Cannabis: Usage, Effects, Side Effects, and Medicinal Uses

[Goddard008]

1:34 "or as a harmful poison that induces madness." LOL!! I laughed so hard... you're kidding right? Good stuff. 

[drivebyg]

@Hashjihadful

Obviously her information is wrong, for one she(probably) copy and pasted this from wikepedia. And secondly she Is probably uneducated like most people and therefore has beliefs which are not always true and not knowledge which is learned through experience.

[SuperFizzah]

My friend, who is against using marijuana, got mad at me once while I was high and said " I'm not being a bitch, I just like to have control of my body". I told him that I could do anything he could do while I was high so we played trivia games, I kicked his ass and then ate Duritos. It was great.

[ConservativeRev]

I'm for legalizing marijuana, but I see some problems with medical use:

Why the fuck don't you just take the T.H.C pill instead of lighting one up?

Why the fuck do people get pot for a broken arm?

Once I heard of a guy getting them for "a severe bruise"

Californians...........

[thesuperlemonstation]

@ConservativeRev because marinol has alot more negitive side affects than smoking. and you don't have to smoke weed. make it into brownies and eat it. no lung damage.

[CJbass420]

if weed damages your immune system then how come i rarely get sick? how come the people in my house who dont smoke get sick more often, and feel stronger sickness then those who do smoke weed? overall your kind've an idiot, legalize the ganj

[Hashjihadful]

@CJbass420 Same thing for me. Its weird, I started Smoking Pot, looked at my diet and realized it was shit, looked my exercise level and realized it was shit, and influenced me to be healthier! Not to mention the horrible things stress does to your body! There is scientific studies that show it increase your neuro-synaptic rate between certain cells, and these increase may counteract any negative effects to your immune system. OR lack of stress could do the same thing.

[CJbass420]

marijuana does not cause loss of motor coordination, im sorry but thats a bold face lie, ive never had any problems with that from smoking, i infact concentrate better while high, no altered perception either, also weed is not extremely powerful, and it does not kill brain cells at all, weed barely speeds up your heart rate infact, sex, and excercise speed it up, weed does not lower sex drive at all and thats absolutly pathetic that you said that, i smoke alot and im also horny alot

[Goddard008]

@CJbass420 To add to your point; THC actually promotes brain-cell growth. It, itself does not cause regeneration of cells, but it stimulates parts of the brain that can cause brain-cell reproduction. Short-term memory loss in pot smokers is only a temporary condition. It takes about a week for THC to fully flush from your system if you are a heavy user. After that time, any side-effects of weed smoking are gone, and you're prolly smarter, due to brain cell growth.

[rosenti]

Marijuana is NOT a drug, is a freakin plant with no chemical manipulation to produce.

[angelbaby83190]

im doing this as a school project, how did you get the little pot plant bullets?

[666nihil]

my only experience with cannabis is that, when smoking regulary, I sleep better, have a better appetit (which is good, cause I had anorexy), I can concentrate better and I don't feel depresed. I don't feel any urge to try some other drugs. And than someone states me that cannabis causes oposite effects. Well, lets just say that I don't really believe them...

[surfing1993]

as a former marijuana user i agree with all propositions about its negative effects although people here seem to disagree because, when you like something your not going agree that its bad for you :) it is only good for chronic pain or if used for other purposes ruining your life in the long run

[PcRoX123hackedACC]

former mariujana user my ass, i bet u tried it like twice, if you actually knew something about weed u would actually know that the effects vary on wich person is smoking it. and the high is always different.

[skullface89]

Forget this junk presentation. Get the real facts and study up on pot's cancer curing abilities, among other profoundly incredible medicinal attributes.

[chrisisagoodname2]

give me all the down sides in the world

I still know the truth and will never quit smokin weed

[Sparechnge]

weed affects your testis? wtf

[fuunguus]

Blah, Blah, Blah. But you guys forgot to mention the most harmful risk of smoking marijuana, being arrested.

