The idea of weed not cutting it is extremely silly. Weed is only one type of high, other drugs have other things to offer. I use every drug (rarely) but smoke weed every night. I don't use other drugs because weed isn't good enough, I use other drugs because it's fucking stupid to only ever use one of them 😂 There are so many unique experiences. That would be like saying people eat a variety of foods because cheerios aren't good enough. It's arbitrary. I could just as easily say someone smokes weed because coke doesn't cut it anymore.

@Adam Roberts I mean that's an easy general statement to make. I think what you say has validity, totally, but I don't think it's always been as bad as it is currently. While we might have more means of helping or seeming to deal with them today, we've also vastly increased our institutional capacities to deal with folks who struggle with mental illness, but not ALWAYS FOR THE BETTER. I think folks in the past who had mental illness could have still been included in society to a much larger degree than in the past few centuries, but we've increasingly developed our ability to remove them, if not even hide them. In some older or ancient societies, what we might consider crazy people today could have been famous poets, philosophers, in some cases even being seen as prophetic. Nowadays, those same people and others are thrown in prison, locked up in mental institutions, receive special education or treatment their entire lives, treated as a biological and medical anomaly who needs therapy rather than a human who needs treatment/help, are proscribed pharmaceutical drugs from ages as early as 8 than literally affected brain development, and even having documented certain illnesses in the US can have you barred from countless job positions, I think the way you and I might think of mental illness are relatively new ideas of mental health that have really only come into play in the past couple of hundred years, but epitomized in our pharmaceutical oriented world that we now live in. So yes, mental illness is demonized, and on one hand benefited from being ignored for a long time as people were still seen as people, rather than the biologized-medicalized-imperfect-anomaly. I don't say this to lambast you, but I do think that there are a lot of serious issues with the way we frame and treat mental health today, which I don't think you disagree with haha. I mostly wanted to help explore this myth that things have developed in this vein of "positive progress" throughout time and will continually improve, with my concern that if there aren't serious steps taken to address our cultural stigma of normal and uncommon mental behavior, it will only grow like a real disease.

