I’m amazed at how this is a nutrition channel that talks about cannabis, but never has discussed the nutritional value of the raw plant. I don’t care about smoking or edibles, I want to know about how eating or juicing raw cannabis will either improve or harm my health. What are the nutrition facts about the phytonutrients in raw bud?
I am so happy today. I was diagnosed with Herpes simplex virus 1 & 2 seven years ago I lived in pain with the knowledge that I wasn’t going to ever be well again because my family Doctors and dermatology told me that there was no cure, but I needed to be normal and get my life back. I contacted so many herbal doctors on this issue and wasted a large sum of money but my condition never got better I was determined to get my life back so one day I saw Mrs. Carol's post on youtube under a video titled "How to get rid of Herpes virus Fast". and how Dr.Aloha saved Her from HSV2 with herbal medicine I contacted Dr.Aloha through his email: Alohaherbalhome@gmail.com we spoke on the issue I told him all that I went through and he told me not to worry that everything will be fine again and that he will help me. so he prepared the medicine and sent it to me through UPS courier delivery service with instructions on how to use it, after 14 days of usage I went to see the doctor for a test, the results came out Herpes 1&2 negative, I am so thankful now. this testimony is real thanks to Dr. Aloha God bless you. you can also call/text: +1(202) 871-3222
God bless you Dr Ugoma please share with your family and friends what a great joy in my heart to share this to the entire public on how Dr Ugoma cure me from herpes1 & 2 with his herbs and roots, I never believe it will work because the doctors keep saying there is no cure but i was desperate and needed to get this thing out of my body. I saw a comment online testifying on how Dr Ugoma cure her from herpes and hpv and i contact Dr Ugoma and explain my problem to him and he prepare the cure and send it to me through DHL, which i use it just the way He instructed me and thank God today am a beneficiary to these cure. I went to my doctor for checkup after 1 week of taking the herbs and i was tested Herpes1 & 2 negative and my doctor told me that the virus is completely gone from my system. So i will tell you all who is looking for a cure to his / her HIV / AIDS and HERPES that Dr Ugoma took research before he could finally get the solution to it and a lot of people are benefiting from him right now.

Another factor is if a person is a habitual cannabis user? Habitual users know how cannabis affects them. Like it says on real Rx meds, “do not use or operate heavy machinery until you know how this medicine affects you.”
When I first lived on Vancouver Island in BC/Canada, I was flabbergasted by how "relaxed" people were here about driving impaired. So, not only do we have a very large retiree population on meds, we have stoners who grow their weed in the backyard. So, if you every spend time on the roads on the island, expect most of them to be impaired.
Oh Boy!!! Come on Dr Greger, should you really be pushing marijuana use, after you made this video about permanent brain damage from marijuana use. https://youtu.be/Epd8RN9NrcY
For any one suffering from heavy cannabis dependency and for none medicinal use I invite people to take take a 5g of psychedelic dried mushroom (an organic USB technology) to eliminate almost any type of dependency including smoking, alcohol, and fast food addition to name few, success rates are in the high 80% Do your own research. Listen to the epic Ted talk by professor Graham Hancock.
What about the schizophrenia risk of cannabis. Yea nobody probably died because of pot itself but psycological disorders are a huge burden on the individual.
Dude I'm so surprised this is a subject on Nutritionfacts.org. If you are a regular user then it's not dangerous to drive, but if you aren't a daily user then I would say it becomes a danger because your head spins as a newby.
It's easy to compare something bad to something worse and thereby make it look good. When big industries involved in the production of animal products and soda do this you know that it's crooked but for some reason you do the exact same thing when it comes to cannabis. Why? Cannabis consumption is absolutely a pleasure trap: You feel good by "artificially" stimulating your brain directly without any effort, any healthful behavior, you can just "chill" inside your apartment all day without doing much. That's the psychological side, being happy because you suppressed normal functions of your cognition. The cannabis consumers I know are deadbeats. Eating unhealthy foods, playing computer games all day (which messes with your dopamine system like crazy), doing no physical exercise whatsoever. Smoking pot means you are wasting your life, at least in parts. Moreover you impair your memory function long term, you increase your risk to get lung cancer, smoking pot is not a healthy activity, it hurts your body. But there is a huge group of pot-heads that wants good news for their bad habits – just like meat-eaters – that will do cherry-picking and mental acrobatics of all sorts to defend their addiction.
It's called "fallacy of relative privation". Wikipedia: Dismissing an argument or complaint due to what are perceived to be more important problems." RationalWiki calls it "not as bad as": "[Use of this fallacy is] popular with people who know perfectly well they're doing something wrong; being fully aware that they're doing something wrong, they feel compelled to attempt to justify it and do so by pointing to other (usually worse) actions."
Just because there is a possible worse behavior you could put into practice doesn't mean the one you are doing is good. Smoking cannabis isn't the only possible alternative to drinking alcohol, you could just not drink or smoke pot altogether. You could simply be sober and get pleasure the way it's good for your body. How about that?
I was a pothead and it caused all kinds of problems. I ended up not making it to school and dropping out. I guess I would agree, it's somewhat less of a risk than alcohol, but best off without it.
Is this a case of comparing something bad with something worse so that the bad appears to be good? Sorry, that's my take on it. I think it's foolish to impair one's brain. That being said, I have loved ones who smoke it, and I really would like the law changed so that i don't have to worry about them going to jail.
I watched this video yesterday when it came out. I was just scrolling through my feed, and noticed the thing in the thumbnail is a joint. I was seeing it all day yesterday in my feed, and I thought it was a femur. Stupid brain. Maybe it's the pot.
What gender smokes the the most or is more likely to do it? I always thought men were but someone told me its females. Also I drive high. Honestly I feel like it makes me a better driver as long as it doesn’t make you tired. Drive tired is very bad no matter what the reason for being tired is!
Also, I don't know if they have better tests these days, but when you test for cannabis, it doesn't mean the person is actually impaired when they take the test as cannabis stays in the system often weeks after ingestion, and long after intoxication ends.
Alcohol is extremely dangerous! Cannabis just is not even as bad as pain killers in most people. Pain killers in some people acts like speed, making the recipient not able to sleep…
Every single time we drive someone is toking up blowing it out the window now. This stuff is so powerful that it is sucked into the vents of all vehicles in the vicinity choking innocent folks with the nasty stink. One hit-or-quit stuff is most popular and lingers in any space it invades. I’d love to tell these selfish jerks, “Do what you want at home but don’t torture the rest of us please. If you don’t care about health… at least care about safety.”

