The simple fact is that it affects every single person differently. Just cause it makes you feel good doesn’t mean it makes the next person feel good. It’s really that simple
Oh you know about it do you? I doubt it. That's like saying alcohol doesn't affect everyone the same, yet funnily everyone drunk makes a prick of themsaelves or attacks people or kills them driving.
@@petersimmons3654 not everyone is the same on alcohol either. But I see what you tried to do there. Different substances affect different people differently , very simple
I think brain chemistry should be a required course starting in middle school; it would give people the tools to come to meaningful conclusions about these things.
I will never touch marijuana again. If it helps others that’s great but it ain’t for me. It put me into a horrible psychotic episode years back. There are studies that have shown it brings out schizophrenia in people. I am one of those.
Yeah I'm one of those people that heard "you just haven't found the right strain" from so many people who are able to consume it. Plenty of them say they had similar experiences to mine, and can only use certain types. I believe them. But i think a lot of people need to accept that it truly isn't a miracle drug that's for everyone. The truth is that it is not perfectly safe, and It's addictive. That's okay- a lot of stuff can be, and it still helps others..... Ignoring these truths is as harmful for some as banning it can be for the person next to them. We have to be realistic & take people seriously when discussing medications, especially mind altering ones. Also- let's support the scientific research to understand more about kratom 😊 another plant people use to get off oxys and fentanyl for good, but can affect some quite badly. A lot of people opposed Federal Regulation of Kratom, but we do need it to be consistently safe and the same for it to be the best it can be for everyone.
You already had schizophrenia and it would have presented with or without cannabis use. It's unfortunate that this particular video references such incomplete data and even fear mongering propaganda from the racist imagination of Anslinger. At least do your own research.
@@marysupernova7780 thing is 1% of the population have it without knowing it. Any drug can wake it up as it were. You are born with this issue so its not the drugs that create this issue. But cannabis is vague without actual balances or measurements of THC and CBD levels or any other factors like other pills too. I love these fake reports or studies about its on the rise or fall. Did they go around and ask everyone do or don't they smoke weed? lol people still believe statistics which are great liars if not done right.
@@marysupernova7780 yes but anyone can pick out the worst in something. over thousands of clubs and pot smokers i have met not one has done any harm to another. So i think that one had other mental issues. The other thing is 1000 uses for cannabis! from fuels, to plastics, paper, woods, insulations, skin care, and many uses for mental issues too. dont blame the drugs blame the person ABUSING it. CAnnabis has bening used by 250 million people as we speak. All things in moderation. No one cares about banning drink do they? The numbers are so small for cannabis vs what cannabis can do for so many applications. Cars are far more dangerous! more died from walking the doggy than cannabis has done in thousands of years. I think of a worse case scenario for anything should be ban burgers? sugars? etc etc?
As a long time cannabinist, I smoked my first joint at 17, in 1968, and am still a regular smoker (no tobacco). I am a retired mechanical engineer, and a supervisor of the engineering dept. of a major restaurant equipment manufacturer. I have experienced no adverse effects, and am a daily smoker, and have been for 53 years.
@@MrGarymola Yes I agree! There needs to be more studies, particularly with blood types, cause I have a friend who smoked it for 40 years - you should see him, there isn't much left of his brain, and he's suffered a heart attack, but the personality changes were significant, and it even pushed him to violence once or twice! This is scary stuff, especially since it is so concentrated now!
@@kath2ndrew ...a few people don't have issues with it but many do...myself it was OK when I was young but not everyday...now that I'm a lot older & tried it a few years ago it gave me anxiety & I was way to introspective.
I first smoked in1969 and I've smoked on and off since then,I can still out work most young people not to mention the people my age ,hell I run circles around most and I can walk for ever, I've took their medicine for about 8 years and started having many uncontrollable movements all over my boby,God makes good medicine not this shit man makes, they can say what they want but the proof is in the pudding and I mean the many people I know and I'm sure many you know have been using for years,who the hell wants to get help,hell the weed is the help and a dam good one from the lord above and that's the truth.
