To be honest I would claim that drugs (especially psychedelic drugs), have changed my life for the better. They have allowed me to investigate my own mind with love and clarity. Many indigenous societies have used psychedelic compounds in their brews specifically for this purpose.
Of course not all drugs accomplish this and can a cause harm, but we forget that alcohol is one of the most damaging drugs in society. it's all about acquiring an unbiased education on drugs and how they work.
But most of the things you hear about this drug is completely false and is not true. I suggest reading the book "Marijuana is safer than alcohol; so why do we push people to drink?" for further information on this issue.
You truely understand the purpose of marijuana if you only need little doses to get high - I now smoke the drug only once a month, and that would be frequent to me. The marijuana must be a high, not the high.
Hopefully people will be informed and smoke weed wisely.
Abusing marijuana is abusing its potential. You must not overestimate the power of this drug, because like anything else, it won't bring you an infinite happiness; there are negative effects with long-term use and believe me, I know that - I stopped cold turkey and had a primitive obsession with unimportant details and it put me into a minor depression. Fortunately, I stopped using it just in time and it didn't take so long to go away.
Unfortunately, not everybody has something to look forward to, to bring you out of your addiction, so many of adolescents and young adults keep stucked inside that bubble. Marijuana is a value changing drug, it changes your way to see things, but once the changes are made, you have to learn when to reduce your dose; otherwise, you might as well develop an addiction.
I am 17 years old, and have smoked marijuana from 3 to 5 times a day for at least 2 months and a half. I didn't understand the real purpose of this drug. The only reason why marijuana is prohibited is because the autority knows it can open the people's minds, but prohibition prevent people to be informed of the truth about this wonderful drug, so the only way to understand its negative effects is to live them and experience them.
I don't want to do different drugs, to mess myself up. I want to drink or smoke cannabis, for some casual fun. I do not want to try the hardcore drugs. I do not want to fail at life. I do not agree with the people who fail school, or miss school, to do drugs all the time, or partying every weekend and getting drunk. That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of, why the Hell would you want to ruin your life for that? This man is 80 or so, if he had done regular drugs, he would not be here.
I've spent hundreds, and thousands of hours using weed and alcohol, with very rare experimentation with harder drugs. I am twenty years old, and while most of my friends continue to use these substances daily, I have limited my usage to very infrequent occasions. (Once every couple of months, if that) For the sheer sake of clarity acheived through sobriety. I discovered this with no outside influences or persuasion. My parents, friends, and family all use some sort of drugs on a daily basis.
@darksonicma How about this thn.. I was a cutter who wanted to kill himself and was in care for 10 months.. Started using drugs recreationally and taking trips and now I work mondays - fridays n im lovin it!! So yeh, thiey are good, when used CORRECTLY
@unkownsmiley so you are suggesting that they DO NOT know that these things are dangerous? so what if i tasted it before and i didn't like it and I refused when someone asked me to do it? does that mean I am too scared to do it?
Iv'e never taken any kind of drugs not and will never, ever do so. My opinion on drugs is just a false escape and a total facade, Iv'e taken the choice to avoid them and never,ever take them the majority of my friends do but I will never do so. I cherish your opinion Geriatric.
@PatriotGR "Iv'e never taken any kind of drugs ...My opinion on drugs is just a false escape and a total facade"
Well if you've never experienced them you can't exactly judge now can you? I'm in university have a great life and a great girlfriend and still smoke week occasionally, because I enjoy the experience. It's not about escaping anything, to me.
Using psychedelic drugs can be a life changing experience.... if you know how...sorry geriatric but I would take terence mackenna's thoughts on this one! respect your opinion but it is not as simple as what my parents think cause this my life and my body and there are ways to use drugs in a safely . I do believe though that it should be after the age of 18.
I do drugs i do coffee i did some beer and some wine Some drugs are of minor impact and we use them daily. The hefty ones makes users hooked and seem them unable to relinquish. Why we do - we want to improve, change perception - either to remove the sharp edges or add some. Plants and weeds are so old as human existance - always used in various ways, abused in various ways. In Relegious rites or used outside that frame.
You have no heart to say that.....think about it...you want to kill someone because a video! peter is a great man, very wise, and awesome. Dont like the video? Stop watching it.
I have the odd drink or fag at times, but I can say i'm no way addicted and I wont ruin my life buy smoking up to 40 fags a day and have god knows how many pints.
I'm only 15 and i've still got exams, job applications, and possibly a wedding coming up so i'm going to go well easy on smoking and drinking.
Serous so many people smoke at my school it might as well be legal people carry it around in their pockets and sell it at lunch. I might try it once just for the experience and so peer pressure won't bother me becuase I can just say ie already tried it and I won't be lying...
It's good the way he carefully puts the question back so that people need to think for themselves - we are all responsible for our own actions - after a certain age. "Society: is involved but that is larger question. he is like a kind and wise old grandpa -and I am 60 myself!
I steered clear of illegal drugs in my life. From my experience people are largely better off for not using drugs or alcohol at all. BUT if I lecture I will not do any good! Good lesson from geriatric!
i dont think its anyones biz if they do drugs or not or drink or not to prosecute someone for harming them self is retarded. and im taliking on an individual bases not this bullshit about users funding terrorist and shit.