It’s so important for people to talk and learn. The drug conversation can be so scary especially for young people to take part in. It makes it difficult to get information or help. We need more friends talking to friends, neighbors talking with neighbors, parents talking with kids. Not just stating a perspective, but being open minded and checking out other perspectives.
@Stephen Turnbach what have people in 2000-2020 developed? Innovations? 70’s was arguably the last decade of greatness, before everyone demoralised and became lazy dependants and bums
"Most teenagers start off with marijuana. Then they decide to see if heroin has any kick.... It does" BRUH! This dude from 1951 made me drop my dry herb vaporizer from laughter!
I remember thinking weed would do all this bad stuff to me. And when it didnt i thought well i guess they lie about the other stuff too. Not a good thing for a kid to think.
And this is, essentially, how I ended up addicted to opioids. I made this exact experience in my teenage years, realizing weed definitely isn't as harmful as I had been tought, and wondered what else I got lied to about. It made drugs as a whole seem less dangerous, and it made me distrust anything someone not taking drugs was telling me about them. In the end, I of course had to realize that at least some of the things the media says about drugs are at least partly correct. Of course I made a lot of bad experiences, of course I got into very dangerous situations and of course it changed my life for the worse until I decided to stop and do a rehab. Still, this is a very good example why lying to kids and teens can't ever be proper drug prevention. If the point you're trying to make is correct, you won't have to lie about it. And if it isn't correct, why are you trying to make that point then?
@@covodex516 also because of the demonization of drugs there is no proper education. So kids don't recognize the bad things that come with say regular marijuana consuming like addiction, temporary "slower" brain activity etc.
Yes exactly why it is actually a gateway is cause u hear all the bad stuff about it, try it and it’s good with no side effects u start doing others too
I have said this forever. Whenever I was a kid and did some different drug, it was because my "hook up" didn't have weed.. but had other things.. Easy access to weed would've prevented me from using most other ones.
even hospital-grade heroin(diamorphine) whilst in hospital isn't amazing, I mean it's great for dampening certain kinds of pain but I can't imagine how anyone who isn't in constant pain- to want to feel like that. I've had to be given so much as one point, it was prety much an OD and I puked all over the 2 doctors and 3 nurses that were treating me! Even Codeine makes me feel the same as I did that time I needed Morphine/Diamorphine.
Yeah fr,I got like 10 weed plugs on snap and only one of them is selling coke and the rest only sell weed and like puffs,beer and maybe the occasional pill.
When a young person grabs a cigarette from your parents ashtray and inhale it that things mixed with stuff a lil more toxic then "sugar" it's not all about addictive property of the substance because yes like we all know sugar is addictive just like going on youtube and commenting sugar can be addictive 😂
Alcohol was my gateway drug. Without it I would have been too afraid to try anything other than weed. I knew drugs weren't as dangerous as the media made out but I knew there was still a risk involved. When I was drunk I didn't care and was curious.
Coke lost its meaning today 95% of coke users are some broke boys hiding in club toilets sniffing their last savings away, sad but they’ll learn the hard way 😂😂😂 in my eyes it’s always been a ‘celebration’ drug, not a ‘struggle’ drug
weed is a medicine alcohol is a poison go figure how the government works weed wont be legal here (uk) until the government make sure they make all the profit just like in Canada if you're in the uk you can apply for a canacard to prove you use weed for a medical condition it stops you from being prosecuted ✌
in Germany you can buy beer at the age of 16 but weed is illegal people justify that by saying that beer is deeply in our culture yeah and thats why the oldest cannabis seeds were found in Germany
@@MelchizedekKohen They are not making all the profit here in Canada. In fact pretty much all LPs are operating at huge losses if they haven't already gone under. Their weed sucks and is way over priced , but some people sure made a ton off of duping people to invest. It has been a fail corporate takeover , nothing more then greenrush Enron.
Dont meed to change your mind its been scientifically proven to be over 100 percent more dangerous. Hell caffiene is a much more dangerous drugs than marijuana
Same here. There was a huge downward spiral over the 2 years that I smoked weed. I suddenly needed to smoke every day, eventually multiple times a day, it was a terribly expensive addiction. When I would run out I would start to have panic attacks and major withdrawl until I was diagnosed with drug induced bipolar 2 disorder after trying to kick weed completely. Ended up in a psychiatric ward. Two years later to this very date I'm still on hard drugs to maintain a good mental. Weed can help some people but ultimately if you rely on in every day, it does more harm than good imo. No hate against it, just my experience
@@dinoflagella4185 wow no kidding that's too bad am so lucky that I didn't do any drugs or drink at all. Thank god for not being a follower. Just because everyone was doing it. I'm glad that people told me that I was no fun.😊
Fentanyl is bad yes but let’s not pretend that hard drugs didn’t kill before, you could still overdose, have heart attacks or any of the other problems prolonged hard drug use causes, that’s how my aunt passed away.
I had a friend who was a junkie for years. Without exposure to his story, how he grew up, and his mental health at the time, I would have absolutely just seen him as inhuman rather than my friend who after years of abuse and poverty turned to something that at least gave him a bit of happiness. He's an example of the "gateway drug" population but it absolutely wasn't because weed made him want more. It was out of his desperation where his self-medicating failed him. Thankfully he's clean now, but what saved him wasn't the friends ostracizing him or his lack of ability to source his drugs since he still had enough money to get it, what saved him was getting him therapy, a safe home, and friends who were there to encourage him rather than shame him.
I love how they criminalize all this drugs while in the US doctors are prescribing antidepressants and pain meds like tic tacs to everyone, there are commercials all day long promoting all sort off "legal drugs" o well the hypocrisy
@@justanordinaryaccount9910 actually, if a healthy person is forced to take an antidepressant...it likely will then MAKE them depressed. Its A FACT. How is that considered better AND deemed okay? Thats whats happening nowadays, pushing people in pain or who has ADD or anxiety into taking an antidepressant instead of a controlled substance which are all pretty much being banned for all no matter what and giving psych meds as an alternative claiming they have "LESS" bad side effects. Its NOT true AND IS ALSO LIES!!! Who ever is delegating these "Theories" and rules on prescribing meds to the world IS delusional and actually CAUSING more harm than good. And WHY IS alcohol and toxic cigarettes legal and not considered gateway drugs BUT marijuana grown in nature IS, making it still NOT legal most places?? There ARE way more tragic things coming from alcohol particularly than EVER from weed!! Drunk people DO lots of horrible things...AND what does a person who smokes some weed likely do? Sit on their couch, order some pizza, watch some TV and mind their own business. This world IS backwards. Sadly, I know exactly WHY that is too.
Brian Gonzalez...I don't know where you live, but as of the war on drugs NOW and all these new rules for Drs have changed...pretty much NO ONE is prescribed pain meds "like tic tacs" anymore. The only way anyone gets pain meds now is if they have been going to same Dr for years and are lucky enough not to have been given some lame excuse as to why they must suddenly need to be stopped for good or even lowered in quantity. The new rules seems to be...one bad seed ruins it for everyone. And now the whole world MUST be babysat and all our choices are dictated FOR US. I can guarantee suicide rates are the highest they have EVER been right now and its NOT all because of covid related depression either. I thought the whole purpose on the war on drugs was to try and lessen the deaths caused by drugs? And thats what the whole problem was..too many people dying. I think someone needs to check their facts and statistics because I can guarantee the war on drugs IS actually backfiring on who ever was intelligent enough to choose the way to "FIX" things regarding ALL that. Too many cooks in the kitchen who believe their way is the only way and the right way. And totally ignoring the BIG picture. Such a shame the HUGE amount of people suffering in silence and NO ONE even cares. Haven't we all been noticing how grumpy and rude and depressed the whole world has become? Because I sure have. 😟
@@prttyktty11 erhhm not really. You would've been on large doses of SSRIs (which are the antidepressants' class most used in conditions other than depression) to have that kind of adverse effects. Needless to say doses prescribed in those cases are on the lower end of spectrum. Also you are mixing antidepressants and neuroleptics ("psych drugs") which are totally different substances.
@@justanordinaryaccount9910 SO you are saying SSRI's ARE NOT used in depression but other issues?? REALLY DUDE. Where have you been when SSRI's first came out?? Thats what SSRI's ARE MADE FOR....depression! HELLO just like I was saying...delusional. Its not until recently or last few years they are now pushing SSRI's for everthing else. WHY?? To have a reason to no longer prescribe any controlled substances. And instead push psych med garbage that causes how many other worse problems...including SUICIDE!! WAKE UP and get your info correct. PLEASE...you look dumb. 😕👎

