Cannabinoid Receptors - Horizon: Cannabis - The Evil Weed

[ashtongrist]

Didn't like the theology bit at the end. Science is always about truth. I care nothing for your opinion. How would the loss of all those jobs be good for the economy? On what basis do you posit that it has been proven that it doesn't cause harm to the adult brain?

[ThePeopleneedhelp]

lol jeez thc does cure cancer though. and helps the pineal gland fricken' sweet i would call it a drug though . i think drugs are more man made :/

[shunysham]

there are adverse unwanted and serious side effects of sustained canabis use (fullstop). there are also good effects of cannabis use in moderation (full stop).

[illtrax]

@Stand4TheRepublic - Yes. They are depriving you of proper healTHCare.

[shunysham]

@illtrax no they are depriving you of a drug that can help sustain positive neural health in the precence of disease. THC is not nessecairy for neural health.

[illtrax]

@shunysham - I realize this. My comment was a play on words. It's the combination of all the Cannabis compounds, not just THC, that provide such great health benefits. There is little to no proof of serious side effects from sustained use. Hell, too much water will effect you worse then too much Cannabis. But... everything in moderation.

@illtrax "There is little to no proof of serious side effects from sustained use."

Looking for 125 effects Google ... "Fulla Nayak" :)

We should be able to do what we want as long as we dont harm anyone :P

[tonyfarese]

Excellent video. Very well presented. I was aware of the canabinoid system but found very little video presenting or documenting the science. Very compelling to see the full body scan. I like being a heretic. In this age of information heretics get to live long enough to be vindicated. I believe vindication is the purest form of revenge.

UNpleasant taste? tastes good as hell

Cannabinoid Receptors (CB1 & CB2) are in our skin, brain, retina, pancreas, uterus, immune system, intestines, colon, liver, spleen, kidney, ribs, white blood cells, heart, central nervous system, bones & bone marrow (stem cells) etc. Without the 600+ Million year old Endocannabinoid System*, Stem Cells would act like a car without a driver.

We live in an evil world where governments deny natural plant medicines to the people and poison sick people with synthetic petrochemicals whose side effects kill over 150,000 Americans every year.

[LostHighwayRambler]

Cannabis is not evil, laws against it's users are

[OpiatedBliss]

interesting

[MarcLT1]

Quick view of cannabinoid receptors, odd thing is that it quietens down other neurotransmitters in the brain

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

THC (Rick Simpson's Cancer Cure Hemp Oil) achieves this wizardry by binding to protein receptors on a cancerous cell's surface. Once attached the THC induces the cell to make a fatty substance called ceramide, which prompts the cell to start devouring itself. "We see programmed cell death" Velasco says. What's more, noncancerous cells don't make ceramide when they come into contact with THC. The healthy cells don't die.

Very interesting stuff.

[spindleneedle]

what about the genital region... i see bright red and yellow!

[PowerOfNight88]

@spindleneedle

I was wondering that too, we have cannabinoid receptors in our junk apparently, which is oddly not mentioned...

[tymoe417]

Alright, those comments on the end were completely not researched. The argument that the body accepts cannabinoids is firstly irrelevant because there is no evidence to say the body should take even a little bit more than what is there and secondly THC is a different type of cannabinoid, not naturally occurring ones. THC was NOT intended for the human body.

Maybe if people stop getting high off pot, maybe it would be legal. :\ Get high off life.

[hypnofan35]

i think this is how it works with humans: They need rules and automatic status to be able to control one another in a civilized environment. Humans like to experience a sense of "overlordness" in their daily lives so they impose and enforce belief systems on one another with status being the prize. Pot, as it turns out; tends to dampen the idiotic belief and confomity energies that the witch destroyers (status lusters) enjoy. Pot helps alot.... Pot helps alot..... Pot helps alot..

[youztuber5000]

Damn that shits evil!

[unigirlb]

If marijuana is to be legalized, the strains used must be modified in terms of ratio of THC to CBD to suit particular disorders/diseases. You should never give someone with schizophrenia or anxiety the type of marijuana which is illegally being grown as it has way too much THC and way too little CBD.

[illtrax]

@unigirlb - Yes, with legalization there would be more information concerning the percentages of cannabinoids present in the Cannabis. In Cali and Colorado there are labs that test for THC/CBD levels as well as for molds, pesticides and other impurities. Mind you, lab testing is optional. The Cannabis industry is regulating itself even before the government is willing to.

[Ruzlier]

@unigirlb everone knows people want weed for the thc >.<

[Hedstrom73]

@unigirlb WRONG, it can help schizophrenia...my friend is a living proof...

[andresblazeit420]

All the text at the end felt like bullshit propaganda.

