If I had to choose between smoking weed or drinking alcohol "Which is also a perfect and very very safe drug" hence why its legal..
I would still smoke weed. Why? cos you cant overdose on it.
And then people start talking bout the side affects which again are not life threating, nor are they 100% correct about the link it has with the side affect. But its ok I can get prescribed drugs over the counter with side effects such as ass piss, and vomiting but thats ok cos they are government funded
I'm a pothead and I am an Honors student and I am also in the top 10 of my class this year. I also have a habit of cleaning my room when I get stoned. The governments brain washing Propagada is 100% wrong.
i still wanna fuck this black girl....btw marijuana does make u lazy, ive talked to pot heads about it many times,. theres a price to pay for euphoria
How would you know if you've never done it, and have only talked to people about it?
For instance, the person above says that he cleans his room when he's high. Me, on the other hand, I will usually run around and play with my cat, or go for a walk.
My apartment is usually a mess, and I am generally not willing to clean it, but this started way before I started smoking. I've had a messy environment ever since I was five. Why would pot change that?
@tubeporn40plus go masturbate you ignorant ass brainwashed racist bastard! Research canibus then talk! U dont know shit only what your're told dumbass!
I don't understand why are they defending an illegal drug. of course it has to be a black chick. Smh. you're still inhaling SMOKE into your lung tissue. How is this good? Answer that. The drugs alter you're thinking. How is this good. Kick rocks and suck ass with this video.
@malgrava Oh yeah, like YOU really care about medical marijuana. Sheesh. It is comments like these and people like you that make me more against marijuana than ever. You casual pot smokers don't care two hoots about any medical problems. You just want your little "buzz". Grow up and set an example. Didn'tyour parents teach you not to use drugs?? And that means alcohol, too, which is also a drug.
What is nice about the people for cannabis is that they can actually rely on non biased studies about cannabis and not simply fair like the government.
With all the medical studies that have been done, I'm surprised that there's people in the world who still think that marijuana has no medical value and is simply a drug.
VOTE for Ron Paul (Republican) 2012. He is the only candidate be it Democrat or Republican with common sense. He has openly stated that legalization is the way to go! Additionally, he is the only one with a clear plan on saving our corrupt government and bankrupt country... SCREW OBAMA- voted for him and regret it!
Marijuana causes violence is addictive and kills brain cells. Every pot smoker should be in prison for life! Plus its illegal. And its worse than crack because people think its OK. Jail time!
@slapshot1x i seriously hope you are joking right now. You are the ignorant people that make it illegal for the rights for cannabis users. As for the violence it causes in which some cases it does but on the dealers behalf and majority of the time its because they are selling other drugs like cocaine, crack, heroin, meth (the Real KILLERS) it is public FACT that marijuana does not kill a single SOUL the average yearly deaths caused from alcohol reach in to the hundreds of thousands
@slapshot1x tobacco same thing hundreds of thousands. Even pharmaceutical drugs kill more people than marijuana you say drug and i say medicine. It is a medical cure for pain in cancer patients, people with chronic pain that dont want to be strung up on prescription pain killers, so im sorry but you need to look up on the internet in which you have and get your facts straight before you come attacking us look at yourself and tell me why your so all high and mighty?
@NeonLemonsTV yea with some things it helps to be blazed. i remember always nailing filosophy classes when i was high. not math though, as i have dyscalculia so math is like 50 times as confusing when im high lol
@Spyke2789 yeah it does. But the affects are not very big ones at that and they are very short lived. Im not quite sure how much use is needed, but smoking weed also causes impotency in sperm temporarily.
"The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this." -Albert Einstein, My First Impression of the U.S.A., 1921
andalso I felt the strong ''urge'' to smoke. Now I have taken oxycodone since I stopped using marijuana. And it is nothing like the urge to use oxy. Completely different ball field.
IMO, the whole marijuana debate comes down to this. It isn't right for a alcohol (a mind altering substance) to be legal and marijuana to be illegal. By making it illegal you are funding Cartels that do things Hannibal wouldn't do.
But.. MARIJUANA HAS BEEN PROVEN TO NUMB BRAIN CELLS. Do not believe everything
I was going to stop ripping on you, and then I saw that you also posted this "MARIJUANA HAS BEEN PROVEN TO NUMB BRAIN CELLS". You sir, are either a troll or an ignoramus. Please link the study where they conclude that marijuana "numbs" brain cells. I know that you won't because no such study exists.
I am a pro marijuana person all the way, but I disagree with the statement that marijuana doesn't inhibit brain performance. I started smoking when I was 16 years old. From the day I started smoking until the day I quit, I was easily smoking 5-10g a day. I have no doubt in my mind that marijuana made me academically ''stupider'' as you could say. Anybody who wants to say marijuana doesn't cause withdrawals. BULLSHIT. The first 2 weeks were hell. Insomnia, Extremem night sweats, cnt...
Please don't smoke marijuana or tell anyone that you smoked it. You are what we call an abuser and you make responsible marijuana smokers look bad. 5-10 grams per day? Are you serious? Please think about the cause, and detach yourself from anything that ties you with marijuana. You are hurting the cause more than helping it by abusing the drug, creating problems in you OWN LIFE, and then posting messages trying to generalize your irresponsible use to all marijuana users.
Are you kidding me? I am a regular smoker and YES it does cause you to feel less motivated.... if only simple due of the fact that you would rather smoke weed than do something else productive
@OrganicPanicMOB Well thats good for you that you are able to manage your time. I am an everyday smoker...about to graduate with my bachelor's and the Univeristy of Oregon. However if i never smoked weed...there is no doubt I would be a better student. Everyone is different of course....but there is no denying that marijuana has a mellowing effect...can make you lethargic and tired if done too much. If you use it in moderation than you can overcome these effects.
@MrMan2585 really so youve never walked 10 miles or played hackey sack stoned god damn i wouldent smoke with you then ive walked 10 miles stoned and a i play hack (hackey sack) all the time when high its fun
Go to NORML.com to sign a petition to end marijuana prohibition!
We the people want to know when we can have our “perfectly legitimate” discussion on marijuana legalization. Marijuana prohibition has resulted in the arrest of over 20 million Americans since 1965, countless lives ruined and hundreds of billions of tax dollars squandered and yet this policy has still failed to achieve its stated goals... GO TO NORML.COM FOR MORE INFO
speak truth sista...weed make u meditate increase awareness and helps u kick ass in call of duty...(coming from a 18 year old pothead who smoked 4 4years)
love marijuana but sheet, it kinda is a gateway drug i mean fuck it kinda puts other drugs out there for you easier. and i get lazy as fuck. that 1000 word essay aint lookin so hot if im lit as fuck i think id rather catch some beauty sleep
@surfhawaii08 There is no inherit property of marijuana that makes one person decide to do other drugs. It's the person making that choice. Weed doesn't control you.
The only people that watch these videos are people who already know. Do you think someone who thinks pot is bad is going to click on this, no. We need to spread these videos around!
