Ive been smoking everyday for 30 years and I can hear colors just fine!
Ohh and i can smell audios just fine.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bro really? everyday?
I can taste oxygen just fine too.
@@shreyanshrai6571 Literally, i quit for 9 weeks during basic training, but even in the military i smoked.
I was in my 30s, sober and suicidal. I had chronic anxiety and my mental health prevented me from reaching my potential. I gave in and tried weed. It’s been 4 years and I feel like I have my life back. I’m more productive, in better shape, and free from anxiety and depression. It works for me better than any pill I was ever prescribed to ease my symptoms.
The munafiqoon seek to destroy you. Seek guidance from Allah. If only you knew.
That’s great to hear. I hope you keep doing better in the future.
good for you brotha
Tell this too my mother please 😂
@@Gazzza416 What role can Allah play here, this is reality!!!
In middle school i had ended up being diagnosed with bone cancer specifically ewing sarcoma, i smoked heavily while going through chemotherapy it really helped me alot especially after surgery im thankful to be cancer free today, a huge thankyou to the doctors at UCLA children's hospital for saving my life
dang za in middle school col. Crongrats on being cancer free.
@@BoaJeff yeah was way to young thankfully my dad was cool with it , thankyou tho xD
Congrats dude! You strong 🙏
My friend died of that

I have smoked a LOT of cannabis. I am 70 yrs old and have smoked for 50 yrs. I have been in medicine that long also. I am retired, and very glad to be able to indulge when I feel the desire. I never thought getting weed would get this easy! I live in a condo across the street from a very nice cannabis shop!
Love to hear from cannabis friendly seniors! Sounds like you're doing it right!
Cool beans dude what a hookup for you 😅
I started smoking weed in the Navy '70 - '74. As far as lung disease. Most smokers who experience lung disease smoke 1or more packs a day. For a weed smoker that would mean 20+ joints a day. I don't know if that is even doable over an extended period of time.
@Ronkral-rc5se smoking or tea wch one is good for weed plse reply me
I have PTSD and weed has helped reduce nightmares. The doctors originally prescribed prazosin, which gave me migraines. For a while there I definitely smoked too much, but have now found a good balance of smoking 3-4 nights a week. Not everyday, but enough to get by.
I also take minipress/prazosin for PTSD. It works for PTSD nightmares specifically (somehow) but not other general nightmares. Just a suggestion but maybe your dose isn't high enough, my doctor had to increase my dose after some time because it stopped working. Cannabis is super helpful with my PTSD, fibro, chronic severe pain, muscle spasms, neuropathy, and so so so much more.
Cannabis is a life saver.
Wishing you a less painful, nightmare free day ❤
Have y'all tried magic mushrooms? 🍄 ✌️ 🕊️
@@54032Zepol I tried after my VA doc suggested electric conductive therapy (bilateral shock therapy) and after looking into it I decided to try mushrooms and loved the results
What the heck I thought I was the only one. I was prescribed prazosin and took it for a year and it made my chest hurt and gave me head aches. I stopped taking it and I feel better, but still have nightmares once in a while, less than before the prazosin
I use it for the same, they had me on prazosin .. all I gotta say is NOPE to that drug. 5g's a day for me to also lower my pain. I went from Night terrors to nothing now, I dont remember any dream I have good or bad and I like it that way.
Like the video mentioned smoking weed affects people differently. For me the effects of sleeping are the opposite of what the video stated. I’ve been smoking weed almost every single night for the past 2 years and my REM sleep is great. I have so many vivid dreams but then again I’ve always had crazy/epic dreams. But the most beneficial thing from smoking weed has been the reduction of sleep paralysis. I used to have 2-3 episodes of sleep paralysis every week when I was in high school. Over the years it died down to 1-2 episodes every 2 or 3 months. Sometimes a little more. Sometimes less. And sometimes the interval was longer. But I noticed that every time I smoke before sleep Ive had ZERO sleep paralysis episodes.
According to my smartwatch my REM sleep is worse and studies have also concluded that. Which is weird because I feel refreshed every time I use it lol.
I am totally pro-legalization, but I do think marijuana advocates paint an unrealistically rosy picture of the drug. Yes, it's way safer than most other rec drugs, especially alcohol. But that doesn't mean it can't be a negative force in your life. Having been a heavy user at times, it does cloud your mind to some degree. You can still function, but you're not at your sharpest. I also don't think it's a great idea for adolescents to use it, since your brain is still growing until the mid-20s. And while it's nowhere near as difficult a habit to kick as many drugs, if your tolerance has gotten very high, it's NOT easy to stop. You'll experience sleeplessness, lack of appetite and other unpleasant things for up to 2 weeks. I just think people should approach marijuana in a mindful way, and try to avoid having it every single day for months on end.