Cannabis can definitely trigger Anxiety and Depression... and if your already a very nervous/quiet/shy person it can be worse because it will turn everyday into a self reflection session where all your flaws and anxieties lay bare for everyone to see... and I feel like that’s where most get their schizophrenia from, and don’t let these “not yet proven to be the cause” stickers fool you... cannabis is definitely the cause of mental disorders... or for the very least the antagonizer of them
Happened to me. Unfortunately I don’t feel like sharing my story cause it was horrible. But i can tell you this. You’re absolutely right. WEED ITS NOT FOR EVERYONE. Its effecting mental health in a way ppl can’t believe or imagine. And it’s awful. The only was to cure that its to fight . It happened to me almost a year ago and i got better after half year
Idk man it helps my mental health and helps me go through difficult situations... I would say that it depends from person to person since i didn't have any loses and only benefits also true for my mental health. But im just a stanger on the internet and i may be wrong
@@diwix1498 Be careful it can cause psychological dependency (different from physical) and schizoid episodes. Try other strategies to overcome depression.
Yes they are denying. I've know a person which did just weed, he got depressed, started to hear voices and was never the same. He was sane before and the family didn't have a history of mental problems. It is truly shocking. It happened the same to my uncle but for LSD and now they're saying LSD doesn't have collateral effects... Go tell my uncle who had his life ruined...
It got me off of 8 years of anxiety/antidepressant pill pushing for PTSD by the VA.... Pills almost cost me my life several times just by crazy side effects and making things worse in many cases. Blood pressure now stays lower and better, anxiety and depression are far less than they used to and I sleep a bit better.
It's DEFINITELY NOT my medicine having experienced some of the (so-called) short-term effects of forgetfulness and confusion... BUT ... My housemate is a life-long user who (just like you ) has weened himself OFF of serious psych drugs over the years. He experiences NONE of those "side-effects". Cannabis has saved his life many times over. He smokes up and gets wildly creative and delightfully social. But THE OPPOSITE is true for me. I do enjoy it once in a while when I'm alone and can fall asleep without having to excuse myself, and must consume only a tiny amount. We are all wired differently for sure. This was a terrible "report" and basically an updated version of "Reefer Madness". It should include a disclaimer along with a vomit bag.
@@donaldknott7513 three different medications that I bought at a STORE have been recalled in the last year for containing carcinogens! It's a damned if ya do, damned if ya don't kinda world, ain't it?
@Jay I agree . I have both as well as many other health issues . Herb helps me more than all of Big Pharma's posion . Been making butter and oil since mid 80's
You think it does until you get off of it and realize how much it made it worse. My husband thought that for 25 years...but in the end he ended up miserable, addicted, with cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome and it only made anxiety and depression worse. And now my son is doing the same thing and hoepfully realizes it soon. Because he is miserable too. Smoking anything into the lungs is not good. And smoking everyday is addicting.
You better stop and detox the body. I clicked to listen because my family of birth and the extended family have lost lots of promising men ,who got addicted,commiting crimes and many murders and finally dying alone. I got about ten family members i know and none escaped to recover.
I am a real life study of the usage of cannabis for 50+ years and MJ has been real sweet to me. Presently I am 71, take no prescription drugs now and have not in my adult life. I have never had a regular doctor and wake up feeling great every morning. It seems that I am just a lucky one.
Well considering that a lot of research has been delayed on pesticides and synthetic chemical additives and growing procedures, one would think those would be very important details to factor into this topic. 😴
Silky, "Please tell me the ONE PLACE on this Planet, that is NOT Polluted with Pesticides and/or harmful chemical additives?" Zero places, it does not exist! AND, when we try to stop the Major Corps. from making and using it, "They Use it anyways"!! That includes "the food we eat daily"!! We have to go Organic!!
Sounds TRUE, however, the same thing applies to "ALL your vegetables!!!" which includes wheat for bread, Apples and oranges, grapes, celery, etc.. "I could go on All Day long!
I can definitely tell it’s impact on my brain. My memory nowhere near what it once was. I can literally watch a TH-cam video, it goes to an ad and I can forget what the subject of the video is. I only started smoking weed just 3 years ago at 37.
