History Channel (Hooked) - Marijuana; Part 5 of 5

[businessleo]

I vote we not only make marijuana legal, but make it such that if produced, is extremely high quality, such as: seeds must be purchased from specific vendors, if grown in the home, must be hydroponic, etc. If a brewery or distillery is located in the USA, it must be owned by a citizen, including the majority of stocks..........Lets get our money back

[LordGiff]

No 1 has ever died from the heavenly herb it could save the planet . (food ,medicine housing clothing any 1 who has there own plant will tell u it grows a lot faster than a tree and u can make paper with it saving the rain forest

cigarette an alcohol on the other hand 4k up your kidney & liver an make u impotent

i smoke a weed an am hung like a horse ask ur mam

son

[nickrod32]

they ban a plant which is not bad at all and is actually good for you and they swap it with meth? one of the most dangerous drugs......... government is pretty smart

[snigr]

What i dont understand is why tobacco is legal and marijuana is not, after everybody knowing how addictive (users use it Almost every hour)and poisnous nicotine is, can be even found in bug spray. smoked cigarette before and always feel horrible after it wears off,

[ctswright]

@snigr simple, politics and prejudice....there are many legal substances which are far more harmful, yet pot, one of the least harmful and the only one that has no evidence of physical dependence is still a schedule 1 drug along with heroine, LSD, and mdma. drug regulation came about through grassroots religious movements and politics. you'll be hard pressed to ever find a govt official who will not condemn pot cause no one wants to go against the grain and appear "soft" on drugs.

[snigr]

Still smoking marijuana and when i use it i feel happy Plus Food taste better (because am skinny and never feel likeeating anything) and life becomes even more worth living plus i can go for months without Using it.. It is a medicinal plant and even though i learned from this video, i hate the fact that they compared it to other drugs.

[lordtimbo]

It's impossible to have an intelligent conversation on this subject with a 500 character limit. Youtube knows it. Bottom line is that it doesn't matter how dangerous a drug is. education will help, laws don't. people will continue to take the drugs they believe they need. The real problem is not the drugs it's the reasons people have for thinking they need them.

[drpeppa2357]

Marijuana is a different drug, and until they take evidence and facts into consideration will just have to keep slapping the government over the head for making such a stupid call.

[fall0rn]

0:28

guy poppin that other guy on the ground = best!!

legalize meth!!!!!!!!!

[RougeTemplar]

Haha, if you only knew what the drug dealers like MS13 really put in it. Then you all would regret that you smoked weed. Irony's a bitch isn't she?????

[funkytown489]

omg tommy simpson why why did meth get to the simpsons???!#$@!

[dayvconsir]

It's called compare and contrast. Here is a drug that in several ways was the promoted drug of the rich and famous, makes you alert, productive, active. Then here is a drug used by the poor to escape their dirty lowly life. Just promotes the one prejudice I often feel justified to have. Prejudice toward the rich and powerful.

[darkstarsony101]

i love weed. need i say more?

[JayDawg211]

what the fuck...it goes from MJ to meth wtf complete bullshit idc tho LEGALIZE MJ...haha im smokin some right now as i speak

[EasytownGirl]

BANNING DRUGS JUST SEEMS TO BE A VERY BIG MISTAKE CREATING A WAR ON DRUGS! IT DIDNT CAUSE THAT MUCH PROBLEMS BACK THEN AS IT DOES NOW ITS ILLEGAL THE TAXPAYERS MONEY MILLIONS GOES INTO GETTING DRUGS OFF THE STREETS THE JAILS ARE FULL OF JUNKIES ALTHOUGH HEROIN,ALCOHOL,CRACK,METH ARE LETHAL IT WOULD SAVE ALOT OF MONEY TIME TO JUST HELP THAT PERSON GIVE THEM THE DRUG THERE ADDCITED TO AND HELPING THEM GET CLEAN IN TIME DIFFERNT DOSES CRIME WOULD GO RIGHT DOWN BIG DEALS OUT OF BUSINESS!

[MrNthDegree]

Narconon International was included in this video. LOL SCIENTOLOGY!

[noobler9]

okay, now I see why people are so worried about caffeine which is a stimulant, as are various amphetamines

it's focus on meth I think is for one very specific reason, to give contrast between a drug that's not really harmful in it's own right, with meth which IS

I don't ascribe that just because something is natural it's not harmful, especially in plant life (stinging nettles anyone?) peanuts have some sort of toxin or mold that is why peanuts get roasted typically

pot's not that big a deal..