Even if it's just weed, smoking everyday will stagnate you and you will be less productive in life, but you will be happy..but if you try to quit you'll get depressed.
Everything you do, be careful about doing it too much, addictions are dangerous, because they mean you will lose selfcontrol.
i dont see why people insult this guy he is amazing youtube was not designed for utter jokers to go on and insult people who actualy have a degree of intelgance and want to help people does it matter waht age someone is no what matters is how much they contibute and i bet this guy has done much more for people than most of us coudl dream to so show him and everyone who post's serious vidoes respect dont like them dont watch them not rocket science. Great video geriatric1927 =)
I have to disagree with you politely, Geriatric 1927.
One lower class drug, namely marijuana, has actually been shown in recent studys to not lead to more dangerous drugs. Also, they have been shown not to cause any perminant damage to your brain, as well as having no connection to cancer.
Prohibition on the other hand, locks people up simply because of what they choose to put in their bodys and destroys almost a million lives yearly. It is a war on the people, and has not detered anyone.
I'm an 18 year old student who is often subjected to a drug taking environment. Most of my friends take or have tried some serious drugs, mostly at parties... I to this day have never given in to the pressure I'm sometimes under (even when under the influence of alcohol). I have no desire to do so, even when I am at a party and EVERYONE else is taking some kind of drug. It's really a question of your will-power and determination to be in control. I think most of my friends respect me for it.
its really a matter of how young they are i have had people torn up on that stuff my whole life around me so i just looked at them and saw how messed up it makes you