Anonymous medical professional here. This video referenced emergency department admissions for drug use where marijuana was mentioned within their medical records. This is an unreliable piece of information as you’ll find almost 9 times out of 10 that all types of illicit drug users will use marijuana at some point in their lives, and when asked by the doctor about this during an admission, for example heroin overdose, if the patient states that they have a smoke every now and again this will be noted down but the actual ED admission will more likely be from opiate OD and not the cannabis use. It’s like saying that everybody who were found to have died from brain tumours had a brain. It points out the obvious but somehow tries to use it to push false information?!
When I was younger marijuana definitely helped me overcome my depression but as with anything prolonged use has it's negative side effects, like infertility, psychosis like social anxiety and paranoia, short term memory, desensitization from new experiences. Moderation is key
I was prescribed it for chronic pain. The first time I vaped, I had a terrible psychotic episode that featured the worst panic attack I have ever felt.
It’s well researched that weed is terrible for people with anxiety and depression you are much more prone to the cognitive disorders weed can accelerate Ik this from personal experience I’ve smoke practically everyday for 2 years and I’m here to tell you in the long term it’s makes both of those things much worse at first I agree it helps overtime it does not and it takes awhile to come to that reality once you have been smoking for a while
I work at the 3rd largest indoor grow in my state. I also have a background in psychology and had a therapy practice. Cannabis is being used for its THC (the high) to cover up childhood trauma that is not treated (like alcohol ) and denial of addiction. It's simple... if you can't live without it, you're addicted. CBD is a medicine of the future but the industry is selling its product for the addict which wants the high to remain in denial of their addiction instead of treatment of childhood trauma. It's a business and the money comes from addiction, repeat business, and genetic manipulation for higher THC content is necessary to continue to out due the next grower. It's a race to the bottom. Treatment for anxiety or depression is not going to work, it will only continue the problem through denial. Therapy does work, and I recommend age regression hypnotherapy.
You can recommend all of these fancy therapies all day long. Many (most) do not have timely access if they have access at all. Cannabis may be easier to get. If it helps….enough said. The world is not equal.
People become dependent on helpful medication all the time. Thats not the issue. The issue is, does it help more than it harms. If the answer is yes then why should I care? I don't trust this comment personally.
Yeah . So wrong and judgement this is, If had your therapies lol. Smoke some weed chill out, calm down. I'm thirty years of experience and I'm a mastermind.
Yeah we all know that but if you smoke heavily for even a few years every day it can effect you in a negative way especially if your daily life and surroundings are already effecting you.
I agree. This youtube post seems slanted. Right for the start they use deceptive statistics. The second fact that they state is the 450,000 of medical drug emergencies report that the patient has used cannabis. That means that a person who has a heroine overdose, who has also used cannabis, is included in their statistics. That's deceptive, right?
I smoked everyday for 8yrs straight I had already depression thought it was helping but long term it made it worse I was abusing weed. I believe it’s okay to smoke in moderation but when you start to smoke everyday that is when it can become a problem. For me it was fine at first but I over did it and didn’t stop my depression and my anxiety got worse now that I don’t smoke I have very little anxiety and depression crazy right!?
Your video was informative, However.... "It seems to be one sided"! I mean, "Maybe, Maybe, maybe, BUT it could also be "Maybe NOT, maybe not, maybe not"! It appears from what I heard on this video, "that you're somebody from Canada"? NOT ONE word was mentioned about usage in countries like Jamaica or Isreal, where they've studied it more thoroughly! You forgot to say, "More studies need to be done", when this substance has been around for over 5,000 years and "NOBODY has ever died from using it"!! We need the Entire facts "Not one side of the facts"!!
I've had really bad anxiety, depression and stress lately. I don't smoke but my friend gave me some weed and said smoke this it could help.. I have just smoked some and now I'm writing this message lol
Cannabis is a emotion enhancer in my opinion. It can pull you out of a nasty time but can also lead you back down there due to it nostagic effect. I find it quite an enigma listening to 1930s music. Quite anxiety inducing but addictive. Id say its better to suround yourself with people and study stoicism. Anxiety and stress are felt by all but i think its how we deal with it in the moment.
That should be a red flag. Any medication they you need to be able to be emotionally stable WILL cause you to abuse it. Go to therapy and talk to a profetional. Dont self medicate yourself.
@@bjjkickboxing7876 You sir are spot on, I was actually smoking cannabis for about 8 years until recently, at first it just chilled me out and made me happier, then it started to cause me huge anxiety which is why I have kicked it now.