[THExTOASTxOFxNewYork]

i didnt forget to mention your not funny, and maybe you need to smoke(you seem a little uptight).

[fuunguus]

I don't think I was trying to be funny.

Anyway, what motivates you to reply on me? Got a problem with my comment? Well then, write that in you're comment in stead of a weak attempt on insulting me.

[ruizseven]

fact 1 , it is fun.

fact 2, this video is a lie. (me 2009)

my research shows, an increase in food, and a over happy additude. um im 31 , so like 16 years research.

[canavral47]

hey yall can help legalize weed no joke just call 1973-409-3274 pass the number on

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

CANCER CURE = HEMP OIL

Rick Simpson's Cancer Cure Hemp Oil is Cannabis extract full of Cannabinoids (including THC).

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

Rick Simpson ... "Hemp Oil Cures Cancer"

Dr. Melamede ... "Cannabinoids kill Cancer Cells"

Dr. Di Marzo ... "THC exhibits anti - tumor effects on various Cancer Cell types"

SETH Group ... "Herbal (THC) compound kills brain Cancer Cells - but not normal brain cells."

Dr. Guzman ... "THC can promote the autophagic death of human and mouse Cancer Cells"

Dr. Mechoulam ... "we gave THC oil drops 400 times to children 1 -13 years old with Cancer & prevented vomiting & nausea 100%"

[moniquesagoofygoober]

haha, watch at 50 seconds and read point B, then watch 5:33 and read the 3rd paragraph. contradictory?

[THExTOASTxOFxNewYork]

good catch ma dude

[MaxHermann85]

Maybe this could be a follow up research project? Dont believe everything you read in a journal just because a Dr wrote it. In fact if you do your research you will find more people are adversely affected by cheese related diseases in Switzerland. Take academics with a pinch of salt as the majority of them have huge ego issues. Trust me dude, this mentality will get you through your degree better. Learn to question and read between the lines. Good luck

[MaxHermann85]

For someone who sounds like they are using a truly scientific approach, you really need to apply what you have learned.For example,in Canada, Holland and Switzerland cannabis use is much higher than in the US so if the point raised were accurate then neuro-cognitive, heart and pulmonary problems among the Canadian, Dutch and Swiss populations will be higher as a result.

[MaxHermann85]

You did your research well so well done but now you have to do the critical reading side of your assignment bro. See how long your presentation will be on tobacco or alcohol use. Read about the real reasons behind why weed is illegal as media and politics would have you fixate on only the mainly fabricated negatives. Google the following words: DuPont, Randolph Hearst and do some wider reading which you will need to master at university level. Also enjoy the weed when you get there...

[allhopeisgone32666]

this must be old cuz marijuana is used for medical uses in the unite states, lmao

[tdeff]

What a load of gash, i see more intelligent things come from my ass, well not literally but u know what i mean...gotta get me some of those endocannabinoids.....yeeeehaaa­a...u fuckin loser

[transversed]

youtube is about spreading info. if you don't like it, move on. i did the research and it's worth sharing.

[budburnin]

some of it.... wait scratch that, a lot of its wrong

[satanicwarrior666]

the second you said it was a gateway drug i knew how wrong your "research" was going to be. the people who study that it is a gateway drug ask hard drug users if they have started with weed.. obviously they have.. however millions of people smoke weed without ever the thought of doing anything harder. thats like the study that proved "it caused bad grades".. seriously? maybe those kids they tested did smoke weed, but the smart ones were too! this is all a load of shit. you get an F onyourproject

[Hashjihadful]

@transversed You say you researched this. Well I am a Bio-Psychology student who is possibly making my emphasis Psycho-Physiology and I can tell you plainly that Marijuana does not kill brain cells. That "fact" must of been taken from multiple studies that have been proven to be not based in Science. Effectively they pumped monkeys so full of smoke they couldn't breath. What happens with lack of O2? Dead brain cells.

