Anxious, paranoid...See. This is exactly what weed does to me. I hate taking Xanax.!! But. Marijuana causes me to become very anxious and nervous, hold my breath and completely paranoid. I would love to be able to eat an edible and relax, be chill around at least my family. I have emphysema and COPD. Can't smoke it. Hurts my chest. My kids smoke weed and tell me all the time "Mom, smoke a little with us and try to chill." But I do not like the ill effects it has on me! Any suggestions. Even as a teenager. I faked smoked with my friends ...to this day they still do not know that .
I mean. He wasn’t lying. Lol. Mighta took awhile. But it relaxes you, but not entirely. So a little is very accurate for someone who took that much his first time can coherently determine his actual state. Can’t do that on alcohol.

@@johnsmith2797 the only people that develop psychosis already have underlying mental health conditions. And it is still far below the amount of people who experience negative effects from alcohol, including addiction, physical dependance, and deadly withdrawal.
In 1972, I spoke with a fellow employee who had just recently been released from the Florida prison system. He spent seven years on a chain gang building roads in the Florida swamps, all for the crime of possessing two MJ joints. He was a broken man. His time in prison did him more harm than any consumption of MJ could have done.
That sucks. The stories like this are far too many. Too many of these kinds of scenarios with 'one or two joints' were set-ups by crooked cops, especially in small town rural areas where you had no recourse. 😡
@@JohnHarris-ri4ev it’s also the fact that he ingested it orally which means he technically was given an edible and it’s now known that the thx is broken down into another molecule which gives you a stronger and longer lasting high than if he’d actually smoked the 3 joints
It's still a drug, so you need to treat it with respect: no operating heavy machinery, no driving cars, etc. Basic stuff. One thing is for sure though: it's way less harmful than alcohol to your body, and way less harmful to society than alcohol.
Agreed...once you get it dialed in it does fing wonders for all kinds of ailments...we grow sativa leaning hybrids because the cbds decrease the amount of seizures my son has
@@Six2106 when weed was illegal and you went to court they didn’t say you had 6 joints or blunts in your possession, they said 6 marijuana cigarettes. Same with the medical profession, they don’t use slang words to describe marijuana rolled up to look like a cigarette.
They knew Evan back then that THC would destroy big pharmaceutical companies, and they did everything they could to keep any positive information from us. This plant helps so many of us in so many different ways. Legalize it.
True for weed is one of the best remedies for mankind, it literally can cure cancer have witnessed this first hand. The goverment doesn't want cures it wants profits and there is not much profit in cures. Is biblical truth that "plants are remedies" given to us by God to naturally heal. Just like alcohol there is a line between using it for medical use or being a drunkard as a person that smokes all day for fun is just that a drunkard. Plus if it's legal this cuts out the cartels of the south to where the local economy can benefit from it being legal so as to stop funding the cartels for where there is a will there is a way, anyone can find anything in any city if they really want even after trillions of tax dollars spent for decades to stop the flow. If a person wants a buzz there is nothing stopping them from getting one and it is better they smoke than drink or use other hard-core substances as weed is not addictive or deadly like all the others are. A person can get a buzz and die from huffing paint or gas yet they are nit illegal. The hatred for this plant is from pure indoctrination like the reply above this for they do not know the truth as they believe whatever msm has told them. You can grow a plant for dang near free in your yard and cure yourself or have the meds you need or pay a fortune to take pills for life. I knew a guy that had medical issues that was on hard-core pills like oxycotton and other pills he was taking daily that use to tare up his gut and made it hard to eat and sleep, he found out about Simpson oil and tried it, he nolonger takes those wicked pills and takes only the oil which cured his pains appetite and sleep issues. Alcohol is way worse yet the hypocrits don't care because it doesn't fit their indoctrinated beliefs, have seen a man pee on other men thinking them a toilet, beat their wives or children, drive into others on the road or into things like trees do to being drunk, never have I seen in all my years a person do these things while stoned. To support the legalization of alcohol yet not weed is pure ignorance and hypocritical. I guess they just like supporting the satanic cartels.
@@onward8231 Cannabis is not just THC, CBD and many other cannabinoids work synergistically to provide medical and recreational benefits. No one is encouraging children to use cannabis unless it is to treat a medical condition or symptoms of a condition, such as certain types of epilepsy or muscle spasticity. THC and CBD has been shown to halt and even reverse cancerous cell growth. Do you drink alcohol or smoke tobacco?
@@onward8231 I think it should be used sparingly but adults without mental issues. THC can exacerbate mental issues, especially in children. I think it should be federal legal however, as the war on drugs is a waste or resources, and publicly promote that THC is dangerous to minors.
Even at 70s weed strength, I have never seen anyone down 3 joints in quick succession by themselves. It's like they tried to make him overdose, but he just got happier. This man is going to need an extra large pizza and a 2 day sleep. EDIT: I didn't literally mean overdose, was just a figure of speech. Also, I'm sure many of you could smoke 3 joints but he seems to be a lightweight toker. He's on a nice trip :-)
It's all about mindstate, he was in a safe environment being given this by a doctor and also it was one of his first times so he didn't have much to fear, when you're young you can "just go with it" and not overthink things and give into fear, as you get older the fear and anxiety creeps in.
don’t put yourself in a box because that isn’t true at all…i’m a certain the amount he took and given he wasn’t an avid user the “thought”of conducting any sort of “business “ at that point …you might be surprised to find out many avid marijuana users are also entrepreneurs 😉
@nottellin548 I've been an avid marijuana user. I'm far more creative and have my best ideas. What I'm not is business like. Consider context of business like. 9 to 5. Office work. Mundane tasks. Following instructions. Just as you're certain of the amount he was given, I'm certain the reference to business was 9 to 5 work and I'm certain he was referring to that. Here's your box back. 📦
You say that like it's a bad thing. If it lowers the productivity of society, that's bad for society. If it lowers the productivity of an individual, that's often bad for the individual as well.
Isn't it wild how people with real experience and street knowledge sometimes know more than doctors and scientists? Once seen where a doctor tried to say the resin people scrape from their pipes is purely placebo which is complete bullshit because I still get high asf and munchies off smoking resin.
An intense feeling of detachment... exactly what we all need from time to time. It gives us a chance to stop playing the game, take a real look at ourselves, and be part of reality for a while.
Word. There's two scenarios where it's best for me. 1) hanging with friends and joking around, 2) smoke and lay in bed for 3 hours thinking about my life and slowly drift to sleep. A few times a week is great.
Nah bro I’ve smoked weed for years and Towards the end of my journey with it I started to notice serious damage. To my memory, speech, general mindset and much more. The drug is only good in the moment. The problem starts when it becomes necessary to make the moment bearable. It is a distraction at best.don’t lie to yourself. The only people who smoke weed and enjoy it are people with time to do so. And the majority of those people exchange productivity for that time they have to smoke.
I don't think it's a wonder drug. There's risks. I think it's good to show some restraint or else it will take over your life. For example, I noticed that sometimes I'll be studying a complicated subject and if I think about it when high, it'll will all click and be understandable. In a way, this is good, and why I would have to disagree with some of your statements, though I understand that that happened to you. It's hard for me to figure out which factor in my life causes which results. It's why scientific experiments are always designed so that the variables are limited and isolated, and the observer is supposed to be unaware of whos in the experimental group and who's in the control group. We don't have the ability to do this with self-reflection. My life has had ups and downs with attention, focus, mood, anxiety levels and sometimes it's due to the external environment, sometimes it's due to unconscious factors that I am unaware of, sometimes it's due to how much thc I been ingesting. At the end of the day, it's cliche, but everyone is different. You must have found value in it at one time and then you moved on. Take care.
Even if those 3 'marijuana cigarettes' were low grade and low THC, that's an INSANE amount for a first timer... I had 3 puffs on a 15% THC joint and it knocked me into the couch laughing so hard at how I couldn't follow my own train of thought until I swore I poo'ed my pants and had to get up to check (luckily I did not poo poo).
Same thing happened to me!! But I thought I had peed myself. When I looked at my pants I did not pee...but I thought I did because I thought I couldn't feel my body!! 😂😂
That's exactly my experience getting stoned the first time hahaha! Can't even follow your train of thought, but wanting to go back to whatever you were JUST thinking about because it was cool, then laughing at how you can't do it because you know you're just stoned... And it's uncontrollable laughter, too.
Being able to obtain my medical marijuana card saved my life. I am a recovering addict and have been sober off Opiates and heroin for 5 years. I also been able to stop all antidepressents\anti anxiety meds. I would much rather take THC pills vs taking Xanax and other chemical comprised medications. I have also been able to start a career that I never thought possible.
He was right when he said they should have gotten an extrovert to display the effects on camera, we introverts keep everything in, even things we enjoy and especially in front of people and cameras. Also I love how the doctor was all for the positive effects and potential. I love watching how things used to be, we live in a weird world now.
Nah, he displayed all the effects just fine. Giggly, carefree, relaxed, we get the point. Also alot of extroverts become more introverted when they're high so it wouldn't matter much but obviously they didn't know that back in the day.
@@Ellenad369 Not true, most large commercial alcohol mostly beer would cause aggressiveness and chaos. There's large money behind that, they need workers to work for money these need to pay thing off. Some people would be aggressive with whatever is on their mind and will amplify many times.

