that was terrible ouch
Cannabis was first abused, in liquid form, by worshippers of Shiva trying to destroy the universe. It spread to Persia, where it was used by Shia to brainwash the Assassins into committing murders. Aleister Crowley then used it to drug his cult into being unable to resist his acts of vampirism on them. The truth is *more* disturbing than any movie.
Bullsittery…
Rollin up one as i watch
it really isn’t bad alcohol is worse than weed
Idk lol I do think weed is a gateway drug getting high on anything is a gateway drug
If I was going on a double date I wouldnt need weed lmao
I honestly think there are fewer people not smoking to this
3 for a buck is a great deal
3 joints for a buck
That was awesome. I’m high right now.
Yet everyone took pills drank and smoked cigs
The last I checked a bottle of rum can kill you. While a fat pillow lf weed leaves u warm, happy, and tired.
Most of you don’t even see the forest for the trees. Wake up GOD’S children. All you know are lies/liars and YOU ARE the biggest one.
Thats how our society thinks about pot in Germany😐
Let me try..
Does’nt look dangerous to me
Sad thing is that many people still believe this…
Can’t watch this video without laughing
3 joints for a 1 what world are this kids livening in I wish I new some one that had those prices
Much truth in this. Weed makes its user into a slave.
Lol weeks later they came up with the idea to break bottles and drink from them 😂
I’m kinda impressed when they said they were going to rehabilitate him in alittle to no time to compared life sentences we usually hear about.
This is hilarious 😂😂
DID HE SAY 3 FOR A BUCK!?!? JESUS!!!
The truth isn’t at the extremes. Some people do experience negative consequences from pot. Sometimes it’s later in life.
Good ol harmless cigarettes lol
this is what my mom thinks weed does smh
Meth was a real rx drug for depression at this time. Tf was wrong with people
Me with my bong rn
Ima smoke weed while watching this to disrespect the video
If Americans were all hooked on weed, they would have lost WWII
Wow
I spent 3 years addicted mind, body, and soul to methamphetamine. It smoked it, snorted it, and always shot it. I had abused nearly everything other than heroin. And I am now 100% clean and sober. One thing remains – my pack a day smoking habit. For those who liked weed (I personally did not) it’s all they still crave. I know many who no longer think about heroin but thoughts of marijuana are pervasive in their minds. I speak from first hand experience and wisdom, yet only being 21 years old. It’s all bad – some is just worse. Yes the meth was worse than the cigarettes are and that’s why I still smoke and don’t feel too bad. But it’s still killing me with hundreds of known carcinogens.
I’m 13 and weed makes me snooze and hungry nun else 😋
Pwahahahahahahaha what horseshite
My mother used to keep Paragorha medicine in the fridge to rub on my sisters gums when she was teething. I loved the stuff….Morphine based lol
1950: Smoke Cigarets! Weed is a drug, that’s bad!
2020: Cigarets KILL, but we legalize weed! What you gonna do now?
Doc: Marty!! I again need to back to the future!
Still rings true today.. with heroin and sometimes marijuana cigarette smoking too. Mostly bath salts doh..
Isn’t this in a capital STEEZ song ?? Rip steelo
3 for a dollar? Now that’s a deal
I don’t think that the Medical or even Recreational Purposes of Marijuana is Addictive or Unhealthy, at all. It was only a Flowering-Herb, kinda just misinformed.
1:40 several weeks later while smoking reefers
Meanwhile, doctors are prescribing meth, as the pharmacist are giving it to psych patients right down the street from where they are recording the p.s.a.
Can you grow weed better in a oldschool polio polo machine i still have my great grandfathers.
Funny marijuana song
Im watching this while high lol.
Legalize it everywhere!💚💨
We tend to forget what we smoke now is not what they smoked in the 70s and what they had in the 70s is not what they had in the 40s. Makes me wonder if bud was actually this different back then.
The think dawin was at work here not weed.
Weed is gud but limet not overdose drugs nd alcahol baned….