@@stannisbaratheon6725 yeah, that is the sad part about it. Because it isnt as agressive as crack or cocain we tend to treat it like a fun little hobby instead of an actual drug. They should teach cannabis addiction in school, people are learning the jard way and its sad.
A study needs to be done on the food people consume and cannabis. Eating unhealthy combined with a sedentary lifestyle and consuming cannabis is unhealthy. Eating healthy combined with an active lifestyle and consuming cannabis changes the results.
I've smoked daily for over 30+ years and a lot ( after work only) it has shortened my memory recall of recent issues, yet my long term memory is reasonably sharp. It isn't for everyone and abuse of anything is detrimental. The one thing that it does do is make you question what you have been told. You question, "WHY?" THIS IS THE REASON IT HAS BEEN A CLASS 1 DRUG . It stops the programming of the fed narrative when you ask questions. TV's and movies are realized to be less than entertaining and being amongst friends is supportive.. It isnt violent like alcohol and other substances can be. Recently I've put it aside and do wish I'd done it sooner because I was abusing it and justifying it to myself which on reflection, was not good.. Never stop learning, that's the killer.😘
It helps me with my anxiety. Calms me down and allows me to think without my brain going crazy. I used to have extreme depression since I have been smoking I have been living such a happier better life. It's been 6years since I've been a daily smoker. I really appericate what it does for me.

I’m just like you when I smoke I’m much happier ..When I don’t I’m extremely depressed .Then you watch videos like this and wonder what the fuck are they talking about ?
The problem with weed is it isn’t a long term solution. You’ll see one day, it just stops working the same way on you. Then you’re like wtf and that’s when some people move to opiates or alcohol to fill the tremendous void weed leaves them with once the weed don’t work anymore. You’re just not there yet.
I was hoping for actual information backing up the claims of this video. There is a prevalent use of cannabis among mentally ill people but many feel it is helpful.
Prevalent use amongst those rejected. The mental illness comes before the usage, one of the overlooked wonders of the many beautiful cannabis relationships. Likewise, cannabis use is not associated with development of mental disorders, but rather beckoning the emergence of pre-existing and dormant mental disorders.
A lot of us have been brain damaged by our doctors and now use cannabis to heal through stress relief, pain and most important of all, improved quality of sleep or even quitting alcohol. There’s lots of us getting healthier with Cannabis use💚✅ Education is key and stigma is a bitch.
I had to stop smoking marijuana in early 2001. It was giving me anxiety, a little paranoia. For some stupid reason it lowered my self esteem. Drinking alcohol was fine
It really varies person to person. When I smoke I tend to have long brainstorming sessions. Sometimes this could lead to finding out more about my current challenges and other times I just lay down and do nothing. I think marijuana helps me stay away from more damaging and addicting substances or activities. Daily use increases tolerance too much though, so moderation is a great thing.
@@fitafries7274 I use it when I want to turn out the world and be in my moment where I focus on my life. It always leads in a way or an other to a moment of worship. I don't know which God you serve but I'm Christian. I truly believe that Jesus Christ is the one and only messiah and I know that for each and every one of us he has his own ways of reaching out. If you believe that someone is in the wrong it's better to pray and offer a message of wisdom. Not a message that conveys judgment. Because you're advancing not your kingdom, but his. So it would be best to do that inner work and ask the Holy Spirit to give you the right words. And always remember that if the words are not loving, they are not from God, but rather from the flesh. From the human within.
Why y'all so damn judgemental?!!!! That's fear based ego crisis. Work on your inner child, inner adult, focus on emotional support and see what happens ❤
I am an LCSW at an inpatient treatment center and I see the symptoms mentioned in this video regularly. Cannabis is like most drugs, helpful at first but as people become dependent and use increases the negative side effects start to increase and create more issues than it helps. Symptoms are more typical in people who have a history of long term daily use of Cannabis. My professional opinion is to try everything else first (therapy, support groups, meditation, yoga, exercise, diet, CBT, EMDR, connecting with people, animal therapy, and so on) before using mind altering substances to help you deal with daily life.
