    Just. Don’t. Do. Drugs.



  7. Matthew C on June 4, 2021 at 7:51 pm

    Yeah, let’s ban everything because some people don’t like it. Make all drugs available after consultation with a doctor or nurse, who clearly explain the negative effects. Over 21 only. People can also choose high CBD/THC when legal; not so if buying off the street. The gateway drug garbage has been ENTIRELY debunked, so I’m not going to waste time on that. It’s also very clear that alcohol is much worse in nearly all respects. Tobacco too, of course, especially damage to the body and extremely addictive nature. Pot is much more benign.

    Curious how society has decided that abortion is OK because women have the right to control their own bodies, yet people who prefer marijuana or any drug for that matter are thrown in prison and in some ocuntries like Phillipines, even executed. Stop telling people what to do with their own bodies and the hypocrisy of allowing alcohol but no other drugs proven to be far less dangerous.

    Personally, I don’t like pot and the way it makes me feel. I’m just tired of people who have no idea what they’re talking about posting thoroughly debunked arguments.

  12. TraxisOnTheLines on June 4, 2021 at 7:55 pm

    It’s so incredible how well you define the argument, explaining in detail exactly why people are opposing it, without missing or neglecting facts, and yet still have the ability to debate against it in a logical and successful way. This is exactly how a debate should be handled. Great job as usual, Kuzgesagt.



  13. Sir Neko on June 4, 2021 at 7:57 pm

    Yeah, I love this high potent sh#* lol. To be fair it seems like CBD still has its own popularity. So I don’t see it going away or anything.



  14. Nobody everyone on June 4, 2021 at 7:58 pm

    I don’t know about regulating the thc amounts just like you can buy hard liquor and go get alcohol poisoning legally I should have the right to put my @ss in a 20 hour sleep coma.

    Me as a Mexican, the problem are not the consumers, instead are the dealers, a lot of people that are in the “carteles” is forced to join because of poverty, if the mariguana is legalized what are going to do those armed criminals? Well, they are going to start kidnapping and others worse crimes, legalized the mariguana doesn’t mean peace for Colombian and Mexican people

    People like you in this world is why the world will never move forward. They’re is absolutely no permanent side effects or deficiencies that marijuana has. Every drug needs to be legalized if people are going to start to learn anything about drugs. This entire world depends on the internet to explain things to them when they have no idea that the government or whatever you wanna call it puts 99.99% of facts about drugs in the dark web. Marijuana is a natural drug that increases your emotions that’s it. It’d not a strong drug. If it was it would be unnatural and would suppress the part of your brain that recycles your emotions witch can lead to Permanent damage to your serotonin, dopamine, and other chemicals. Marijuana is like going for a hike or watching a movie. In joying life is a high as much as marijuana high is. If you don’t want side affects don’t overdose on marijuana then again you can and it will only make you forgetful witch is never permanent. Theirs to many people like this guy in this video that depend on the internet on finding facts about drug when their is none. The only way to learn about drugs it to take them and experiment yourself.

  22. DVAK X on June 4, 2021 at 8:02 pm

  31. Elidor Zeltser on June 4, 2021 at 8:15 pm

    Some people really care about the law,and won’t buy something from strangers on the street , so legalise it, will expose it to some people who never use it otherwise, and should not use it.



  32. Darklysm on June 4, 2021 at 8:17 pm

    bullshit libshit tier video



  33. Steven Cook on June 4, 2021 at 8:19 pm

    Legalizing marijuana pros

    No more street dealers
    No more risk of having your weed laced with other illegal drugs
    No more shooting just because a deal went bad so no more innocent people getting shot in the streets for mo reason



  34. Leslie Divine on June 4, 2021 at 8:20 pm

    I was addicted and then I was not. I think it was a matter of; Do I really want to be doing the same things, or just move on? I do it once in a while, it helps me recalibrate and center myself when I need it.

    What? I need weed to watch all these wonderful videos lol



  37. Einar Th on June 4, 2021 at 8:23 pm

    It’s weird how people disagree with the video based on their experiences. This video is not an opinion, it’s based on facts, and everything that wasn’t a guarantee was noted with propability or an uncertainty.



  38. mcAfee on June 4, 2021 at 8:24 pm

    WATCHING ON THE HIGH



  39. robin sonesson on June 4, 2021 at 8:24 pm

    Why ain´t there any referenses to the studies?