H.W. bush brought them into u.s. and now ireland. russia is blaming drug use there on the U.S. our CIA thinks they are serving our gov. for the good of what.
mom used to say of all peer pressure etc. "like crabs crawling on each other trying to get out." something to consider. drug users dont want to do drugs they do what was done to them, passing it along to others. all comes from adults in the first place. you tell them your right.
When considering who should have the final say: keep in mind that heavy alcohol, drug use, regardless of age, is often the symptom of something much worse.
This presents a few problems. If we say that heavy use of mind altering substances is normally found during periods of great emotional stress, then you cannot always be sure that parents or kids will be capable of making accurate judgments concerning the safety of themselves or their progeny. Checks and balances break down here.
Not all drugs will get you hooked or lead to sudden death. I am slightly stoned as I write this, I've actually been following geriatric1927 since he first started vlogging. The drug classes mean nothing, what is ketamine doing in Class C? - Peace. Afghanja
Well whew! lol Kris. One question however. Where are all those 'flashbacks' they promised me. I feel I was misled. Drugs hmm. If the Grateful Dead were still following me I'd say your choice, but you could do worse. Now? Nah.. just grow your hair cut your job, and just get outside. Spend as much time as you can in a tent somewhere where the climate suits yer clothes. Peas and Love to you hippies, squares, narcs, and see ya!!!
I thnik its hypocritical to drink beer and condemn cannabis, I don't think drugs should be banned. They should be legal and regulated (like alcohol), but people should know the damage they are doing to themselves (and sometimes to others) when they take drugs, and that goes for alcohol and nicotine cand caffine too. Even chocolate will kill you if you have too much, and it's addictive too.
SO to sum up, all drugs have negative effects, theres no argument there, most cause some sort of mental problem, and chemical drugs, rot flesh away, there is no completely safe way to take powders. But the same can be said for 'legal drugs'. I think natural drugs, canabis & musgrooms are less (but still) harmfull, to the body, but the whole mushroom/hallucination thing, dose mean you can lose controll.
thus giving you manic drperession for the rest of your life. Speed ruins your teeth nose etc as dose cocaine, wich is far to expensive for the result, its ok but not worth what is cost.
What advice would I give anyone based on my experience.... well, Cannabis is no worse than smoking ciggaretts and drinking alcohol, I think being 'stoned' is far prefferable to being drunk. Alcohol makes you loud and obnoxious and (some poeple) Violent, Cannabis makes you feel euphoric, and lazy, and ofter prolonged use, depressed. But alcohol addiction is far worse. prolonged use of ecstacy will use up all you natural supply of seretonin,
your a fuckikng idiot... it is proven that smoking one Jay is equal to smoking about ten pakcs of smokes... but that hasn't stopped me from smokin the ganj !
In the early 20th century (1920's I think but I may be wrong)The british government decided to make make cannabis illegal and to put a tax on alcohol. But they could have just as easily have gone the other direction if you see what I mean, thus making beer socailly unaceptable, and alcole drinkers would be the 'druggies' of society.
At the end of the day we have legal drugs (alcohol, nicotine, caffine etc) and illegal drugs, cannabis, ecstasy, speed, cocain etc
All are addictive, and all have various side effects. People may say that cannabis is not addictive, but I want to give it up, but I find it very hard to give up.
I've tried quite a few drugs, however most were dissapointing or un-impressive. You are not necessarily out of controll of your own actions. Most drugs are un-inhibiters (if thats the correct word) so you may behave a little differently, but it takes a very strong dose of something for you to be completely out of your own controll.
Your'e right about it being the individuals choice. But there isn't a great deal a parent can do other than to give acurate information. If a teenager is rebellious enough to try drugs, then a parent telling him/her not to will have no effect. And if a kid isn't that rebellious. They don't need telling.
i appreciated your response and thoughtful dialog concerning teenagers and drugs. it is helpful to have someone's example such as yourself to learn from when adressing such questions. i know i will keep in mind some of the points you presented when i am called on for advice about drug use. thank you ... your contributions via video are an appreciated and valued resource.

I depise the way people attack at drugs as the worst thing ever such as justgeifaname's comment.
I think drugs are portrayed too much in a bad light by the media, teachers and others older than you. I'd like to hear any argument against the use of drugs because i have a few to fight back. Especially for the use of Cannabis.
my sister studies adiktology, wich cares about drugs and addictions and I may say only what I know from her. I dont know a lot about "harder" drugs, but cannabis, or marihuana may start or get worse some mind problems (i dont know if its right word, i mean schizophreny and so on...), astma, problem s with heart and so on. i dont know a lot about this, you should ask some specialist.
We really do need to listen to the wisdom of our elders although Geriatric1927 has not directly dispensed any, but certainly his questions are important ones. I am the only one in my circle of friends who did not experiment and am the only one who life has not been derailed. I am in my 30s. I am very thankful.

kids cant make thier own choices when thier minds are polluted with the expetency of others. Celebs for instance. Many children and teenagers will think celebs are the most important people in the world, therefore they must copy them.
People cannot make thier own choices when thier own "choices" are ACTUALLY the choices of other, more responsible people.
I agree with a previous post; good video about teens & drugs without being imposing or patronizing. I personally feel that drugs & addiction are poorly understood. My husband (former addict) is involved in harm-reduction & drug counseling & there's so many things that we could be doing that would make sense & be effective as far as policy goes, but lawmakers seem too ignorant to ever consider something that would work. It's frustrating & sad.
I think people should have a choice as to what they put in their body. The problem is the law which criminalizes people for having a health problem. Drug use should be dealt with by offering help, not locking people up. When drugs were made illegal it created dealers, gangs & a black market (think Capone, prohibition). There are just as many people doing drugs now as there were when drugs were legal, only now we waste billions on an ineffective, racist, & damaging, drug war.
i have so much respect for you, geriatric. please never stop with your videos! :D

Alcohol is a drug - that kills 75000 people a year.
Marijuana has never killed 1 person in recorded history.