It's always so beautiful to me hearing their descriptions of how it feels. Like unadulterated minds, you would think they wouldn't have the words but their simplicity compliments the reality so sweetly
Because - Heaven forbid - we find simple happiness without spending a ton of money. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it's very telling when you notice these patterns in society.
@Anon Ymous It's a matter of personal responsibility when it comes right down to it. My rules for THC are the same for alcohol: know your limits, don't go to work high/drunk, don't GET drunk/high at work, and don't drive drunk/high. My dad always said that if I were to drive drunk, I wouldn't have to worry about the police because he would kill me. I like to believe my dad was successful in creating a strong moral backbone for his kids, despite the many challenges. I count my blessings that I was taught responsibility in an age where that is quickly becoming less and less common. I've worked alongside quite a few older people who've had substance abuse problems, and another few younger ones who just don't care. It's honestly quite disheartening.
@Anon Ymous The US war on drugs has put us fifty years behind in research. The joint someone smoked on the weekend or even the night before (often to aid sleep) will not have a measurable effect on performance on regular users the next day. There are many legal, over the counter and prescription, meds that have a far more dangerous effect on employee's.
@@markallen8560"Drug use"? Even if you mean substance abuse, your opinion is based on well, I'm not sure, but it is not empirical evidence. It is not science. Nancy Reagan's horoscope findings perhaps. It's just such an arrogant statement. Do some research maybe.
I am a epileptic who's used thc and cbd as my medication for just over 4yrs now, and I'm 3 and a half year's without having one, the longest I've ever gone. And yet it is still extremely hard to find a doctor that would agree and prescribe it I happen to get very lucky. This Herb has many medicinal Uses In the form of an edible medication it works very similar to something along the lines of xanax and is much less harmful
My daughter is too after 2-1/2 years of experimenting with 4 different medications that none worked we finally convinced the doctors to try epidiolex so far so good seizures have dropped off completely for a few months now
I smell what you are cooking. Glad to hear you are doing better. I live in a very restrictive State & the only legal cannabis for years and years was only due to a severe medical exception. Most all patients at that time were people suffering from severe seizure episodes. To my knowledge the treatment was widely effective while also keeping patients off of dangerous chemical pharmacological agents. Keep on keeping on.
@kelly8107 THC absorbed thru the stomach gives you more of a hallucinogenic high vs. smoking it. That's why you always hear horror stories of people eating too much edibles for the first time. He was probably having a mild "trip".