I had to stop doin edibles for a while cuz my tolerance was getting to high for my liking and I couldn’t sleep.
It's nature's Tylenol, but even Tylenol can be bad if you overdo it.
Any and everything can be bad for you
Seems like an odd thing to play devil's advocate for. As you mentioned, alcohol is far worse for you and has almost 0 medicinal use - other than maybe being a disinfectant in some concentrations. Of course we need more research, but even now, marijuana has many more medical uses than alcohol ever will. Of course you can get addicted (mentally or otherwise) to most substances, but so far the research shows that it does more good than bad.
@@nonefyer372 I'm not sure why it's provocative to simply acknowledge marijuana isn't perfect and requires some management.
Im a habitual smoker. I have ptsd. It's been a miracle for me. Ive smoked every day for the last 5 years.
I will never forget when I worked with a pregnant woman who told me that if I want a baby that doesn't cry then just smoke weed during pregnancy. I wonder how her children turned out to be.
😱 Wow... That is shockingly horrifying and of course incorrect. Hopefully the kids are ok.
That's incorrect but I've had two canna babies. First son only about 21 weeks in and the second till 38 weeks. Definitely do NOT smoke while pregnant, it shows on your placenta and damages it. Eat edibles instead. Both my boys have hit their milestones early and are the light in my family's lives 🎉
And that poor kid doesnt have a chance. First i love greens, but in no way should that child need it. Its selfish and that baby couldnt say no.
@@Leilabuns907 How you ingest THC has zero bearing on where it goes once it's in your blood stream. 🤦
@@Leilabuns907 did ur kids come out fine ? Like they’re not acoustic ?
Nowadays I mostly light up a J or two on the weekends to relax(used to be a more frequent smoker back in university), and while I agree with most of the things in the video, my personal experience while smoking & driving is that I feel weed doesn't impair my motor function at all, on the contrary I seem to ride more carefully & slowly after a smoke sesh.
It will impair your motor function and reaction time, but it also results in extremely heightened awareness. Which.... I mean... I've got pretty bad ADHD. Focusing on a task as rote as driving is almost impossible....
welll my reaction time is better . when i play games on the pc i seem to react and play so much better when i used to smoke and driving no difference but that depends on how much you smoke while driving a joint or 2 i think is fine but when getting super high its a different story @@christopherburgess96
It definietly makes me feel slower in terms of reaction time, however I agree that I probably pay more attention to driving when high then when sober.
@@christopherburgess96 idk about motor function but ive seen studies and anecdotal evidence that show better reaction time when high
i definitely drive slower when im high even if i barely smoked. combination of not wanting to get pulled over and just wanting to go slower in general even though im a very confident driver when im sober
A very Christian old fashioned lady that lived next door to us got diagnosed with cancer. She was a nurse and very much had spent her whole life staying away from anything considered drugs. But towards the end of her life the pain got so bad that she was finally willing to try some of the medical majahona that my father is prescribed. She didn’t use it as often as she was offered it, but she did admit that it helped with the pain and calmed some of her nerves when she did use it…She was a very sweet women and she will be missed. She didn’t want to go even though she had led a long fulfilling life. No one thought she was gonna die when she did because she was a picture of health, especially compared to her husband. Everyone including both of them thought that she’d outlive him and neither herself or her husband were mentally prepared for it to go the other way around…I’m just glad that she was willing to allow herself some relief in her last days and that her husband has my family checking in on him weekly. My little sisters visit him and he treats them like his grandchildren. I think he is doing better now, but the first year was very rough on him
wow. just wow
This is beautiful
@johnmcgrath5871 that was a heartbreaking story.. Not a beautiful story. But beautiful people involved yeah.
Cannabis can not CURE cancer. It upsets me that people claim this. It can help with side effects from conventional treatment. That’s about it. I’m glad this lady got good pain relief and help with her mood.
This story is another reminder of why I fear cancer so much. I have known too many good people to die from it.
I have body pain, ADHD and Autism with depression and anxiety; I can't even conclude to answering the question about is it bad or not. I can only say this: it has its benefits and risks.
I enjoy it recreationally like maybe 3-5 times a year.
Some of my friends do that stuff every single day yet claim they’re not addicted.
Money gets wasted on it, relationships tainted, motivation is lacking, and nothing is achieved or accomplished.
How do they justify it?
It makes you feel good, calms my anxiety, and listening to the joe rogan podcast let’s you live vicariously through someone else’s experiences.
