Set aside proof showing how bad it is for you, now look at the lifestyle you live to be a big time user, yes it may be fun and help you a lot but really look at it, think about it, smoking bowl after bowl, does that really seem harmless? inhaling blunts, joints, holding them in until you feel really good, How can that be harmless? i'm not talking about brain damage or disease, i'm talking about common sense here, I smoked for 9 years and I can't remember a lot, be humble and really observe.

[dragonwarlord69]

Hey why don't they go and make hour long videos biased against alcohol?

[ryanmeehanonmy55]

I agree with everything in this video but another reason i dont do it is because everyone else in my school dies do it. I do hang around with them but i never have and never will smoke. Thats when youre cool when you can fit in with everyone and not do what they do

Yonski...orange juice is a mild acid

[TKGoat]

i love weed, but i gotta say this is the most reasonable video ive ever seen. although some facts are off.

The chief ingredient in marijuana is THC, a mild form of acid, prolonged usage of which can cause adverse effects to your sexual potency, short term memory loss, and can also severly damage your brain tissue, central nervous system, and basic motor skills. To put it simply mom and dad, theres a reason they call it dope.

@corymart1nez No thats not why people get the munchies, it is because a chemical in cannabis prevents leptin from reaching its destination, leptin is the protein that is released when you eat to make you stop being hungry.

1,891 people are obviously followers of the loser crowd that are gonna end up as low lifes still living with their parents(that's if the parents love the failure their child has become). They are people who can't really go out and appreciate REAL GOOD THINGS in life, and so they waste it getting high. Losers.

LoL eine stunde XD hätte nie gedacht das so viel geht !!!

[AlgeKalipso]

@corymart1nez This is wrong, sorry :P An obvious counterexample is: water bongs! The smoke can be cool, even cooler than the air around. This does not prevent you from cotton mouth and the monstrous MONCHIES!

@Punjabijatt22 I wouldnt say that cannabis undermines moral fibre, or that people wjo advocate it have no other purpose, but it definitely does impair short term memory when under the influence, and many people use cannabis as a result of not having anything better to do.
