  • People call me stupid for smoking weed.Little do they know, it has made my life so much better. It has freed me from a disorder(Social anxiety) that has held me prisoner for my whole life after prescription pills and countless hours of therapy have fail. My grades are getting better because I finally have the courage to ask for help. I'm actually making friends in this town now. And it's motivated me to do something with my life. Don't hold strong opinions about things you don't understand.

  • can marijuana help relieve sciatica and or piriformis syndrome?

  • beer makes you sleep too

  • This doc’s been PAID.

  • I think weed, being natural, is much better for a person to use than all these SSIs like Paxil, Cymbalta and all the other crap they peddle on the TV all day long, every day.

  • My weed doesn't do its' share of the housework or dishes, but I like having it around for companionship.

  • @cindybin2001 wait a minute? are you even real, is this a joke? I literally can not believe that someone like you still exists in todays society! tbh I feel sorry for you as you are a true victim of this brainwashed world, sorry to burst ur bubble but you have been tricked by your government into believing what you believe, cannabis if used correctly is completely harmless! you need to stop all this stress and anger surrounding cannabis its a waste of time and quite frankly you just sound weird.

  • @munkfunk123 Have you not read a THING I've written over the years?? I neve said pot would kill you or anything like that! But it is NOT RIGHT to light up a joint, smoke it, and get "high" or "buzzed"! Can't you see that?? How old are you, anyway? Grow up! And who are you that you're above the law?? Didn't your parents teach you any better than this??

  • @munkfunk123 And so you actually smoke pot? Where do you even FIND it?? Who do you hang out with, that you'd know where to get marijuana? And are you above the law?? Now I suppose you'll tell me you get good grades or have a good job, etc. as if that makes it okay for you to smoke pot!

  • @munkfunk123 so, tell me, how did you get started smoking pot? When did you go from sweet, innocent little boy, playing with toys and games, reading, watching TV, riding a bike, etc. to suddenly thinking you wanted or needed to use an illegal, mind-altering drug to enjoy life and get "buzzed"? What HAPPENED to you??? Even if pot were legal, what a thing to do! And we shouldn't use alcohol, either, so don't tell me that "pot is safer than alcohol." Just grow up!! Set an example!

  • @cindybin2001 lol i really should not be replying to your previous comment as it seems u are unapproachable but i have to let you know how silly u sound cannabis helps millions of people around the world for so many different reasons ranging from insomnia to cancer and anything in between, it heals! If you were to smoke u would suddenly see how pointless u sound. I really hope one day u can understand and i hope u dont have to find out the hard way how cannabis heals. CANNABIS SAVES LIFES! 420

  • @munkfunk123 Oh for heaven's sake!!! As I've said a MILLION TIMES, I am not talking about medical marijuana! I have no control over what a doctor may prescribe legally! What do you think I am, some cruel, heartless shrew who wants people to suffer?? But do YOU have cancer?? And I can't believe you'd tell me to smoke "weed"! What is WRONG with you??? It's ILLEGAL! Where would I get it?? And you think I'd risk getting busted? Not where I live! Even if it were legal, what a thing to do! GROW UP!

  • @cindybin2001 you completely missed my point, the point i am making is people use cannabis for many different reasons NOT just to get high as people like you would put it, my ciropractor use's it, my whole family and friends smoke, where i am from it is not a taboo subject people smoke freely with out caring, if the police stop you nothing will happen, i think you need to focus your energy on something worth while, nobody cares about your silly little campaign, open your eyes and your mind!

  • @munkfunk123 Yes I know people use pot for many different reasons! And your whole family and friends smoke? that is TERRIBLE!!! Oh this makes me furious! Have them email me, I'd love to give them a piece of my mind!!! They set a terrible example! Most parents do all the can to teach their kids morals and values and common sense to know not to smoke POT when they grow up!!! What a thing to do! And we shouldn't use alcohol, either! I just can't believe people like you exist in this world.

  • @cindybin2001 well you better get used to it cause us pot heads are here to stay and within 10-15 years it is predicted cannabis will be legal through most of europe and the usa so what you going to then, pick on coffee drinkers?