@BoredomPie What is WRONG with you?? Most people who praise medical marijuana don't care two hoots about any cancer patients, etc. All they care about is their "buzz". That is terrible. A grown adult should be WELL PAST the age where they want to use a mind-altering drug like marijuana or alcohol to relax and unwind, enjoy life, get "buzzed", etc. People need to grow up and set an example!
@BoredomPie And then people use the excuse that "pot is safer than alcohol." Oh brother. Well we shouldn't smoke pot OR drink alcohol! How hard is THAT?? And then people say, "Well I have a good job and family and education and own 14 businesses and I smoke pot!" as if that makes it okay!! that makes it WORSE!! Because they of ALL people should know better! They set a terrible example and go against everything most parents try to teach their kids about drugs and life!!
@BoredomPie And you think that if you get busted, a judge will care if you have a college degree or get good grades or have cute kids or own 14 businesses? NO! Where I live, you are just a number in the court room. Marijuana is ILLEGAL. But even if it were legal, it doesn't make it right to use it!! And where do these people even FIND marijuana?? I wouldn't know where to get it if I tried! Who are they that they think they're above the law??
@BoredomPie So anyway, as I've said a million times, medical marijuana is one thing, but as far as casual smokers, that is just ridiuclous. People need to grow up and set an example. And I suppose I'll be cussed out and called all kinds of names and be told to do horrible, disgusting things with my husband, etc. just because I dared speak up against marijuana here. It never fails. I never used to be so against marijuana until I started talking to pot smokers online.
@BoredomPie And even the "nice" pot smokers are horrible. They act like because they have a good job and education, etc. that it makes it okay for THEM to break the law, light up a joint, and get "buzzed". As I've said a million times, that makes it WORSE!!! Didn't their parents teach them any better than this?? Grow up and get some morals and values and common sense!! But no, they just put me down, call me ignorant, tell me to do "research", etc. The same stuff over and over.
It's ignorant to say that it lacks the many medical applications it does have, especially if you extract the phytocannabinoids from the plant to make an oil with. According to the European Journal of Psychiatry 2009, CBD(A phytocannabinoid that gives you the "body buzz") was compared with amisulpride(standard drug used for schizophrenia) in treatment for schizophrenics. They both treated the schizos almost equally, but CBD didn't have as many side effects compared to amisulpride :D
Also someone who is under the influence of Cannabis is less likely to drive because of the certain way it works on the cognition. One under the influence is more than aware of the ramifications and will in fact decline to drive. There are exceptions to everything and every person. But the Govs campaign to compare it to opiates is like comparing a cup of coffee to a line of Cocaine. It's rediculous and needs to stop. They should put their efforts into eliminating Cystal Meth.
@LadyStonecut Wow, the Traffic Injuries and Prevention Journal 2008 literally stated what you just said, "The negative physical effects of cannabis may reduce the likelihood of driving under the influence of cannabis." Do you check out the journals from the U.S. National Library of Medicine on a daily basis or something?
@zekdom I read a lot of interesting things, but not that. LOL Most of us have the power of critical observation and analysis. Sadly, people now depend on the"experts" to tell them everything when the real evidence is right in front of them. We all have the power to discern the truth if we would only listen to the inner voice and not the external ones that are there to confuse and program us.
@LadyStonecut Oh, alright then :). Sometimes, people are given terrible examples of pot smokers, and that's when it takes an "expert" to inform them that it's not like that for everyone. That's why studies can be helpful, because the study presents individuals that use the substance in question. That's when people realize that there's more to it than what they see. The media is a hindrance, though. I'll agree to that!
If you have Netflix, watch the movie The Union: The Business Behind Getting High. It is a very well made documentary with logical people who have done research and who have very solid arguments against the war on Marijuana. To deny these arguments is completely illogical. Watch the movie before replying to this comment. I'm not a thumbs up hoe. i just want people to use their brains and actually think. Post this to other videos and give this movie the recognition it deserves. Thumbs up please.
Lifes too short to not enjoy everything. Live life the way you want to live it and dont give a fuck about haters brah! Its nice to get high and chill, especially with music.
LOL, everyone's only defense is that other drugs are worse. This doesn't mean marijuana isn't bad for you. You people who think smoking weed is cool, you're all idiots. Slow and lazy and ramble about nothing. Now I'll get 1,000 comments against me saying i'm the loser, and how its even possible they can defend marijuana.
@hitmancooks123 you are brainless. the only cannabis users to be diagnosed with lung cancer smoked cigarettes as well. hmm, i wonder what it was from? and ive smoked weed everyday for years, why dont i have cancer?
@Nigganoteventryin dont be a dumbass buddy... I know a shit load of ppl that smoke every day that doesn't have cancer... doesnt mean it doesnt cause cancer because you dont have it dont be a moron
@KreatorRage Agree smoke when you're in college lol4. my cousin died while high in a car 2. I've beat plenty of high peoples ass on the street, pretty sure its not just me 6. fuck the police I agree, fuck them until they fuck you. 1 I google lung cancer and weed and shit. weed doesn't cause lung cancer, but it does cause a shit ton of tar and it cause bronchitis. this can be cure though. aparently weed smoke is the only smoke that doesn't cause lung cancer it can acutally help to prevent lung it
@granpafuzzyballs69 ok my girlfriends grandma been smoking for 75 years and she 90 and does't have cancer, but her mom has been smoking for 20 years and does. cancer is random stupid but smoke increases your risk. oh yeah my girlfriend mom still smokes some ppl never learn. dont' be a dumbass and say oh i know someone that smoke and they don't have cancer so I wont either. you can smoke and be cool all you want but its not cool to watch your fucking parents die.
@hitmancooks123 did i say im cool ? no. ur a dumb fuck this all nothing to do with weed. its called 2nd hand smoke from cigarettes etc. not weed read all of the other comments to u and maybe watch the video too and i kno. a person i kno that never smoked cigarettes in their life and got cancer from 2nd hand smoke and i prob will too from 2nd hand from CIGS NOT WEED
I don't smoke anymore myself but if we're going to be serious here it's absolutely ridiculous that marijuana is still illegal A: because alcohol and cigarettes aren't and B: because the gov't should have no say on the issue in the first place. People who don't accept this simple position usually have a hard time making a case for their views without using tired fundamentalist McCarthy Era Jargon that really doesn't mean anything. On a more important note, Nydia, I think I'm in love with you.
According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health 2006-2009, sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administrations, there are more marijuana users than any other illicit drug user combined. The number of pot users went from 14.8 million to 16.7 million during that 3 year period. While use of all other illicit drugs actually decreased from 5.6 million to 5.1 million. If marijuana were a true gateway, then the numbers would be more balanced.
All u faggots against Mary Jane are fucking stupid douche bag cunts...paracetamol is a drug take it too much and over time go check your liver, not liking it doesn't mean u shud condemn it cos it's fucking great I tell you...check out Jeff bridges, snoop dogg and the fucking American president.