My first drug was mdma then ketamine then coke 😂 wasn't until I was around 20 when I started smoking weed after a good 3-4 years of party drugs goddamn mdma was the gateway 😂😂😂
Hey Jamie, dunno if you're going to read this but in case you do, I wanted to tell you that you're one of the very few VICE reporters I really enjoy and like. You're keeping it plain and simple, fact based, without exaggerating. You're all about the topic and aren't trying to make the video about yourself, like many other VICE reporters sadly do. Keep doing what you do!
I remember my health teacher in 8th grade spending literally a week saying that marijuana was a gateway drug while talking about information that happened to be nothing but propaganda or just misinformation propagated by the war on drugs.
THC and Cbd actually blocks the locomotor sensitization and dependence of cocaine and meth and lowers the dose of opiates used while increasing euphoric effects(thc) and pain relief(thc and Cbd).
It also crosses a boundary. Drinking and smoking are legal. In order to smoke pot you (up until recently) had to decide to break the law. Then 2 things happen. First, you are already breaking the law, so there is no longer a line to cross in trying other illegal drugs. Second, you realize most of the thinhs you've been told about drugs is bullshit, so what about the other drugs they say bad things about? When you lie about drugs to prevent use by scaring people, it backfires when people realize you are lying.
Pot is a gateway drug but not in the sense of wanting harder drugs, but it introduces you to the people who use and sell hard drugs. They have focused too much on the drug itself and not the people using/selling them.
I tried coke before I smoked weed and had alcohol poisoning before trying either. We can say alcohol introduces you to downers since it’s works on GABA just like most downers and uppers cause people like to be stimulated while smashed but I don’t understand how a cannabinoid could be to blame for people trying drugs.
I feel like the gateway thing is more about experiencing the opportunity to not be sober, and learning you like it earlier than an age where you know self control
I've been involved in a Crack Baby Basketball Fantasy League ever since then. I put together a dream team and am currently working on several prospects from Hollywood couples.
Feels like we got our children learning a lot more in schools than they might. Seriously, those topics has to be part of every education's system program.
Crack is still cocaine , but its very potent and some what more addicting , but the effects are the same. Of course every drug is dangerous because they are illegal and are not verified for purity
@@rexy2981 yeah it's more addictive since it comes on faster than snorted coke, making for a more intense "rush". However, the total duration is also shorter, making addicts "fiend" for more, and compulsively buy their way into heavy addiction. and due to the very fast onset, it's probably also more dangerous for the cardiovascular system.
I love this video. I’ve done drugs and steroids since I was 12. I’ve done and been addicted everything you can think of. Speed been my guilty pleasure. I’m desperate to reach out the the younger generation with my story and explain what damage drugs and steroids actually do. Just finding the place to get started.
I remember my sophomore year, I got in trouble for saying pot isn't a gateway drug. It's a medicine that leads to the refrigerator lmao I didnt smoke pot until I was 18. I just had a brain lmfaooooooo
Aloha! Very good documentary! We need to help our brothers and sisters drug users, not punish. I know 1000's of people who use drugs. Almost half of this planet is taking some kind of drugs...
@@blowc1612 There isn't any propaganda in heroin having a kick. People usually describe it as heaven or a kiss from God. Legitimate risk of getting addicted the first time if you shoot up and your body has a "good" reaction.
@@blowc1612 I do and I've read numerous user reports, and know that the effects can vary from person to person. Most don't get addicted from doing it once, but like alcohol, some do.
My brother used marijuana heavily from age 13 and had severe schizophrenia by 18. Marijuana is no different than any other drug. Fine in some people. Life ruining in others.