  • @munkfunk123 Well how sad is that, if pot smokers are "here to stay"?? Is THAT the kind of world you want to live in? I should hope not! And I'm always picking on coffee drinkers! Haven't you read my many blogs and posts on this??

  • Here the marijuanna is legal xD

  • if i could smoke cannabis all day everyday i would 100% but the fact of the matter is it does disrupt everyday life to much, i give myself a little rest off the smoke say once a week for a day or 2 then once every few months for a couple of weeks i find that by doing this it allows my tolerance levels to stay fairly low hence the need for less and more so i find i appriciate it a lot more, i love weed, it is the best thing in this world, i am succussfull and wealthy and weed helped me get here!

  • i love you... dude im going get stone... your right!!!!

  • AJAHHAHAHAHAH ITs so funny that its illegal unless the government sells it to you then its perfectly fine

  • @p617jay Dude you're a fucking idiot. He's only listing the pros and cons of marijuana from his perspective. Pros and cons tend to "contradict" fucking idiot.

  • ...tolerance. Having a high tolerance for weed basically means that you can smoke all you want but it's barely getting you high. I'm sure there was a time before when you said, "I'm good," after a bowl or two and that's because you know you're really high. That doesn't happen when you have tolerance, or at least it's very hard to achieve. You can turn to edibles but my advice is to take a t-break for about a week or so and then go from there. DO REMEMBER this does not account for all symptoms.

  • A lot of the symptoms at the end of the video do exist, just not everyone experiences them, or hasn't yet. Weed can do that to you if you "abuse" it. I don't like that word but you might want to figure out how much you can handle and what your limits, most importantly you should set guidelines to not smoke too much over the long run. I believe high tolerance is likely the main suspect when it comes to some of these negative symptoms. If you increase use too fast you will likely build a high...

  • this video should be 2 days long

  • In one of your other videos you said that it made you less social, your just fucking your words up there bro...

  • i am a chronic smoker, and i have insomnia, and it DOES help, as long as i have the right strain of marijuana.

  • weed helps everything!

  • @fifadude04 Weed helps everything. Oh brother. What a thing to say. Grow up.

  • HOW DO CIGARRETTES HELP HUH?!?!?! HUH BITCH!?!?! WHATT!?!?!?

  • that's bullshit!! thumbs up if you sleep AMAZING WHEN YOUR HIGH!!

  • 0:45 to 1:20 completely describes why i smoke and i have never heard anyone point out that reason for using cannabis. my mind is always racing, especially around people, and cannabis helps me concentrate by slowing me down and letting me organize my thoughts.

  • So u can drink your drug but not smoke it

  • I suppose lots of people drink with people who don't drink. Why would stoners smoke around people who don't smoke? Isolation my ass.

  • Lizardman is nothing but a negative spinmaster utilizing mindcontrol techniques to create an impression of positive negative to confuse the people watching.

  • wow ya know i feel anxiety when i smoke and i've noticed alot of people have been having the same problem...kinda trying to figure out why

  • Marijuana Heals cancer and all other imbalances in the body .. as Marijuana is NOT a Drug not even a medicine but a life essential nutrients called Cannabinoids and anandamides that our body produces normally out of Omega and other EFA's .. equivalent to enzymes that are made of Amino-acid's (proteins) That means, that all illnesses like cancer or influenza, Inflammations or infections and all stress related illnesses, hyperactivity and depression are caused by Cannabinoid deficiency..

  • ..and the Cannabis plant is the only one in this world that can provide relief .. If you would use Cannabis and other Natural remedies in your hospitals and doctor offices, Not only would you start healing people (For the first time in your chemical history) but reduce Health care costs by 95%

  • marijuana helps ... and its illegal ... alcohol kills and its legal .. i dont understand them people should legalize weed and say no to alcohol

  • My mom told me if i had a car, a job, good grades, and good friends, and responsibility, and i smoked weed from time to time RECREATIONALY, she wouldnt be happy. Is that fucked up or what? Oh, and i found weed, pipes, tanks and a dildo in her room along with my pipe she took from me 6 monthes before. Shes a bitch.