H.W. bush brought them into u.s. and now ireland. russia is blaming drug use there on the U.S. our CIA thinks they are serving our gov. for the good of what.
mom used to say of all peer pressure etc. "like crabs crawling on each other trying to get out." something to consider. drug users dont want to do drugs they do what was done to them, passing it along to others. all comes from adults in the first place. you tell them your right.

When considering who should have the final say: keep in mind that heavy alcohol, drug use, regardless of age, is often the symptom of something much worse.
This presents a few problems. If we say that heavy use of mind altering substances is normally found during periods of great emotional stress, then you cannot always be sure that parents or kids will be capable of making accurate judgments concerning the safety of themselves or their progeny. Checks and balances break down here.

I thnik its hypocritical to drink beer and condemn cannabis, I don't think drugs should be banned. They should be legal and regulated (like alcohol), but people should know the damage they are doing to themselves (and sometimes to others) when they take drugs, and that goes for alcohol and nicotine cand caffine too. Even chocolate will kill you if you have too much, and it's addictive too.
KrisWales3 4 years ago
SO to sum up, all drugs have negative effects, theres no argument there, most cause some sort of mental problem, and chemical drugs, rot flesh away, there is no completely safe way to take powders. But the same can be said for 'legal drugs'. I think natural drugs, canabis & musgrooms are less (but still) harmfull, to the body, but the whole mushroom/hallucination thing, dose mean you can lose controll.

What advice would I give anyone based on my experience.... well, Cannabis is no worse than smoking ciggaretts and drinking alcohol, I think being 'stoned' is far prefferable to being drunk. Alcohol makes you loud and obnoxious and (some poeple) Violent, Cannabis makes you feel euphoric, and lazy, and ofter prolonged use, depressed. But alcohol addiction is far worse. prolonged use of ecstacy will use up all you natural supply of seretonin,

In the early 20th century (1920's I think but I may be wrong)The british government decided to make make cannabis illegal and to put a tax on alcohol. But they could have just as easily have gone the other direction if you see what I mean, thus making beer socailly unaceptable, and alcole drinkers would be the 'druggies' of society.
KrisWales3 4 years ago
At the end of the day we have legal drugs (alcohol, nicotine, caffine etc) and illegal drugs, cannabis, ecstasy, speed, cocain etc
All are addictive, and all have various side effects. People may say that cannabis is not addictive, but I want to give it up, but I find it very hard to give up.
KrisWales3 4 years ago
I've tried quite a few drugs, however most were dissapointing or un-impressive. You are not necessarily out of controll of your own actions. Most drugs are un-inhibiters (if thats the correct word) so you may behave a little differently, but it takes a very strong dose of something for you to be completely out of your own controll.
KrisWales3 4 years ago
Your'e right about it being the individuals choice. But there isn't a great deal a parent can do other than to give acurate information. If a teenager is rebellious enough to try drugs, then a parent telling him/her not to will have no effect. And if a kid isn't that rebellious. They don't need telling.

I depise the way people attack at drugs as the worst thing ever such as justgeifaname's comment.
I think drugs are portrayed too much in a bad light by the media, teachers and others older than you. I'd like to hear any argument against the use of drugs because i have a few to fight back. Especially for the use of Cannabis.

kids cant make thier own choices when thier minds are polluted with the expetency of others. Celebs for instance. Many children and teenagers will think celebs are the most important people in the world, therefore they must copy them.
People cannot make thier own choices when thier own "choices" are ACTUALLY the choices of other, more responsible people.

I agree with a previous post; good video about teens & drugs without being imposing or patronizing. I personally feel that drugs & addiction are poorly understood. My husband (former addict) is involved in harm-reduction & drug counseling & there's so many things that we could be doing that would make sense & be effective as far as policy goes, but lawmakers seem too ignorant to ever consider something that would work. It's frustrating & sad.

I think people should have a choice as to what they put in their body. The problem is the law which criminalizes people for having a health problem. Drug use should be dealt with by offering help, not locking people up. When drugs were made illegal it created dealers, gangs & a black market (think Capone, prohibition). There are just as many people doing drugs now as there were when drugs were legal, only now we waste billions on an ineffective, racist, & damaging, drug war.