"At present it is estimated that marijuana's LD-50 is around 1:20,000 or 1:40,000. In layman terms this means that in order to induce death a marijuana smoker would have to consume 20,000 to 40,000 times as
much marijuana as is contained in one marijuana cigarette.............. A smoker would theoretically have to consume nearly 1,500 pounds of marijuana within about fifteen minutes to induce a lethal response."
@hewhofartsoften first off, nice name I like it. Second ya we get it, pregnant women should not smoke cannabis, but these facts remain true. Cannabis is a 100% all natural non toxic medicinal plant SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO INHIBIT CANCER CELL GROWTH. annual deaths from tobacco: 400,000 deaths from cannabis since human existence: 0
Just recently my brother, a youth of fourteen, died after an overdose. He was invited to a gathering with his "friends". They peer pressured him into smoking a full pack of marijuana cigarettes. His heart stopped after he ingested over three times the lethal amount of THC. His "friends", intoxicated no doubt, refused to contact authorities from fear of reprisal.
I don't expect you to believe me with the propaganda about marijuana being safe out there, but know this illicit drug killed my bother
@meric2........."Just recently my brother, a youth of fourteen, died after an overdose."
Hey.... DINGDONG..... you should tell the authorities about that one cause it`s the first case in history........there is NO LETHAL DOSE FOR CANNABIS......LD rating is 50
Which means that if your "brother" could smoke 1500 in J`s in 20 min joints he MIGHT die.
Your "brother" smoked somethings else.........not cannabis
Of course, you stoners mindlessly believe the propaganda about how safe cannabis is. Just know this, if it weren't for people like you insisting this drug were totally safe, another human being would be alive today. You should be ashamed of yourself. You belong in jail, with the rest of the detribus.
@meric2 "Just know this, if it weren't for people like you insisting this drug were totally safe, another human being would be alive today."
Produce a link to a CORONERS REPORT, not a MEDIA report, not a POLICE report, with the cause of death as cannabis overdose.............or sit down and STFU.
@meric2 You are such an obvious troll. You clearly don't know the definition of "propaganda" when you think that's what proven medical studies are. Pot smokers belonging in jail my ass. Just get the fuck off you troll.
liar! you can die from marijuana. my friend stabed himself with a thick stem across his heart.........in other words only a dumbass can die from marijuana ;) keep toking.
Everybody in Mexico smokes marijuana, ever seen them mother fuckers work? That's all my dad will hire for his construction job. And they say marijuana makes you lazy ? Only the paid actors on that "Above the influence" shit get lazy from smoking maryjane.
As a result of such research, a synthetic THC drug, Marinol, has been available to the public since 1985. The Food and Drug Administration has determined that Marinol is safe, effective, and has therapeutic benefits for use as a treatment for nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy, and as a treatment of weight loss in patients with AIDS. However, it does not produce the harmful health effects associated with smoking marijuana.
Marijuana is the essence of humanity be it spiritual, recreational, creative, personal, medical, and social aspects. Bring us the healing of the nation. The day everyone smokes dope is the day we'd actually be unified as a people. yeah you would get lazy selfish people that smoke weed all the time but they will be left behind if they dont figure it out. Please honor the holy herb :)
@bornia7 I wish to take an approach to your comment without pointing out how pretentious you sound, but that would almost be impossible to ignore.
Marijuana is just a plant. Marijuana impinges on the central nervous system by attaching to brain's neurons and interfering with normal communication between the neurons. These nerves respond by altering their initial behavior. It's nothing more than a crutch. IMO, it's pathetic.
>The holy herb
Do you realize how idiotic you sound? How shameful.
You have your facts wrong, sorry to say, but recent studies have shown through MRI's that Marijuana Does affect your brain in a very negative way...not only that,,,it affects your liver and heart due to that Cannabis receptors in these organs...PEOPLE , DON"T LET THIS VIDEO FOOL YOU.....I've smoked for 14 years, and its a dead end road. ...Life is better without drugs you don't NEED...You can have mystical experiences without drugs,,actually deeper ones. Save your money and brain cells....
@Mistahbonbon111 Ok, do some research on MRI studies and Mariuana usage....and you will see that it does leave holes in the brain...The study took a person who used on weekends for a 10 year period...and the scan showed huge sections of the brain that was basically shut down and void of activity...I bought the same jargon in thinking the dope was harmless, then I found FMRI studies which shows the FACTS...these machines are irrefutable in their findings. CHeck out MRI and Dope studies
@thevoicebeat I havent seen those studies. But in the 70s or 80s, the government used monkeys to test if you actually lost brain cells. The tests came back positive, but it wasn't because of the weed, it was because the scientists hooked gas masks onto the monkeys, and injected marijuana smoke for five straight minutes into the masks and due to the lack of oxygen, they lost brain cells.