When my Mom was receiving Chemotherapy she was so sick ..And even though she had lung cancer she could not stop smoking..Our state didn't prescribed medical pot,So I went and found her some!! She could smoke it and it was awesome for her nausea.... It bumped up her appetite helped so much with her pain and anxiety...Her 6 months turned into almost 2 year's.... Every extra day was a blessing... I truly believe the Herb made her illness less stressful !! It didn't cure her but it made the treatments a little easier and it gave her little more peace.. Without evil side effects.. I believe it should be legalized and monitored.. Like booze!! No driving under the influence
My uncle made it through 3 fights with cancer. He swore that THC is what helped him fight off the bad side effects of chemo. He unfortunately died in 2013, but he was a fighter. Cancer takes the life out of people but I believe that there's natural ways to ease the pain and unease of pharmaceuticals. Marijuana shouldn't be treated like a bad thing.

So true…they knew that far back, and still lumped it in with heroin…causing so many young people to get criminal records for no good reason. Unfortunately, because young people knew they lied about cannabis, many went on to more dangerous drugs because they didn’t believe they were any more harmful than a joint.

Ah yes, the perfect setting for being stoned. Sterile, uncomfortable room, doctors with long white coats giving you tests while standing over your shoulder, and some tubes and wires in the background. This would probably give me an anxiety attack even if I were sober, the way they are studying and analyzing him so intently. 100% for sure if they gave me a high dose of THC
the doctors are literally giving it to him which means they’re doing it legally so there would be nothing to be afraid of. plus when ur stoned u dont give a fuck
Nothing gives you anxiety, you give yourself anxiety, your mindset, lifestyle and diet influence anxiety, all of these start with your mind. Also certain injuries can contribute to anxiety too. But people act like anxiety is a disease, it's not. You don't "have" anxiety, you "feel" anxiety, that doesn't mean you have anything it's just a feeling stemming from something else in your mind and life. Quit being a victim of anxiety, stop doing things that cause you to be anxious, fix your Diet, sleep, exercise, hobbies, no more smoking etc... Do not let a doctor give you anxiety pills either, that's a scam and a religious dogma that you need pills for emotions , that's insanity
@@bagelz3359 ok, fair point, but I would like to point out that some psychological disorders like C-PTSD rewrite your brain chemistry, and I was also neurobiologically wired to someone who was dysregulated and unavailable, making my whole brain and body wiring system set up in a state where I did not have any stability or security, high cortisol environment. So I understand the sentiment, and for many people it simply is a case of improving daily habits and getting off social media, for some it is simply more complex. And that is not to say I have a victim mentality, or that I am a victim of anxiety and powerless to improve my situation. Quite the contrary, I have a lot of different tools and habits I use to help manage anxiety. But Rome wasn't built in a day, and complex long term issues take time to heal, and sometimes anxiety is still a struggle.
That professor in the end was spot on. Too bad it took so many years and so many ruined lives for this to be understood by most people/government in this country
I'm a Veteran myself and have benefitted greatly since my medical diagnosis that would be treatable because of valuable research into the medical benefits of THC and CBD.

haha, this is reminding me of the very beginning of the movie "Pineapple Express", where it goes back to the 1950's where you can tell angry and confused American military is experimenting by doing exactly this, dosing people with THC and observing the effects. So when the patient starts feeling the effects by laughing and calling the military generals embarrassing names, the generals get angry it's not the devils drug like they hoped but they deem it "ILLEGAL!!!!" anyways. Great movie.
It's amazing that after all these years it's still illegal in so many places. Nothing makes me content after a stressful day or even just enjoying a day out fishing like a little puff. I don't get stoned just a nice little relaxing toke that relaxes my body. Also helps me sleep when I have my occasional bouts of insomnia. Totally non addictive physically (I know some ppl develop mental addiction but that happens with all sorts of things), peaceful,calming,etc. Don't get me wrong I like a sip of single malt scotch occasionally as well but even it doesn't compare. I truly believe if anything had to be prohibited it should be alcohol.
I support the use of cannabis through and through but if u use it in excessive amounts your body will have withdrawals if u stop useing. I couldn’t sleep without jerking and twitching violently enough to wake up as soon as I fell asleep despite being extremely tired and fatigued. Also if I stop smoking theirs a huge chemical off balance that puts me into slight depression and I get really agitated very easily. I use it all day every day and consume at least 4 grams of high quality herb daily. It got me off alcohol that was ruining my life through dui’s and bar fights and almost a fatal crash due to a friend driving us drunk. Alcohol got me into so much trouble and made me an arrogant asshole and cannabis did the opposite. It allows me to relax and sort my thoughts. Slows down my brain that is always firing way to fast for me to control. Although I am addicted to cannabis without a shadow of a doubt… I can honestly say it made me a better person and I now care about others and things that I never thought twice about. Consuming large amounts of thc allows your mind to access dementions that you cannot stimulate otherwise. Turns on the inner self… the one that isn’t bound by ego or society’s perspectives. U will actually start to think for yourself and read through peoples b.s. fair warning…be around like minded people or they won’t get u or understand your perspective of things and u will distance yourself from closed minded people.
@@danieloakes6637 Cannabis is fat soluble and "detox" is not really the same as with other drugs. It's not a dependency to the drug the body is going through, it's a detoxification cycle to clear the fatty tissues. been through it MANY times myself. I too, did not do well with alcohol. I tried to be a "good drunk" and stay home and not drive, ended up smacking my head on the nightstand while going to bed. Alcohol causes gravity problems 😋. Not a safe drug for me. And I can be rather disagreeable on the stuff too, lol. And "addiction"? we're all addicted to a lot of stuff. Our economy is based upon it. And humans are very good at lying to themselves.
You need a puff after fishing? Seriously? Dude your addicted.....you might as well said "after a relaxing study in the library, I can't wait to get home and take a drag, to knock the edge off". Pure delusional.
Cannabis is one of the most important health foods on the Earth. This is not a joke at all. Just a 45 year old veteran who quit decades of toxic alcohol abuse and literally found his life again thanks to that plant.
i completely agree, my great uncle served in WW2 and his greatest enemy turned out not to be the germans or japanese, but the bottle. he was a hard drinker for most of his life, until he moved out to where i am, Seattle, and managed to get a hold on his drinking. he himself said it was the hardest thing he'd done in his whole life. he practically had to relegate himself to his room, as both being around children and being around lots of people made him want to drink, almost unbearably so. he still struggled decades after getting sober. i don't know if he ever smoked cannabis, but he still lives on in my memory as one of my greatest heroes, a man who truly sacrificed everything to overcome the evil in this world. sorry to type out this entire paragraph about that, just got reminded of him from your comment. it's going to be a decade since he passed away soon, and it nevee gets easier having someone that amazing missing from your life. also, thank you for your service, i don't like war or what the military does, but my respect for the people who have suffered through it is immense.
There is no drug that has no downsides. Marijuana just happens to be among the best positive to negative ratio ones. But some people do have negative effects on their lives. Laziness and forgetfulness probably being the worst though. Harmless enough side effects as is but can also lead to bad long-term outcomes.
@@stephenodubhlaoich those are both stereotypes from movies and media and the government. you would be amazed how many people are high all day working their asses off, doing skilled and dangerous work.