I have everything you have as well, and in my experience, it has helped me, but everyone is different. However, many studies also exist to support that it's possibly beneficial medically for those mentioned purposes.
i found out i had the forbidden adhd with caffeine as it would make me tired and that made me sad seeing other people enerrgized and thought I was a weird human. now i drink redbull when i can both afford it and remember caffeine is a thing that can wake me up and i dont have to power through it
@@steverogers7601 fact is marijuana isn't addictive. Habit forming but not addictive.
@@steverogers7601 See... when a substance user says they're not addicted... they're fully aware that they're affected by chemical compulsion. What they are communicating is that there are tangible reasons they are continuing to use. Some of us live distraught and painful lives full of restless anxiety and it's the only way we know to dull the pain. There is no set of exercises you can do or discipline you can exert that free you from the bonds of trauma or developmental disabilities.
It's not an excuse. It's just taken the medical community the better part of a century to understand what we know instinctively through experience: it helps. Most people seem to struggle through life never really accepting that they need help or understanding how to get it. Sometimes dulling the pain is all we can do. And when the pain never stops, it's hard to throw away your crutches with no path to rehabilitation.
The next time you think to dismiss something like anxiety as an excuse, picture that friend diving off an overpass for a minute and think about what you'd do in his shoes.
Moral of the story is weed effects everyone differently and you shouldn't abuse it. Use/ smoke/ eat in moderation...
Or just don't take it at all unless there are medical reasons (smart person route)
@@coldshock5181 what a dumb thing to comment 🤡
Cannabinoids are amazing - just consume them responsibly whether it's medicinal or recreational.
Or just put the blunt down…you’re not 17 anymore🤣
@@coldshock5181 cap there are many successful people who smoke.
@@coldshock5181I did this and realized I was using weed as a crutch.
Some folks genuinely need it to live a decent life but don’t do anything else outside of weed.
Some folks really get into weed as a lifestyle, as “it’s a gift from god” and make it a huge part of their personality.
I found more often folks not even having any severe issues, and just abusing the heck out of it just because.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporees I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

After 21 years of smoking I finally gave it up😂 I have way more energy and get alot more done...it made me comfortable being uncomfortable and I wasn't making any positive moves in life...not writing it off forever just for now😂
Same here 12 says not smoking and i feel great i get alot done it makes me feel alive notnwriting it off either but for now its a no for me maybe in a few years i can sit down and smoke a blunt agaim with friends
I hear that, weed can definitely become a negative force in your life and sap your ambition, just kind of keeping your mindset in one place. I once consumed nearly daily for a few years on end, and when I stopped, a HUGE amount of clarity returned to my mind that was missing, made me reevaluate my whole life. Moderation is so key
Thats impressive. How long you are sober?
Just depends on how strong you will is. I've learned how to kickbox, graduated college, and began working out when I was smoking weed.
@@blazeitboneat first i thought i worked better but i didnt i just wasnt tryna get caught high at work so i would go beyond then ingot fired from a random and at my new job i didnt care i was high all the time but noticed that i was missing out in alot just cause i was high i been sober just 12 days it doesnt sound like alot but in a year i can come back to this and say wow i came a long way moderation is key dont over use or youll get stuck smoking all the time
I personally make sure my mind is in a good place before i smoke, because if I’m on edge it can make those feelings worse
I would guess it's making your feelings of being on edge worse would be because you're smoking ditch weed
I love the fact I'm in the sky off 2 dab hits and an edible watching this video. He is right about chronic migraines. Works great.

I have a brain injury on the left side of my brain from a bully incident when I was a child. I have PTSD, with organic and borderline personality disorders and schizophrenia. Both medical weed and oil and street weed helps... I've stayed out of mental health wards for many years now. Life is tolerable once you have a cone. I'm less suicidal too. Everything in the video here is spot on.
I'm really happy for you. I completely agree. 10th grade was my first actual attempt, but after I've started using weed responsibly, I'm able to feel happy with myself and forgive myself much easier. Thank you, and I hope you have an amazing 2024 😁👍
@@gabesandvig7532 Thank you. I hope you have a great 2024 too. I'm happy for you too. It's good to live with weed. If it weren't for weed I could've died by suicide. Blessed be Gabe.
I’ve been researching longevity and the brain for a while now, Keto , fasting and creatine show some promise for brain injury treatment , maybe they’ll help you
Weed has helped me quit alcohol, i drinked to oblivion for 6 years almost died 5 times! It helps with the cravings of drinking and now im 1 year alcohol free, planning to quiting the smoking and switch to the edibles. Glad to hear positive things about weed, thank you for sharing
@@luiziferbehel3750 thank you for your story, stay strong and I'm hoping you have an awesome 2024 😁
I've never experienced any of the negative things that this video outlines. I've been smoking weed for almost 40 years and my life has been great.