I drive slower so even though my reflexes are arguably slower, I'm probably net safer than sober.

Love the german subtitles. This Michael Kohlberger must be a big dick subtitle writer. -wow

Do your own research.

First studies coming out of Canada had a decrease in fatalities went down up to %10-15.

i wanna smoke the thumbnail. weed is vegan right. LOL the slow car bump lol funny one
No one should be driving on the road under the influence of any psychoactive substance, period. Don't need a study to realize that.
Very interesting.
I was a pothead and it caused all kinds of problems. I ended up not making it to school and dropping out. I guess I would agree, it's somewhat less of a risk than alcohol, but best off without it.
Both bad the end.

So….would be curious to know if there are any "health" benefits from cannabis…….as there are plenty of people claiming its a "miracle" drug…
Thanks for the information!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Cause the judges are old and alcoholics or heading there.
I watched this video yesterday when it came out. I was just scrolling through my feed, and noticed the thing in the thumbnail is a joint. I was seeing it all day yesterday in my feed, and I thought it was a femur. Stupid brain. Maybe it's the pot.
The early tests results had perfect numbers when Cheech and Chong were the test subjects.
Being high makes you drive a lil more cautious than usual, drunk driving with loud music, wind blowing through your hair i can imagine feels amazing.
The simple fact is don't drive impaired period, your indulgence mite kill someone else's children so if your going to do it don't drive.
Summary; Humans like to get high and it’s better be on cannabis > legalising it will save many lives.
More like this please XD
"which drugs should be legal?" In a free country, all of them
Excellent presentation! Love it!
What gender smokes the the most or is more likely to do it? I always thought men were but someone told me its females. Also I drive high. Honestly I feel like it makes me a better driver as long as it doesn’t make you tired. Drive tired is very bad no matter what the reason for being tired is!
Somebody experimenting lol
Also, I don't know if they have better tests these days, but when you test for cannabis, it doesn't mean the person is actually impaired when they take the test as cannabis stays in the system often weeks after ingestion, and long after intoxication ends.
People that smoke and drive you also have to categorize the ones that smoke once in a while and those that smoke 5 times a day.
Reefer madness,
Alcohol is extremely dangerous! Cannabis just is not even as bad as pain killers in most people. Pain killers in some people acts like speed, making the recipient not able to sleep…
Your still putting stuff in your body that your body doesn't need. That usually leads to problems.
Alcohol driver: 60 mph feels like 30.
Cannabis driver: 30 mph feels like 60.
Public Health Announcement: Do yourself a favor people and make cookies with your weed rather than smoking the stuff.
This is his usual voice.
Very good and informative! Thank you!
Greetings from Colorado 😁
Cannabis DOES caused gastrointestinal issues, tho.. Look up Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS)…
