Very Well Explained. Using this to teach my daughters about Marijuana.
Just for the record mountain due has always been caffeine free unless they recently started 2 add it…i will check now just go be 100% sure
I came here to know about the side effects of vaping, especially with Propylene glycol.
Good talk by the way.
Thank you for an excellent presentation, I will be looking for more from you. I recently attended a training by Dr. Paul Baker and asked how marijuana effected brain development and he did not have an answer for me, hence my online search for an answer. I work with adolescents and specialize in addiction.
Thank you so much for this video. Well presented for teens and hits on all relevant topics including vaping and high TCH. I have been looking for this type of presentation. Thank you!
I want to know where the real world evidence for nicotine doing long term damage to the teen brain is? It doesn’t exist. Now I am not saying that it does nothing but it is nowhere close to the extent that the anti vaping crowd likes to claim. Besides where was all this fake concern for the teen brain when it came to cigarettes and nicotine gums, patches, lozenges, etc.? What they fail to tell everyone is that it is all based on animal testing, mostly lab mice & rats and they don’t compensate for the difference in size & weight between the animals and the humans. By the way showing a scan of a brain reacting to something it enjoys or doesn’t enjoy mean absolutely nothing on its own. Hook my brain up to the damn machine while I am getting a blowjob after smoking a good joint & I will probably break the damn machine.
Psychiatrists like to say Marijuana permanently damages and alters the developing brain in adolescents which is not true and put their synthetic neuro-toxins into the brains of adolescents even infants damaging them for the rest of their lives. Do you see the hypocrisy?.
Wish someone came to my school and had this talk
I came here to learn about the dangers of vaping in general because many of my kids friends in jr high and high school are juuling and talking about it. But, this was such a great talk, explained so well, I wish every young person could listen to her. It’s not about just being able to “just say no”. Education on drugs and the brain is the way to approach the teen instead of scare tactics.
She is toxic
I’m smoking a blunt rn. Maybe this hoe needs one too
Marijuana is not bad in small doses, higher doses will just get you high as a kite. Marijuana is not addictive. I have experience and this lady do not know what marijuana does. Marijuana through vaping is clean. You get wiser with marijuana but "intelligent" people like her will tell you that you are dumb because you get wiser then them. You will understand whats important and whats not under the influence. Enjoy life and marijuana is life. The sword of Truth will cut down the liars and haters of marijuana.
Ugh , she lost me as soon as she said weed is addictive.
Spreading false information like this ruins your whole point. There are legitimate “dangers” of smoking weed as an adolescent; but when you lie like this as soon as these kids find out your whole argument is now invalid (even though some of your argument was legitimate).
Very nice!
marijuana is bad for young and old people as it eliminate the natural chemical your brain produces
this is what this old speech will never work! you guys put marijuana on the same leve AS HEROIN and realy want that these teeanager take u seriously? come on
The dress and the boots and the way she walks , can’t stop admiring her .
Ima smoke even more now thanks cutie
lol I know this is a little off topic, but now we need to get the next generation to sense the dangers of debt.
get me out of this class.
Yet Antidepressants, Amphetamines, Antipsychotics, Antihistamines, and NSAIDs are perfectly good to use daily from age 3 and up. LOL. Disgusting. Advise against those drugs first, especially alcohol, yet there’s so much against Cannabis. Lol.
15:10 – purpose of cannabinoids fro cell survival @ the moment of expression is down regulatory … homeostasis of cellular signalling is a result of cannabinioid metabolism… in fact – cannabinoid receptors are the only cell receptors to go post to pre synaptic in their signalling.. known as retrograde signals… the plant cannabinoids are a form of that expression when man ingests them .
There’s a lot about how marijuana is addictive when you’re a teen, but they really glossed over why it’s bad to actually have it as a teen. From what I gathered it:
1. Cuts the amount of dopamine your body can naturally produce
2. Prevents your brain from expanding, but how?
This bitch actually inferred that weed kills people
Sounds like she is trying to brainwash people lol
ALCOHOL is the real killer in this world wish they would ban alcohol
This ‘teacher’, guaranteed, has absolutely never been laid ..once… by anyone.
It’s not that difficult to quit wees within a week or so, as long as you’re giving your body and brain what it needs during the detox process. As long as you’re consuming the right things while you’re quitting, you won’t go through withdrawal, and will feel sharp, clear and motivated during the process. There’s this program mentioned in Nemery Thentel’s website that can help anyone control their habit.
i fucking love weed fuck you white peasants
I agree vapeing marijauna is very bad for you which is why I no longer smoke the carts but smokeing marijuana the normal way is the best
Hello reptilian I see you are trying to prevent humans from becoming their God self.
Ok so if I start vaping and decide I want to stop am I fucked for life, like if I stop it’s not gonna mess up my brain things forever right