@Mistahbonbon111 ...What I am finding is that pothead will look for any excuse to continue using , I know, I did it for a very long time. The studies in the 70's and 80's are messed up due to the fact that they are tested on other species...IN todays age, we have ways to look directly at the brain and body with MRI scanning. I just can't deny the truth anymore,,there comes a time when one has to look at the hard evidence, and It's just a waste of time and money..Believe me Mistahbonbon..
@thevoicebeat Apes are hardly a different species due to us sharing what is it, 98% of our genes with them? I think we might as well just legalize it. Theres no point in spending 7 billion dollars on it a year to enforce laws. The war on drugs isnt going anywhere and wont go anywhere. If we ban it, the dealers just get richer and richer. If we did legalize it, agriculture would go through the roof, Hemp would once again be legal which is banned for no reason. And we could use that money for good
Marijuana can be very beneficial and there have been many studies that have proven it doesn't permanently affect your brain, HOWEVER, this video only mentions the pros and not the cons. Just like coffee or soda, there are cons to marijuana as well when it comes to the brain and several studies have shown this (One study being a harvard one, google "Harvard Marijuana Cognitive" to read it). Does this mean it should be illegal? Hell no, just like coffee shouldn't be illegal. But there are cons.
What lies! So many people can't face the fact that pot is a dangerous drug. A very clear link has been shown b/t pot & schizophrenia. That is most certainly brain damage. & she is engaging a shifting of terms. "brain damage" implies a permanent injury. A temporary mind altering effect is certainly detrimental, especially if you do something like drive under this influence. Marijuana stays in your body several days. If someone uses every day, they are basically permanently high.
You are leaning too far to the right and she is leaning too far to the left. Marijuana is not a "dangerous drug", it's a herb like coffee. If you google "schizophrenia caffeine" you'll find plenty of studies making clear links between the two, but I bet you wouldn't be talking so passionately against coffee if that were the topic. Find some middle ground and be honest, don't be dishonest and leaning too far to one side like the people who made this video.
@OpinionatedJerk: I can find plenty of articles on connections b/t vaccines & autism. Lots of patently fallacious theories. The need to reject fallacious theories doesn't mean you should also reject valid theories. & FACTS aren't left wing or right wing, they are simply true. The People's Republic of China has harsh anti-drug laws, as does Saudi Arabia. The effects of caffeine are hardly comparable to pot. You can drive a car after a cup of coffee, don't try to drive after a joint.
I didn't say I reject the theories. My point is that while there may be some rare connection between the two that affects maybe 3 or 4 people on earth, it's not widespread enough to even be mentioned, just like we shouldn't go into a panic and make a big deal out of articles about coffee and schizophrenia. You can find a link between anything. I'm not disputing the link itself or the study, I'm disputing the significance of it. It's not even worth mentioning.
What does driving a car have to do with anything? You've obviously never smoked marijuana because you think it's a hallucinogenic or a central nervous system depressant like alcohol.While it does affect your driving and people shouldn't do it, it's nowhere near as debilitating as you are making it out to be, not any worse than driving after missing one night's sleep. You clearly have an axe to grind against marijuana and clearly lean to the right and with bias.
@OpinionatedJerk: Like dude, put the blunt down & sober up. I hate to totally kill your buzz, but you OBVIOUSLY have been affected by what you're smokin'. Learn to get high on life. Alcohol diminishes oxygen to the brain. It is MARIJUANA which is a hallucinogen. If you can't perceive reality right, especially in regards to time, so you can't react properly while driving, obviously you should never drive high. I alcohol leaves your body in a few hours, pot stays in your body for days.
You're only trying to claim that I'm high to discredit what I say. Everything you say is retarded. Marijuana is nowhere near as bad as natural stupidity and you were born with that. "Alcohol diminishes oxygen to the brain. It is marijuana which is a hallucinogen, alcohol leaves your obdy in a few hours, pot stays in your body for days". Dumbest statement of all time. Too dumb to be reasoned with. Brick wall with no common sense getting past it.
@OpinionatedJerk: I can clearly see the obvious FACT that you're a pot head b/c you say silly things like what you just said & yet are smug & convinced of your own intelligence. EVERYONE says pot is a hallucinogen, the canabinoids alter our perceptions b/c they act like neural transmitters. Thus their link to schizophrenia. Go look at the Wiki article on cannabis, especially the sections on "Effects" & Classifications." Also look up on how it gets into your fat & stays in your body for days.
If I was a pothead (still) then my first comment on this video wouldn't have disagreed with it. I don't pick a side and push lies because of bias. I called the woman in this video out for saying stupid shit, same as I called you out. I clearly have no bias towards one side and am only interested in truth, but you clearly are not and lean entirely to one side, one agenda. The statements you say that are true, have nothing to do with the statements you say which are false....
