  2. Legalizing it will create more homeless people. Not because it’s legal but because employers still test for it. Thc kills brain cancer cells,
    Hemp makes better building material than wood.
    Hemp converts up to 5x’s the oxygen than trees
    One acre of hemp makes more paper than 4acres of trees.
    Napoleon threatened Russia because they were selling industrial hemp to England.
    In 1933 they made a machine that would revolutionize weed to use as Cloth. Ford made a car out of hemp and it ran off of hemp diesel. William Randolph Hearst and DuPont both hired Harry Anslinger to demonize to t after ww2. Only reason it was legal in ww1 and ww2 was because they used it in the war. .
    That’s why it’s illegal.

  3. I’m curious as to what the THC percentage is of the plant he’s using. From everything I read, the CBD is the primary medicinal component, yet dispensaries show low CBD amounts on most of their products.

  4. "..harmful drugs, like LSD…"

    Not true. You'd think that when he found out the government was lying it wouldn't just be about weed lol

    Don't be blind, everyone. It's not just weed or even LSD. There is a world of drugs that have been locked away by the government that could help many many people.

  5. This video has really touched me. These are the stories that need to be front and center. Both my wife and I are on medical cannabis and it has greatly improved our lives by getting off the opioids. Smoking medical cannabis continues to alleviate migraines, anxiety, and PTSD within minutes – so I can actually function. USMC Veteran

  6. I hope this guy sees this comment, or has already figured it out. But CBD DOES in fact reduce seizures, but if they are going through the condition they are, please introduce THC in the regimen. THC is a neuro protectant that protect the brain but also helps reduce seizures significantly. I agree with using high concentrated cbd oil extracted from the plant directly. But you should also look into RSO. (Rick Simpson Oil). You can get this oil in different ratios. For your children I recommend a 2:1 ratio. 2 part CBD 1 part THC.
    THC is a MUST in the regimen, as it protects the brain.

    telling us that LSD has no medicinal value is false, it has done wonders for depression, anxiety, alcoholism, and more.
    A couple google searches and proper papers later, you'll understand.
    Nobody who has taken LSD has ever said it has no value. It is non-addictive and non-toxic.

  8. Growing HEMP will restore the 'soil', will restore the 'atmosphere'.
    Will create BIO-DEGRADABLE plastics.
    RESTORE EARTH
    This is the only way I can get this message out; HEMP plastics is the future for earth.
    LET IT BE KNOWN;
    I wrecked my Harley not wearing my helmet that stopped my heart 3 times, 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.

  9. om namah shivaya thankyou for being one courageous enough to go beyond you preconceived notions on this stigmatized plant that has the potential to heal many, may god bless your lovely kids who have come into this world with a purpose beyond what we may see, there is hope that others like you will change their opinions on such a medicinal plant that has been used through out history by our ancestors in relieving a myriad of illness and disease, i believe its a matter of time before we realize any substance can be abused but if studied and used appropriately even still vilified substances like psilocybin or lsd have the ability to heal, which they too are showing now, appreciate you elucidating the fact of how government propaganda brainwashed so many

  10. I've yet to hear a doctor say that smoking high-grade marijuana in public or in the home can lead to involuntary intoxication of minors. Filter less marijuana also increases your chance of developing lung cancer or having a heart attack. Monsters like this are profiteering off the general ignorance of the community. I agree medical marijuana is medicine. However, CBD is not a safe alternative to THC, nor is CBD part of an approved addiction rehabilitation program similar to methadone. In addition, if these drug users are putting FSC chemicals on the smokable marijuana product it will likely cause nausea or vomiting if consumed. The "crystals" from marijuana can also aggravate people's pollen allergies. Furthermore, it is unknown if people can suffer from a general allergic reaction to Marinol or other marijuana based medicine.

  11. Every single thing on this planet has an Equal and Mother Nature has seen to that by creating this beautiful plant ( along with many other of Mother Natures own remedies) It wasn't man made it was put here by Mother Nature for one specific reason and that was to heal ourselves but greed has stolen so much of natures remedies away from us, They talk about the seven wonders of the world this should be Number One & that's all i have to say about that.