A lot of people have stress, because we live in a stressful world, and weed is a good treatment for a lot of people, without some of the nasty side effects of alcohol and prescription drugs.
Great video David. It is striking to see how slowly society has been to liberate this substance from its criminal status despite its overwhelmingly therapeutic effect for so many ppl
Some of the worst people I’ve worked with smoked pot not that they were bad people just mood swings happy in the morning grumpy all afternoon a bit dopey forgetful if there happy we’ll go for it
It takes one or two to make it illegal, they didn't look further and some took it off scale and abused it. Also, make it illegal so that people would be more controlled. While one person is high on thc, that one person can change the world.
@@GatileoGatilei Lots of weed then was way weaker, the real potency isn't from that it's because he ate it and didn't smoke it. Eating it turns it into a different stronger THC variant
true, but keep in mind that the weed that existed when this was filmed was much, much weaker than the kind we can get today (from 10-25% of the current strength of commercial weed)
And very likely with zero "tolerance" built up, too. If they ran this same experiment once per day over 5 days, by day 5 he'd be far (far!) less "high".
Lmao damn brother I was thinking the same thing!!! Back in the day I was more of a loratab and cocaine guy!! Just being honest, we have all done something right!!!
@unmaker But this wasn't weed, this was extracted thc much like dabs or rso and was likely 90% or more pure.Thc is still thc and wasn't weaker then the bud just had less in it. And ingesting it would only make it stronger.
@@Trahzy It was extracted yes, but they still gave him the equivalent of 3 joints worth of thc for their time, which is lesser than today. Ingesting it though obviously is stronger.

Thanks David Hoffman this was fascinating I love these old research documentaries and results of their experiment regardless of subject matter. as a kid I often wonder about the foods and drinks human digest someone had to be the first the person to try them. I knew some classmates in high school in the 1970's who did smoke marijuana as recreational use, somehow I manage to stay clear drugs as I was growing up.

Dr. Leo Hollister dosed Ken Kesey at Menlo Park in 1959-60 some years prior to this film. Hollister was a good human being & excellent researcher. He conducted extensive number of research studies on a massive number of substances which helped expand human knowledge of Psychopharmacology by significant measure! My research of Hollister shows he was far more important in drug research than he was EVER credited! Steven Szara knew him and was in fact interviewed by him in 1997 about Szara’s DMT research.
He's gave the writer's of Taxi, the Brother's Charles, the idea for the character Jim. He's also the father of the famous actor, co-star of "There Will Be Blood", and other films, Paul Dano.
3:38 - sounds like he was a stoner before this study, "never, never this amount" he has experienced weed before. 3:46 - "is it similar to but greater than the affects you got from marijuana (flower)" yeah, he's a stoner, he just never had a straight THC tincture before.
Whole lotta truth to what he said in the last couple minutes of the video…. 50yrs later we still have people in prison for marijuana related offenses, crazy!!
That alcohol in the dose sent the THC straight to the brain which would explain the extreme detachment. It stimulates the appetite because it increases metabolism.
As a older teen, I smoked pot occasionally and loved the way I felt so free bc I was so quiet and shy. My brothers would tell me to take two tokes bc I laughed so hard and made them laugh their butt off. Then once I smoked with someone else that must have laced with something bc I was so paranoid and I hadn't ever felt that way before. I never did any other drugs other than an occasional black beauty when I worked the grave yard shift in a factory But when my own kids were teenagers I always told them I had rather them smoke pot than drink alcohol. They did, however eventually do other drugs. One is an addict who struggles to stay clean. They grew up in the 80's when the D.A.R.E. program was taught. So I kinda feel like certain personalities are more prone to experiment with other drugs and some of those have addictive personalities so they are more likely to become addicts.
it wasnt laced you just got too high it happens to alot of people that dont smoke alot they get some extra strong weed and get really paranoid/anxious and think the weed was "laced"
"way too high blablablabla". Too much THC in ratio to CBD I would say. This plant is more complex than most most most people understand, even doctors and other scholars.
You are absolutely right, the LORD JESUS has helped me with my addiction to marijuana, and as someone who has destructive OCD, medically diagnosed, it 1000% is worse for those who have addictive personalities, even something like weed is super dangerous compared to normal but in general weed is bad because it's a sin.