As a person who lives with cerebral palsy it helps with my pain
I smoke weed daily and I was already aware of not having alot of dreams for a while because it was really noticeable but for some reason when I do have a dream it’s something power and lucid! like iv been holding a dream back for ages and then bam your in another world.
IT IS A BLESSING! I have many chronic painful conditions, Doctors treated me with opioids for 27 years. I've been on EVERYTHING, they pumped me full of so much of Oxy, prescribed me 240mg a day (20 yrs ago) then on to Fentanyl. The Fentanyl was patch form, which is better for addiction problems. At one point the doctors started talking about opioid induced pain, I thought they were F'n crazy. Eventually I couldn't handle the increasing pain, hated the doctors & had to change things. I stopped the opiates cold turkey, NOT FUN but for 1 month I took only otc meds, CBD oil drops & vape & smoked my normal amount of weed. That was over 7 years ago. In those 7 years I found a different pain management regimen with the cannabis, my life has turned around. I have a clear mind, a memory again (yes, really) & my pain level is manageable. I am a new woman & have never been happier. If I continued along the path the medical establishment forced on me I have no doubt in my mind I would not be alive today.
I recently beat cancer and weed really helped.
I used it for my neuropathy, eating and pain relief. I was on chemo for 6 months and weed was a godsent.
This video is timely because I’ve been smoking like 2 joints a night for 6 months and since January has started I’ve completely stop. I’ve felt better in these 11 days than I have for a long time. Been making progress in life and have finally been hitting the gym hard plus have like 10 times the energy. Come February I want to start doing it again every Saturday but if I can’t keep to that schedule I want to to cut it out forever.
Congratulations. Were you, are you addicted to it?
My one college roommate was like dependent on it. Now last I saw on facebook he’s like out of it, no clue what happened to him, but I don’t know what was up with him to begin with. We rarely saw the dude he was always other places or went in his room for what we called “alone time” as a joke
I think it's such a different drug for everyone that you just gotta experiment with different frequencies and amounts and be aware and honest with yourself. I used once a week for 3 years and it was fine, but still started to feel a bit too habitual and counterproductive at the end of it. Last year I tried cutting back to 2 times a month and it was way more appropriate for me. Some people benefit from being high all day every day, but definitely not everyone.
You smoked weed for 6 months and have quit for 12 days? You're really going to pretend after your lengthy use and long rehab that you have any idea what you're talking about or at least are sure that is what is the definitive reason for what you're feeling. How about do it because you want to or don't because do not want to. Quit letting people with an agenda either way male your choices for you.
@@chadh.johnson3550 I think he is, sounds like he made a new years resolution to stop.
@@jakeg3126 And that is proof of what?
I’ve been a chronic smoker for 4 years, I had tried it once or twice at 18 and it didn’t become a habit till I hit 22 (time of pandemic), up until today I’m 26yo. Weed started off as being my favourite past time at a time where I felt I was pretty lost. It made colours more vivid and made life seem more “pink” in my eyes. Weed started off fairly recreationally up until it wasn’t anymore. I had a psychosis last year when I combined weed with some stronger opioids and it wasn’t a pleasant sight. I couldn’t sleep and was very paranoid for over a week or so. Ever since I’ve tried to quit cold turkey and gradually yet nothing has proved fruitful for me so far. I now am married and my wife supports me going separate ways from the Za. It’s a work in progress but I’m still working on not giving into my cravings. My advice for those who are like me in that phase of just smoking occasionally: if you have an addictive personality, stay away from weed. Weed is the best drug to relax, have fun, get productive even but more so can be very addicting and hard to stop if you have the need to stop one day.
I started smoking weed in 1983 at the age of 13. Im 55 now and a habitual user. I've been smoking a 1/4 lb a month since 1993. I am under the im under the influence every waking moment with few exceptions. I don't get high, but it makes me happy. The major problem I have is with my eyes. My eyes are so soft from smoking that the eye doctor can't take the glaucoma test. The effects are seeing sunspots frequently. The benefit of less pressure in the eyes is amazing, though. My night vision is at a whole new level. Works great for me because I work 3rd shift outside.
Jesus.
Same here, been smoking weed since I was 16 and half way through my 30's now so I've basically been "high" for half my life at this point to the point that I don't feel high from smoking, just calmer. Was high when I got my learners permit and my drivers licence and the whole time since I started working in '07. I'd been driving vehicles like bikes, ATV's, cars, trucks and farm tractors since I was 13 though so at least I already had the know-how and driving experience, whatever role that had in my story :)

Great to hear. More power to you :) enjoy
I smoked and got addicted to weed for the past 2 to 3yrs. I decided to quit smoking last summer because I wanted to focus on my driving lessons and I realized that it wasn’t benefiting my mental health either. I became more reserved, lazy, forgetful and more anxious. When I started to quit I experienced the withdrawals of weed. I was more irritable, depressed, lack of enjoyment in my interests, poor appetite, irregular sleep schedule, became underweight and overthinking a lot.