It’s so important for people to talk and learn. The drug conversation can be so scary especially for young people to take part in. It makes it difficult to get information or help. We need more friends talking to friends, neighbors talking with neighbors, parents talking with kids. Not just stating a perspective, but being open minded and checking out other perspectives.
Reality is for people who can't handle drugs...or was it...eh..nevermind

I remember thinking weed would do all this bad stuff to me. And when it didnt i thought well i guess they lie about the other stuff too. Not a good thing for a kid to think.
And this is, essentially, how I ended up addicted to opioids. I made this exact experience in my teenage years, realizing weed definitely isn't as harmful as I had been tought, and wondered what else I got lied to about. It made drugs as a whole seem less dangerous, and it made me distrust anything someone not taking drugs was telling me about them.
In the end, I of course had to realize that at least some of the things the media says about drugs are at least partly correct. Of course I made a lot of bad experiences, of course I got into very dangerous situations and of course it changed my life for the worse until I decided to stop and do a rehab.
Still, this is a very good example why lying to kids and teens can't ever be proper drug prevention. If the point you're trying to make is correct, you won't have to lie about it. And if it isn't correct, why are you trying to make that point then?
@@covodex516 also because of the demonization of drugs there is no proper education. So kids don't recognize the bad things that come with say regular marijuana consuming like addiction, temporary "slower" brain activity etc.