Thank you David, This needs to be Surfaced again! We are constantly bombarded with miss information! Alcohol apparently After repeated testing is much more destructive.
Not only unhealthy but strongly inhibits decision making at high doses which if your a drinker (i am) its extremely difficult to not want to "maintain the buzz". The science has been in for a long time and its absolutely criminal what our government has done.
It’s interesting that that sense of detachment is essentially the partial death or numbing of the ego. The ego is less involved in my perception of reality. This is anecdotal of course, but it helps me to process information without the bias of ego. I’m extremely filled with and sensitive to negative emotion. I’ve always found that when I consume any THC product I lose that as I’m not concerned with self but develop a genuine interest in things outside of relieving my discomforts. I have and for the most part have always had depression as far as I can remember. The anxiety component is sometimes exacerbated but while I was on antidepressant and anti anxiety medication it was lead to an overwhelming sense of euphoria without the anxiety. Interesting stuff. Hopefully scientist keep digging into this stuff and hopefully one day can help develop ways to combat these things without the intoxicating effects. I don’t like getting super high. I can make a 1-1/4 joint last days. I just need relief from the burden of my ego.
I agree. Love lightening the weight of ego to allow spacious awareness. This looked condensed and crude, however very fair. Milligrams were an unknown quantity to us. Strange clinical trial... they did the best they could, I guess. Most important was your view on deeper self and losing ego. I've always experienced that as well. It's a facilitator to show what we already have within us, just a dimension untapped. We are trapped by society/ the rat race, but I'm holding out hope for this moment that we are moving in a sensible direction. Thanks for your post.
Thank you for your comment, you verbalise something perfectly that I've had no words to explain to myself for a while. Psychedelics have always helped give me and my alters distance from our emotional pain and bad memories (we have DID, CPTSD and other stuff diagnosed) and we process everything much better if we're on them. We can see things clearer and with a healthier perspective that isn't tarred by our ego getting mixed in. Sorry, I'm trying to say you're not alone and good on you for being 'self' aware. I wish you only peace and health for the future and that you continue to enjoy our good friend MJ :).
Very insightful. Thanks Mr Hoffman for posting this. I have learned so much from watching your videos you truly are ahead of your time. Im thankful for your insight to grab a camera 🎥
I was 21 in 1970, and whenever I would smoke a joint, I would laugh a lot 😂 at anything, and then I would get really hungry at which time I would buy a big bag of chips. It was a great time 😃🤣😂
Back in the early seventies at university a friend baked some "brownies" for me, the effect was marvelous euphoria for the first 15 minutes but it kept going higher and higher and I started feeling less and less self control. At the time we didn't know how much consuming THC as opposed to smoking it multiplied the intensity. I started feeling queasy and dizzy and couldn't stay upright so my friend took me to the university student clinic where I laid down and became very sick, moaning and vomiting up the brownies . . .I still remember the nurses looking at me disdainfully, with no sympathy whatsoever, apparently they were used to this situation with students.
its so strange how nurses can be so judgmental. it seems to me like a lot of people just in general stopped caring about their job. its like after the plandemic everyone just wants to do the bare minimal and get home to relax.
It was because of DuPont, they didn't want competition. Instead of making plastic from oil / a pollutant we could use hemp and marijuana to make biodegradable clothes, plastic, clothing, building materials , fuel and so much more. So the propaganda against it was all planned by big corporations and our own government. Plus it help with medical issues and can be grown easily / cheap. Naw big pharma didn't like that either. So people go to jail instead of using it to help not only the people but our environment also. You may be able to find the documentary
I feel like I've about hit middle age lately. It's interesting to me the feelings I now have about the world and people, having experienced actual change over time with many topics. For looking at comments, in other places, of people younger than me saying things like "I remember when..." and that was like 6 years ago and NOT a long time ago! It makes me laugh a little but then I also appreciate it because I am happy that they are having their own experiences, and in time will probably feel where I'm at too. I can only imagine what it is like for people even more seasoned than I am. This is just one of the reasons I really like these videos. This marijuana topic change is still in progress though, of course.
At the end what that professor said was totally true and he even somewhat predicted the future, in saying that making young adults criminals is doing more harm then the actual drug, which resonates in todays world, they take away a lot from people especially financially when they are going up against the state

In 1972, I spoke with a fellow employee who had just recently been released from the Florida prison system. He spent seven years on a chain gang building roads in the Florida swamps, all for the crime of possessing two MJ joints. He was a broken man. His time in prison did him more harm than any consumption of MJ could have done.

They knew Evan back then that THC would destroy big pharmaceutical companies, and they did everything they could to keep any positive information from us. This plant helps so many of us in so many different ways. Legalize it.
1 John 2:17
And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
True for weed is one of the best remedies for mankind, it literally can cure cancer have witnessed this first hand. The goverment doesn't want cures it wants profits and there is not much profit in cures.
Is biblical truth that "plants are remedies" given to us by God to naturally heal.
Just like alcohol there is a line between using it for medical use or being a drunkard as a person that smokes all day for fun is just that a drunkard.
Plus if it's legal this cuts out the cartels of the south to where the local economy can benefit from it being legal so as to stop funding the cartels for where there is a will there is a way, anyone can find anything in any city if they really want even after trillions of tax dollars spent for decades to stop the flow.
If a person wants a buzz there is nothing stopping them from getting one and it is better they smoke than drink or use other hard-core substances as weed is not addictive or deadly like all the others are. A person can get a buzz and die from huffing paint or gas yet they are nit illegal.
The hatred for this plant is from pure indoctrination like the reply above this for they do not know the truth as they believe whatever msm has told them.
You can grow a plant for dang near free in your yard and cure yourself or have the meds you need or pay a fortune to take pills for life.
I knew a guy that had medical issues that was on hard-core pills like oxycotton and other pills he was taking daily that use to tare up his gut and made it hard to eat and sleep, he found out about Simpson oil and tried it, he nolonger takes those wicked pills and takes only the oil which cured his pains appetite and sleep issues.
Alcohol is way worse yet the hypocrits don't care because it doesn't fit their indoctrinated beliefs, have seen a man pee on other men thinking them a toilet, beat their wives or children, drive into others on the road or into things like trees do to being drunk, never have I seen in all my years a person do these things while stoned. To support the legalization of alcohol yet not weed is pure ignorance and hypocritical.
I guess they just like supporting the satanic cartels.
@@onward8231 Cannabis is not just THC, CBD and many other cannabinoids work synergistically to provide medical and recreational benefits.

THC and CBD has been shown to halt and even reverse cancerous cell growth. Do you drink alcohol or smoke tobacco?