Yes. It used to help me be more patient and relaxed. Now 2 years later of using everyday ..it makes me overthink eveything, gives me negative racing thoughts and causes me to have panick and fear just to go to grocery store. I never likes pot in my teens ( 20 yrs ago) I'm 49 now and quit a week ago and racing thoughts are gone and I have so much more energy. It actually started to cause all the things it used to help me with Now I will also save alot of money for product and card mmd ect
for anyone who thinks smoking weed is good for dealing with stress HELL no, you should deal with the things on your sober mind. being sober is being yourself so deal with it dont make excuses just to go in a temporary so called ''fun'' high state of being that you get from smoking dope
been 2 days sober im about to give up on this stupid ass demonic drug, made me get alot of negative thoughts, made me do participate in crime, made my parents upset about my use etc etc fuck weed
@@pandatorta2241 I was the same way. Even when I stopped. It lasted months later. maybe start therapy and some meditation practices. For me what really helped was focusing on serving God, praying and being active in my faith. It’s worth a try. Here’s a website to check out. INCmedia.org.
I regret geting into it for the first time in high school, and i also regret geting into it later in adult years. I would have less mental health issues, if i wouldn't ever touch it. It's all about relaxation, but too much of that relaxation can cause giving up hobies, interests, working, going to school, building up social life skills, and contacts. Media and people portrays the whole thing as a healing medicine whole time nowadays and that is very dangerous. I regret even trying it, my life would be better if i wouldn't light up first joint. I pray that i will not need it anymore in my life in the future.
Pot has helped through serious depressive episodes, relieved anxiety and helps me sleep. Not to mention pain relief. I have also had negative effects depending on the strain used. It is a mood stabilizer for me as well, with results lasting after the high has passed. In my personal experience and observations of life in general, is less risky than use of alcohol.
Its funny, because it literally induces anxiety in me and has no pain killing effects whatsoever. In fact, it's the opposite of what every cannabis proponent claims it to be from what I experienced. Massively addictive, feels worse on my chest than tobacco which was easier to quit, kills my motivation, aggravated all mental health problems I've had in the past. I'd prefer to smoke tobacco but fortunately I gave both up.
@@toaste9026 I have no clue, I don’t think it does the job of a mood stabiliser entirely but it definitely helps me maintain equilibrium more easily. I do use it in conjunction with medications so hard to differentiate what is doing what, but I’ve always found it helped me with feeling stable more consistently.
@@nickn2794 Yeah, people are definitely not smoking it for "medication"... that's the most embarrassing excuse in the history of mankind. It's 100% to numb themselves.
@@nickn2794 if you take too much you just greenout, its not pleasant, I use it for both medicinal (buzz) and recreational (stoned), but never to the point of passing out. If i feel like im sky high i stop and ride it out. Indicas do wonders for your muscles though
Choosing to do pot is not a public health issue, unlike doing your part to stop a global pandemic. I'm sick of these false equivalencies used to justify such selfishness.
@@ThePSmoke Smoking anything has potential health risks, thus it has, and is, a very real social issue since we, collectively, offer forms of government subsidized medical care. Instead, because this is a democracy, each individual, not the Federal government, should decide which substances to consume.
@@juancana457 still ignoring the fact that one's choice not to get vaccinated effects more than just themselves. But if anti-vaxxers acknowledged this then they would also have to acknowledge their selfishness.
You could not be more mis-informed on BP. Since I have been taking it, my blood pressure has been perfect 120/70 and I'm a 53 yrs old ADHD kind of guy and everything has improved. I know drive the speed limit and no yell at people, I've remodled and painted my entire house, best work I have ever done even according to my mother in law! Lol, who states I'm no longer up tight all the time like I use to be. Before I started smoking last year, my BP was 140/89 way to high. Where are u getting you information on all this?
The issue can be with just doing it too often. The medical dose is much smaller than recreational dose which causes more side effects. Also it effects every person differently, moderation is key. The other issue is that is makes you more of what you already are. If you already have mental health issues, it can make them more noticeable when using.
Facts! I micro dose daily with a certain strain and I feel like a million bucks. The wrong strain, over indulgence, and lack of personal body awareness can get you in trouble.