[halonerd45]

Bc bud. 'nuff said

[ashleys5093]

haha i wish i tried some when i was there the security at the airport told me its the best in the world..

[AZWIN90]

rofl i love at the end when there about to come to the conclusion that it was all propaganda and it should be legalized, they switch to meth.. and people STILL beleive america has no modern day propaganda and we are all still free.. what a fucking joke we are far from freedom were still answering to the man about the little green plant that makes you hungry, happy and sleepy. PATHETIC. be careful pot smokers dont kill your mom with a frying pan.

[ledzeppelinsucks]

wow smoking weed is really bad

[colemanthesoulman]

@ledzeppelinsucks youryoutubenameisreallybad

[lawlmann]

@ledzeppelinsucks so is eating cheeseburgers and smoking ciggs. drinking alcohol. Cannabis is a healthier and safer alternative.

[M1st4T]

@ledzeppelinsucks your username is really bad :S

[sergsfault]

mj is the msot misunderstood drug in the world it is probably the only drug in the world that is good for you...it saved me from suicidal thoughts many many times and yet it's illigal(((....there is a chance it will become legal in the us...cos american people have a history of smoking it and it is part of your culture..but where i live it will never be legal and its so sad that in my country i can get a jail sentence for having more than 5 gr on me...that is so sick..

[Mahnstermosh]

@xldjvista Bob Marley didn't die because of marijuana u ignorant fool. He died cuz of cancer. His religion didn't allow to amputate his toe, he just dealt with it until his death. Marijuana actually helped him through this time when he must have been in severe pain. If he would have had his toe cut off and kept on tokin' he'd probably still be alive. Don't be an asshole and troll ppl on a subject u know nothing about. R.I.P. Bob Marley. Peace, love, and ganja. LEGALIZE FREEDOM!!!

[sanchez956]

What I'm wondering is why dont they show white people smoking, doing drugs.

[Hanske90]

I did amphetamines a few times for recreation and i quite liked it, the energy it gives you feels wonderfull. But afterwards it feels terrible and it aint worth it :p

Don't get hooked on it guys.

[greeniem]

@Hanske90  it's much better to eat pussy

[kudgcn43]

lol I thought this was a video about Cannabis? They focus on meth.

[mhbound]

@kudgcn43 anything to take the focus off the topic at hand. ;]

they know they are wrong but wont admit their faults. theyll have to and until then we'll continue to put up with the bullshit

[lebiew]

@kudgcn43 Watch parts 1-3. Learn of the corruption of the Fed

[lordtimbo]

@kudgcn43 It's part 5 of 5. watch from the beginning of part 1. They aren't changing the subject, they are compairing the dangers of other drugs to the non-dangerous use of pot.

[kudgcn43]

@lordtimbo Everyone is saying to watch the other parts, no shit how do you think I got to part 5? Just wish we could talk about pot without bringing in other drugs.

[lordtimbo]

@kudgcn43 The argument from the ignorant is always going to be that if heroine, crack and meth are illegal and pot is illegal, then pot must be illegal because it's addictive and destructive like meth and the rest. That makes it a tough sell, when you're trying to explain the benefits and that it's illegitimacy is due to a campaign of lies.

[lordtimbo]

@lordtimbo Still, even though alcohol is one of the most addictive and destructive drugs known to man, and that 95% of all violent crimes are alcohol related, we condone the freedom of choice to use alcohol. So it's no different.. Whether we're talking about heroine, pot, or antibiiotics, we all should be given back the freedom of choice to take or not take whatever drugs we decide are appropriate. Now, the real problem is WHY do people think they NEED those drugs? Obviously they do.

[raschoel]

of course, when speaking of cannabis, other substances have to be taken into measure. Nothing wierd about that. But yes i do agree a vast amount of time in this documentary is spended on amphetamine.

[ctswright]

@kudgcn43 well they do focus on pot for about 3/5 of the show. they start to talk about meth towards the end because it became the replacement for pot in the U.S. since it was prescribed more liberally and is legal and pot wasn't. but they do pick back up with the pot storyline again.

[dyingangelo]

tnx for posting the whole video! i hope more people will see this.

