  2. Nate bradley on September 29, 2019 at 9:29 pm

    What about cannabis indica



  5. Lolroflex on September 29, 2019 at 9:33 pm

    These comments are such cancer( prob 16 year olds). I fucking love weed, the problem is I abused it for 5 years every day. I can never get up early, motivation is shot, and my mood is inconsistent especially when I don’t smoke/vape. I just hope I can form a healthier relationship with this sacred plant.



  6. LeafFreedom on September 29, 2019 at 9:33 pm

    Well, okay you were incorrect, and most are,when saying,"CBD is not psychoactive". I had dabbed pure cbd and it surely had psychoactive effect for me. Perhaps I am different than other people?

    If Cannabis was bad we would not have Cannabis Receptors



  8. alvarez_the Asshole on September 29, 2019 at 9:34 pm

    I don’t understand the whole needing weed to be a functional person therefore it’s bad and a dependency problem. Any type of drug for mental disorders make you feel and act a certain way so that you can function like a normal person. To me, weed is just like Zoloft but with more side affects like the munchies and making you tired. If you’re gonna call the use of Canabis a canabis disorder because people need them to feel right, you should call the use of all drugs a disorder because you also need those to feel right. People with high blood pressure rely on blood pressure pills to keep their blood pressure in check. Since they need it to function and have a healthy life, does that make it a dependency disorder too?

    So… It may lead to an addiction or not?



  10. Octopus Food on September 29, 2019 at 9:37 pm

    Hallucinations? Damn never knew that never had them when smoking



  11. sisyphus9787 on September 29, 2019 at 9:41 pm

    Could this be counteracted with other reward-based activities like an intensive hobby, or a professional calling, such as writing, painting or intellectual interests?



  12. Jos Nijsten on September 29, 2019 at 9:41 pm

    Nice, but you should update, we have evolved in the mean time. There is no such thing as "cannabis use disorder". It is one of those fake disorders created by Big Pharma to 1. demonize cannabis and 2. sell their fake medication to the believers. Another thing, you forget a very important cannabinoid: cannabigerol (CBG). It’s the mother of THCA, CBDA and CBCA which will transform in THC, CBD and CBC. And cannabis or THC does not cause schizophrenia or psychosis, it may trigger a disorder sooner, which is not always a negative outcome.



  13. Lily C on September 29, 2019 at 9:45 pm

    I watched this whole high I’m confused



  14. orgChem420 H on September 29, 2019 at 9:48 pm

    Errrr!! Wrong 11-Hydroxy-THC is more hydrophillic than regular THC. The Liver metabolizes small molecules by hydroxylation, glucuronidation/glycosylation, phosphorylation, etc. That is Why You must intake a higher dose orally



  15. mike g on September 29, 2019 at 9:48 pm

    Not trying to insinuate or come across as a dick, but the accuracy and thoroughness of this video is on par with presenting information from just one website to describe the entire internet. Anyone want actual scientific research and evidence about Cannabis, Google Dr. Robert Melamede

    Sir can you pls put more videos about orthopaedic conditions…???

    I was diagnosed with cannabis use disorder and my son was taken away for having pot in my system. It’s sad cuz it helped me walk more then low dose CBD. I’ve yet to try higher dose as most that I’ve seen have THC. I’m sure my son will grow up just fine with a disabled mom in a wheelchair stuck in bed in pain half the day rather than walking, living longer and being healthier. Of course…. I’m going to move to a medical state, but haven’t decided where yet.



  23. hockey 2222 on September 29, 2019 at 10:03 pm

    My only problem with weed is tolerance other than 🀯



  24. Dialogue with the Stars on September 29, 2019 at 10:03 pm

    Good video. Smoked a joint while watching it. *Cheers*



  25. lel pop on September 29, 2019 at 10:03 pm

    Chronic marijuana abuse aka a mother fucking g in the b-ball court. Dunking on hoes. I’m shooting bitches on the street. With my ak Draco uzi gun. And these bitches can’t handle my Cajun heat from down south, my brother.