My lung health started to decline this past fall and winter. I had upper respiratory infections, caught the flu, caught Covid twice and caught a little bit of pneumonia.
I started to have breathing problems such as my chest tightened, feel a tickle in my lungs & throat, coughing, difficulty breathing, dizziness and lots of mucus. These attacks get triggered when I’m around any kind of smoke (especially cigarette smoke) and when I’m feeling very anxious or stressed out.
I went to the doctor to have my lungs checked out. I told her about me smoking weed for the past few yrs and I also told her that I had quit smoking weed. She said that smoking weed can potentially weaken your lungs and make your lungs vulnerable to getting sick by common bacteria and viruses.
I told her about my breathing attacks and she said it’s possible that I might either be developing asthma or I developed an allergy and sensitivity towards smoke. She prescribed me a inhaler for my breathing attacks and she said that I can get a refill when needed.
So yea I pretty much found out that I had been fed a lie about smoking weed being harmless to your lungs. I also learned that getting addicted to smoking weed and chronic smoking can have some consequences on your lungs.
Even in a short time span of 2 to 3 yrs of smoking can cause trouble for your lungs. Your health is more important than the relaxing high you get from smoking weed.
You were fed a lie about SMOKING weed? Give ya head a wobble if you think smoking anything doesn’t have a negative affect on your lungs 🤦🏻♂️ I’m pro legalisation for many reasons not because I smoke anytime I’m not working never before work but always after but regulated it will become cheaper and safer also you’d lose all these failed drug dealers that are everywhere and obviously all the benefits people can gain from it not to mention the wealth and opportunity it would cause
I am 22 rigt now, and i was introduced to marijuana in my senior year of high school, when i was 17. I was bullied really badly in school because of my mental illnesses, so having something that makes my brain slow down, and be able to process information rationally and calmly, rather than getting worked up over nothing.
When you live your life tense because of anxiety, or drained because of depression, having that joint and being able to relax, be calm and not overthink things, even for a few hours makes such a big impact on people who are constantly uncomfortable. I am PRO marijuana, all the way. IF people are able to respect it, and use it wisely.
Weed does not treat anxiety and depression. It makes it worse 10 times. Try to get completely sober, then start sport and discipline.
@@brolisimo This is false information. It varies per person. Too much makes it worse for me but just enough completely gets rid of my anxiety.
Do you have anxiety and/or depression and have you consumed marijuana? There are a lot of people who have and they’d tell you you’re wrong.
Best rule of thumb is “everything in moderation”
I think a hit a day may not be best but some folks have some significant cases.
You gotta be honest with yourself though.
Sometimes weeds is used as a crutch and folks don’t do anything else to better themselves or to help treat themselves.
@@nicgroves6116 yes, I do. I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression as well as Aspergers and ADHD. Yes I have things that make life hard at times. When times get REALLY hard, it's nice to have something I can use to stop myself from getting worked up. I'm able to calmly think about the problem at hand and work through it rather than stress myself to sickness over it.
I went from severe ptsd episodes to some type normal life. There's good and bad in everything
Excuses
The narrator sounds more calm and and his voice is deeper than usual. I think he had a joint himself
"Stop killing each other, man. Let’s just smoke a blunt."
I think like literally everything we encounter in life there's going to be benefits and there's going to be drawbacks. My state I live in just recently legalized weed for recreational use for adults over 21. When it's legal to buy in dispenseries I do plan to partake of the devil's lettuce. I have no experience with anything other than a few times I tried "dirt weed" in highschool days so I have zero tolerance and I know I will need to exercise caution since anything from a dispensery is likely to be considerably stronger than my past experiences.
I am 29 .I have been smoking weed since age 15. It has done nothing but have positives in my life from interacting with others to become obsessed and interested in my talents,and mediation. Honestly can say I haven’t seen a bad sign yet. I totally would argue that’s because my personality or the type of person I am in this life. It really depends on each individual
same dawgg
Smoking and watching this video always trying to learn
Right 😂
I always smoke at the end of the day, if its a rainy day i do smoke 2-3 puffs in the morning but not always and i had the same depression problems before so its hard without the herb and it helps me alot, it gives me the ability to chill while i don't naturally have it, i'm kinda a dark person but sometimes positive too , and the nightmares.. i had them before , i have them now. I made an online clinical tests and after my answers they said i possibly have 16 depression related disorders, and yes, i think weed is good for me.
