A grams a day is not a lot 😭
How about looking into all the pharmacological drugs being prescribed…my bet is those are the drugs doing the major damage
I bet everyone who says marijuana isn’t harmful is working for drug dealers’ agenda
If you *smoke* it, it is unhealthy. But if developing brains weren’t possibly affected by smoking marijuana then we wouldn’t be asking this question would we?
11:53 his name is Chris Brown
And I’m still gonna smoke .
I’m 14 I do well in school have good grades and can concentrate etc I use it in moderation like once a week and I don’t feel it has any negative affects on me.however I’m aware of marijuana addiction and the dangers
2:50 You forgot Elon musk
I’m 14 started half a year ago been smoking bud everday since and I feel better than ever tbh
I’m only 15, I’m very open to trying it. I want to try it, not right now, but maybe in a year or two. It helps with anxiety, which I have A LOT of. Just because it affects some people badly, doesn’t mean it affects everyone badly. Everyone’s brain development is different. My whole family smokes weed. And my whole family has great careers. My mom is a phlebotomist, my uncle is a truck driver, my aunt is a hair stylist for very important people. From what I’ve experienced, it doesn’t do any harm.
I wanna go there lmao
Crackheads
Anyone wanna tell me their opinion of an age limit? I don’t think 13/14 is such a great idea to start but uh.. wHOoPs
An yes it made me a better person trust me
A bunch of leftards!!
Golfer dude speaks the truth
3 grams a day? Wow, now that’s a real Pot Head!
That’s worse than anything wow no wonder America is going to the trash
Cannabis has helped me with my depression,add,appetite. If it wasn’t for cannabis id probably not be alive or be in college getting my nursing degree.
I’m 13 and smoke weed
Actually pot makes your brain function 10x more.. you have cannabis naturally in your brian called canabinoids cepters which is linked to creativity etc etc etc so when you smoke pot it just boosts your resepters and makes you mode cognitive lmao
Weed is great end of story 🍁
Sir it is completely false that the IQ does not drop.
Seth Rogen be be smoking errday
3 gs a day woah
One time I was super stressed about finals, to the point of suicide I smoked and completely cleared my mind, like gave it a massage and aced all my finals. That alone made my final decision about marijuana
This far more better then alcohol and cigarette
Gen Z Will Make People See Weed As Coffee You Cant Stop What The Population Agrees On🤘
Smoking it once in a while wont do anything to you.
The answer to the question? It effects me very nicely
Weed didn’t ruin your carrier U just suck at golf
I smoke and I’m 15 , I don’t smoke like everyday but I will say I like to get high and I kind of am dependent on it. I think I am gonna take a break from it for a few months then do some more during summer. Being high at school is NOT ok and you should NOT do it. Especially if you want to learn. Also don’t smoke if youre trying to get away from your problems, you should only get high with your friends or something. But if you have anxiety and stress, try sports like running and stuff, exercise helps and you can remain sober.
Just because thc is present in your brain during development doesn’t mean it’s doing harm. Truth is that the thc being in your brain probably helps you
7:04 little do you know he is a paid actor
When I smoke weed the next day I’m so productive it’s awesome like I’ll clean my whole house just because I feel so energized
these people dont know how to smoke a blunt they dont even cloud they just pull and smoke out🤣
Con la marihuana no vives tu vida real, solo es un parche que haga que sobrelleves tus problemas o tus carencias en tu vida. Es gente debil incapaz de pensar por si misma.
So, marijuana causes more dopamine. (Dopamine is part of the brain that controls feeling, hunger, pain..) it doesn’t cause more dopamine forever, only while you are high. And that pretty much means that it only affects the brain while high but no permanent affects.
no one in this video can roll
I’ve been around weed smokers my whole life. I’ve tried but never got hooked. I know some successful people but the grand majority are unsuccessful and disorganized. Very rare to meet a smoker that can focus on a task without deviating. Definitely think it has a negative affect.
These kids are clueless… it’s not going to make you dumb, but you’re constantly giving your brain an artificial dopamine release. You’re meant to release dopamine from natural things like seeing the sunrise or achieving something. These kids think they’re okay, but they would be far better off without pot
"Here we go." lol.
I knew it could help you
I have never in my life seen a weed smoker become successful just saying
Kids should not smoke weed sad parents who allow this say no to drugs and cigarette s kids
11:14 paid actor too lmao
The point about it harming kids. You assume that our current education system works fine. Maybe they see the problems with it and find it wasteful to learn what they are told to and the way its taught. I would want to waste my time with something that doesnt work for me the reason why I bring up about our educational system is,when you do research on the effects of marijuana using a system that isn’t for everyone to base the effects of it. You will get the results that are bias or wrong. Last,this video never talks about why marijuana was made illegal in the 1st place. If you do your own research,you will find out it was for political and financial gain. It had nothing to do with it being dangerous. How many people have died from marijuana? Zero! Ever! Now I wont say it’s for everyone,it comes to the individual and what type of strain of marijuana you use. Marijuana is not like 1 pill for everyone.
18 years and let’s say you smoke once a month dose it affect your brain? I know if you are under 18 and you smoke a lot affect your cortex, or some part of your brain, but I don’t know exactly how much
watching this high nd im not a delinquent nor do i act mf crazy 🙄🤨
Bullshit , you can stop smoking weed anytime you want , the guy that said it’s ruined him has no will power or control and doesn’t really want to give it up, cigarettes and alcahol are far more addictive than weed ,