Everybody knows thc stays in your system. So do all types of nutrients and waste. That is not relevant to anything, especially not to it's classification as a hallucinogenic (or lack of classification as that). Irrelevant, but helps support the BS if you throw a fact in there. You try to make a point about pot and neurotransmitters, yet purposely avoid mentioning alcohol's effect on blocking them and disrupting their signals. One-sided, bias, agenda, without reasoning, brick wall
@OpinionatedJerk: That THC stays in your body (along w/ other canabinoids) is relevant to it chronic debilitating effects. It doesn't dissipate from your body in a few hours like alcohol will. You can literally remain atleast slightly stoned for days. A chronic user is literally high all the time. Very debilitating.
@VictorLepanto So I suppose the fact that some cannabanoids occur naturally in our bodies is just natures way of trying to debilitate us? I guess nature should have thought twice before it decided to use cannabanoids to fight cancerous and mutated cells, or to put it in our nervous systems. But what do I know, from what you say, I'm fried out of my mind right now.
@OpinionatedJerk: You feel that way b/c you are high. Lay off the weed for a few days, you'll recover you mental sharpness. I have only stated commonly known facts about what happens w/ pot.
My wife smokes pot and just pot. She has been pregnant for 8 months and once she found out she stopped just like that !! It is not addictive at all !!!! Alcohol is !!!! You can die from drinking it and stop drinking it , its advertised to kids and yet its legal cause the gov people drink this DRUG !! Anything they say about pot being bad can be said about alcohol 200% more
@Headshothorror4488 your wife's lucky as hell man, stimulation at cannabinoid receptors via an outside outside source during the embryonic stage of pregnancy has caused all matter of birth problems including miscarriage. alcohol's worse for you short and long term compared to pot(though I believe visual impairment is worse with pot) but that doesn't mean legalize it, if it becomes legal under the influence crimes will double at least, plus americans will only want something else.
Who said this cause scientist say nothing close. Crime will stop if pot is legal and alcohol is illegal !! Most people are drunk when doing a crime and that is fact !! Listen alcohol is proven MUCH worse then pot , even doc meds are worse so to keep a worse drug ( alcohol) and not pot is moronic and uneducated. Its no debate just facts, Alcohol is a drug and worse then pot, MUCH worse in every way, FACT. Also she DIDN'T smoke when pregnant cause it is not addictive which was the point
@Headshothorror4488 wow you know you're exactly like every other pro-marijuana person i've debated. before i dignify your jibberish with a response can i ask you a question? did i say alcohol was safer than weed? *hint* read my last comment.
@hewhofartsoften Everything i stated is FACT and this is no debate kid so dont bother writing back , It was me just stating obvious facts thats all. No disrespect but like i said facts are far from "gibberish" (the correct spelling)
@hewhofartsoften....."your wife's lucky as hell man, stimulation at cannabinoid receptors via an outside outside source during the embryonic stage of pregnancy has caused all matter of birth problems including miscarriage."
There is absolutely NO EVIDENCE for your above statement.
And in fact, the Federal Government is the owner of US Patent 6630507 “Cannabinoids as Antioxidants and Neuroprotectants” issued Oct 7 2003.
@Headshothorror4488 my aunt stopped drinking and had a seizure.She smoked marijuana to prevent it from happening again. Some people have to stop drinking gradually to prevent it.I also think it's funny they use to not to long ago pretty much advertise cigarettes to kids.I remember they use to sell fake bubble gum that came in a pack and was shaped like cigarettes and another kind of chalky shaped like cigarettes that came in a pack that tasted kind of like heart candy.
Is marijuana addictive or are there addictive personalities?
This is medicine and all medicine is powerful. But the most recent evidence shows that this plant is an invaluable medicine for people. I don't think we should deny people anything that will cure people of cancer, chronic pain, chemo sickness. Most of what is said is programmed paranoia. Alcohol is a far bigger problem and causes death. There is no proof that anyone had died from marijuana. People who steal will do it anyway.
@ApplesStudios Agreed. But for some, like myself, the benefits out weigh the side effects. I was able to stop several pharmaceutical drugs that were making me very ill. They were even changing my red blood cells.
I felt like the medicine was killing me. I am so much better now. If there was a study done on the side effects of Prescription medicine and how many people have died from them and the damage they do to other organs and compared that to Cannabis. Guess what they would find out?
@LadyStonecut Both, to a certain degree. You should watch "Marijuana: Silencing the Siren" here on Youtube, and that video discusses marijuana addiction compared to other drugs.
@zekdom I think that some medicines and drugs people develop a dependency more than addiction.
Having said that, it cannot be compared to the physical addiction of opiates and alcohol. Which are so potentially physically harmful and in some cases lethal. Alcohol and opiates have drastic effects on the liver and other organs.
I do believe people develop a dependency just as they do caffiene. Ever see someone stop drinking coffee after 30 years? Not pretty. But one can stop, no ill effects.
@LadyStonecut It has been compared, actually. The results may not surprise you, though. However, I still recommend that you watch it, and the links for the journals presented can be found in the video description.