[brisbane1made]

weed. ive been smoking since 2002 Help Me! lolz im ok i guess just a bit lazy thats all nothing major but is it crazy 2 think how did humans get on earth? & sometimes when i smoke around 2am im 2 scared 2 walk in the hallway 2 go 2 the kitchen cause im trippin lol ghost might float past haha na weed Rox when used probably

[ZTM420]

"The legal side effects are more harmful than the drug itself", amen

[savemyplaylist]

they get the constitution part wrong, the federal narcotics laws of today are in fact unconstitutional. The supreme court of today has pissed on that document

[jshine876]

AHHH: I din't have to have a man, I din't need to have anybody!

[EmXtraMoney]

The legal side effects being more harmful than the side effects.... aint that the truth ruth

[shaldoum2008]

fuck it... i'm goin for a smoke

[craigcousens]

police are guna be gettin a history lesson next time they arrest me i can tell ya that!

[mmmmmarcus]

The reason people get paranoia when smoking herb is because of your heightened sense of awareness. The federal government HATES the heightened sense of awareness, because it usually renders indoctrination attempts useless. When you smoke weed, you have a greater-than-normal capacity to spot bullshit. =D Dont believe me? Try it. Smoke some cannabis for a week. Then watch a video with obama speaking. You shall calleth BULLSHIT.

[Sunday704]

What an interesting vid! I love to gain knowledge

[latinalliance]

Crazy man ,Marajuana does kinda make you go crazy due to the Paraniod feelings ,other then that its very Medicinal,against Fevers,Flu,Pain,Insanity,Depre­ssion,Violence,Misunderstandin­gs,Distractions ect.

[noyouaintgettingit]

I guess everybody needs a damn enemy so they pick the lowest common denominator that they know won't fight back to villainize, to paint as a damn devil when we don't force anything on anyone we just believe we should have the right to our own bodies.

[eitkoml]

Basically the people making this video didn't have anything bad to say about marijuana so they resorted to talk about meth to fill their 40 minutes required for the show.

[noyouaintgettingit]

Eitkomi, yeah, I know. Its almost like they're telling us the truth, finally, and basically saying that the government's man made drugs are far worse than natural whole herbs given to us by God. But yeah, its fucked up that our government wants to gestapo us all to prison for stupid fucking shit

[ThatOneTallBlackKid]

That closing statement was so legit

It makes a very good point.

[mglbolano]

daaaamn i skipped to the end and it just wowed me

[spaztech44]

@ThatOneTallBlackKid

was about to say the same thing.

[RGYOGI]

the last line was very good "the legal side effects are more harmful than the drug itself".

[drunkalfuzzyness]

and thats why people get so paranoied. They think they will get arrested for it.

[CORNinfestedP00]

@drunkalfuzzyness

Generally you get paranoid because the hypothalamus region of your brain misinterprets shitloads of simple things as threats when your high. With a confused hypothalamus, your not just paranoid about any one thing, its alot of things.

The fear of being arrested is but a very small part of the reason people get paranoid.

(note: hypothalamus is responsible for recognizing/analyzing/dealing with threats and paranoia)

[provethetruth]

@RGYOGI Hell Ya! If anything, Weed Is Good 4 You. If u eat it, it is absolutly harmless. They Should Outlaw Tabacco. That Shit Kills More People Than Murder and Car Acciendents Put Together. P.s. I Smoke a Pack a Day. Addicted.

[13b1cdw8g]

light that shit, smoke that shit, pass that shit.  nuff said

[aei05h1]

Cannabis oils are being used right now externally to shrink skin cancers! People believe that it can be used internally as well. Delta-9 THC can make a cancer cell initiate it's own 'off switch' literally commiting suicide, this process in a tumor occurs from the inside - out.

Smoking unfiltered cannabis is bad for your health, but then again, so is inhaling the fumes in the atmosphere!

Vaporisation and eating it is much better.

[slytherin0queen]

Harvard did a study . on the THC in marijuanna . it makkes lung tumorss shrink and stops cancer from spreading

[mhbound]

No it doesn't. Anything you burn and inhale is likely to cause cancer. Don't spread misinformation it makes you look no better than the federal government.

[slytherin0queen]

Google the shit harvard did a study .

[mhbound]

THC wasn't the chemicals studied it was some of the other cannabinoids in cannabis.

I don't have the stuff in front of my but when I get home if you send me a message I'll be glad to point you in the direction.

I wasn't trying to get on to you just trying to keep things in check.