HALLOWEEN POT FARMER SONG !! I got out my pipe and stuffed it with pot You better believe, it held a whole lot. I whipped out a lighter and thumbed up a flame Then sucked down that smoke which comforts my brain. I tried alcohol; and smoked cigarettes Though, they did nothing, but give me regrets. My mom had arthritis and couldn't walk around When I rolled her a joint, she danced on the ground. I thought I was losing my lovemaking knack But, after I smoked some, to me it came back. Soon I decided prices were high So I searched for some ground I wouldn't have to buy. I bargained for seeds from smokers all around Then, got in my truck and drove out of town. I walked through the woods where the wild birds nest And found me the meadow I thought was the best. I dug up the ground and sowed all my seeds Then said a small prayer for strong, healthy weeds. I watered at night with a five-gallon pail The mosquitoes went hungry for I wore a veil. Seven months went by; I thought I would die Till the Halloween moon was high in the sky. At night I went out, in my camouflage suit And used a corn knife to chop down the loot. I hung it up to dry where it couldn't be found. Then came back and got it, when it had turned brown. I trimmed off the buds, and stuffed them in bags Called all my friends and passed out free drags. In less than a week my crop was gone But I flew to St. Thomas with a love hungry blonde!!

Cannabis has been an extended part of our journey, and its benefits have been circling online. And I believe that cannabis can be a big help in science and in our modern medicine. We just have to use it right!
I expected a bit more from this video since this channel is affiliated with McMaster. I have used daily for pain for years and just went back to school for master’s studies in Biomedical Engineering. Very disappointing especially since I just finished another literature review - we need more longitudinal data.
This amazing drug helps me do much!! I eat edibles. Can’t smoke. It takes me to my safe zone away from my panic attacks and anxiety. This drug has managed to help me get my life back on track. When I smoke it, it will lead down the rabbit hole. Idk
I have ptsd. Kush suppresses my dreams. When I used to it a lot it made my head hurt. I stopped using it a lot and I took up the sport of boxing and running instead. Nowadays I use a pen sometimes and edibles. I like the high I get from working out more. I feel more confident fighting my past mental problems by making myself stronger.
let me tell you something, I have been smoking it for 40 years, I am not mentally challenged nor am I having any other effects. as a matter of fact I have a very good memory, great concentration, I don't get hallucinations, nor do I smoke it constantly. I think it depends on how much you use and what grade it is. have a nice day!!
These studies have found that the patients, who used cannabis to treat a range of medical problems including anxiety, had largely improved cognitive performance, reduced clinical symptoms and anxiety-related symptoms as well as a reduced use of conventional medications, including opioids, benzodiazepines, and other mood stabilizers
Honestly, I believe marijuana is great. Some people have bad reactions but for us who don’t. It seriously helps. I struggle with ptsd insomnia bipolar disorder Major depressive disorder with psychosis and anxiety disorder. This “drug” has helps me calm down and think clearer, it helps me sleep, I don’t have as bad anger issues, episodes or anxiety even after my high has wore off. Personally this is the best thing for me. Better than any of my years and years of therapy and any drug the psychiatrist put me on.
I think weed benefits so many ppl that that’s all that’s talked about, I for one have bipolar disorder and even tho I’m a daily smoker I’m trying to stop Bc I really do see as of late how manic it truly makes me. When high I make decisions that appeal to me and seem fun but the moment I wake up the next morning I seriously regret them and feel so uncomfortable. My memory was already not doing well and now it seems like time itself is a blurred line, I have difficulty thinking and speaking clearly and even just taking care of myself. I’m dealing with a lot of mental health issues and it does give that temporary relief but there’s always a cost to anything and personally the cost of smoking weed for me now is starting to really not be worth it
Ironically I participated in an interview and survey just last week with an accredited Canadian School of Medicine - not this one I hasten to add. I was shocked at the 1960s style of this video, particularly in its inclusion of disinformation from discredited or incomplete studies, and even a moral preachiness not supported by experience and evidence. Watching and believing this type of video disinformation can contribute to psychotic episodes including delusion and paranoia. Even worse, medical administrators and policy makers who believe this kind of thing will invariably make bad decisions about public and individual healthcare. A very very very poor showing. Please withdraw this video ASAP before you do further damage.