And then people start talking bout the side affects which again are not life threating, nor are they 100% correct about the link it has with the side affect. But its ok I can get prescribed drugs over the counter with side effects such as ass piss, and vomiting but thats ok cos they are government funded

Having a tolerance to weed is bad. It reduces the oxygen flow to the brain. Thats why I try to keep a low tolerance.

How would you know if you've never done it, and have only talked to people about it?
For instance, the person above says that he cleans his room when he's high. Me, on the other hand, I will usually run around and play with my cat, or go for a walk.
My apartment is usually a mess, and I am generally not willing to clean it, but this started way before I started smoking. I've had a messy environment ever since I was five. Why would pot change that?

It's ignorant to say that it lacks the many medical applications it does have, especially if you extract the phytocannabinoids from the plant to make an oil with. According to the European Journal of Psychiatry 2009, CBD(A phytocannabinoid that gives you the "body buzz") was compared with amisulpride(standard drug used for schizophrenia) in treatment for schizophrenics. They both treated the schizos almost equally, but CBD didn't have as many side effects compared to amisulpride :D

Also someone who is under the influence of Cannabis is less likely to drive because of the certain way it works on the cognition. One under the influence is more than aware of the ramifications and will in fact decline to drive. There are exceptions to everything and every person.

Everybody in Mexico smokes marijuana, ever seen them mother fuckers work? That's all my dad will hire for his construction job. And they say marijuana makes you lazy ? Only the paid actors on that "Above the influence" shit get lazy from smoking maryjane.

As a result of such research, a synthetic THC drug, Marinol, has been available to the public since 1985. The Food and Drug Administration has determined that Marinol is safe, effective, and has therapeutic benefits for use as a treatment for nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy, and as a treatment of weight loss in patients with AIDS. However, it does not produce the harmful health effects associated with smoking marijuana.

Marijuana is the essence of humanity be it spiritual, recreational, creative, personal, medical, and social aspects. Bring us the healing of the nation. The day everyone smokes dope is the day we'd actually be unified as a people. yeah you would get lazy selfish people that smoke weed all the time but they will be left behind if they dont figure it out. Please honor the holy herb :)

@bornia7 I wish to take an approach to your comment without pointing out how pretentious you sound, but that would almost be impossible to ignore.
Marijuana is just a plant. Marijuana impinges on the central nervous system by attaching to brain's neurons and interfering with normal communication between the neurons. These nerves respond by altering their initial behavior. It's nothing more than a crutch. IMO, it's pathetic.
>The holy herb
Do you realize how idiotic you sound? How shameful.

You have your facts wrong, sorry to say, but recent studies have shown through MRI's that Marijuana Does affect your brain in a very negative way...not only that,,,it affects your liver and heart due to that Cannabis receptors in these organs...PEOPLE , DON"T LET THIS VIDEO FOOL YOU.....I've smoked for 14 years, and its a dead end road. ...Life is better without drugs you don't NEED...You can have mystical experiences without drugs,,actually deeper ones. Save your money and brain cells....