[illtrax]

@andresblazeit420 - No. Having a politician on Fox New saying 'Cannabis is the most dangerous drug'... that's bullshit propaganda. I'm simply stating my opinion.

I see you have '420' in your user name. Why do you feel it's bullshit? Why is it propaganda? Don't be like all the other trolls out there on YouTube and scream bullshit without stating why.

[MountainmanChase]

@illtrax I'll state "WHY" for him. It's bullshit because countless numbers of individuals experiencing Epilepsy,Autism, etc., other related mental illnesses, cancer patients, or anyone who is experiencing pain, anxiety, mental or physical.. could be using cannabis to help or even completely heal their pain or illness. It's bullshit because TOBACCO is legal, even though it's the cause of cancer. It's bullshit because people are so deluded that they actually believe that it kills brain cells.

[MountainmanChase]

@MountainmanChase I am here to tell you that nicotine,alcohol, and pretty much every other drug damages the brain... And I'll be damned if you don't believe it. So why is it propaganda? Because those in power only have one reason for marijuana remaining illegal. That is because it contains "NO MEDICAL PROPERTIES." Well guess what.. It has 1000's of medical purposes/properties. It's propaganda because it's the only drug that will actually get us thinking. Think What? Think why the fuck are we so

[MountainmanChase]

@MountainmanChase Stupid.

[andresblazeit420]

@andresblazeit420 The ideas expressed were making assumptions about people, political and economic policies, which may or may not be true. Plus, how do you explain, the "theory of creation"?

[jusblazefull]

@andresblazeit420 DAMNNNNNNN if you thought that felt like propaganda, you should WATCH the "Live above the influence" BULLSHIT propaganda commercials!!! And all the other government propaganda BULLSHIT!

[jakenowatzke]

Aspirin acts on the brain by preventing the enzyme FAAH from breaking down our own endocannabinoid, anandamide. The only catch is that aspirin, acetaminophen, is toxic and will kill you. Cannabis(or mostly any other cannabinoid for that matter) will not. =) Go in truth!

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

THC (Rick Simpson's Cancer Cure Hemp Oil) achieves this wizardry by binding to protein receptors on a cancerous cell's surface. Once attached the THC induces the cell to make a fatty substance called ceramide, which prompts the cell to start devouring itself. "We see programmed cell death" Velasco says.

The best reason to keep cannabis illegal is to save the CIA from having to appear before Congress for funding. How else do you think they get all the money for all the covert operations they run around the world. My guess is that the war on the Mexico border is the CIA joining forces with one cartel to wipe out the competition and thereby monopolizing the cross border drug traffic. Why people can't see how corrupt our government has become is beyond belief.

[nolo430]

I wish I could show my girlfriend this... but it would just seem like im a drug addict reasoning to why I should use... The only time I have ever felt like using is wrong is when I have been punished by the law for something I dont believe is doing me wrong or when a loved one is judging me for it. :(

[illtrax]

@nolo430 - I feel for ya brov. Just remember, there are no such thing as bad drugs, just bad reasons for taking them. Your girlfriend most likely takes opiates on a monthly bases if she uses even a simple pain killer.

Even if you don't use for a specific medical reason there is no reason to be ashamed. People use cigarettes, coffee, and alcohol everyday. Do they feel the need to justify? Why do you need to?

Educate yourself on 'Reefer Madness' type propaganda so you're ready. It's your body.

[lawlmann]

@illtrax Time to stand up and fight.. The gov has been trying for 73 years to control something they cant.. so the destroy millions of peoples lives...

You tell her your just making a healthier and safer alternative to ciggs and alcohol..

[tymoe417]

@illtrax

1)There is a judicial system, you'll always be judged.

2) People should not use cigarettes, coffee, alcohol everyday

3) You need to justify EVERYTHING you do

4) You need to feel guild. If I didn't feel ashamed when I did something bad (such as driving without a license, etc.) You would never learn. Shame is a mechanism to help us grow. Pot gets rid of our better judgment, that which makes up human.

5)Your body deserves to be treated with some respect, not drugs.

[Azilythe]

@tymoe417

1) There are always logical fallacies, you'll always be opinionated.

2) People should not share opinions.

3) One doesn't need to defend one's standpoint from themselves, for he/she is already defending it.

4) "Shame" is a mechanism that helps us conform to the boundaries of society and culture.

5) One cannot justify what is "more right" or "more wrong" to what circums to another's body better than its possessor, that is up to their experience, knowledge, and responsibility, not yours

[DianeDi]

@nolo430

Big Pharma has criminalized natural healing & the government supports this thanks to backroom deals & lobbyists. Most plants grown organically in nature are there for a reason.