[Hashjihadful]

@transversed You also say it damages energy production and growth and development hormones and glands. The key word here is damages, it does not damage, it affects, and when THC is not being consumed revert back to the normal condition. On a further note every stimuli that creates serotonin and dopamine in your brain can be addictive. Starching your ass can be addictive, if you do it every day, right before breakfast, and it has a positive effect. Your info is misleading.

[CJbass420]

@transversed Just because some website claims a bunch of things doesn't mean it's true, get you info from first hand sources like a true researcher.

[CJbass420]

@transversed Some fo these things I know for sure to be a lie. Firstly the laughter only happens to some people. It has actually been proven to increase sperm drive. Also I have a very high sex drive so that's wrong too. Also an actual scientist who's against legalization proved it actually helps with breaking down aging white blood cells which helps prevent cancer.

[prpimp250]

i didnt see the overdose fact of Marijuana which is...you must smoke 249 tons of Marijuana to overdose every ton = 4,000 pounds multiply 249 by 4,000 and you'll get the overdose answer ;) just a fun fact

[PSYCH0SILOCYBIN]

a ton is 2,000 pounds. not to take away from your point, which is valid. just sayin.

[shawnse29]

some of the things listed in this vid vary from user to user and they difer from a long period of time to short. all tho this is a great edu. vid nice work

[eggyskerton]

bollocks

[rajsuperskunk]

id like to add that the longest study ever done (30 years) to find a marijuana and cancer link found no difference in the lungs, neck, and throat between heavy marijuana smokers and people who dont smoke. dr donald taskin (who is against marijuana) from ucla conducted this study

[DeReK1637]

halutinations and loss of motor skills my fuckin ass

[PcRoX123hackedACC]

3:31 so what if you dont feel good while sober? you feel alot better while smoking

bahaha

[shrunkensimon]

Would have been alright if it wasn't so fucking biased/in favour of outright propaganda against Cannabis.

Fuck the scientific community. They are so biased its a fucking joke. Who do you think funds all these studies which end up saying cannabis is bad.. the fucking big pharma and corporations who would stand to lose BILLIONS if Cannabis was ever legalized

Get real. Cannabis is a medicine, and is one of the most versitile plants on this planet, period.

[transversed]

I agree that the scientific community is bound by politics. But I don't understand your point about propaganda. This presentation was heavily in favor of using cannabis or its derivatives to help people - in the safest way possible. And those pharma companies you mentioned can, and DO make billions by selling extracted THC, synthesized THC, and chemicals related to THC - as a medicine. Inform youself before you sound off on something, because your the one who sounds like a propagandist.

[shrunkensimon]

If you don't understand my point, then you don't understand much about cannabis my friend.

Synthesized and extracted THC DEFEATS the point of cannabis, because its not just the THC that holds the medicinal effects. There are dozens of other chemicals in cannabis which have the health benefits, not just the THC!!

[transversed]

Look, first of all THC extraction does not "defeat the purpose of cannabis". It helps many people suffering from neuropathic pain and other disorders that do not have any other treatment route. And it does so without introducing other chemicals that the body does not need.

[transversed]

Secondly, I don't disagree that there are more useful compounds in cannabis. When they find a way to use those compounds to help people, I guarantee that there will be other cannabinoids on the market.

[shrunkensimon]

Or they could just fucking legalize cannabis, and allow people to use the entire plant like it was intended, so they get the full range of chemicals in the balance that nature designed, instead of paying for some shite a big pharma company put together/which they will make even more profit off

Stop making excuses. You are either on our side, or you're on the side of the FED. Which is it? It couldn't be more fucking simple. There really is no debate.

[transversed]

Were talking about two different things. I'm talking about using drug treatments to help people, and your talking about getting high. So, let me answer your question from both perspectives. I'd love for cannabis to be legalized because people should come to their own responsible choices. People should be able to understand the real consequences, and decide for themselves.