  • @Skate2guru The same thing happened to me, But it took six years

  • @PurpleDinousaur did you stop and it got better or are you still smoking?

  • @Skate2guru I stopped smoking for about 6 months it did nothing. But my depression from feeling so empty and alone started me smoking again, Me stopping smoking did absolutely nothing I feel worse when I'm not high.

  • It's illegalness??? Are you sure you're a real doctor? Kidding, your a great doctor because you prescribe what works.

  • @Skate2guru You didn't watch the whole video did you lol

  • dude seems like he's stoned in the video by how slow he's talking, probly feel asleep soon as the camera turned off, "again.. uum, eerr, im doctor david thomas.. and.. appreciate you watching this video zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

  • @p617jay HAHA, your so fucking right

  • I've went the opposite socially, i found it makes me more in my head, and that its harder to articulate what i want to say. I decided to cut back, and since ive found that i have to force myself to eat- a problem ive never had before. Also, since ive cut back(from about 4 times a day to about 4 a week), my insomnia has returned. I feel like i have more energy now tho, which i am enjoying, and im better at my job.

  • bob has a problem

    bob:*takes hit from blunt*

    bobs friend: pass it, its 1 hit pass

    bob: i have O.C.D if i dont hit this blunt 5 more times im going to flip the fuck out

    bobs friend: what the fuck im never smoking with you again

  • That doctor guy is high as shit

  • I am a quiet person going to college. I'm on my junior year and I never wanted to be high in class in fear of loosing focus. However, I figure that I didn't have to get extremely high for it to have a good effect on me. I been smoking lightly before class each day and I am relax, and I also feel more comfortable. I have a presentation to do on soon and I am going to smoke to relax my nerves.

  • is it odd that there was a michael phelps swim spa add right before this?

  • even if it is illegal what gets me is why they moved it up to a b-class? its stupid id be happy with medicinal. takes it out of the hands of 'criminals' and into legitimate companies stopping people from adding any thing bad it would also get us out of the credit crunch... (england)

  • I am a way to quite person I think I need marijuana

  • well, how do I get prescribed marijuana instead of seroquel, seroquel has mainly seperated me from people, while marijuana brought together with people.

  • marijuana help my manic adhd and changed my life i couldent be more thankfull

  • i believe that it should be legal everywhere for medical use. that way i could "help" my grandma use it to relieve her pain

  • @seanwany24 addict i presume?

  • @p617jay  but of course you're not ! right?

  • hello im doctor david thomas and i like to suck childrens penis. its alot safer because they wont shoot you in the eye. this relieves panic and blurred vision. uhhhhh high status.. weed is bad for you boys and girls! so lets roll on ecsxrtacy!

  • @p617jay , They don't contradict. They just give both sides to the Marijuana debate, which clearly shows that the dangers are way worse than the benefits.

  • This guy is high himself. WHAT A GOOF!! Look at them pupils!!! Hes high!!

  • He's a douche.. He doesn't know shit about cannabis, that's right, it's called CANNABIS..

  • @peterhh14 thank god you know what you're talking about ! finally an expert .

  • STFU and smoke a big 1

  • @lordfooby fuck you.

  • I thought this was how weed helps,he just talks about more of what it harms.

  • @zombiedeath89 "does marijuana help ?" lay off the weed.

  • John Ritter

  • ok seriously marijuana is harmful so stop fucking defending it. there is no debate there at all it is harmful end of fucking story

  • does weed help hair growth or does it do the opposite??

  • i wonder if he smokes....

  • there's lots and lots more thing that weed can help that he didn't say GO GREEN!

  • LMFAO, this dude looks like the guy from threes company hahaha

  • These people know what your is saying is true and don't want to hear it!

  • @theMessnger your fuckin stupid aswell as this therapist marijuana does not make you hang out with other people who smoke cannabis they tend to because alot of people who dont smoke never tried it andd think of it bad of it because there missinformed by the dea i have so many friends who dont smoke and dont look at me wrong but it is true i have more friends who smoke so dont make it look like you are indiviualized!!!!!!