Nah bro I’ve smoked weed for years and Towards the end of my journey with it I started to notice serious damage. To my memory, speech, general mindset and much more. The drug is only good in the moment. The problem starts when it becomes necessary to make the moment bearable. It is a distraction at best.don’t lie to yourself. The only people who smoke weed and enjoy it are people with time to do so. And the majority of those people exchange productivity for that time they have to smoke.
I don't think it's a wonder drug. There's risks. I think it's good to show some restraint or else it will take over your life. For example, I noticed that sometimes I'll be studying a complicated subject and if I think about it when high, it'll will all click and be understandable. In a way, this is good, and why I would have to disagree with some of your statements, though I understand that that happened to you. It's hard for me to figure out which factor in my life causes which results. It's why scientific experiments are always designed so that the variables are limited and isolated, and the observer is supposed to be unaware of whos in the experimental group and who's in the control group. We don't have the ability to do this with self-reflection. My life has had ups and downs with attention, focus, mood, anxiety levels and sometimes it's due to the external environment, sometimes it's due to unconscious factors that I am unaware of, sometimes it's due to how much thc I been ingesting. At the end of the day, it's cliche, but everyone is different. You must have found value in it at one time and then you moved on. Take care.
Even if those 3 'marijuana cigarettes' were low grade and low THC, that's an INSANE amount for a first timer...

@Anon Ymous It's a matter of personal responsibility when it comes right down to it. My rules for THC are the same for alcohol: know your limits, don't go to work high/drunk, don't GET drunk/high at work, and don't drive drunk/high.
My dad always said that if I were to drive drunk, I wouldn't have to worry about the police because he would kill me. I like to believe my dad was successful in creating a strong moral backbone for his kids, despite the many challenges.

Ah yes, the perfect setting for being stoned. Sterile, uncomfortable room, doctors with long white coats giving you tests while standing over your shoulder, and some tubes and wires in the background.
This would probably give me an anxiety attack even if I were sober, the way they are studying and analyzing him so intently. 100% for sure if they gave me a high dose of THC
if they talk calmly enough and especially if my dose isn't heroic i right now would be okay but that's because i have thc tolerance
the doctors are literally giving it to him which means they’re doing it legally so there would be nothing to be afraid of. plus when ur stoned u dont give a fuck
True...people were casually more durable back then you pussy fuck💋
Nothing gives you anxiety, you give yourself anxiety, your mindset, lifestyle and diet influence anxiety, all of these start with your mind. Also certain injuries can contribute to anxiety too. But people act like anxiety is a disease, it's not. You don't "have" anxiety, you "feel" anxiety, that doesn't mean you have anything it's just a feeling stemming from something else in your mind and life. Quit being a victim of anxiety, stop doing things that cause you to be anxious, fix your Diet, sleep, exercise, hobbies, no more smoking etc... Do not let a doctor give you anxiety pills either, that's a scam and a religious dogma that you need pills for emotions , that's insanity
@@bagelz3359 ok, fair point, but I would like to point out that some psychological disorders like C-PTSD rewrite your brain chemistry, and I was also neurobiologically wired to someone who was dysregulated and unavailable, making my whole brain and body wiring system set up in a state where I did not have any stability or security, high cortisol environment. So I understand the sentiment, and for many people it simply is a case of improving daily habits and getting off social media, for some it is simply more complex. And that is not to say I have a victim mentality, or that I am a victim of anxiety and powerless to improve my situation. Quite the contrary, I have a lot of different tools and habits I use to help manage anxiety. But Rome wasn't built in a day, and complex long term issues take time to heal, and sometimes anxiety is still a struggle.
That professor in the end was spot on. Too bad it took so many years and so many ruined lives for this to be understood by most people/government in this country
I'm a Veteran myself and have benefitted greatly since my medical diagnosis that would be treatable because of valuable research into the medical benefits of THC and CBD.
I did a year long study in the VA in Denver about the use of marijuana as a medication instead of the steady pill regimen...... 🤞
I have arthritis everywhere. Have had 4 total joint replacements. My back hurts constantly because any surgery is too dangerous. I was on pain mgmt(hydrocodone) for years until I tested positive for marijuana once. They pulled me off the hydro immediately and now I do without. I'm being punished for something that is legal in 37? states. At 63 yrs old.
Thank you for your service.

haha, this is reminding me of the very beginning of the movie "Pineapple Express", where it goes back to the 1950's where you can tell angry and confused American military is experimenting by doing exactly this, dosing people with THC and observing the effects. So when the patient starts feeling the effects by laughing and calling the military generals embarrassing names, the generals get angry it's not the devils drug like they hoped but they deem it "ILLEGAL!!!!" anyways. Great movie.