When I'm medicated on cannabis, which is pretty much always, the very last thing I want is heroin.
even hospital-grade heroin(diamorphine) whilst in hospital isn't amazing, I mean it's great for dampening certain kinds of pain but I can't imagine how anyone who isn't in constant pain- to want to feel like that. I've had to be given so much as one point, it was prety much an OD and I puked all over the 2 doctors and 3 nurses that were treating me! Even Codeine makes me feel the same as I did that time I needed Morphine/Diamorphine.

Alcohol was my gateway drug. Without it I would have been too afraid to try anything other than weed. I knew drugs weren't as dangerous as the media made out but I knew there was still a risk involved. When I was drunk I didn't care and was curious.
I did not like cocaine sober, but when drunk it was the best. Cocaine and I had to part ways though...
Alcohol is the gateway to drugs , crime , everything
Shrooms and weed the best way to go
This completely describes what happened to me
Coke lost its meaning today 95% of coke users are some broke boys hiding in club toilets sniffing their last savings away, sad but they’ll learn the hard way 😂😂😂 in my eyes it’s always been a ‘celebration’ drug, not a ‘struggle’ drug
This gives "Got Milk" such a different meaning now..
Weed is safer than alcohol. You can't change my mind on that point. It just is.
Yep, literally it should be legalised everywhere, I'm in the uk and I don't reckon it will be legalised anytime soon, its frustrating.
weed is a medicine alcohol is a poison go figure how the government works weed wont be legal here (uk) until the government make sure they make all the profit just like in Canada if you're in the uk you can apply for a canacard to prove you use weed for a medical condition it stops you from being prosecuted ✌
in Germany you can buy beer at the age of 16 but weed is illegal people justify that by saying that beer is deeply in our culture yeah and thats why the oldest cannabis seeds were found in Germany
@@MelchizedekKohen They are not making all the profit here in Canada. In fact pretty much all LPs are operating at huge losses if they haven't already gone under. Their weed sucks and is way over priced , but some people sure made a ton off of duping people to invest. It has been a fail corporate takeover , nothing more then greenrush Enron.
Dont meed to change your mind its been scientifically proven to be over 100 percent more dangerous. Hell caffiene is a much more dangerous drugs than marijuana
I started with weed and it ruined my life and now I use prescribed hard drugs and am a functioning member of society.
Would you elaborate your story?
Same here. There was a huge downward spiral over the 2 years that I smoked weed. I suddenly needed to smoke every day, eventually multiple times a day, it was a terribly expensive addiction. When I would run out I would start to have panic attacks and major withdrawl until I was diagnosed with drug induced bipolar 2 disorder after trying to kick weed completely. Ended up in a psychiatric ward. Two years later to this very date I'm still on hard drugs to maintain a good mental. Weed can help some people but ultimately if you rely on in every day, it does more harm than good imo. No hate against it, just my experience
Noone should ever need to rely on a drug, it becomes a habit that's hard to kick. At the same time they can be very useful, weed included.