Show your girlfriend this amazing documentary - "Rick Simpsons - Run From The Cure" /watch?v=dPTnqXxcUJg

[Cyraside]

And no, no matter how much "common sense" may tell us that our bodies were "designed" to accept Cannabinoids, this is not the proper way to word it. Sure, we share a... unique relationship that's beneficial to medical uses yeah, but was the Earth "designed" for animal life or did animals evolve to the conditions presented by their environment? If you would of edited the end starting with "If someone tells you Cannabis..." and cut the previous titles out, I wouldn't be commenting here.

[illtrax]

@Cyraside - "was the Earth "designed" for animal life or did animals evolve to the conditions presented by their environment?" I agree. Shortly after making this video, I wanted to edit the text. However, from the beginning I decided to make it quickly and put it online to get feedback. Kind of a group project. You're the first to give constructive criticism. If you can say it better, write me text on any subject and I'll make a video for you. Challenge accepted?

[Cyraside]

5:21 "Theory of Evolution" or "Theory of Intelligent Design" This is nonsense, and there is no controversy. "Intelligent Design" isn't a scientific theory- it's not even a coherent idea. It's like saying, whether you believe in sexual reproduction via intercourse or babies arriving by airborne storks. There's NOT two theories that attempt to explain the diversity of life on Earth.. Evolution stands as that answer, just like atomic theory explains the interactions of matter on an atomic scale.

[illtrax]

@Cyraside - Thanks for the excellent criticism Cyraside. "Intelligent Design isn't a scientific theory- it's not even a coherent idea." Lol... I totally agree. If I remember correctly, the day I made this I had turned off the documentary "The Blind Watch Maker" because it was unbearable to watch. To even teach "Intelligent Design" is a dangerous thing. It's a last grasp attempt to justify an archaic doctrine. I wrote the caption to reach people regardless of their their beliefs of mine.

[Cyraside]

@illtrax "I wrote the caption to reach people regardless of their their beliefs of mine." There's absolutely nothing wrong with that and because I was unaware of your standing on the "conflict" between the actual science of evolution versus the "happening by magic" idea I may of been a bit hostile. It's just the text at the end left me somewhat annoyed when I remembered "Intelligent Design" -the video was about the natural world, not what some dreamed thousands of years ago in their minds.

[weiholau]

just to let those who dont know, 5.13 onwards isnt part of the documentary

[illtrax]

@weiholau - Yeah, I added that bit myself. The first part is edited as well. I recommend that everyone watch the ful version.

[genowinks]

Let us not be swayed by single, provocative documentaries that lean toward our personal biases, but rather let them manifest in us the need to question with boldness the true consequences of our actions. Will legalization of cannabis truly improve anything? This is a question we must approach delicately and objectively, for we must not by subjective in the views and decisions we will be held accountable for.

[illtrax]

@genowinks I agree with not being swayed by a single documentary; however, I must ask, have you actually seen this doc in full? It's quite unbiased.

"Will legalization of cannabis truly improve anything?"

Bloated drug war budgets, over crowded prisons, the loss of human life, human rights violations by law enforcement... just a few of the top of my head. So yeah, I do think things can by truly improved.

Thanks for the comment.

[terrygus1]

funny how we let this happen!

[iamsicsic6]

i loved this little video

[itsasin1969]

Winning in California in Nov will depend on if the campaign is run sophisticatedly. (remember prop 8 gay marriage?)

So many misconceptions held even by people who you would think would be pro pot.

The campaign MUST be centered on education if we are to win. The truth is on our side. Let us hope that Californians are smart enough to see

THC, THCV i love

bring on the psychedelics

[popcorn4014]

cbd is good but thc sucks

[illtrax]

"The researchers tested the effects of TCH in mice with brain cancer cells and two humans with aggressive brain tumors (called recurrent glioblastoma multiforme). TCH was injected daily near the tumor sites. Biopsies were taken before and after treatment.

The authors found that THC caused the tumors to shrink in both the mice and humans. They also noted that THC caused the tumor cells to undergo autophagy, or self-destruction. No toxic side effects were noted."

[ladivadivala]

Just more proof that Cannabis is here for a very profound reason. For a plant that has caused no overdose and has shown so much medical value along with a novel full of industrious uses why is it illegal? All one has to do is to honestly evaluate the information. People in power keep it illegal and that is a fact. Why? Think about it for a while.  Ponder over it. And ask yourself this simple question: Why is the industrial use still outlawed in America? Who benefits by it being illegal?

[lemondrop1523]

@ladivadivala your absoluetly right no one benifits, except the drug dealers which is what causes the violence and the drug war. It makes no sense, but I'm confident it will be legal very soon in california and prbly legal all around the US in the next 10-20 years.

[ladivadivala]

@lemondrop1523 I hope you are right about Cali making it legal, but as for the rest of the nation I hope it is made leagal a lot sooner. Internet sites like youtube are making it diffucult to keep the truth about Cannabis hidden.