The guy below is the same thing. He didn't friggin cure anyone because of potent marijuana THC has nothing to do with curing cancer. It can relieve symptoms but not cure.

[SerialKiff3r]

@mhbound Anything burned and inhaled is likely to cause cancer. HOWEVER Its already been proven that Smoked marijuana DOES NOT CAUSE CANCER... So Marijuana is the exception to this rule...

[mhbound]

@SerialKiff3r

no. marijuana smoked can cause cancer. THC and the cannabinoids found in marijuana cannot.

so, if you were to vaporize then no it would not cause cancer except possibly in RARE cases.

but smoking joints, blunts, weed not properly dried and cured, then you are subject to lung cancer. not as likely if say you were smoking cigs, but still it could cause cancer.

[SerialKiff3r]

@mhbound Then why are there no cases of marijuana only smokers getting lung cancer or any other lung disease?

[mhbound]

@SerialKiff3r

how many cigs do people smoke a day? some smoke 60(3 packs - almost 1 gram of tobacco in each cig), now multiply that times 365 days and you have your answer.

i smoke only very good cannabis, properly cured etc

i only smoke around 1-2 grams per day, and that comes out of a vape or a water pipe...not including edibles of course =]

[mhbound]

@SerialKiff3r

and plus i dont smoke all day long or every day. sometimes i just eat edibles, or nothing

if i smoked 6 nice joints per day its very likely to give me or anyone else cancer...especially considering most rolling papers are derived from tobacco leaf

[GundamDakz]

@mhbound its shownin in studys that people who smoke pot heavily have no more a risk of getting cancer then the average joe.... what doesnt cause cancer tho in reality ... anything and everything...

[kelly2000398]

@mhbound tabacco is grown with radioactive fertilizer

weed isnt

[xldjvista]

@SerialKiff3r v bob marley

[SerialKiff3r]

@xldjvista Bob Marley died in 1981, officially due to malignant melanoma, a dangerous type of cancer that was found on his toe. He could have lived if he let them cut it off, but his religion said you couldnt do body modifications, so he died...

Nothing related to Marijuana...

[xldjvista]

@SerialKiff3r Please how many people get cancer just because they hurt their toe playing soccer? I'm a Bob marley fan but weed definately weakened him and opened him up for cancer. But defend your drug man that's what most addicts do anyway!

[mhbound]

@xldjvista You're speaking solely on what you have had driven in to your head.

So, in reality you are no better than this video and its scare tactics.

The issue here is not standing up for any drug, but standing up for personal freedom. Its nobodys business here or anywhere else what I do inside of my own home.

Addicts would refer to the user being addicted..RARELY have I ever seen someone ADDICTED to marijuana and those who are usually have some underlying issues that need to be worked out.

[xldjvista]

@mhbound choose not to do that shit respect me and I'll respect you. Potheads always acting like people who don't do it are lames, well my answer to that are you're addicts. 2005 Tiana Duret crashed her car into a lamp post severely injuring her friend high on weed and just continued on smoking. Now call the BS.

[mhbound]

@xldjvista ill call BS all day. Gladly, and let me explain why...

Did they do a saliva test? No. They did not. Marijuana has a long half-life. It takes upwards of 30 days or more to leave your system, but that DOES NOT mean you are under the influence of it.

Now a saliva test would show within the last 12 hours only but again they DID NOT do that. I didn't disrespect you, but when you are speaking out your ass then yea I'm going to say something.

Again, I have science to back me up. You don't

[mhbound]

@xldjvista and what does a car wreck have to do with being a drug addict? I've done every drug a-z and while I'm not going to get too far in to it because this isn't worth wasting my time over...But, I smoke weed every day and its amazing at the job I hold and the people who respect me. You ask for respect, give me a reason.

[xldjvista]

@mhbound the bitch was high that why she crashed, anyways go smoke you one or fifteen and go take your kids to disney world rip and don't bother answering. the thing about arguing with a fool is that it makes me look like one too.

[mhbound]

@xldjvista oh she was high? I guess she confessed to you..Because she sure as hell didn't tell anyone else, funny how that works. You must be close to her, is she a close relative? Moron. Quit making shit up.

lol the thing about arguing with a gool is that it makes ME look like one too. looks like you might want to light one up partna. And I will go smoke and I will take my kids to disney. Again, what does that have to do with anything?

