But what happens when you smoke cannabis to treat anxiety and PTS and you become completely addicted and smoke so much cannabis over a long period of time and eventually it starts to have the reverse effect and becomes the cause of your anxieties and more severe. Possible schizophrenia. Maybe he needs to do study’s and surveys on abuse effects as well to level the playing field.
There are so many false statements in this speech, none of which are backed by science or facts. Absolutely zero data or resources are given here to back up not one of these claims. This is simply an opinion given from a mental health specialist and nothing more. I wonder how he feels now that 1 out of every 3 Americans live in a state where recreational marijuana is legal. Facts.. the plant is legal for medicinal purposes in 36 states and completely legal in 15.
Smoking weed is silly. I wasted almost 25yrs and thousands of dollars on weed thinking it helped things in my life. 🤣 Facts are when I looked at the issues the fixes were simple, better diet, exercise and meditation/prayer. 🙏🏿 Hare Krishna 🙏🏿🌹💐🥀🙇🏿♂️
User of cannabis for lil over 9 years. I can tell you that cannabis does have negative side effects in the long term for an everyday user. Especially if said person started smoking cannabis before they hit their 20’s not giving their brain enough time to fully develop. After years of using cannabis I’m seeing these mental health issues cannabis can give you long term. I wish I would’ve waited till I was at least 25 to start cannabis or should’ve never started. Ive become aware of the dangers cannabis can bring. You can become dependent on it. Cannabis addiction is real & whom ever says it’s not is lying to their self. When you actually start seeing the truth & stop taking other people’s advice you start to understand in what way it’s harming you & how it CAN be destructive to ones health if not respected. Everyone’s different . I can say 💯 that cannabis does come with negative effects in the long term. I am one person. Take it as you will.
End the Prohibition in the US and NY already! The combination of Cannabis and CBD has been so helpful for my well being. Really helps keep me away from destructive drugs like alcohol.
What he omits is that there was no study as to how people felt after taking a brake from cannabis. Because you'll feel WORSE than you did before and you'll end up craving it. One day crack will be legalized and there will be studies saying its good for you.
LET IT BE KNOWN; FEDERAL agent at CenturyLink4347 if you can 'kill' my computer then you can 'kill' me !
Because of how bad I was and how fast and well THC got my THOUGHT PROCESS going again I will never stop telling.
I wrecked my Harley not wearing my helmet that stopped my heart 3 times, crushed my chest breaking all my ribs multiple times puncturing both lungs, put me into an 87 day coma waking with a 5.5 brain injury requiring relearning life. Once returning home I tried having my doctor do an MRI of my brain to compare to my wreck. He refused telling me that BIG PHARMA will financially destroy any doctor that proves THC restores brain injuries. This upset me so much that I taught myself MOLECULAR SCIENCE and went to the gold shop in KALISPELL MONTANA showing JB how copper transitioned into gold. This got me kicked out and he told 'city council' that I am making FOOLS GOLD from copper pass tests Boiling water proves that 'heat' excites MOLECULES allowing ATOMS to escape. This is how copper transitions into GOLD and nickel into PLATINUM. Earth must be restored by growing HEMP world wide.— ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM —
Copper is 179 atoms and melts at around 1400F to 1800F.. You must bring it to a 'boil' that will be at 3500F but the 'oxygen' atom must never make contact or will explode burning on contact. In 72 to 100 hours, 100 atoms will boil out and melted BORAX will absorb them leaving 79 atoms that is GOLD.
Cannabis, tho somewhat harmless, Is still a drug, a chemical, that we can get addict to, I'd say it's even more addictive due to its psychological addictive properties. I've smoked weed from 18-33. Life is defiantly better without it.
It used to work for me…now it makes me panic all the time… still hooked and I want to quit. Wasted my whole life. 45 years old no attention span..slow cognitive skills, very slow thought process…can't have a good conversation with my soulmate…..it became a problem for me.

I thought the title said "making peace with cannibals" 😩😩
He failed to mention it could also mean breaking a link in the incarceration industry, which prey on the most susceptible demographics.

I don’t want to use cannabis. I have chronic pain and I’m a nurse. I want to exercise again

Cannabis is a double edge sword
Weed hides your problems but doesn't solve them
Love it except for the anxiety
I have a herniated disc and i need both THC and CBD to alleviate my pain. I will choose cannabis over pharmaceutical medicine till the day I die.

cannabis is the new alcohol?
Imagine if all Eastern Europe and Russia switches from vodka to cannabis! No more domestic abuse and violence in army. No more traffic accidents.
9:40 People are using Cannabis for three primary reasons.
1. To help sleep.
2. To reduce pain.
3. To alleviate anxiety.
Cannabis honestly can be terrible for you. Speaking from experience
Started smoking at 16 years old my grades went from just passing to top of class with honours.
Respekt

man looks mashed, def just smoked a fatty
Some strains will cause more anxiety then the anxiety they have already though so best to chose strains that cause 0 anxiety which ones are they ?
I think the government should be charged and sentenced for crimes against humanity for making cannabis illegal.

Weed is addictive, quit and am feeling so much more energy

11:45 I believe this is a big reason why the US is taking so long to
move forward on this issue. Big Pharma likes its money and is very
powerful.
This 5.5 TBI patient can 'prove' that THC restores brain injuries.
