Cannabis does not cause psychosis. In London, many drug dealers mix cannabis with other substances to make it more potent and addictive. If cannabis was legalised, it would be sold pure, therefore it would be safe.
Free the weed ✊🇬🇧
Rejoice not that the spirits are subject unto you, but rather that your names written in heaven for believing in Faith. If you have to use anything!! & are struggling with addiction!! the holy scriptures will help you even just sing worship songs. Don’t give up on yourself Yah is the life. Yah is mercy & strength made perfect in weakness. ABBA Father loves you just for loving him. By turning to his knowledge & word irregardless of your situation you can be saved if your seeking after him. Love & light of the lamb of Yah x
”’skunk – cannabis” LMAO thats how you know these people have zero idea about this topic
What a load of 💩
Needs to be legalised to control the product making it less dangerous. People aren’t going to stop using cannabis just because it’s illegal
Legalise cannabis and psychedelics.
A correct and informed opinion on the topic! How refreshing. Stark contrast between what this dude says and the "official" narrative.
As soon as someone says Skunk cannabis they prove they know absolutely nothing about the subject and shouldn’tbe speakingabout it. They are so far behind the times it’s ridiculous and frankly embarrassing.
Only if its abused like anything in this world really. Those most at risk are those under 25ish as it can have side effects on the brains makeup whilst its still developing. Enough of the stigma and follow Canada’s model it works and we dont see a mas exodus of head cases running around……other than those in the political class of course.
Underdeveloped brains people under 18 are higher risk also the strength of cannabis has increased 10 fold thc cannabonoid balance is no longer there due to demand of a better highs legalising would help but opens door to more consumption perhaps there could be a register for employers to see they might not want their employees stoned on the job perhaps that could kerb increased use
No its not safe, I no for a fact puff cause mental health problems.
Even if it does, it’s only because it’s been in the black market for so long. If it had been legalised and regulated properly from the beginning you wouldn’t of seen it’s strength spike.
Also they claim mental health when my experience is that it chills you out and let’s you view how bullshit our society is. That’s what makes people go crazy, the realisation of the sheer corruption in this world
Lmao this is Bullshit. The radical communist dictator politicans cause 99% of psycosis
You can breed cannabis with much lower THC levels that has a very positive effect on people. Just legalise it but lower the THC level to 2%.
I’ve smoked cannabis daily for 30 yrs.. it’s safe.. psychosis is caused from mixing drug’s
Fake news
"up to"
"could"
And just because someone had smoked it doesn’t mean its the cannabis that caused their problems.
The reason cannabis is illegal is because it has no medical value that has been debunked 10-15 years ago so now only reason it’s illegal is big pharmaceutical can’t make money from a plant
Everyone I know who smoked cannabis appeared a bit slow to respond when I spoke to them, even when not in the act of smoking it.
Cannabis is an extremely strong drug and should NEVER EVER be legalized!
skunk is just a strain of cannabis. i know they dont use the word strain anymore. but it was the strain developed in the uk by our own government….
Ths guy looks lik be smokes too much weed I’m sorry
All this talk of decriminalisation is fine in isolation. The local dealer and user smokes weed around his kids in his garden, is that ok?
As a small-time prepper, I have about two month’s worth of food in the house, and about a year’s worth of green.
Psychosis comes from the strength of the Cannabis. Some strains are %40 THC. Teenagers underdeveloped minds can’t handle it.
If I was arguing for anything I defo wouldn’t have said trudeau 🤣🤣🤣
We will shut down schools and force kids to stay at home to avoid the minutest chance of getting an illness that barely affects them, but people want us to legalise a substance that does massive harm to youngsters….hmmmm…
Oh please, cannabis does not commonly cause psych issues.
I agree with this guy, making it more difficult just increases the price. The cost to the government to completely eliminate it would be astronomical and involve serious restrictions at borders, electricity monitoring for growers etc. Any time there has been a big bust all it did was put the price up and then more people get interested in supplying it.
Not sure. I know an awful lot of stoners who ended up on Pysch wards or committing suicide. And the rest of the stoners I knew became serious addicts, or violent.
So despite many ppl saying it’s harmless not my particular observation.
That’s interesting, so the rest of the world is wrong then? Oh wait, maybe it’s the London scene mixing it with crap! If you legalised it, it wouldn’t be in the hands of criminals. Everywhere else in the world it’s been legalised/decriminalised has seen positive benefits from the scheme. This psychosis bollocks has no basis in science or reality.
Islam is the pyschosis epidemic in London
The other 2/3 was caused by the drug policy. 🤣
If a cannabis user has to go to a dealer to buy it, they will also be introduced to harder more dangerous drugs. The government encourages this through their inaction. Despicable.
Creating a legal market does not automatically erase a criminal market.
But why would someone choose to buy from a criminal, and put themselves at risk of exploitation and arrest, if a legal alternative was available? How many people choose to buy their beer/wine/gin from a bloke in an alley rather than their local supermarket?
No, it’s the strongest drug you can take! It ruins your brain.
"the really strong stuff" can we get this dork cancelled off of GB he is gunning to ban the top shelf and get rid of spirits .
Legalise it then I and grow my own
Don’t smoke weed but do indulge in experimental medical procedures.
Lol
All these people against it have never tried it. Every weekend there are thousands of violent offences committed under the influence of alcohol so why isnt that illegal.
I personally think that LEGAL drug camps are a good idea.
Imagine a camp, where you have trained security, who have been specifically trained on guarding that specific kind of event.
It may be a cocaine event, or an LSD event, etc etc etc… All participants would have to sign disclaimers, have relevant medical information checked, be searched, and would need to agree to stay at the venue for a certain amount of time, depending on the drug, until debriefed and sent on their way, with any medical suggestions or advice necessary…
All in all, this would create A SHIT LOAD of jobs. And whilst doing the drug would be more expensive, it would also be way more classy, safe and comfortable, no need for the involvement of criminals either. Most importantly, the risks would be very well managed. If something were to go wrong at the camp, the police could be immediately told, and before you know it, everything is handled almost entirely as normal. Addictions would occur far less. There would be more things to do in general, which never hurts.
Things like weed, could be a simple matter of something like 4-5 hours cool-off period required, where you can go sit in an area with wifi, coffee lounge, shops, just not allowed to leave unless there is an emergency, otherwise you get a strike against your record for the place, which would work kind of like a license maybe…
Just spit-balling but it seems like it could be pretty useful idea if someone smart did something with it.
Lies. Cannabis (properly grown and not cash-cropped before it’s matured) produces its own antipsychotic compounds during the last 3 weeks of flowering.
If it’s causing psychosis it’s either harvested too early or it’s sprayed.
And that IS A FACT.
Malta also legal
Everyone Grow your own F##k the GOV they got there own big grow rooms
Utter bullcrap
WTF is up with this video title????
The ignorance that still remains around this subject today is a absolute joke, 2022 and people are still believing it causes psychosis. I’m not really finding the stupidity funny anymore as this world is getting more and more worse but yet we still have ignorant hypocritical people who still believe this stupid false information. Absolute joke, wake up were in 2022 not 1992. Please just wake up already 😫 honestly.
Cannabis does not cause psychosis. In fact alcohol abuse increases your likelyhood to get psychosis.
COULD. Isn’t.
And alcohol?