@@andydixon2980, I was a pot smoker in the late sixties and early seventies. Seems the habit derailed my motivation and direction in life. I quit drinking and smoking pot before I was 21y.o. I didn't find religion or join a twelve step program. One of the few times I learned from other peoples bad experiences. I will say, I feel alcohol has far worse implications than cannabis. Alcohol and tobacco are the true gateway substances.
As a certified pothead yes Cannabis does have an impact on you mentally and physically, As Adults we are responsible for our own actions and should know our limits Im currently now trying to take rehab to reduce the impact cannabis has had on me. The impacts have been both mentally and physically as stated before, Especially my brain I have noticed many issues mentally. I used to always think Cannabis wasn’t as bad as other substances , just childish hopes. Now having to own up to my actions and the truth, i hope I can spread the message to my fellow stoners and keep yall safe from what I now have to go through. A tip I have is to stay away from the black market and never buy products that haven’t been tested counterfeit products are everywhere and so are fake/cheap products . I hope yall stay safe and get to your senses as I did as much as much as we can wish and hope that cannabis is great the truth is we our slowly harming our bodys.
My short term memory is very good. I have a better memory than many people who never used thc at all. I used thc from 16 to 24 years old almost daily. I quit for years and my memory recovered greatly after quitting. I exercise a lot and a study said that helps the brains ability to repair itself through neuroplasticity. However while I was using it and for the first couple months after quitting my short term memory suffered a lot. It’s not healthy but the brains recovery is def possible once you quit for a while. In fact I went to college after quitting and got straight A’s so after 8 years of heavy use and during adolescence I recovered. However I will say this, I had a great memory before I started cannibas and was above average in that department so that could come into play. I was starting out with an excellent memory, I can still remember phone numbers of friends from 30 years ago when we were kids. If somebody starting out with a more average memory it may be more destructive for them.
Being diagnosed bipolar , weed has helped no longer taking 3 drugs for depression that had the capability of destroying my liver and made me emotionalist ...
Thc gives me schizophrenic anxiety but cbd joints make me high even when stores say they don't but in a very relaxed state. I'm already a little "out there" when sober. I have intense moments on thc. It's hard to explain. I notice things and my senses amplify to an unnaturally large degree. Smell, especially hearing, and touch.
It sometimes helps if you balance out with CBD and try Different strains, and maybe stick to Indicas which will have more of a body high and relaxing effects.
@@ChaMilli710 see a therapist man. I felt the same way. Just talk to someone about it. Take a long tolerance break and focus on your mental and physical health. I'm a month sober and feel better off than when I was smoking. I still think about smoking but it won't help with the anxiety. At least mine. If you really need something else just talk to your doctor. I'm on a bipolar medication now and it helps me get to sleep at night and stablize my mood. Your doctor isn't the feds, they genuinely are willing to help.
I been a user for fifty years,and am now 63. Live in my own world and face those anxieties . Mary Jane’s been a good friend of mine. Face your demons and you won’t have to run away from yourself. I can have vivid hallucinations,but not about anything that’s not on my mind. There’s a light in every life,sparked by you.
I am with you, been smoking for years. Cannabis is my friend,works wonders. Do not drink, this medicine has helped me to know end. I can't say anything bad at this time,and probably never will 🙌
This is why they ask you to go clean when treating you. Don't get me wrong. I would smoke dope 24/7 if I could. But I already have a mental illness, thank you.
1. Moderation. 1x a month? How much did these studies give people to smoke? Did they just get people who took 1 or 2 puffs in the morning or actually smoke a joint everyday? 2. It's a medicine. Calling it a drug automatically makes people think of it in a negative light. (Caffeine, sugar, nicotine, alcohol) are drugs too. 3. Abuse: using more than you should. Using it as self medication without proper guidance. 4. Some states in 2021, STILL, have it as a schedule 1 drug. No medicinal use. Right. What about alcohol? Mind my business, ok. 5. Government is a hypocrite. Drugs are bad, D.A.R.E.,War on drugs. Yet get your medicinal Marijuana card and buy from us. Don't grow it yourself or get it from your dealer... 6. Big pharma doesn't like competition. 7. More about control than looking out for the week being off people. There would be a giant push for healthier living. 8. What did I miss? 9. You can make studies at whatever you want. 10. Follow the money.