  • @kadmiri420 people comment when something touches them, people comment negatively when they're offended by a truth...as did u, I bet your friends that don't smoke have a private joke about u.... i know i do....

  • So "doctor" are you saying that Medical Patients have problems sleeping?

    its so funny how full of shit you are, your contradictory videos and your "facts"

    Have of your facts are through studies funded by the alcohol and tobacco companies. I say you get your license taken away and learn about Cannabis in its true way. You speak through reading others bullshit "studies" how about seeing for yourself and speaking by experience?

    Legalize it!

    Peace & Pot

  • If it kills brain cells, tell me how a friend graduate as the valedictorian with a uhh close to 5.0 GPA. !?!?! hahahaha and the STATE CHAMP in the 1600m!

  • Marijuana helps me ignore annoying ass people like you and it sucks cuz im out

  • Say your mind runs really fast. Like, i am kind of an anxious person and I also have trouble focusing because my mind moved fairly quickly. What type of weed would be for me? The first time i smoked I got a panick attack but i wasn't in the right mind set for it. what would be the best kind for me that won't make me antsy just chill and relaxed? Btw, I smoked Redge the first time.

  • @shawtyxxamanda Smoke a little dro. And make sure youre in a good mind set and dont think negatively. And smoke it slow lol

  • I was smoking every day for almost a year and I loved it. I quit forever now and I'm glad.

  • Id like to add that there are not bin real test on the long therm effects, what he is talking about is observation.

  • I like smoking weed. I just striaght up liking somking. I dont give a fuck what other people say

  • @noleenow Good on you, mate. Keep puffing.

  • It's like with alcohol. Some consumption usually doesn't do too much harm. But if someone starts daily consumption it should be taken as a sign of some depper psihological problem..

    Also the problem of marihuana is that it can triger psihosis in some.

    It should be legalised and put under strict control and wide scientific research, as unknown source and quaity with very high chance of ilegal drugs dealers mixing other more adictive hard drugs to increase the sales is the bigest problem.

  • @uroshjovan If you grow your own, then there wouldn't be a worry wondering what was in it!

  • For those younger users. I would surely agree wit the doctor on what he says.

    It's like with long term alcoholics (or should we say excesive users), they can't remember anything, and along with their brains their liver also start to fail..

    Long term marihuana users get first isolated in their circle and tend to think they know everything, when in fact they live in a delusion and are usually the only ones that don't see that. Then they get paranied and violent...

  • @ rekycheky: weed doesnt give you lung cancer. also, bob marley died of some disease in his foot that turned into cancer, which eventually spread through his whole body. research weed and bob marley before you talk ignorantly about them. (ignorant means lacking knowledge of a subject. it doesnt mean stupid).

  • i love how people love ganja so much that there judgement is made before thinking. ganja can be bad for some people it effects everyone different.

  • HOW DOES ALCOHOL HELP?

  • before I start taking tablets against pain or insomnia, I swear to god I ll smoke marijuana again... and if any young little bastard comes along and forbids it to me, I swear to Bob Marley, I ll kill him, because no person has the right to tell me what I should take and what I should not take. I ll grow the stuff in my garden and smoke as many as I can per day and hopefully die of lung- cancer, just like Bob Marley did.

  • @rekycheky .....bob marley didnt have lung cancer. dumbass. smoking marijuana doesnt make you get cancer. it actually helps.. beleive me. i know buddy, so think before you talk.

  • @rekycheky Bob Marley did not get lung cancer. He smoked all the time and was a great footballer...and very fit despite smoking 24/7

  • i smoke all the time. and i do tend to be a bit more asocial when im smoking alot, but i didn't even have any friends before i smoked weed anyways so i dont give a shit.

  • My dad use 2 smoke marijuana b4 he had kids but now he is all negative about it and doesn't want me 2 smoke i no he smoked all his teen years and some of his adulthood so why dose he hate weed now? ps 420 all day everyday

  • I've never smoked. I don't plan on it. But I believe a grown person has the right to if he/she chooses to.

