start talking complete bollix, you fucking twat

[brynsta111]

actually he was awarded a scholarship to oxford

[egapnala65]

Yes he has a degree in Nuclear Physics. Pretty much underlines what a complete waste of space he is.

What an example eh?

[ismalali]

This guy's sooo hi! After seeing him sitting there with one forgotten lit cig on his head for 3 minutes.. the man finally has some solid reason to continue their fight against legalizing Marijuana. Thanks alot 'bud'.

[isthiswhereitype1]

lol ash ur cig! 8.14 lol

[mickmon]

i rspect this Mr Howard Marks, down to earth truthful views on the cannabi plant, well done.. im wit ye! legalise

[14kip]

this wofld needs 2 wake up... what right do the government tell me and u ganja is illegal.natural not harmful atall. piss me off. we need more guys like howard in parliament to hear the true voice of reason.. leg howard keep up the good work.lol

[maxdolan9786]

s.b.d

[maxdolan9786]

bearing in mind this is after i got arrested for no reason ,they drugs tested me and i swear it was fixed man,then i took the piss out of the police and they just took me away,then this guy told me he thought i had chronic schizophrenia so i told him i was gonna knock his fuckin block off,he left the island ,they let me go etc etc,and in the end i beat them at their own game,

[maxdolan9786]

,in the end when they couldnt come up with a diagnosis i told them i was a compulsive lyer,they said that explains everything,apologised for the malpractice took me off the section and let me go,i just wish i'd thought of it earlier

[maxdolan9786]

loads of people smoke pot,they did lock me up and it took them 6 months to come up with a diagnosis ,i was on a section where i coudnt leave the country and i had to have an injection of rispiredal consta once every 2 weeks which the side effects were well bad,and if i didnt go the police would arrest me and take me to a psychiatric hospital

[maxdolan9786]

ive smoked pot everyday pretty much religiously since i was 14 and its never given me any problems,most people say i smoke too much ,although at one point i had doctors telling me that if i smoked pot then id be locked up in a psychiatric ward,and for what?

[DIPLO100]

Is this guy for real ? Obviously they caterorized cannabis to stop people ending up like him ! .

Alzeimers here we come . !!!!!

[DeathToISLAM666]

Do you know who this man is!?!?!?!?

[egapnala65]

Yes, he has a degree in nuclear physics from Cambridge university and can bearly string a coherent sentence together. What a waste of talent.Dribbling and drooling away here.

[flyingmonkeydust]

I think you'll find he studied Natural Science, Physics at Oxford University, Physics at UCL, History and Philosophy of Science at Oxford University and then Philosophy of Science at Sussex University

[egapnala65]

And your point is?

Here he is with all that stuff behind him that kids on council estates have little chance of accessing and here he is drooling away, barely able to construct a coherent sentence withpout punctuating it with er...er.... Pathetic twat!!

Remember cannabis can lead to a low, slow, painful conversation.

[flyingmonkeydust]

That's called being old, he is about 63 years old!

And also it could be part of his Welsh accent..

He isn't drooling at all!

[egapnala65]

No it's about being skunked out of his putrid little brain.

I have relatives in their 80's who can talk far faster and more coherently than this druggie drooler.

[flyingmonkeydust]

Okay...he's stoned...but he isn't drooling, he is coherent and it's your incompetence that can't get past a regional accent

[egapnala65]

No, he's totally fucked. Bet he hasn't had a toke all day. he's totaly skuned out of his brain.

I CAN get regional accents. It's all the ers and ahs and ums that seperate each word which I have no patience with. Typical junkie gibberish, the video stretches out a ten second soundbite into eight minutes of ghastly self centred, self indulgent hogwash.

To consider it coherent, you must be as smacked out of your brain as he is.

[brynsta111]

you already used the old slow painful conversation one mate i think you better have a joint to get some inspiration for some new material no offence just an observation thats all

[brynsta111]

the below are F.A.O. egapnala 65

[egapnala65]

Well actually its a well known fact that drugs destroy rather enhance creativity. Look at this guy for example. Or all his druggie supporters.

[SamWrangles]

@egapnala65 i live on the welsh boarder, alot of wesh people go er.. er... also alot of british people go er...er... and do u ever watch the news??? the news is full of er...er....ing, theres no link to his "er"s and cannabis use, if you think there is then you really are ignorant, my step dads sister has MS and she uses cannabis to help her, are you calling her a druggie junkie too??? or how about cancer patients???

[the1stquickwater1]

this is my whole point , an tobacco that addicting drug what about that thay make alot of money frm that an weed,keeping peaceful foke in jail judges cop lawers uh ha lets get it together man what the fuck is the matter wt these asswipes we can make jobs oil plastics but we donoooooo't dumb asses,i say fuck all we got work to do so wake up an smell the weed ok tax it we still come out ahead am i right or what !!!!!!!!!!!!

[shroomery11]

Good video. Only problem was the cannabis phychosis "If there is such a thing" My gf flipped out for 3 months from smoking weed. It happened twice. I smoke it for 5 years heavily and had no problems at all. So cannabis is fine but to be honest, I think you have to be very careful on who smokes it and who doesnt. Think twice if you have existing mental disorders such as aspurges.

[hashbrownman]

It's the responsibility of the user firstly, secondly the responsibility of everyone else around you and only thirdly should it concern the state. But because cannabis is illegal, everyone is secret about it with regards to family, where they get it, how often they use it etc. I'm not saying we should legalise it like alcohol and cigarettes, it should be moderated to a point. Grow and smoke in your own house I'm talking about... if they did make it totally legal and free to do, they'd exploit us

[IYANDIY]

hehe... he has a way of putting it eh?

just put half as much in a spliff..fucking...

Yeah ,they should lock up the the propoganda pushing hype touting fuckfaces who condemn standard people who are known for being full on caners.I reckon craig lovato's gonna be hunting you down , derek,unless of course, you are craig lovato?

[maxdolan9786]

Who, in the fuck,is craig lovato?

[chunkybastardhaaaa]

C.I.A

[derekdog05]

craig lovato is a flabby sadistic cunt and he is the one who should be locked up for the rest of his life to protect normal non sadistic people from him and his kind.

[maxdolan9786]

Oue ,jen sui sur que la suele raison que c'est illegal c'est parce que ,les gouvernement ne peuvent pas le taxer,et en plus,ils savent que les gens fassent de l'argent sans qu'ils payent taxe,a cause de ca,ils utilisent les gens innocents comme la preuve que ca cause des problemes,meme que c'est juste la propoganda,ce qu'ils font ,ils trouvent les gens influenciele a la population,les gens qui sont par example,des icon des gens qu'ils kiff,epuis ils essayent de les 'brainwash' et reformer,etc,

[duffdeluxe]