Weed > alcohol addiction
Both = health and wealth

@6:18 incorrect. I often find it easier to drive while high on THC due to being more aware of the road and less distracted. It also makes driving a lot more enjoyable and less irritating. Maybe if someone is brand new to weed it would affect driving as it would be extremely strong and unfamiliar, but after the first few times it really isn't anything.
That being said, I wouldn't drive drunk as that DOES affect how you drive, reaction time, etc. in the worst possible way(on top of making everything move and such, feeling slower, etc.)
I have Chrons disease and it helps A LOT with the stomach pains, cramps, and regulating bowel movements(it makes the organs relaX SO IT'S EASIER TO GO). I would also like to point out it helps me work out
And when I was doing labor jobs it made them easier to do.
I stopped smoking since it started causing panic attacks and increasing my anxiety. I rarely used it too. Same with drinking, I can't do any of that anymore, which is fine with me.
i’m in the process of getting a bipolar 2 diagnosis, but all my manic symptoms went down significantly after i started smoking regularly, after doing look snooping around i found that while weed triggers manic episodes in some people in others it essentially stops it in it’s tracks, like how some people get anxious when they smoke too much and others don’t
My collapsed lung says otherwise.
Funny how weed is illegal where I live but they got no problem prescribing me hydromorphone for my Crohn's disease pain.
Don't inhale smoke when pregnant (ideally never do so) but what I would be more interested to know are the unmolested facts about the effects of consumed weed, in both pregnancy and not pregnant individuals.
I had fatty liver due to being alcoholic. Also suffered from insomnia and had to drink alcohol to sleep like 3-5 times a week. Started smoking weed 2-3 years ago and now my blood results are all normal. I'm now physically fit (gained alot of muscles) and feel better in general.
I get pretty deep anxiety over big issues or small issues. Weed allows me to calm down and properly analyze my feelings. As I age I find what my limits and what the best time to take THC.
Not saying it's for everyone, BUT - I'm actually a Better driver while HIGH,
when I'm sober I'm addicted to street racing and have a lead foot.
I have a 800$ radar detector and a tuned civic... how ever...
When I smoke I go from 80 to 110mph daily to the exact speed limit. I stay in my lanes I don't speed I make sure every turn I use a signal... which I don't usually do..
So actually weed makes me a safer driver... I get to paranoid about being pulled over and anything past 55/60mph feels scary.
I have a friend who went to college for medical marijuana. Still blows my mind you can get degree for Cannabis meanwhile some people are still in a cell.
My grandad has been smoking since he was 16 he is now 64 and can still run and is one of the healthiest people I know and to this day he smokes 2 ounces a week
me smoking weed rn 😂😂 LOVE THE INFOGRAPHICS SHOW!
same lol
I heard a story on how a Soldier in Vietnam fought off an entire Enemy Attack while high on Weed, his name is SGT. Peter Lemon, and he won the Medal of Honor (Look him up)
Bro this generation is done
@@coldshock5181 i’m not apart of this “generation” you don’t even know me fck on.

I have fibromyalgia. I have tried so many diffrent medications! I then tried weed and I'll never go back! Plus I am way less unhinged!
Diagnosed? Haven't heard of this being an actual legitimate thing (from a public health/research family).
😂 yes Fibro is a real thing
I started to smoke weed when I was 17, not knowing that I had family that had past experience with psychosis/schizophrenia. After a while of some use I had a drug-induced psychosis from the weed I had smoked. When people say that weed is not dangerous, they can be wrong. It took me 5 weeks into the psych ward to recover. Stay safe out there people. Love
My delusions were so bad, I thought there were gang member ninjas surrounding my house, the sun was feeding me and hearing voices from family members that have since passed.
I dont think you should really smoke until you're in your 20s when your body is truly close to being done developing into a mature adult (21-25). And it's safest still, to just consume edibles.
And I can definitely attest to neurological pain and mental health help with cannabis. I have not great anxiety and that helps me to fall asleep eariler, i almost never fall asleep before 5 am when I don't use.
I think it’s great more and more people are speaking up about this.
Smoking is still smoking and so many people overlook that..
Edibles are absolutely a great alternative too.
I started when I was 30. I shouldn’t have but it is what it is.
I have a friend who tried weed, he was 1, a few minutes later he became very agitated and paranoid. He started speaking some senseless things and would all a sudden start running down the street at full speed screaming... we had to bring him to a friend's home and lock him in a room. The other day he woke up not remembering anything.
I'm not, like, a scientist or anything, I just know that weed has been good for me.
The problem with weed and drugs that get you high is that if you go over a certain line you will not enjoy regular things in life much anymore unless you get high first. That line is in a different spot for different people and you can’t know until you cross It. Best to stay away if you enjoy life without it now.
