    Have you ever watched ‘Saw’ while you were high? Literally any of the movies are a severe cringefest. Oh my god, it hurts so much. You can feel literally everything as if it was happening to you. But it’s such a fun experience, you get to live a little.

    So is it bad for you



  26. Jo V on October 19, 2019 at 12:46 am

    The reason you don’t dream while you are using cannabis is because of excess noreanephrine because when you dream your brain neurons block the production of noreanephrine which causes your body to relax..



  27. drummerboy 76' on October 19, 2019 at 12:48 am

    I don’t bash Marijuana but I do bash users of Marijuana. They tend to have tattoos, be lazy as heck, and smell bad most of the time. Which are qualities that I hate. And also, they talk about relaxation but when I smoked Marijuana for the last time in 2016, I was feeling panicky. I was seeing double and my heart was beating rapidly. It’s strange but I do think that Marijuana should be in every single health care/medicine facility in America for medical reasons.



  28. Yahshs Hshsjsdkdodi on October 19, 2019 at 12:48 am

    Based on this channels name they’re pretty forthcoming about how terrible their work is



  41. Nikola Tesla on October 19, 2019 at 12:58 am

    Can you, theoretically, use "clean" canabinoind to enchant your memory? Or these processes are completely different?



  42. Solid Karnage on October 19, 2019 at 12:59 am

  48. Veuliahッ on October 19, 2019 at 1:07 am

    I feel at Nirvana rn lol. You see so I have a wax pen and I am a pretty experimental type guy, really! I’m like a mad scientist or something, or just a fool 🙁 BUT I wanted to test some effects on Marijuana on the right side of my brain. How so? Simple by being weird and being a lil brave and so I held the button down and snorted a little of the marijuana through the right nostril while being under a lot of stress. The reason I’m here is because it worked lol! So the area of pain in my brain was in the right side and now I just wanted to see wtf my right brain was doing now lol cause its like floating in space rn. Sorry be back soon friends!



  49. Steven McCormac on October 19, 2019 at 1:07 am