  40. Warren -•_•- on June 4, 2021 at 8:26 pm

    yeah I understand the concept of showing new ideas to someone. but this video says it is about Marijuana arguments for remaining illegal then is actually a video shadowing doubt on every argument and then just sayin at the end it should be legalized instead of giving the viewer the arguments and just letting them think. Throughout the video it is obvious that is their own bias and they claim as such. while the other video created about arguments for being legalized gives no shadows of doubt on the subject and as that is a video about CONVINCING you that it should be legalized it says as much at the end. but this video out of the two doesn’t want to convince you otherwise, just tries to glorify one side and cast doubt on the other. which I love all of Kurzgesagt’s videos but this is a problem when you claim to be unbiases and give a valid argument for both sides while your opinion seeps through showing bad journalism



  41. Maga Land Bros on June 4, 2021 at 8:29 pm

    its legal tho cant make sumething stay illegal if it was legal in the first place



  42. Ahzrukal on June 4, 2021 at 8:29 pm

    the gateway drug argument makes kinda sense but is really stupid at the same time. the first contact for illegal drugs for most people is with weed. due to it being illegal you are forced to engage with the black market for drugs. most dealers don’t just sell one drug so people can easily ask their drug dealers if they have anything else and that’s how easy it is. in berlin we even have a big park where most of the visitors are just dealers or buyers. they offer anything from weed to methamphetamines over to heroin. so weed being a gateway drug is true in some cases but it is only true because it is illegal.
    in germany our politicians often have no brain and they like to claim that they want to keep weed illegal to protect the youth and the children. this is an argument which is supposed to pull on the heart strings of older people (the party with the most votes is the christian democratic union which is mostly voted by old people and they are starting to lose votes fast because their supporters just die off and most of the younger generations just hate them). i started doing heroin when i was 17 and it was easier to get than a bottle of vodka. when they have press conferences you can see that they don’t even make the effort to come up with arguments anymore because they can just do what they want and don’t have to listen to the opinion of the people at all. this is why nobody votes for them except the old people who just vote for them because they have always done it that way. in a few years the CDU will be near extinct and germany can hopefully move on from their bullshit.



  43. Justin Barnes on June 4, 2021 at 8:31 pm

    You can give the video a pass since it’s pro legalization, but seriously, they should make another video that demonstrates that not a single concern of anti-marijuana supporters has been validated by statistics in places it’s legal.

  47. Stotts on June 4, 2021 at 8:42 pm

    I don’t think alcohol, cigarettes or any non medicinal drugs should be legal

    First&Last: It’s a drug unless you don’t use it for medical reasons



  49. Han Welvaarts on June 4, 2021 at 8:44 pm

    Reason number 4:

    I used to smoke weed every day. I lit one up after waking up, one in the afternoon and then in the evening again. I am completely clean now for 6 months, but I can tell you that the worst thing about marijuana addiction is not physical, psychosis, or society related. The worst is that it kills your motivation. It makes you okay with doing absolutely nothing- which causes feelings of failure and will definitely lead to depression in the long run. If you smoke as much as I did, you will feel like your in a constant ‘dream’- or a very vague state of being. It’s a never ending loop, because when you feel sad about that you didn’t do anything again or that you are sad because all your dreams feel so far out of reach: you light up a joint again and in an instant, you are relaxed and forget everything you were worrying about.

    It is so hard to quit, mainly because the drug is so widely accepted. If you smoke a lot, chances are 99% that almost all your friends do too. If everyone in your surroundings smokes weed, you will get in contact with it way more often than you normally would. And because it feels so normal, also your friends say "Oh it’s fine bro- smoking weed ain’t bad. Probably everyone smokes weed, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t".

    It’s exactly this that keeps you in the addiction. How many times have my friends said: "Oh bro, I really should smoke less. I think I will quit now", only to end up being high af with you again a couple of days later. Anyways, for me this was the biggest reason to quit. Half a year later now and I feel way more awake, I have more energy, passed my semester and started a business. If you read this and want to quit too: Do it. It is possible and it is absolutely worth it. If I can do it, so can you.

    1 Argument Why Marijuana Should Stay Illegal:
    • It stinks worse than three skunks in a confined and I don’t wanna be smelling that in the street any more often than I have to