@Mistahbonbon111 Ok, do some research on MRI studies and Mariuana usage....and you will see that it does leave holes in the brain...The study took a person who used on weekends for a 10 year period...and the scan showed huge sections of the brain that was basically shut down and void of activity...I bought the same jargon in thinking the dope was harmless, then I found FMRI studies which shows the FACTS...these machines are irrefutable in their findings. CHeck out MRI and Dope studies
thevoicebeat 8 months ago
@thevoicebeat I havent seen those studies. But in the 70s or 80s, the government used monkeys to test if you actually lost brain cells. The tests came back positive, but it wasn't because of the weed, it was because the scientists hooked gas masks onto the monkeys, and injected marijuana smoke for five straight minutes into the masks and due to the lack of oxygen, they lost brain cells.

@Mistahbonbon111 ...What I am finding is that pothead will look for any excuse to continue using , I know, I did it for a very long time. The studies in the 70's and 80's are messed up due to the fact that they are tested on other species...IN todays age, we have ways to look directly at the brain and body with MRI scanning. I just can't deny the truth anymore,,there comes a time when one has to look at the hard evidence, and It's just a waste of time and money..Believe me Mistahbonbon..

@thevoicebeat Apes are hardly a different species due to us sharing what is it, 98% of our genes with them? I think we might as well just legalize it. Theres no point in spending 7 billion dollars on it a year to enforce laws. The war on drugs isnt going anywhere and wont go anywhere. If we ban it, the dealers just get richer and richer. If we did legalize it, agriculture would go through the roof, Hemp would once again be legal which is banned for no reason. And we could use that money for good

Marijuana can be very beneficial and there have been many studies that have proven it doesn't permanently affect your brain, HOWEVER, this video only mentions the pros and not the cons. Just like coffee or soda, there are cons to marijuana as well when it comes to the brain and several studies have shown this (One study being a harvard one, google "Harvard Marijuana Cognitive" to read it). Does this mean it should be illegal? Hell no, just like coffee shouldn't be illegal. But there are cons.

What lies! So many people can't face the fact that pot is a dangerous drug. A very clear link has been shown b/t pot & schizophrenia. That is most certainly brain damage. & she is engaging a shifting of terms. "brain damage" implies a permanent injury. A temporary mind altering effect is certainly detrimental, especially if you do something like drive under this influence. Marijuana stays in your body several days. If someone uses every day, they are basically permanently high.

@VictorLepanto
You are leaning too far to the right and she is leaning too far to the left. Marijuana is not a "dangerous drug", it's a herb like coffee. If you google "schizophrenia caffeine" you'll find plenty of studies making clear links between the two, but I bet you wouldn't be talking so passionately against coffee if that were the topic. Find some middle ground and be honest, don't be dishonest and leaning too far to one side like the people who made this video.

@OpinionatedJerk: I can find plenty of articles on connections b/t vaccines & autism. Lots of patently fallacious theories. The need to reject fallacious theories doesn't mean you should also reject valid theories. & FACTS aren't left wing or right wing, they are simply true. The People's Republic of China has harsh anti-drug laws, as does Saudi Arabia. The effects of caffeine are hardly comparable to pot. You can drive a car after a cup of coffee, don't try to drive after a joint.
VictorLepanto 9 months ago
@VictorLepanto
I didn't say I reject the theories. My point is that while there may be some rare connection between the two that affects maybe 3 or 4 people on earth, it's not widespread enough to even be mentioned, just like we shouldn't go into a panic and make a big deal out of articles about coffee and schizophrenia. You can find a link between anything. I'm not disputing the link itself or the study, I'm disputing the significance of it. It's not even worth mentioning.

@VictorLepanto
What does driving a car have to do with anything? You've obviously never smoked marijuana because you think it's a hallucinogenic or a central nervous system depressant like alcohol.While it does affect your driving and people shouldn't do it, it's nowhere near as debilitating as you are making it out to be, not any worse than driving after missing one night's sleep. You clearly have an axe to grind against marijuana and clearly lean to the right and with bias.

@OpinionatedJerk: Like dude, put the blunt down & sober up. I hate to totally kill your buzz, but you OBVIOUSLY have been affected by what you're smokin'. Learn to get high on life. Alcohol diminishes oxygen to the brain. It is MARIJUANA which is a hallucinogen. If you can't perceive reality right, especially in regards to time, so you can't react properly while driving, obviously you should never drive high. I alcohol leaves your body in a few hours, pot stays in your body for days.

You're only trying to claim that I'm high to discredit what I say. Everything you say is retarded. Marijuana is nowhere near as bad as natural stupidity and you were born with that. "Alcohol diminishes oxygen to the brain. It is marijuana which is a hallucinogen, alcohol leaves your obdy in a few hours, pot stays in your body for days". Dumbest statement of all time. Too dumb to be reasoned with. Brick wall with no common sense getting past it.

@OpinionatedJerk: I can clearly see the obvious FACT that you're a pot head b/c you say silly things like what you just said & yet are smug & convinced of your own intelligence. EVERYONE says pot is a hallucinogen, the canabinoids alter our perceptions b/c they act like neural transmitters. Thus their link to schizophrenia. Go look at the Wiki article on cannabis, especially the sections on "Effects" & Classifications." Also look up on how it gets into your fat & stays in your body for days.