[shrunkensimon]

Again displaying your bias. Im talking about BOTH (getting high and medicinal).

There are no consequences from using cannabis.. people have smoked and lived to a ripe old age with no side effects. Its tobacco, and added bullshit in the growing process which causes the problems.

Stop beating round the bush. You wouldn't need pharma to help people if it was just fucking legal! Jesus..

[transversed]

Who told you that pot has no side effects? Your stoner friends? There are carcinogens in the smoke, which is why if your going to do it and be smart about it you should eat it or vaporize it like good old Tim Leary did.

I'm not beating around any bush. Your pushing a slanted agenda. Your assuming that I'm "one of them" drug nazi conformist because I talk about the dangers of pot. The truth is that I used to be like you. Then I educated myself. I hope you do the same.

[transversed]

Nature has provided us with a great tool. With pot we can come to profound insights and new ideas that take humanity forward. Now all we have to do is start agreeing on how to use this tool. But as long as both sides shout false claims at eachother, that agreement will never happen.

[JuliRika]

great information, it's good to know

for responsible adults only

marijuana for all :D legalize!

[BigMoInAZ]

Love the effort! Could use some more facts but its understandable when you're being pressured to present a paper. You should make this available in the original Power Point presentation for download? I'd love the chance to dispute many of your so called research backed claims! As a MJ user of over 30+ years I find it amusing to read such detrimental accounting of the effects of MJ use as it pertains to the rest of the Schedule 1 Drugs in America! Spend a summer in Amsterdam and relax a little!

[transversed]

science can make anything sound bad. everything kills you. but seriously, there are side effects. if you are not experiencing them by now consider yourself lucky. try to indulge safely - i.e. vaporizing or cooking.

[Steadno]

Alcohol is the real gateway drug and it's legal...Mmm?

[fuunguus]

BULLSHIT, watched "super high me".. sperm count increased far higher than normal, and ive never heard about those other "side effects". who are you trying to fool. Dont believe everything on the net, it exist something called propaganda thats widly used in the drug war. your beeing told lies.

[transversed]

oh, you watched a movie? well never mind then! I'll disregard all the accredited journals and scientific articles my group and I used to research this presentation. In fact, I'll drop out of my psychopharmacology class and just smoke pot all day. yeah, thats the answer.

what.a.looser

i was going to delete your comment, but its too funny

and i smoke pot too, so don't think i'm "one of them" nazi conspiracy people or whoever you think is out to get you

[transversed]

your right, the scientific community is slanted. the government makes outrageous claims. but when you meet opposition with the same sort of ridiculous bullshit, do you really think your going to change things? you just prove their point.

and if you think that there are no real measurable harm in smoking marijuana (particularly the risk of lung cancer) then your just naive. do it safely. don't smoke it. eat it. vaporize it. but in your case i'd probably stay off of it for a few... weeks..

[senfeskotes]

Marijuana definitely effects people's brains differently though. Smoking it is absolutely the most dangerous way to put it in your body, you can't argue that. I don't know if you've seen "Super High Me" but its a perfect example of how it does effect people in different ways. fuunguus obviously did what most pot users did and associated one person's opinions and facts with everyones because it showed smoking in a very positive light.

[transversed]

the prof liked it. its a lot of facts and its all over the place, but its good knowledge to have

[fuunguus]

1 year ago. lol. But I'll answer anyway. The risk of lung cancer purely from marijuana smoking is minimal. Try find me a case where only marijuana was involved. Unlike nicotine, which tighten airways, marijuana make them open up more. Thus allowing more particles in the smoke to escape + allowing particles to get cough up more easily. Also, marijuana smoke act differently in the lungs than tobacco smoke, mostly effecting open spaces. I got all this info from a number of sources, mainly erowid.

[matteobn]

Awesome!