  • well they spend more time with other pot smokes because pot brings people together

  • haha CHRONIC use of marijuana...

  • i'm a long long term user (20+ yrs). i found marijuana to be very useful for creative activity but with continuous / chronic use, i tend to lose my executive function which turns my creativity useless.

  • he is a doctor ...u r the smokers..he knows what can hapen 2 u ...u dont know what can hapent 2 u ...i got long experience whith chemicals

  • heres a new episode for you.

    Marijuana Facts: How It Helps Millions Daily !

  • Side effects of marijuana: Fear of looking like this guy.

  • Gateway? only if you have an addictive personality, i have smoked for about 12 year's and don't want those cleaning supply drug's near me,that shit is for loser's..This guy need's to go back to school..

  • i think this guy got high after reading the second rated comment lol

  • weed is only a gateway drug because once introduced to something as great as it you realize what has been preeched to you as illegal isnt as bad as you thought so you go on to try other illegal things

  • ponder on that boys

  • really we should have a doctor from cali not f-ing tampa florida, it's highly illegal in florida. Where does he get his facts from, no one is aloud to preform tests on cannabis. Wheres the cali doctor, or even coloroda

  • @kydenj28 omg omg how does he do it, he calls me or one of my friends i drive to him and we smoke blunts and look at logic

  • SMOKE!

  • no this is good information.

    I managed to get straight A's in Highschool now I'm going into school for business.

    As long as I don't go into math class t:2 hours after smoking I think I MIIIIGHT just be okay.

  • WHY the fuk did they ban marijuana

  • @Living2TheMax2 mexicans and asians would go into hash bars and smoke and so they made weed illegal for racist fears and because of rumors that weed turns u into a psychopath or a rapist.

  • @gusthepugisownt wow really?

  • @gusthepugisownt

    is that even true?

  • @rextony22 Yes, and there were many other reasons that are total bullshit and have been proven wrong on many occasions. Watch The Union it is an eye opening documentary about the prohibition of pot and it has a brief history about it in the beginning and it shows how the prohibition makes it profitable and more accessible to children (which i could care less about cuz im 15) SO WATCH IT!!!

  • Did this guy just say the word illegalness somewhere a bit past 0:32? Illegality, jackass. I'm a pot smoker who's made it as far as grade 11 and I know that.

  • @KendrickMan im going to grade 11 too :D

  • love how there's a prilosec ad right under the vid.

  • Id rather smoke weed for my anxiety than taking anti-depressants for the rest of my life.

  • @ChrisEatsDeadBabiess HELL yeah mee to

  • @ChrisEatsDeadBabiess

    im taking anti depressants and i want to try to smoke weed. what will it happen? my doc says, the pills are not dangerous. and kaiser does not believe in medical marijuana. i need advice here.

  • @rextony22 You should try marijuana when your pills wear off and see if there is a difference and if it is better or u like it more tell your doc and say you prefer marijuana. BY THE WAY IM NOT A DOCTOR JUST SOMEONE WHO USES POT OCCASIONALLY FOR DEPRESSION AND ITS FUN. YOU DONT HAVE TO TAKE MY ADVICE IM JUST THROWING AN IDEA OUT THERE.

  • @gusthepugisownt i love it!

  • everyone look up american resistance movement

  • marujuana is a non addictive herb supplement... its proven to help joint function too... who wouldnt smoke pot

  • A Man who is an encyclopedia of other peoples thoughts.

    Not one experience in any of this aspect that he seems to portray knowing.

    How can you know any of this if you have never tried it?

    Stop being a regurgitater of useless old propaganda out of date, information and be a real Doctor with your own experience and knowledge.

    Everything you say is mostly incorrect, you were right about it is called marijuana to,

    good for you a pat on the back.

    lol

  • Its actually the sativa plant that helps in concentration and conversationalist ability, art, music, concentration.

    The Indica of the Cannabis Plant is the get you ripped with munchies and play games high.

    I personally like more sativa then indica..

