    I tried smoking marijuana 3 times it was fun but I stopped smoking because it made me very unproductive.



  2. Health & Household on August 19, 2019 at 11:41 pm

    Thank you so much

  4. Alexa on August 19, 2019 at 11:47 pm

    So you’re not gonna talk about the shit it does to your brain when you’re under 25

    I thought this was supposed to be about the harms of weed. He keeps finding nothing for several diseases.

    You know what I find funny about weed smokers. There arguments are similar to an sjw’s arguments.

    For example I tell them. Regardless of ‘what’ you are smoking. At the end of the day you are inhaling smoke into your lungs.
    Then they are like.

    "Bu bu bu but it hel- piss off you are a hater "

    Why does he have the same voice and physical mannerisms of John Green?

    Until these pharmaceuticals like xanax and oxys are gone u have no fucking right to speak about weed. How much are they paying u



  12. Oppie The man on August 19, 2019 at 11:54 pm

    fucking peanuts kill more than cannabis thats right peanuts are more dangerous than weed



  13. Margaret Batson on August 19, 2019 at 11:58 pm

    CBD oil is fine smoking Marijuana with the bad stuff isn’t. It may numb your pain but the benefits of smoking it is bad.



  14. Belony11zz on August 19, 2019 at 11:59 pm

    People complain about pot being bad but never look at how people with depression end up wanting to use cannabis



  15. Anon Anon on August 20, 2019 at 12:00 am

    Pot causes schizophrenia. Want to spend a life-time in a psych ward? Most people can smoke it without trouble. The risk is not worth it, though. How do you know if you are "most people." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFNKCHzF9I4&t=3s You are trying too hard to be the cool "actually…" guy. You cannot smoke pot with a person in a psyche ward who has pot-induced schizophrenia. Irresponsible video.



  16. John Keith on August 20, 2019 at 12:01 am

    It’s a gate way drug. It is additive as hell. It stinks like shit. Crime rate is now higher in my sate after legalized.



  17. Alive On Life on August 20, 2019 at 12:01 am

    😎Hit that for me if you’re a real pot 👇smoker



  18. Martin Henderson on August 20, 2019 at 12:03 am

    I honestly think that there are major effects to the use of marijuana, both medically and recreationally. To clarify this statement, I will give you an example of how certain drugs were said to not be dangerous, but truly were incredibly dangerous to the user. Back in Ye Olden Days (of the 1950’s, 60’s, and 70’s), it was stated by both the tobacco industries and doctors alike that smoking was not, NOT dangerous. In fact, some claimed that it actually had POSITIVE side effects! Here, in this video, they say that smoking weed has positive side effects.

    Another reason that I think this is because many dangerous street drugs were said to be completely safe when they were first created, such as heroin, meth, cocaine, and much more. A contrary argument that could be presented to this is that marijuana is NOWHERE near a “new” drug.

    Anyway, that’s my opinion on the use of marijuana. Feel free to respond to this comment!



  19. jammapcb on August 20, 2019 at 12:03 am

    Diagnosis of psychosis = BS!.. A the person already has this issue. B 60% more smokers in correlation of such mental issues is still 1.2%. … we should see a rise in this… so BS!



  20. lEtiTSItiN .ŕÃđìŐ on August 20, 2019 at 12:04 am

    Omg they cant even get any evidence that weed is bad



  21. SoulSeeker 311 on August 20, 2019 at 12:06 am

    Cannabis will not make you suicidal if anything it will stop someone who is on the edge. (Yes panic attacks can and will occur with some people, when this happens for you rookies drink some lemonade and take a nap it’ll be over in a few hours, like a stomachache)



  22. Aesthetic Soul on August 20, 2019 at 12:08 am

    Water is more dangerous than weed



  23. Saeed on August 20, 2019 at 12:08 am

    No matter how much Youtube tells me weed is good. I’ll never smoke it.



  24. wanderingcat on August 20, 2019 at 12:09 am

    Who are you funded by? Probably the weed lobby. This was very bias.



  25. shihtzu x on August 20, 2019 at 12:09 am

    Let’s be honest – it’s good for medical use



  26. Afsara Mehrin on August 20, 2019 at 12:11 am

    I’m just happy that I don’t do ANY type of drugs 🤚🏻🚫

  28. Almighty Alious on August 20, 2019 at 12:13 am

    What about the rumour that weed shrinks the mind ( grey matter ) but increases connectivity between the right and left hemispheres ? can you shed light on this and I’ve also watched that over a long time of chronic use there are some proteins act as ( floating memory ) which flow through neuron tunnels , the video showed that they gradually become smaller in size till, long term use lead to their fading, so we want a video on those things. and tbh I’m a regular smoker of bong and pot, I’m grateful it brings me peace and serenity a portal that changed my life and thinking to the better, the gateway to enlightenment if used right not abused or used recklessly



  29. TheSmartLawyer on August 20, 2019 at 12:13 am

    Gateway drug. 100%



  30. Russel Demillo on August 20, 2019 at 12:14 am

    Im sure the 1.2k dislikes are using marijuanaa



  31. phrenchphried on August 20, 2019 at 12:14 am

    It’s hard for me to believe that smoke inhalation is ever good for you.



  32. Bryan Turnbow on August 20, 2019 at 12:16 am

    The good uses of marijuana are very evident but I think marijuana should spend more time in pharmaceutical laboratories and be heavily reduced for purposes of recreation.



  33. David Arndt on August 20, 2019 at 12:19 am

    I’m NOT referring to the Marijuana here. But, common sense tells you that SMOKE from any source is harmful to your lungs.



  34. Robert Rainbow on August 20, 2019 at 12:20 am

    You can black out , go unconscious while smoking marijuana and somebody might rob or rape your ass if you do. It’s really dumb



  35. Louis Rubens on August 20, 2019 at 12:20 am

    I’d take this video more seriously if he didn’t over-stress his words like he’s doing…



  36. Devout Catholic on August 20, 2019 at 12:21 am

    Idiots who say cannabis isn’t dangerous shouldnt smoke it. I was addicted to it and many are but because everyone gets false perception about it they think its harmless which its not



  44. DATUROID on August 20, 2019 at 12:31 am

    Harms ain’t even a word doc.. Boo bitch.



  45. Rob Metal fan on August 20, 2019 at 12:31 am

    That’s wierd …. I have anxiety and depression and weed can make any negative mood I’m in Possitive ….. makes my mental health much better actually …



  46. Ebxyz on August 20, 2019 at 12:33 am

    I mean I smoke pot to treat my depression and anxiety, I’m a heavy user who used to have suicidal thoughts every single day, same with every night but since I’ve been smoking pot it’s helped me in ways. I used to be 30 lb’s underweight and now I weigh the amount i’m supposed to weigh. Pot also helps me sleep, helps with my arthritis and growing pains still to this day. Now it is not legal where I live and I hope sometime in the near future before I move I would hope it’s legal here all around in the United States.



  47. An0nYmU5_ 3voLutI0n on August 20, 2019 at 12:35 am

    Weed does not kill



  48. Ernie Llerena on August 20, 2019 at 12:35 am

  49. IrKeeg on August 20, 2019 at 12:37 am

    I can say because of marijuana I stopped smoking tabaco and stopped drinking alcohol! My life is way better! I used to be grumpy and sad now I’m happy and working out my life.