The thing about weed is that it effects everyone differently and that is why it is so hard to figure out the true effects of it like for example when I smoke weed I swear I am so much more cautious while driving and patient but when I am sober I am honking and flipping people off and it has saved my life when it comes to Anxiety and Depression but I also have seen people that smoked and they go into complete paranoia they can't drive, walk, or function so moral of the story is KNOW yourself and KNOW your limits.
Certainly better for me, get it on prescription now and much better with zero side effects compared to SSRIs or the like
I've had Chron's Disease for 11 years and weed is the reason why I haven't been on any pharmaceuticals or IV infusions in the last 7 years I'm convinced.
The amount it helps my internal distress is almost no believable, I go from the restless feeling of being unsure if I can leave the house without weed.
vs. smoking a joint with a cup of coffee and not having to use the bathroom at all. Wild the affects it can have on specific individuals.
The infographic show always has up to date and detailed information, keep up the good work ❤
Nah.
I don't agree with alot of stuff they are saying
Taking a deep breath in as I watch this! It helps me calm down and sleep without taking major pain medicine!!! It’s a balancing act, like with any medicines.
You left out the effects it has on eating disorders that pertain to under eating.
It relives the "eating will make me obese" paranoia.
It aids individuals like myself whose childhood conditions them to eat less than a healthy amount.
And it suppresses the gag reflex allowing people with texture issues to eat things that normally their brain freaks out about as well as inhibiting bulimia triggers.
Yes yes yes! When I was 16 I was anorexic and didn't eat I was so mentally ill and I thought I needed to be bones to be attractive. Smoking cannabis allowed me to eat without a care in the world and it actually allowed me to enjoy the food I was eating rather than trying to avoid food for as long as possible. I have recovered with the help of therapy and cannabis and still am a medical cannabis user daily. It helps me sleep, eat, relax, destress, and enjoy things more. I am way less anxious and am able to be myself and say the things I think when I smoke vs when I don't I am just a quiet shut in.
It can also have create another eating disorder of binge eating.. I’ve suffered with EDNOS (eating disorders not otherwise specified) for over a decade, since high school.. while it might solve one problem, it can create another. And yes I used to smoke quite a bit off and on for years. Personally, the suppression of the gag reflex is actually one reason why I don’t care for smoking anymore. I already have difficulty swallowing so the feeling of constantly choking if I tried to eat something while high, was beyond terrifying and honestly not worth the mental and physical anguish.
I know a weed smoker. What a rollercoaster ride. Never know what kind of mood they will be in.
Weed is a gift from god in my opinion.
I was a patient testing out epidiolex (or however you spell it) when I was 16-18, I'm 21 now and it helps a lot for my epilepsy
THANK YOU, i always wanted to know an unbiased pro and con infographic of smoking cannabis
Lol this Was half right.
Where does suicidal come from cbd? Kinda came outta nowhere at around 9:00
It’s a literal gift from god, it’s amazing. helps my insomnia, my ptsd, joint pain, appetite. I think clearer, I can actually focus on what I’m doing and I’m not killing my liver with alcohol
So glad I left that “gift from god” phase
What throws me in for a loop with the entire, is it good or bad situation is this. Where does one draw the line of it being effects from the cannabinoids or the literal smoke inhalation. Because it was mentioned in the section regarding the effects of pregnant women and how their births had problems that arise which are similar to regular smoking. I can see how the cannabinoids affects mental health and certain factors of daily living like sleep patterns and emotions but I don’t see how the same can be said for cardiovascular & pulmonary issues. Would love to have a discussion about this, I hope I can learn something new or see what I didn’t understand the first time!
I haven't smoked in a minute and feeling pretty good about it.
I used to be an avid pothead and high as often as it was offered to me (which was almost daily). I used to adamantly defend the benefits. However, currently I haven’t smoked or used any other form of THC in almost a year. It caused me way too much anxiety and paranoia, affected my already messed up ability to sleep, caused break outs, I absolutely hated how dry my mouth would get. I hate coughing. I think due to multiple pollen allergies, it constantly made me sneeze and make my mouth itchy and honestly I don’t like smelling like I just smoked.. ya I certainly enjoyed it plenty in the past, it just isn’t worth it to me to keep up. Plus, I hardly spent my money on weed because I almost always had it offered to me and I see no reason to spend money on something that will make me intoxicated. Or at least not on a frequent basis. I don’t care if others use it. I don’t even care if people nearby me smoke it, I just no longer care for it personally.
I love the channel.
Been smoking since 18, got sciatica and insomnia, smoking daily helps greatly the only problem is building a tolerance and needing more to archive the same effect
I'm proud of myself for kicking the habit after smoking for so long.
