    I have a feeling the price is not a low dose cost. Same price, less product.



  2. Edward Smith on April 2, 2022 at 6:37 pm

    Hit the bowl once if you don’t want to get stoned. Why is that so hard to figure out?

    I have been smoking canibus for 45 years. Stronger the better for me. But etables get me to laid back.



  13. Caleb Geater on April 2, 2022 at 6:43 pm

    I can’t wait till I’m old enough to smoke weed



  14. Jose Hernandez on April 2, 2022 at 6:43 pm

    I like low dose. I hate smoking it so I go with eating it. lol Having exact dosages are perfect for me as it allows me to dose based upon my pain levels. I use it for ankle and low back pain. Some days I just want to be reduced in pain but functioning and other days I take more when I am in pain. I do not like getting stoned. Hell, I have been sloppy drunk only 5 times in my 47 years. Of course the learning curve the first few days was harsh and I got so stoned I almost missed the toilet to poop in the morning. Tried 5 mg no effect after 3 hours, tried 10 mg more no effect, kept this up till I was tired (started at 10 AM went to bed at 11 PM.) Alao found out that what I assumed was a dose of one gummy for 5 mg turned out was 10 mg….. Went to bed after 70 mg doses for my first time. Woke up at 6AM so stoned it was not funny. Started a panic attack but knew that could happen so I just forced myself to chill and breath knowing it could happen. Now my body got use to it and it kicks in around 20 to 40 min (empty stomach/full stomach) at low doses. For me 5 mg is a fully functional no issues, 10 mg I avoid driving, 15 mg staying home and sleeping. lol



  15. Rozpierdylka on April 2, 2022 at 6:49 pm

    The guy’s voice is just like Matt Jones’ who played Badger in Breaking Bad. This.. strangely fits this video’s subject

  22. Victor Mashatt on April 2, 2022 at 6:55 pm

    Alcohol can be hard on your liver. Small dose cannabis is better as you relax without getting high.



  23. Russell Mania on April 2, 2022 at 6:55 pm

    Pure beauty does make some cbd thc flower that is just perfect to clear your head and not get too high.

  28. Bill Dunn on April 2, 2022 at 7:02 pm

    I used to be able to get 500 to 1000 mg chocolate bars then the uneducated US government stepped in now I can’t get nothing more than 100 mg I’ve been smoking for over 50 years and I’ve been told by the Cannabis bureau if I need 500 to 1,000 mg I should eat 5 to 10 bars if you’re a diabetic that’ll kill you with all that sugar but they don’t care, it’s all about money to them, I traded opiates for edibles then they took them away so now have to make my own screw the government



  29. moonwalker2 on April 2, 2022 at 7:03 pm

    Damn what a fad. It’s a tradition Indians smoked in their piece pipe , the cool rappers smoke it , the hillbillies and country boys been growing and smoking it for years, the Mexicans and south Americans been growing and smoking it for years it’s just traditional RIGHT 👍 what ever you gotta tell people to sell it RIGHT 👍 it’s just natural right. So is poison ivy roll some $$$$$$$$just like the pills in the early 90s make bank getting everyone hooked and another 20yrs make bank getting everyone to stop. What is this a Russian owned business🤔🤔🤔🤔❤️🌎✌️



  40. Kooka Munga on April 2, 2022 at 7:15 pm

    I usually purchase cannabis anywhere from 16 % thc to 26 % thc . Some of the less potent smokeable cannabis tastes better than the real potent stuff . I don’t like getting totally baked all the time either so sometimes I prefer lower dose stuff sometimes.



  41. Nick Woudwyk on April 2, 2022 at 7:16 pm

    its low dose at the bottom of the jar



  42. Scott y on April 2, 2022 at 7:17 pm

  43. John Vargas on April 2, 2022 at 7:17 pm

    I hope we can decriminalize the cannabis use in Puerto Rico and it could be two recreational I wish they can make it legal to grow it in my country Puerto Rico it’s part of US Territory but it has difference between them



  44. Andrew Frost on April 2, 2022 at 7:20 pm

  47. Old Man Patriot on April 2, 2022 at 7:23 pm

    I want to leave a comment for the good people out there suffering in pain and depression… For the people that back in their youth smoked on a regular basis but then had to grow up and conform to Nancy Reagan’s ""Just Say No"" campaign.. This is who this comment is gear toward..