It's amazing that after all these years it's still illegal in so many places. Nothing makes me content after a stressful day or even just enjoying a day out fishing like a little puff. I don't get stoned just a nice little relaxing toke that relaxes my body. Also helps me sleep when I have my occasional bouts of insomnia. Totally non addictive physically (I know some ppl develop mental addiction but that happens with all sorts of things), peaceful,calming,etc. Don't get me wrong I like a sip of single malt scotch occasionally as well but even it doesn't compare. I truly believe if anything had to be prohibited it should be alcohol.
I support the use of cannabis through and through but if u use it in excessive amounts your body will have withdrawals if u stop useing. I couldn’t sleep without jerking and twitching violently enough to wake up as soon as I fell asleep despite being extremely tired and fatigued. Also if I stop smoking theirs a huge chemical off balance that puts me into slight depression and I get really agitated very easily. I use it all day every day and consume at least 4 grams of high quality herb daily. It got me off alcohol that was ruining my life through dui’s and bar fights and almost a fatal crash due to a friend driving us drunk. Alcohol got me into so much trouble and made me an arrogant asshole and cannabis did the opposite. It allows me to relax and sort my thoughts. Slows down my brain that is always firing way to fast for me to control. Although I am addicted to cannabis without a shadow of a doubt… I can honestly say it made me a better person and I now care about others and things that I never thought twice about. Consuming large amounts of thc allows your mind to access dementions that you cannot stimulate otherwise. Turns on the inner self… the one that isn’t bound by ego or society’s perspectives. U will actually start to think for yourself and read through peoples b.s. fair warning…be around like minded people or they won’t get u or understand your perspective of things and u will distance yourself from closed minded people.
@@danieloakes6637 Cannabis is fat soluble and "detox" is not really the same as with other drugs. It's not a dependency to the drug the body is going through, it's a detoxification cycle to clear the fatty tissues. been through it MANY times myself.
I too, did not do well with alcohol. I tried to be a "good drunk" and stay home and not drive, ended up smacking my head on the nightstand while going to bed. Alcohol causes gravity problems 😋. Not a safe drug for me. And I can be rather disagreeable on the stuff too, lol.
And "addiction"? we're all addicted to a lot of stuff. Our economy is based upon it. And humans are very good at lying to themselves.
I prefer nitrous oxide binges
Alcohol was prohibited but no more and I do agree , I been drinking since 12 and smoked at 13 , drugs are man made and alcohol is a drug that is bad
You need a puff after fishing? Seriously? Dude your addicted.....you might as well said "after a relaxing study in the library, I can't wait to get home and take a drag, to knock the edge off". Pure delusional.
Cannabis is one of the most important health foods on the Earth. This is not a joke at all. Just a 45 year old veteran who quit decades of toxic alcohol abuse and literally found his life again thanks to that plant.
i completely agree, my great uncle served in WW2 and his greatest enemy turned out not to be the germans or japanese, but the bottle. he was a hard drinker for most of his life, until he moved out to where i am, Seattle, and managed to get a hold on his drinking. he himself said it was the hardest thing he'd done in his whole life. he practically had to relegate himself to his room, as both being around children and being around lots of people made him want to drink, almost unbearably so. he still struggled decades after getting sober. i don't know if he ever smoked cannabis, but he still lives on in my memory as one of my greatest heroes, a man who truly sacrificed everything to overcome the evil in this world. sorry to type out this entire paragraph about that, just got reminded of him from your comment. it's going to be a decade since he passed away soon, and it nevee gets easier having someone that amazing missing from your life. also, thank you for your service, i don't like war or what the military does, but my respect for the people who have suffered through it is immense.
"it works great, the only problem is that it makes people happy"
There is no drug that has no downsides. Marijuana just happens to be among the best positive to negative ratio ones. But some people do have negative effects on their lives. Laziness and forgetfulness probably being the worst though. Harmless enough side effects as is but can also lead to bad long-term outcomes.
@@stephenodubhlaoich those are both stereotypes from movies and media and the government. you would be amazed how many people are high all day working their asses off, doing skilled and dangerous work. Regular users are not getting the same high as occasional users, just like having six beers in a day is not going to get an alcoholic drunk. A lot of people have stress, because we live in a stressful world, and weed is a good treatment for a lot of people, without some of the nasty side effects of alcohol and prescription drugs.

Great video David. It is striking to see how slowly society has been to liberate this substance from its criminal status despite its overwhelmingly therapeutic effect for so many ppl
Was Michael Landon narrating?
Some of the worst people I’ve worked with smoked pot not that they were bad people just mood swings happy in the morning grumpy all afternoon a bit dopey forgetful if there happy we’ll go for it
Yes it was society at large and not the powers that be . . . .
Still Illegal Federally... so Big Pharma can fill the State "Legalized" position...The largest grower is ...AURORA HEALTH CARE...
It takes one or two to make it illegal, they didn't look further and some took it off scale and abused it. Also, make it illegal so that people would be more controlled. While one person is high on thc, that one person can change the world.
Thankyou for posting this one David.
It is a great way to show some directly that THC is not a big bad scary *thing* to be afraid of 🙏
True 👍
I would smoke one with this guy for sure, he seems chill af.
Dude was sent to another planet lol
3 joints in an alcohol solution, thats quite the dosage
@@GatileoGatilei I agree. 3 in under a minute. Without prior tolerance.
they gave him THREE JOINTS on his FIRST HIT !! LOL man was BLASTED "mild dose"
@@GatileoGatilei Lots of weed then was way weaker, the real potency isn't from that it's because he ate it and didn't smoke it. Eating it turns it into a different stronger THC variant
Cheap way to space travel. Why spend billions on space craft?
The equivalent of 3 joints smoked would toast you. Ingested, woah, that is a serious dose. No wonder he was feeling good and lasted so long.
true, but keep in mind that the weed that existed when this was filmed was much, much weaker than the kind we can get today (from 10-25% of the current strength of commercial weed)
And very likely with zero "tolerance" built up, too. If they ran this same experiment once per day over 5 days, by day 5 he'd be far (far!) less "high".
Lmao damn brother I was thinking the same thing!!! Back in the day I was more of a loratab and cocaine guy!! Just being honest, we have all done something right!!!
@unmaker But this wasn't weed, this was extracted thc much like dabs or rso and was likely 90% or more pure.Thc is still thc and wasn't weaker then the bud just had less in it. And ingesting it would only make it stronger.
@@Trahzy It was extracted yes, but they still gave him the equivalent of 3 joints worth of thc for their time, which is lesser than today. Ingesting it though obviously is stronger.
First time this man ever experienced THC in a concentrate did very well even with random people in the room doing test..hats off to you little Billy

That was awesome. I haven't laughed so hard in months till I saw this. I needed this. Thank you.
Thanks David Hoffman this was fascinating I love these old research documentaries and results of their experiment regardless of subject matter. as a kid I often wonder about the foods and drinks human digest someone had to be the first the person to try them. I knew some classmates in high school in the 1970's who did smoke marijuana as recreational use, somehow I manage to stay clear drugs as I was growing up.
I love that it relaxed him enough to say an extrovert should've also been tested. It helped with my social anxiety a lot. But I still wouldn't know how to elaborate or explain so others can understand. And I'm more extroverted than most introverts.

Dr. Leo Hollister dosed Ken Kesey at Menlo Park in 1959-60 some years prior to this film. Hollister was a good human being & excellent researcher. He conducted extensive number of research studies on a massive number of substances which helped expand human knowledge of Psychopharmacology by significant measure!
My research of Hollister shows he was far more important in drug research than he was EVER credited! Steven Szara knew him and was in fact interviewed by him in 1997 about Szara’s DMT research.
I vibe with his description so much. I totally get feeling like seeing everything from an outside perspective and it all being so redictulous.
Would love to talk to this guy today to see if this turned him into a stoner.