Same bro I have a feeling our generation gonna be a bunch of 60 year old potheads smh
@@NickErrrr Facts. At least we are making it to 60
I was about to go to bed but since my algorithm pop up this video i’m taking 2 hits while i watch it. Cheers everyone !
I was given Prozac as an anti-depressant and nearly killed myself. Cannabis got me in my feet. My brother had the opposite effect with both. Maybe take what "experts" say with a MASSIVE grain of salt
dang, I must not be smoking that much weed at all because most of the negative side effects are things I really don't usually experience especially when it comes to sports I found that it actually kind of helps a little bit
Marijuana is a wonderful plant with many uses. Overuse of anything is bad, I use it not daily, but regularly for stomach issues that it seems to help. I'd like to cut back but I'm using about 2 grams a week which I don't think is that much but it's definitely a bit more than I'd like to be doing.
Honestly two grams a week isn't so bad. I started smoking a couple years ago due to relationship issues, and at one point was smoking about 28gs a week, or an ounce more or less. I've calmed down a lot since then, but I still smoke about 8-10gs a week. Using it in good moderation seems to make life better
less than an 8th per week is great! im at 1 joint per night and thats it.
I have ben diagozed 6 years ago (when I was 32 yo) with epilepsy. After I started to smoke marihuana, frequency of my seizures have dropt dramatically!!!
I’ve always been able to stop cold turkey / do T breaks. But man I took it too far this last time , and it becomes very, VERY habitual. the more you smoke the higher your tolerance , and more often and need more to get that “high” and not to mention it doesn’t last long at all after heavy use. Once you stop you totally become more productive , notice there is chores to do, or oh maybe I should go work out. MODERATION is key. I might introduce it back on the weekends but I’m 1 month off for now
Dr Dre told me years ago, smoke weed everyday
I think it should be treated like alcohol. Heavy restrictions, but legal.
Anyone else watching this high af?
I have epilepsy and I smoke weed and do edibles it really helped
It should be completely legalized everywhere since is the way better alternative to alcohol.
That said, I don't buy potheads claims that it helps with EVERYTHING.
I personally never enjoyed it. The "high" is unpleasant for me and I've tested legal stuff in Amsterdam.
I am 30 , I have depression & PTSD I smoked 15 years . I developed Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome ( C.H.S ) . I have been in the hospital a couple times . This time I almost died with throwing up lots of blood and bleeding in the stomach. I been 2 days of quitting weed and I feel like death .
I wanna hear more about oils/edibles!
There's so much great content out there about different preparations of the many cannabinoids. Hope you find some good ones!

I’ve suffered from insomnia since a young age just started smoking and I can actually sleep now the dreams part is true but I didn’t dream before I smoked either so idrc
I have schizophrenia and I hate that I can’t simply enjoy using weed. Whenever I do I go through the worst paranoia I’ve ever experienced. I dont like to smoke so I used an edible which was a terrible idea. Edibles are so much more potent and unfortunately I’ve never been closer to suicide than I was on weed, including CBD. If you don’t suffer from these illnesses, I hope you enjoy some of that hash for me.
30 years old and been smoking marijuana since 14. Ive been smoking every day throughout the day since I left the military at 19. I have yet to experience any of the negative effects that I could be self-aware of. Im curious if they have yet to take place or if I am superior to the weak... lol
6:06 meanwhile me driving to work every morning while i smoke a joint 🥹
Please don’t drive while high brother, but smoking a lil before work is fine do your thing
@@ZeNith94 thank you 💚
I actually suffer from schizophrenia and depression and anxiety disease and weed has indeed helped me more often than prescription psych drugs which did mess my body and mind up significantly. Everything in moderation and smoke is still not good for you but I sometimes have edibles and I function way better. In fact, when I suffer from my schizophrenia, it lets some of my symptoms move freely and I start to feel normalcy and calm. CBD is also a plus as a tincture and I only use a small tiny amount which keeps my nerves in a much better state. I keep myself realistic on certain things but it helped much more than what was suggested. I can stop and not be phased although some moments may vary. Schizophrenia is a permanent problem but I dealt with it for a pretty long time and find that my mind is in a much better state after using it for a long time and I can go a pretty long time without weed and still be functional. Best thing that ever happened to me but I also study some psychology on the side and some side effects can be a bit harmful to some compared to others. Some should not partake in weed especially if their anxiety prone when using it. Again, all depends on the user and whether their body is triggered in a bad or good way
He’s so right bout the sleep part i was smoking for like 6 years and I didn’t realize I only had a couple dreams through that time I just thought dreaming was rarer thing to happen and I would wake up in the middle of the night to smoke then I stopped n after like 2 months I started to dream heavily and they didn’t make sense just a bunch of random stuff
Moderation is KEY
Who knows we might evolve to have stronger lungs. 😅