[neongodinhell]

@mhbound

So what does a car wreck have to do with someone being an acholic? I dunno maybe because their driving impaired, and marijuana does effect the co-ordination of an individual this documentary even acknowledged that. So if the individual was driving stoned then more than likely it was the cause of the accident. Show xldjvsta some respect for their opinion or make yourself look like a bias bitch, the choice is yours.

[M1st4T]

@neongodinhell people tend to drive slower when high on marijuana, so keep that in mind as well

[refuckulate420]

@xldjvista

Man dumb asses like you are just too uneducated...you don't deserve a shred of attention from anyone. The drug war is a giant scandal and waste of money. Even Abraham Lincoln knew prohibition was bullshit.

It's all based on propaganda and fear mongering. And what's borne of it are idiots like you who go around insulting those you don't understand and spreading misinformation about something which you are clueless.

You support prohibition, you support criminals.

[noobler9]

@xldjvista I don't think that's marijuana being the primary issue there, sounds like TD there is quite a retard, people who are intoxicated typically don't sit around and get more intoxicated after a crash or something

unless there's nothing to do, say you blew a tire in the middle of a rural area, and you're bored, and someone will come along at some point, but you're just waiting for them, so grab a drink and relax~

but otherwise, for TD's case, helping your friend is what most would do

[SerialKiff3r]

@xldjvista people get cancer for over 1000000 reasons... Ha and marijuana is nonaddictive, so there are no marijuana "addicts"... Dont open your mouth, it makes u look stupid...

[aalekos1986]

@xldjvista Bob marley hurt his toe, the wound got contaminated and then he suffered from gangrene and die of it, because the rastafari relegion in which he believed didn't allowed him to chop off his toe. I think the fact it's pretty clear and very well known to the public.

[xldjvista]

@SerialKiff3r death of bob marley, protect your little drug. mankind is is the only creature on this planet who does not run when he sees smoke. we inhale instead.

[invaderavon]

Hehe, every day I see more and more that almost everything I believe to be true is true. Watch, next it will turn out that people can cross the street anywhere they want if they look both ways. Maybe some day some people will actually be allowed to do what they want without being thrown in prison or tortured and ripped away from their family.

Oh, by the way. 9/11 was bullshit too. GOOGLE ZEITGEIST and see what educated people have to say about it instead of the talking heads on FOX.

[binkyslapass]

a volcanoe vaporizer is the way to go..........

[contrabndsuprman]

So, for anyone else who has watched this whole series, from 1 to 5, what have we learned? To me, the overall lesson is this: Regardless of whether something is illegal or not, if a person wants to do it badly enough, they will do it. That's prohibition for you.

[DaveIrie]

Cannabis oil is the most medicinal substance in existence when eaten/swallowed instead of smoked. It can cure cancer and most diseases. The reason why it's illegal is cause it would put the pharmaceutical industry out of buisness if legal. Watch Run From the Cure

[chevon1920]

Cannabis can cure cancer? I'd like to know where you heard that. I don't think its that bad, but I doubt that it can cure cancer.

[Ilikeguitaralot]

Youtube search Rick Simpson. He lived up in Canada and was curing tons of people for mostly Skin cancer but also other cancers using oil that he made from the highest potency stains of marijuana and was eventually busted for having 1000+ plants in his backyard used for curing people. When he presented his evidence in court it was thrown out as "irrelevant." Since then he's been promoting his evidence and trying to get support. I highly recommend watching his movie Run from the Cure.

[violethead22]

if it cured cancer i don't think they'd still be looking for treatments and cures. And well, no one would be dying from it would they.

[DaveIrie]

No, because as I already explained, 'they' are controlled by the billion dollar pharma industry. The government itself has funded research that discovered that THC kills cancer cells. Google 'Pot shrinks tumors, government knew in 74.' There was an experiment done in which mice were given large tumors and some were injected with thc. The tumors went away on the mice who were given the thc. Similiar studies have been performed on tissue cultures and have found the same results.

[fabimsvp]

it cant cure cancer fuckin idiot

[stevo1320]

... AND YOU make this statement based upon what? the extensive research and reading you've done?

The active ingredients in Cannabis have been PROVEN many times over to Shrink and destroy "mutated cells" ... do you know what cancer is? Mutated Cells.

Keep reminding yourself ignorance is bliss... moron.

[SemperFidelis2012]

How can you say marijuana causes cancer when it says in the video they use it for kemo therapy patients.

[noyouaintgettingit]

AMEN stevo.