If I was a pothead (still) then my first comment on this video wouldn't have disagreed with it. I don't pick a side and push lies because of bias. I called the woman in this video out for saying stupid shit, same as I called you out. I clearly have no bias towards one side and am only interested in truth, but you clearly are not and lean entirely to one side, one agenda. The statements you say that are true, have nothing to do with the statements you say which are false....

Everybody knows thc stays in your system. So do all types of nutrients and waste. That is not relevant to anything, especially not to it's classification as a hallucinogenic (or lack of classification as that). Irrelevant, but helps support the BS if you throw a fact in there. You try to make a point about pot and neurotransmitters, yet purposely avoid mentioning alcohol's effect on blocking them and disrupting their signals. One-sided, bias, agenda, without reasoning, brick wall
OpinionatedJerk 8 months ago
@OpinionatedJerk: That THC stays in your body (along w/ other canabinoids) is relevant to it chronic debilitating effects. It doesn't dissipate from your body in a few hours like alcohol will. You can literally remain atleast slightly stoned for days. A chronic user is literally high all the time. Very debilitating.
VictorLepanto 8 months ago
@VictorLepanto So I suppose the fact that some cannabanoids occur naturally in our bodies is just natures way of trying to debilitate us? I guess nature should have thought twice before it decided to use cannabanoids to fight cancerous and mutated cells, or to put it in our nervous systems. But what do I know, from what you say, I'm fried out of my mind right now.

My wife smokes pot and just pot. She has been pregnant for 8 months and once she found out she stopped just like that !! It is not addictive at all !!!! Alcohol is !!!! You can die from drinking it and stop drinking it , its advertised to kids and yet its legal cause the gov people drink this DRUG !! Anything they say about pot being bad can be said about alcohol 200% more

@Headshothorror4488 your wife's lucky as hell man, stimulation at cannabinoid receptors via an outside outside source during the embryonic stage of pregnancy has caused all matter of birth problems including miscarriage. alcohol's worse for you short and long term compared to pot(though I believe visual impairment is worse with pot) but that doesn't mean legalize it, if it becomes legal under the influence crimes will double at least, plus americans will only want something else.

Who said this cause scientist say nothing close. Crime will stop if pot is legal and alcohol is illegal !! Most people are drunk when doing a crime and that is fact !! Listen alcohol is proven MUCH worse then pot , even doc meds are worse so to keep a worse drug ( alcohol) and not pot is moronic and uneducated. Its no debate just facts, Alcohol is a drug and worse then pot, MUCH worse in every way, FACT. Also she DIDN'T smoke when pregnant cause it is not addictive which was the point

@Headshothorror4488 wow you know you're exactly like every other pro-marijuana person i've debated. before i dignify your jibberish with a response can i ask you a question? did i say alcohol was safer than weed? *hint* read my last comment.

@hewhofartsoften....."your wife's lucky as hell man, stimulation at cannabinoid receptors via an outside outside source during the embryonic stage of pregnancy has caused all matter of birth problems including miscarriage."
There is absolutely NO EVIDENCE for your above statement.
And in fact, the Federal Government is the owner of US Patent 6630507 “Cannabinoids as Antioxidants and Neuroprotectants” issued Oct 7 2003.
CANNABIS IS NOT A CARCINOGENIC SUBSTANCE.

@Headshothorror4488 my aunt stopped drinking and had a seizure.She smoked marijuana to prevent it from happening again. Some people have to stop drinking gradually to prevent it.I also think it's funny they use to not to long ago pretty much advertise cigarettes to kids.I remember they use to sell fake bubble gum that came in a pack and was shaped like cigarettes and another kind of chalky shaped like cigarettes that came in a pack that tasted kind of like heart candy.

Is marijuana addictive or are there addictive personalities?
This is medicine and all medicine is powerful. But the most recent evidence shows that this plant is an invaluable medicine for people. I don't think we should deny people anything that will cure people of cancer, chronic pain, chemo sickness. Most of what is said is programmed paranoia. Alcohol is a far bigger problem and causes death. There is no proof that anyone had died from marijuana. People who steal will do it anyway.

@ApplesStudios Agreed. But for some, like myself, the benefits out weigh the side effects. I was able to stop several pharmaceutical drugs that were making me very ill. They were even changing my red blood cells.
I felt like the medicine was killing me. I am so much better now. If there was a study done on the side effects of Prescription medicine and how many people have died from them and the damage they do to other organs and compared that to Cannabis. Guess what they would find out?

@LadyStonecut Both, to a certain degree. You should watch "Marijuana: Silencing the Siren" here on Youtube, and that video discusses marijuana addiction compared to other drugs.
zekdom 6 months ago
@zekdom I think that some medicines and drugs people develop a dependency more than addiction.
Having said that, it cannot be compared to the physical addiction of opiates and alcohol. Which are so potentially physically harmful and in some cases lethal. Alcohol and opiates have drastic effects on the liver and other organs.
I do believe people develop a dependency just as they do caffiene. Ever see someone stop drinking coffee after 30 years? Not pretty. But one can stop, no ill effects.
LadyStonecut 6 months ago
@LadyStonecut It has been compared, actually. The results may not surprise you, though. However, I still recommend that you watch it, and the links for the journals presented can be found in the video description.
