    Great job. "Why are your eyes red?" "I’m doing research."

    I was the scapegoat. Bullied by my siblings. Busy parents who were out in society. My siblings are particularly cruel and servants watched. If it weren’t for the weed , I’d have committed suicide.

    I watched this whole thing high because I’m trying to quickly sober up!! I heard half of what she said, and none of seemed like the advice I needed, and…is that DDG, she read his name like that? 😂 I’m screwed

  6. @dunravin on February 6, 2025 at 4:42 am

    She doesn’t answer the munchies question very well. It reduces your blood sugar which triggers the release of the hungry hormone, diabetics take note.

  7. @schousehead on February 6, 2025 at 4:44 am

    male cannabis plants produce trichomes!!! False claims don’t change facts

  8. @antoniogonzalez6186 on February 6, 2025 at 4:46 am

    Which one you recommend for anxiety and sleep

  9. @WaweWins on February 6, 2025 at 4:48 am

    she know nothing about weed, you can ask ur all questions to me… these are very superficial answers

    she dont know why some weeds are turn to purple, what is the diffrence? – just look at the purple plants in nature, purple has something special in
    why this plant produce thc – this is very important question and answer was again dull,

    nonsense

  10. @Hnkka on February 6, 2025 at 4:50 am

    Im scientist too

    Chewing gum

  12. @mylan6894 on February 6, 2025 at 4:50 am

    you are not mentioning important things and are glorifying smoking it every day

  13. @Daninater on February 6, 2025 at 4:51 am

    Are her earings mirroring what a thc molecule looks like?

  14. @user-Snaaag on February 6, 2025 at 4:56 am

    Got a question. This way helps with epylepsy? Cos i’ve heard a lot of stories but no proof

  15. @disgustof-riley on February 6, 2025 at 4:57 am

    Why didn’t she mention anandamide?

  16. @unclefreddy2009 on February 6, 2025 at 5:03 am

    A lot of hand waving here though on daily use. It can be addictive psychologically for many and certainly anyone using for recreational use knows the laziness aspect. Saying it hasn’t killed anyone is factually correct but glosses over the daily use issue. Not talking about cancer patients, and I am not anti weed at all but let’s be accurate with this content.

  17. @90kaskader90 on February 6, 2025 at 5:04 am

    She looks like she smokes every day. The best anti-drug advertising😄

  18. @kempnda on February 6, 2025 at 5:04 am

    cannabis helps me eat and sleep and in turn i can wake up in time , but i live in sweden so im lying ofc 😉 wink wink

  19. @Volkswagenitalia. on February 6, 2025 at 5:05 am

    Indica = “IndiCOUCH” haha, never heard that one

  20. @Mason-i8b9i on February 6, 2025 at 5:06 am

    Cannabis relieves nausea

  21. @swiles on February 6, 2025 at 5:06 am

    I have multiple sclerosis bad and any kind of weed helps my symptoms, but every MS patient has a unique experience so how much it helps depends on the person and disease progression I suppose.

  22. @Itskourtlyndf on February 6, 2025 at 5:07 am

    Not DDG 😂

  23. @mr.absolute8556 on February 6, 2025 at 5:08 am

    i feel like no other scientist could get away with using the terminology: "dankiest sticky-icky" to describe something lol

  24. @grudebusch on February 6, 2025 at 5:10 am

    THC structure is incorrect

  25. @toadster_strudel on February 6, 2025 at 5:12 am

    I wonder how much she gets paid by the cannabis industry to come up with all this "research".

  26. @sadjhb on February 6, 2025 at 5:13 am

    I love her earrings

  27. @linkunarre on February 6, 2025 at 5:14 am

    THC is definitely psychedelic. Anyone who has tried high doses of edibles knows that.

  28. @haileycassidy4877 on February 6, 2025 at 5:15 am

    Why do y’all think weed and alcohol are often compared with each other? They are totally different substances, different chemical reactions, with very few similarities.

  29. @annemacpherson916 on February 6, 2025 at 5:15 am

    A tic tac stops cotton mouth and sea sickness 4 me 🫶🏽🇦🇺🙏 ms is the pits

  30. @luc9121 on February 6, 2025 at 5:16 am

    i have seen weed addiction and it can ruin lives. it is a yes that it is addictive. its much more rare to get addicted but it is very much possible.

  31. @haleygermaine4849 on February 6, 2025 at 5:16 am

    On dreaming, true.

  33. @mma4l on February 6, 2025 at 5:20 am

    Dr Amber Wise has a wealth of knowledge. Impressive.

  34. @Woodsaras on February 6, 2025 at 5:20 am

    She looks the part for sure.

  35. @sumanthm2751 on February 6, 2025 at 5:20 am

    I’m a budtender, we get 61% thc pre rolls, it’s crazy

  36. @steceymorgan814 on February 6, 2025 at 5:24 am

    Psilocybin mushrooms have certainly had a beneficial effect on my mental health. They’ve been quite effective for me in managing my anxiety and depression.

  37. @kostas1297 on February 6, 2025 at 5:25 am

    i love her

  38. @gmarie598 on February 6, 2025 at 5:26 am

    smokin right now 🌲🚬

  39. @KittySnicker on February 6, 2025 at 5:26 am

    Why does THC appear to exacerbate my anxiety? Sheesh there’s always a catch to me enjoying myself 🙄🙄🙄
    Edit: cool she answered my question

  40. @XantralouisLouis on February 6, 2025 at 5:27 am

    Hemp farmer here in Australia trying to get on the right side of history to legalise this medicinal plant ! One day we will.

  41. @B4igo-i7n on February 6, 2025 at 5:27 am

    Cannabis Scientist? LOL OK, I guess I’ll be an oregano scientist…puhleez

  42. @elizakimori8720 on February 6, 2025 at 5:27 am

    Getting inhebriated every day is very detrimental to your dopamine regulation system. Be it weed, alcohol, or otherwwise. People need tolerance breaks to not get lost in their hazy feelings and reconnect with their unmodulated self

  43. @lance_corporeal on February 6, 2025 at 5:28 am

    The camera moves around and you realise it’s been filming her through a two-way mirror

  45. @weisland2807 on February 6, 2025 at 5:31 am

    chronic use for decades is so not fun at all when u wanna stop and can’t sleep for a month, plus the sweats and stomach upsets, and flu-like symptoms…

  46. @eternityescape5601 on February 6, 2025 at 5:32 am

    Don’t get me wrong I’m a smoker myself and my brain would love to hear only all the good things about the use of cannabis, and so that’s exactly what’s she’s doing, playing down its downsides, shedding light on light.. like she couldn’t even say in the first question that it’s obviously not good to consume it everyday for like idk 98% of the population?..

  47. @GennaroNatale-i9n on February 6, 2025 at 5:34 am

    Do you enjoy a needle of air in your neck ?

  48. @Viigan on February 6, 2025 at 5:34 am

    The knowledge level in this episode was quite high.

  49. @byo4648 on February 6, 2025 at 5:34 am

    THC does change colors perceived. at very high dosages, things start to warp too. so for me its at least psychotropic if not psychedelic. tho i rarely can handle the huge sideeffects at those dosages. so yes, psychotropic AT LEAST.

    EVEN MORE, if mixed with classic psychedelics. things start to change drastically if u even smoke a bit of weed on lsd.

  50. @jodyhadley2895 on February 6, 2025 at 5:36 am

    I have always been a lucid dreamer. I thought it was the way everyone dreamed. I struggled with walking up tired for most of my life. I have been taking Delta 8 and 9 gummies the past year or so before bed, and i have never been so rested in my 37 years on this earth. I also so well, and wake up rested. I will never go back.