    Unfortunately we have this retarded senseless war, so Organized Crime gets to choose what we smoke, mostly.

    At least educate yourself as to why it can do these things, it's not always individuals as much as genetics of strain, dumbass.

  • @Covey69

    did I say Concentration yet??

    lol

  • weed is cures and helps everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    so go out and get high:)

  • Marijuana takes care of my chronic pain issues, without resorting to heroin or other narcotics that will actually harm me. I don't give a fuck about that thing called 'the war on drugs' or the evil people that enforce it. I am myself, in my body living my life as I so choose. No drug laws exist in my world and neither does consequence. This is what it used to mean to be an American. Governments and laws that apply to the personal individual are for suckers.

  • @PrettyFreakinWise

    wow. strong words by you.

  • i'm sorry but this guy is high right now

  • i can understand your points, because i am enlightened from it, but sometimes it makes me soo braindead that i can't even talk right! maybe there's a limit of amount a person should take to not go overboard... i hink my life would be better if i either accept it fully, or fully quit. there's no in-between, and that's the only way anyone will appreciate it. i can't express myself while i'm on it- to others!

  • im hella addicted to getting high, it definitely makes me escape- only for a moment... then i will eventually come to face it again. marijuana temporarily sustains the problem, it's so good that it's addictive, and once you do it regularly, it becomes nothing but a waste of your money and braincells, and TIME! be real to yourself, it doesn't help you in the long run, being natural is always better for your anatomy.

  • @khingratsaphone

    say all u want about it being a waste on money, it is definetely NOT a waste of a brain.....for me it has done nothin but make me more open minded, philosophical, and tolerant to others(while also realizing there are many brainwashed drones running around this world)....it is a great drug for the mind, not so much the wallet :)

  • "its illegalness" well that shows how smart he is, learn to speak properly before u give medical advice idiot

  • @xjthg187187x

    this is the problem w/ people like u, what does ones grammar have to do w/ ones level of intelligence??....that deals more with their formal education....intelligence is derived from intelligent ideas, not how these ideas are communicated(as long as the listener gets what the speaker is trying to say)

  • @MFBueno63 i'd like for u to point out one SINGLE intelligent "idea" that this man put out.I thought so, "Formal education"? , if that's the case this guy should be more educated on what he's talking about instead of throwing out garbage (like his grammar), I don't smoke pot, but I'm "formally educated" enough to know that he's a moron and u FAILED :)

  • when i use it i tend to be more alert of my soroundings. if im at work i focus more and for some reason every things tends to flow at my pace. i cook for a livin plus im a culinary student. so when im at woek my food taste that much better.

  • this guy has no idea. everyone is different, some people can handle it, some people can't, I work 40 hours a week, hold down a 3.2 GPA at a big 12 school, and smoke almost at least 4 times a week. I have no health issues, nor am i overweight from the munchies, my biggest issue is getting to sleep if i havent smoked, other than that i love it and am in no way addicted

  • @ryanlooney11 yes u r! if you cant sleep cause you havent smoked u r addicted bud...

  • @comitfam that could be the case. or he has insomnia like i do and everytime he lays down in bed his mind starts racing and the only way to sleep is get drunk or high. i don't know bout you but i rather smoke everynight verses drinking. the long term effects of that drug are too much for me.

  • @xxxproboard

    Thats exactly what it is, im in no way physically addicted as i can go weeks or months without it and never feel an urge to smoke, i just like it because it helps relieve a racing mind when it's time for bed.

  • @ryanlooney11 same here

  • hahah im high ass hell right know hahahahah i want sum micky d's

  • Dude.. I'm def not going to continue to watch your videos. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. You obviously have never smoked, and you probably don't have a horrible disease that pot helps. So.. Please stop your marijuana videos. You even continue too point out the "Dangers" "Negativity's" of Marijuana in your What does Marijuana help video. STOP.

  • Note that the people who bash marijuana have most likely never tried it.... its always some square older person who has all the facts but knows nothing first hand. He would LOVE it.

  • <------ I DEFNATELY AGREEE !!!!! STAY BAKED =]