[fabimsvp]

@stevo1320 actually yes...i use and study cannabis

[mitraljez]

no the point is ... legalize marijuana

meth is a big pice of shit so dont use meth

[destroyedu]

and the moral of the story is... smoke weed all you want to and only use meth occasionally!

[Hashishin13]

All studies I have ever seen, and very likely all studies ever done, which come to the conclusion that marijuana smoke causes cancer base their claims in the fact that the smoke has carcinogens in it. What they don't tell you is that there are many other studies which prove that REGARDLESS of the carcinogens cannabis smoke doesn't cause cancer. In fact the most recent study showed a slightly DECREASED chance of getting lung/throat cancer.

Marijuana smoke prevents cancer.

[ne1469a3]

hay hay hay smoke weed every day!

[jjorif]

The last sentence of the vid is classic..."The legal side affects are more harmful than the drug itself"...LMAO!

[hotae333]

more shit talk from the dictators of the ashole that run the usa

[8TITID]

why can't they talk about weed and not amphetamines??? i think its cuz the case on whether weed should be legal or not is obvious

[Archdrummer777]

isnt this supposed to be on marijuana? not amphetamines

[Flakkks]

its these yellow ish orange flowers that hang upside down i drank the tea but it was already wattered down and i was walking lopsided and i would see large red tarantulas on the wall and my vision was blurry i dont recomend no one doing it cuz i looked it up and its a mild to bad poison if taken to much witch hapened to my friend had to go to the hospital

[DIEABOLYKA]

You talking about Hell's bells my friend!! Don't mess with those!!

[mmmmmarcus]

Those flowers you are talking about are called Brugmansia , a member of the Solanacea family, "Nightshades". All are known for containing powerful toxins in their foliage. I try to explain to people that they want to take Jimson Weed instead, but once you fuck with brugmansia too much, you lose the ability to listen to reason. Its funny how those are legal, yet pot isnt, huh?

[Flakkks]

why u defending meth foooL? that shit is nasty thats why they call it shit !!!!!!! got any shit? fuck that! stick to mother earth herbs and shrooms even peyote 4 life theres even peeps who tride hells bells and that shit is poison !!!! had a friend sent to the hospital cuz he drank to much hells bells is those flowers that hang upside down u prob seen em

[zreiscool]

brugmansia = hells bells

[unriselyrical]

what flowers do you mean? bella donna?

[b1ndrn65]

LayYa86 and KrAzYnEsS92 took the words right out of my mouth...AGREE!!

[Cliner97]

Not every drug effects everyone the same. For example, I have known a few people who weed does not relax. In fact it creates alot of axniety and near panic in them. But their chemistry just isn't suited to it, not the drug itself. Just not for them.

[AndrewKaz]

It looks like marijuana is on its way to being legalized and I think it will be. I hope I am alive when it is though

[Cliner97]

It is possible to use nearly any drug responsibly is the point. You over indulge in anything and you are likely to have problems. Any statements on dangers that can come from overuse that don't qualify 'overuse', leave out the entire truth.

[Cliner97]

I've heard so many people who used to overuse/abuse various drugs lecture others not to use. Talking about how they smoked such and such amount daily, snorted such and such amount, injected et al. But for fuck sake no wonder they had a prob, look how much they were taking! Lol. Have to qualify it. If I eat 2 gallons oif ice cream every day, ya know there's a good chance I might get fat.

[Cliner97]

If I run as fast as I can for a few blocks, my heart rate goes way up and I am breathing heavier. Does that mean my hearts about to 'blow up'? There are hardly any drugs, even heroin that at least initially don't increase heart rate by some measure. To tell people that their heart is going to 'blow up' is just more of the same old tired tactics to terrorize people away from using any drug for any reason, unless of course it comes from a major pharm co. and in that case, oh it's ok, ;-) malarkey

[beyaw17]

methamphetamines are the most serious drug there is, and it raises blood pressure so much that your heart literally does rip a hole in itself trying to pump too much blood and wearing itself out,

[Cliner97]

When the guy from Narcanon said that speed can blow your heart up, at what level of intake of the drug is he talking about? It's a silly statement unless he qualifies it. Taking a hit of speed isn't going to blow your heart up any more than drinking coffee will. People who inject high doses or take lots of it over a long period of time may suffer some negative effects but taking a hit every once in awhile isn't going to blow anyones' heart up. More ridiculous propaganda.