Wow. That is not a nice place to be high. Bright lights. A camera. People touching you? LOL
That alcohol in the dose sent the THC straight to the brain which would explain the extreme detachment.
It stimulates the appetite because it increases metabolism.
It stimulates appetite because it causes the release of Ghrelin in the intestines
Weed goes to the brain and makes people hungry. Who knew? Lol
My own feeling is that it heightens pleasure of music, sex and food, so you indulge... and with less inhibition, especially with alcohol in the mix
it's just enough alcohol to dissolve the THC, they didn't get him drunk. Skew the results
Do you mean, because it raises your metabolism, that I would never have to go to the gym ever again?
As a older teen, I smoked pot occasionally and loved the way I felt so free bc I was so quiet and shy. My brothers would tell me to take two tokes bc I laughed so hard and made them laugh their butt off. Then once I smoked with someone else that must have laced with something bc I was so paranoid and I hadn't ever felt that way before. I never did any other drugs other than an occasional black beauty when I worked the grave yard shift in a factory But when my own kids were teenagers I always told them I had rather them smoke pot than drink alcohol. They did, however eventually do other drugs. One is an addict who struggles to stay clean. They grew up in the 80's when the D.A.R.E. program was taught. So I kinda feel like certain personalities are more prone to experiment with other drugs and some of those have addictive personalities so they are more likely to become addicts.
it wasnt laced you just got too high it happens to alot of people that dont smoke alot they get some extra strong weed and get really paranoid/anxious and think the weed was "laced"
Ya u probably just got way too high and u weren’t around your brothers so u weren’t comfortable.
"way too high blablablabla". Too much THC in ratio to CBD I would say. This plant is more complex than most most most people understand, even doctors and other scholars.
@@smurfdaddy420 not true there’s such thing called k2 and it has different effects. Usually they look similar but can be confused as “laced”
You are absolutely right, the LORD JESUS has helped me with my addiction to marijuana, and as someone who has destructive OCD, medically diagnosed, it 1000% is worse for those who have addictive personalities, even something like weed is super dangerous compared to normal but in general weed is bad because it's a sin.

Thank you David,
This needs to be
Surfaced again!
We are constantly bombarded with miss information!
Alcohol apparently
After repeated testing is much more destructive.
Not only unhealthy but strongly inhibits decision making at high doses which if your a drinker (i am) its extremely difficult to not want to "maintain the buzz". The science has been in for a long time and its absolutely criminal what our government has done.
what an interesting thing to watch as i'm stoned. someone sent me this on discord. thank you for the upload.
It’s interesting that that sense of detachment is essentially the partial death or numbing of the ego. The ego is less involved in my perception of reality. This is anecdotal of course, but it helps me to process information without the bias of ego. I’m extremely filled with and sensitive to negative emotion. I’ve always found that when I consume any THC product I lose that as I’m not concerned with self but develop a genuine interest in things outside of relieving my discomforts. I have and for the most part have always had depression as far as I can remember. The anxiety component is sometimes exacerbated but while I was on antidepressant and anti anxiety medication it was lead to an overwhelming sense of euphoria without the anxiety. Interesting stuff. Hopefully scientist keep digging into this stuff and hopefully one day can help develop ways to combat these things without the intoxicating effects. I don’t like getting super high. I can make a 1-1/4 joint last days. I just need relief from the burden of my ego.
I agree. Love lightening the weight of ego to allow spacious awareness. This looked condensed and crude, however very fair. Milligrams were an unknown quantity to us. Strange clinical trial... they did the best they could, I guess. Most important was your view on deeper self and losing ego. I've always experienced that as well. It's a facilitator to show what we already have within us, just a dimension untapped. We are trapped by society/ the rat race, but I'm holding out hope for this moment that we are moving in a sensible direction. Thanks for your post.
Thank you for your comment, you verbalise something perfectly that I've had no words to explain to myself for a while. Psychedelics have always helped give me and my alters distance from our emotional pain and bad memories (we have DID, CPTSD and other stuff diagnosed) and we process everything much better if we're on them. We can see things clearer and with a healthier perspective that isn't tarred by our ego getting mixed in. Sorry, I'm trying to say you're not alone and good on you for being 'self' aware. I wish you only peace and health for the future and that you continue to enjoy our good friend MJ :).
The end made me feel sad. I'm sitting here with my stuff, while people sit in prison. I hate that!

do u still smoke these days ?
Back in the early seventies at university a friend baked some "brownies" for me, the effect was marvelous euphoria for the first 15 minutes but it kept going higher and higher and I started feeling less and less self control. At the time we didn't know how much consuming THC as opposed to smoking it multiplied the intensity. I started feeling queasy and dizzy and couldn't stay upright so my friend took me to the university student clinic where I laid down and became very sick, moaning and vomiting up the brownies . . .I still remember the nurses looking at me disdainfully, with no sympathy whatsoever, apparently they were used to this situation with students.
10-20 mg. In an edible is just right.
its so strange how nurses can be so judgmental. it seems to me like a lot of people just in general stopped caring about their job. its like after the plandemic everyone just wants to do the bare minimal and get home to relax.

It was because of DuPont, they didn't want competition. Instead of making plastic from oil / a pollutant we could use hemp and marijuana to make biodegradable clothes, plastic, clothing, building materials , fuel and so much more. So the propaganda against it was all planned by big corporations and our own government. Plus it help with medical issues and can be grown easily / cheap. Naw big pharma didn't like that either. So people go to jail instead of using it to help not only the people but our environment also. You may be able to find the documentary
It still is. No sane person doesn't hate drugs
So happy to see your channel blow up like this. Everyone loves these videos, I'm sure you'll keep gaining subscribers for quite some time.
I feel like I've about hit middle age lately. It's interesting to me the feelings I now have about the world and people, having experienced actual change over time with many topics. For looking at comments, in other places, of people younger than me saying things like "I remember when..." and that was like 6 years ago and NOT a long time ago! It makes me laugh a little but then I also appreciate it because I am happy that they are having their own experiences, and in time will probably feel where I'm at too. I can only imagine what it is like for people even more seasoned than I am. This is just one of the reasons I really like these videos. This marijuana topic change is still in progress though, of course.
I resonate with your comment. Its hard to put in words this feeling of change. I can only say that it is consciousness.
Im about in the middle to man.
