All you have to do is look on r/leaves and realise the huge negatives of weed. It's a dangerous and insidious drug and is/has destroyed millions of lives. Most people I know who smoke is are unconfident, anxious, depressed shells of people, yet they claim its actually helping them with those things.
What’s sad(besides his dated views) is how immature Alex is. Both of the other guys are being calm and analytical when they are discussing their point. Alex is getting emotional and defensive and interrupting them so much that they have to ask him to let them finish so much. And they let him get his points out unless he is being absolutely ridiculous.
Joe’s point was that weed isn’t beneficial for everyone but it’s beneficial to the large majority and therefore it’s acceptable. Alex’s argument is that because a small percentage of people don’t benefit from weed it shouldn’t be available to anyone. It’s a equivalent to being like “well a small percentage of alcohol consumers are alcoholics so we should ban alcohol” it’s a bullshit argument and doesn’t work
Lmao this dude just wants to push an anti weed agenda obviously, I’m 16 and I have hella mental health issues. And I know most of my peers have mental health issues too, a lot of my female friends have self harmed, tried to commit suicide, and or done drugs, I smoke weed which I do consider medicinal. However people have access to weed more than ever, so more teens are doing harder drugs like cocaine and perc 30s, and abusing Xanax. Everything he’s saying is complete bullshit.
those " serious mental illness " cases are probably almost all because of the rise of social media . as a 19 year old i can confirm it really does do a lot of damage to the minds of people my age
hold on. the young are smoking less cannabis, but their suicide rates are higher. yet, this is evidence of the dangers of cannabis? also, who says lack of adventurous behavior is a sign of health?
the anti cannabis dude is not being serious. what are the health effects of being fired, stunned, or ARRESTED for using cannabis. this is said by a person who is experienced in most drugs but doesn't care for THC.
Cannabis doesn't cure shit, It only helps with symptoms to some extent.. In fact, it can cause some problems.. Stop looking through rose colored glasses..
Anti psychotics, anti depressions anti anxieties and even anti add or adhd medication have really fucked up side effects. Hey if you think that isn’t true why is it that Suicidal ideation, depression, “sexual Side effects”, hallucinations, and tremors which can be permanent (tardive deyskinesia)
😂😂 the leaflet in my antidepressants lists suicidal thoughts, depression and anxiety as some of the top side effects. Weed sure doesn't work for everybody but it works for me 👌🏼
One night, I smoked. The day before, I had an argument with my dad. After I smoke, I get this extreme sensation that something is extremely wrong. I went to the bathroom to shower, and I saw this massive demon/ogre woman in the tub. My cat saw me freaking out and I became convinced he was a demon. I went downstairs, convinced somehow that aspirin would save my life. My dad was sitting there. I thought he was a gorilla demon, guarding the aspirin so that I would die. I looked at him with terror and contempt in my eyes. Given we’d left off on bad terms, he reciprocated my glare. This only compounded my delusion.
I couldn’t sleep because I was convinced that the realm I was living in was Hell, and that the demons were my prison guards, keeping me there. I was in hell, in this delusion, because I’d killed myself. However, I was convincing myself that I was still alive by pretending these demons were my real parents. I could escape any time I wanted to, if I only just eliminated my captors.
I have countless stories like this. Some of them are beyond the capabilities of language to describe. I shudder just thinking about them.
Come to India and say that, everyone will think u r a fool who doesn't know anything about ganja or marijuana cause u know the population of India but your knowledge you collected is only 1% about the substance. If a normal person define by your so call study use it as deit or medicine or meditation or mental calmness by them no incident of what u have said has been ever happened. But we have seen incident,when investigate properly it's due to there own mentally abnormalities and the substance makes it speed up. So it's wrong to say it's not med or not med cause no humans are same but in our country it's ok may be cause of our gene and they grow almost every were like wild plants. No disregard of your response cause i am talking about real time here where I grow live and is still seeing all of this…
No one in this comment section is getting straight to the point of the the fact that this dude fucking sucks! The dude is way too caught up in his own narrative…..and numbers
Joe missed the point twords the end. He keeps talking about teenagers 12-19 but the guy was trying to talk about young adults. 18-25 totally different age group. Then try and turn the argument to kids but they totally misunderstood his words and he didn't correct them thus making them seem like they were on point when they weren't.

This is what brain worms look like, stay safe kids

I don’t hate him but the anti weed dudes main point is old, improper studies.

If anything, alcohol, Tobacco, and firearms cause a lot more mental illness than cannabis. Don’t forget the pharmaceuticals and energy drinks!
Cannabis clears energy blockages and demons. If you smoke it and you freak out, you have energy blockages or demons.
Joe, that 100mil you got, the elite still look at you as a peasant. Don’t forget that buddy.
Pharmaceuticals cause FAR MORE MENTAL PROBLEMS
Cannabis is the greatest gift.
Dude is a shill for big pharma! Can’t believe joe had him on the show. What a shill.

Cannabis effects people differently. For some , it is helpful and it also has negative psychiatric effects on others. It’s not for everyone.
also, "unsuccessful" suicides lead to major health consequences, arrests, and injury.
also, the spike in suicide rates is a 33.3 percent spike. homie doesn't understand how stats work.
hold on. the young are smoking less cannabis, but their suicide rates are higher. yet, this is evidence of the dangers of cannabis? also, who says lack of adventurous behavior is a sign of health?

if this dude ever experienced drugs, he would see that it is his own fear.
Does alcohol reduce blood pressure? I thought it raised it?
This Alex guy is the worst to listen too
every thing about this anti weed guy makes me want to choke the hell out of him!
Finally someone going against the grain
Cannabis doesn't cure shit, It only helps with symptoms to some extent.. In fact, it can cause some problems.. Stop looking through rose colored glasses..
this guy needs a blunt
The dude with the beard had a terrible explanation why no one else on that the comity spoke out about supposedly being misquoted
I feel sad and weed makes me feel happy or at least calm so idk

I’ve smoked weed everyday for 10 years and I have never been so lonely. It isolates people from society if not used in moderation.
Been trying for 4-5 years to stop. But dispensaries on every corner in Colorado make it fkn hard
I feel like a lot of mental problems are related to social media instead of cannabis
Lol two against one, seems fair 🙄
This dude is a tool… ppl like him are the reason we're still in the stone age…
😂😂 the leaflet in my antidepressants lists suicidal thoughts, depression and anxiety as some of the top side effects.
Weed sure doesn't work for everybody but it works for me 👌🏼
If you have to smoke weed everyday your an addict, this is coming from a daily smoker of 6 years.
The increase he spoke of going on from 2008-2017 can be from the opioid epidemic or other factors.
Joe “frontal lobe” Rogan
Does this guy know the endocannabinoid system ? Comparing alcohol and cannabis, stupid.

I hate when people claim to be an expert in something that they have ZERO personal experience with.
Cannabis isn’t a medicine? Tell that to the children who suffer from epileptic seizures and cannabis is the only thing that stops them naturally.