I had a friend who was a junkie for years. Without exposure to his story, how he grew up, and his mental health at the time, I would have absolutely just seen him as inhuman rather than my friend who after years of abuse and poverty turned to something that at least gave him a bit of happiness. He's an example of the "gateway drug" population but it absolutely wasn't because weed made him want more. It was out of his desperation where his self-medicating failed him. Thankfully he's clean now, but what saved him wasn't the friends ostracizing him or his lack of ability to source his drugs since he still had enough money to get it, what saved him was getting him therapy, a safe home, and friends who were there to encourage him rather than shame him.
This was one of you’re best videos explaining about war on drugs, the media has always played a big part in this
I love how they criminalize all this drugs while in the US doctors are prescribing antidepressants and pain meds like tic tacs to everyone, there are commercials all day long promoting all sort off "legal drugs"
o well the hypocrisy
You clearly have no idea how antidepressants work, they aren't "happy pills" and won't do any significant change in mood in healthy person.
@@justanordinaryaccount9910 actually, if a healthy person is forced to take an antidepressant...it likely will then MAKE them depressed. Its A FACT. How is that considered better AND deemed okay? Thats whats happening nowadays, pushing people in pain or who has ADD or anxiety into taking an antidepressant instead of a controlled substance which are all pretty much being banned for all no matter what and giving psych meds as an alternative claiming they have "LESS" bad side effects. Its NOT true AND IS ALSO LIES!!! Who ever is delegating these "Theories" and rules on prescribing meds to the world IS delusional and actually CAUSING more harm than good. And WHY IS alcohol and toxic cigarettes legal and not considered gateway drugs BUT marijuana grown in nature IS, making it still NOT legal most places?? There ARE way more tragic things coming from alcohol particularly than EVER from weed!! Drunk people DO lots of horrible things...AND what does a person who smokes some weed likely do? Sit on their couch, order some pizza, watch some TV and mind their own business. This world IS backwards. Sadly, I know exactly WHY that is too.
Brian Gonzalez...I don't know where you live, but as of the war on drugs NOW and all these new rules for Drs have changed...pretty much NO ONE is prescribed pain meds "like tic tacs" anymore. The only way anyone gets pain meds now is if they have been going to same Dr for years and are lucky enough not to have been given some lame excuse as to why they must suddenly need to be stopped for good or even lowered in quantity. The new rules seems to be...one bad seed ruins it for everyone. And now the whole world MUST be babysat and all our choices are dictated FOR US. I can guarantee suicide rates are the highest they have EVER been right now and its NOT all because of covid related depression either. I thought the whole purpose on the war on drugs was to try and lessen the deaths caused by drugs? And thats what the whole problem was..too many people dying. I think someone needs to check their facts and statistics because I can guarantee the war on drugs IS actually backfiring on who ever was intelligent enough to choose the way to "FIX" things regarding ALL that. Too many cooks in the kitchen who believe their way is the only way and the right way. And totally ignoring the BIG picture. Such a shame the HUGE amount of people suffering in silence and NO ONE even cares. Haven't we all been noticing how grumpy and rude and depressed the whole world has become? Because I sure have. 😟
@@prttyktty11 erhhm not really. You would've been on large doses of SSRIs (which are the antidepressants' class most used in conditions other than depression) to have that kind of adverse effects.

Its not that weed makes you go to harder drugs it the people that you hang out with smoking weed may also have harder drugs..
THC and Cbd actually blocks the locomotor sensitization and dependence of cocaine and meth and lowers the dose of opiates used while increasing euphoric effects(thc) and pain relief(thc and Cbd).
because it's illegal...
It also crosses a boundary. Drinking and smoking are legal. In order to smoke pot you (up until recently) had to decide to break the law. Then 2 things happen. First, you are already breaking the law, so there is no longer a line to cross in trying other illegal drugs. Second, you realize most of the thinhs you've been told about drugs is bullshit, so what about the other drugs they say bad things about?
When you lie about drugs to prevent use by scaring people, it backfires when people realize you are lying.
Gracias, Carnales. Quite interesting reports, educational.

Pot is a gateway drug but not in the sense of wanting harder drugs, but it introduces you to the people who use and sell hard drugs. They have focused too much on the drug itself and not the people using/selling them.
I tried coke before I smoked weed and had alcohol poisoning before trying either. We can say alcohol introduces you to downers since it’s works on GABA just like most downers and uppers cause people like to be stimulated while smashed but I don’t understand how a cannabinoid could be to blame for people trying drugs.

Crack is still cocaine , but its very potent and some what more addicting , but the effects are the same. Of course every drug is dangerous because they are illegal and are not verified for purity
@@rexy2981 yeah it's more addictive since it comes on faster than snorted coke, making for a more intense "rush". However, the total duration is also shorter, making addicts "fiend" for more, and compulsively buy their way into heavy addiction.
and due to the very fast onset, it's probably also more dangerous for the cardiovascular system.
It's not a different drug, it's a different route of administration.