    I grew up in the Projects of Illinois.. (low income housing),, My brother and I were poor white kids being raised by their mother who worked full time and put herself through school.. Sperm donor was never around. hard feelings there so dont ask.. But I wanted to give this description because its not just black and brown kids that are poor.. Poor does not care about your skin color.. you either have money or you dont.. we did not… Anyway,,, Being a young wild teenager in the 80’s we were completely anti establishment,, give the finger to the goober-ment and the cops.. Im still that way today although im a lot more constitutional minded now… My brother, all of our friends (who are life long) all got high with the weed of the 80’s… But as stated, once you hit 16,, you have to grow up and decide whether you are going to try and make it in corporate slavery or stay as a poor white, black or brown kid…. Well I tried to make a go of it,.. joined the military after working a million low wage jobs..

    Well the military was good to me as far as a step up in status and discipline,, but I was also deployed multiple times, injured, medivac’d and my back has never been the same since. Well in the earlier years after I got out of the military, the VA was at a point where they did not take care of me at all. Or any vet for that matter.. I complained about my pain and all they would do is, give me Ibuprofin and Physical therapy. Ive been to PT so many times I can teach it… The Iowa City VA would schedule CT scans and then cancel them and then act like I canceled them.. (thats right, Im a midwesterner) All those years I would drink vodka to kill the pain. It ruined jobs, and relationships… well, long story short,, I started refusing PT. I finally got my MRI after 17 years,, they found that I had stage 3 kidney cancer, a 2 inch mass in my liver, and a well defined spine injury that cannot be corrected by surgery.. Hmmm,, and they all thought I was faking it….

    Well I finally got pain meds, and I am a cancer survivor of 2 1/2 years now.. The mass in my liver was from drinking all those years but I should be ok as long as i stay away from alcohol.. But after a couple years of those pills,,, I noticed that they make you lethargic, and depressed.. Even with all my aliments,, I am the type of person that wants to be out doing stuff, not stuck on a couch.. I heard a lot of people saying that marijuana was good at killing pain, so I asked a friend of mine to get me some.. I thought it was the pot of my youth,,, Well, let me tell you,, that shit was soooo strong that I thought I was ODing.. No joke… well I finally came down and I did not like that at all.. So I tried smaller doses of it.. but I just did not like that feeling… The best way to describe it is ""Instant retard""

    Well come to find out which I did not know back in the day was,, There are 2 major strains that have different effects. Indica (in da couch) and Sativa which is a more energetic pot.. And thats the pot I remember.. My brother and I would get high and then clean the house for mom… Well thanks be to God that when I went to the dispensary, I told the lady all that I had experienced and she recommended this flower called Durban Poison.. I want to warn people that are searching like I did,, this is not yesterdays pot.. only 1 or 2 tokes is all you need and let me tell you,,, I cleaned the freaking house for 3 hours after just 2 hits… This is literally life changing… My mood was instantly uplifted,,,, My wifes biggest complaint over the years was ""You dont laugh anymore""… Not only does she get to hear my laugh but she has a husband that cleans the house.. My wife is a professional executive, so needless to say, there is a lot of hesitancy with not wanting to be associated with marijuana…. She is the bread winner and if she lost her job, well,, we would be ruined.. But after seeing how it has changed my life,, she is completely on board as long as I keep it discrete..

    In conclusion I want to say that if you have never suffered in pain for years,,,, And I dont mean, stub your toe, or have a paper cut pain,,,,, Suffering from major pain can be intellectually, emotionally and mentally maddening,, Although Im thankful to have pain meds for really bad days,,, It does not even come close in comparison to how marijuana has changed my life for the better…

    I will forever be a proponent for FULL LEGALIZATION… Its time to take the power away from corporations that has stolen our ability to self medicate with the medicine that God gave us… Time to end the suffering world wide…

    Now go listen to Sweetleaf from Black Sabbath and toke up your favorite bud…



  48. Tech King on April 2, 2022 at 7:23 pm

    Yeah that’s the problem with illegal weed is you either get some extremely strong weed or some CBD bud that does almost nothing….We need weed that’s lower in THC and higher in CBD that still gets you a little bit high….



  49. Clayton on April 2, 2022 at 7:25 pm

    Yea the stuff out there nowadays is to potent for me, I’m from the Colombian seed weed era,,every once in a while some no seed sense would come around,,nowadays there is mostly zombie weed ,,I caint smoke it,,need some good ole fashioned regular weed,,just a buzz,,not walking in circles



  50. Timothy H on April 2, 2022 at 7:33 pm

    MAYBE ILL JUST GET A LITTLE HIGH