  26. Sin Cannabis on September 29, 2019 at 10:06 pm

    the word addicting is thrown out there to much by people who don’t understand the difference between medical dependency and addiction.



  27. Breakzoras on September 29, 2019 at 10:07 pm

    You are actually introducing synthesized chemicals to "fight" a dependency on cannabis ? You are full of BS And have totally no idea what the heck you are talking about. Massive dislike on videos that do propaganda on big pharma, and you are clearly one of them



  28. Zant Smith on September 29, 2019 at 10:08 pm

    think you need to look up the definition of addiction mates jesus christ..



  29. YourFriendlyTurtle on September 29, 2019 at 10:08 pm

    for me when im high i feel more stress and anxious (dhs) and if i stop eating when i smoke my body loses its appetite completely and to get the munchies again i need to force myself to eat or take a t break.

    Sounds like medical school.

    This is accurate



  33. rtyrty12 on September 29, 2019 at 10:09 pm

    Everybody has warned me about the other drugs, but the one they kept giving a thumbs up with is marijuana, which ironically proved to be the very drug that caused and causes trouble in my life.



  34. Trump2020 on September 29, 2019 at 10:10 pm

    Addiction to Cannabis is all psychological



  35. frank xaidam on September 29, 2019 at 10:11 pm

    I smoked cannabis for approx 43 out of the past 51 yrs. I don’t recommend using it recreationally, except on *rare* occasions. It is a power plant provided by what some shamans call Natura (the unknowable field of intelligence within nature). If used as an Expander [of awareness] instead of regarding it whimsically, it will treat the user accordingly.

    Just my 2c..



  36. mariin lepen on September 29, 2019 at 10:13 pm

    In Britain (the country in which I currently reside) marijuana may be legalized for medical purposes. A great step forward.



  37. HatedHero on September 29, 2019 at 10:13 pm

    You just explained why marijuana completely eliminates any symptoms of my Tourette’s syndrome. Weed is great!

    How much government funding was received for making this video full of propaganda? Damn! Is Jeff Sessions your boss?

    Psychiatry is a Pseudo Science… THere is literally a truck load of articles and professors debunking Psychiatry as pseudo science.

    How is CBD not considered psychoactive when it is a purported anxiolytic?

    great video.

  46. AngelBaby Momma on September 29, 2019 at 10:23 pm

    One can be dependent on anything and if the pros far outweigh the cons, let ’em light up I say. Zero deaths have ever come from cannabis which is the proper term. The term "marijuana" is racist. look up the origins of the term in relation to the Mexican immigration scare in the 30’s. The name Mary and Juan were the most common Mexican names. We used to farm hemp all the time but when Mexicans became associated with the recreational use of cannabis the government of the united states came up with a campaign to vilify the cannabis plant. In fact, the word marijuana was never before used until it was mentioned on a piece of legislation pertaining to the tax on "marijuana". No one boycotted this law because no one even knew what marijuana was. However, if it had said cannabis, people would have been up and arms. The hemp industry was booming and supported the textile profession, the building of our cities and infrastructure, and wasn’t ILLEGAL for medical and psychological problems. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

    Cannabis use disorder? Really?



  48. kiara BEEthasi on September 29, 2019 at 10:24 pm

    Lol what about cannabis indica



  49. DangerDave on September 29, 2019 at 10:24 pm

    It is medicine.



  50. J Riddle on September 29, 2019 at 10:26 pm

    If people let cannabis ruin their lives, thats all on them.

    I smoke Cannabis to decrease the symptoms of Fibromyalgia and HBP. And if I run out, then whoopdedoo~ its not the end of the universe. I just wait until I can safely afford more and just get on wih it.

    If people are seriously having trouble keeping themselves together with Cannabis, they have no medical reason to smoke it and go crazy with it in general; and most of these folks are recreational users. There ARE responsible smokers out there. Theres just the issue with the underage smoking and irresponsible spending that cause the majority of these anxiety issues. Don’t spend your entire paycheck on Cannabis. Don’t over smoke. And only smoke it if you are confident, self aware and self disciplined when it comes to knowing your tolerance limit and your health.