[mesmoras]

Stona I'd like to say that you are an idiot. You speak like a fucking middle-schooler. "Oh weed this, weed that, I'm cool because I smoke weed." Don't get me wrong I love the herb, but it pisses me off when you voice your opinion, and that's it! You don't provide any facts that people may actually say, "Hey, that's true. Wow maybe I'm wrong." You provide a god damned stereotype with your fucking ignorance and should be shot in the head.

[DrHMFIC]

"your heart will rip a hole in itself" Hahahahaha...um, [**cough-cough-BLSHT-cough**]

That one was silly.

[queenville]

i see two problems with weed:

1. it's illegal and that's the bigger problem

2. it's not relatively harmful. by that users may think they can smoke all the weed they are able to and so some of the users suffer from the negative effects of it.

but if it would be legal and everyone put into their minds that you shouldn't smoke every day then there would be no problems

[JM13FUNK]

it all dependz on tha person....some people can smoke many timez a day, and still remain completely functional.

[queenville]

that's what i said "some of the users suffer from the negative effects of it."

[DaveIrie]

Some people also drown in swimming pools and we don't make swimming illegal. In fact no one dies from cannabis but many die from that.

[mmmmmarcus]

@queenville

Well in my case, its different-- Years of cannabis use has made me extremely healthy! In fact, I am totally immune to influenza, and staph infections! (not to mention bullshit =P)

But you are using good judgement, queenville. Moderation is the key. =) we need more people like you in america.

[queenville]

thank you! actually here in finland the situation is probably even worse

[mush1955]

The one drug that kills most people in this world is Tobacco !

[LayYa86]

2009 ! And This "war against Drugs" is a tottal waist of Tax paying Dollars ! I understand Other drugs being illegal but not weed. Marijuana Is BY FAR the least harmful drug out there If you even wanan call it a drug . Alcohol seems more like a drug to me And a FAR MORE harmfull one for that matter. LEGALIZE MARIJUANA IN CANADA ! Save tax paying dollars for busting REAL CRIMINALS !

[shanklinmike]

Even on the harder drugs, prohibition long-run fails. If you think that the government has helped our drug problems then you are seriously confused on history.

Micheal Phelps smokes the ganj!!

[KrAzYnEsS92]

[Remembrance1692]

lol.I know!

[InuzukaCds]

I love that this is so open sided, they aren't blasting it, but they aren't encouraging it. Nice vid, thanks for posting it.

[phantomboi]

So, basically the History Channel is providing credible information stating the fact that marijuana is virtually harmless. Awesome.

[abelparrajr7]

Thank you for posting this. I think it is the best and most intelligent video that I have seen yet on information and history of marijuana.

You might like 'The Union: The Business Behind Getting High'.

Similar style but much better in my opinion.

The guy at :49 sounds like he has no idea what he's talking about.

[cybrbeast]

That guy is Clark Carr, he and Narconon are part of Scientology. He is a liar. If you don't believe me wiki Narconon.

[silverbackman]

Well yeah he's from narconon international and buys probably the worst propaganda there is. What do ya expect. ;)

[Hyronias]

alcohol creates a fisical dependency and its effects on the body are worse than marihuana´s, but its the weed witch is illegal...

[camcamcam12123]

so its not decriminalized in alaska?

[goaheadblockme]

What are the 11 States in which small amounts of Marijuana has been decriminalized, judging that the legal repercussions are more harmful than the drug itself; and exactly what does decriminalization mean?

I've been trying to search out this statement and prove it to be true, but have not been able to do so. It makes me question all the statements on this show.

Does anybody know the what States they are?

[snowmanZER0]

decriminalization means that it is still against the law to be in possesion of it, but that it is not a criminal act.

so if you get busted with the small enough ammount, whatever ammount each state has deemed decrinialized, than the only punishment is a small fine and no criminal record. i don't know if the police are still allowed to take whatever your busted with

but with decriminalized pot, most cops don't even care to bust people with small ammounts cuz they don't get the glory

[fullnelsongrip]

I enjoyed the streaming images of huge bong rips.

[beardedswine]

making nature against the law is unnatural and paranoid

[tranceaholicind]

Horray for the 11 states that legalized small amounts of marijuana!!

Putting toatally harmless people in jail for doing harmless things does MUCH more harm than just smoking a lil joint!!

[lawnie420]

i agree with the ending statements of this vid marijuana laws are more dangerous on the user than the drug itself