I started smoking cannabis at a very early age the only bad effects from smoking I experienced was from the fact that it was illegal. expensive and hard to find. In the 80's because of the war on drugs cannabis became really hard to find so i turned to alcohol, alcohol is easy to obtain cheap and socially acceptable. if you want to talk about drugs that are harmful then alcohol is the worst It nearly ruined my life nearly killed me or nearly killed myself with it. I quit drinking at the age of 25 with the HELP of cannabis.15 years later because of the work i do i had to stop consuming cannabis I didn't want to but had to. I've been off alcohol for 30 plus years and off cannabis for over 20 years I can't wait for retirement when i will move to a legal state and start growing my own and begin to enjoy again this beautiful plant god put on earth for a purpose. I hope I feel paranoid and anxious Then i will know I grew the dankest weed and will enjoy every minute of it.
This is all not true. I've been a cannabis consumer for 20 + years. I've never had their negative effects. It's been a savior in allowing me to get off of opiates.
@@Rachelxxc Thats true. But alcohol do the same for people, some have good times drinking by decades, some others their lives got ruined due to alcohol... My question is, why is alcohol legal and weed not?
This is ridiculous. They conducted this study at a time when the entire world is in turmoil and upheaval. She mentioned in 2019 which means this was created after that, 2020 or 2021. What's been happening during this time? Race bating, riots in the streets, buildings burning, people being beaten or even murdered for their beliefs, protesting world wide, pandemic BS, forced mask wearing, social divisions at every level and demographic? Everybody in the world has been either angry, depressed, anxious, or disillusioned, possibly all of the above. Yet, with all the factors and co-factors to choose from,..........it was, the all evil, cannabis. Apparently, they would like us to believe that smoking weed (not a drug, a dried all natural holistic medicinal plant) caused all of these listed conditions. Orange man bad syndrome. Yeah, they're still blaming him for what they have done today. Well, him and cannabis. It's funny how all of these health conditions they reported can also be caused by stress. 🤔 HMMM!
I am not sure about theses studies, however, all of you that think that smoking daily has no negative effect on you at all, please ask people close to you. Ask your partners, your close friends ( if any that are not heavy smokers too). Relationships are seriously affected by smoking weed becoming a priority, by random sleep/ eating patterns, lack of concentration that makes communication really difficult, Irritability that makes people tiptoe around you, lack or responsibility, reliability, accountability, paranoia ( suspicious of people, actions without substantial reasons), anxiety episode, poor personal hygiene, short memory loss, etc. I know that when we enjoy something, we look at only the good impact that it has on us, but let’s not be naive, it does affect people just like anything else done with no moderation.
I have ptsd, adhd , bpd , major depression and anxiety. I have eating disorders and bad sleeping . I smoke modestly not every day or all the time. Usually I can’t sleep at night from paranoia, can’t get out of bed and can’t do anything because of my mental illness. Weed helps me. I can work, eat healthier, have energy. It actually does the opposite for me. It’s like most people get energy from coffee and relax with tea but it’s the other way around for me. When I smoke I’m different person. I can do stuff I can’t usually do and I can stay calm during arguments and it stabilises my mood and keeps my thoughts controlled. It’s not for everyone. It affects everyone differently. Depending on strain and if spin is used.
I been suffering with bipolar disorder since the age of 13 I have taken every psychotropic medication 💊 out there sometimes making me feel like a zombie I started smoking weed 5 years ago and haven't touched another psychotropic medication
They provide cannabis to people with Epilepsy, HIV and cancer patients. Short term they are able to eat food and live more easily. Your information is capped
Those are severe illnesses. If it helps for those people thats great. But what’s the percentage of people that smoke weed that have those illnesses? 5 percent maybe 10. The other 90 is trying to get high.
Instead of asking what affect drugs have on the mind only, we should be asking why a mind would be drawn to a drug in the first place. It is my contention that no healthy, balanced mind seeks out drugs. Drugs, it seems to me due to observations, are sought after by the user to reach a balance or state of feeling 'right' which is lacking at some level. Brain damage from things like fetal or infant lead exposure, sports injuries, et al, may be the culprit in may cases of drug abuse. Once a drug provides the sought after feeling of 'balance', how ever sort a time it is, the user can fall into the quest to repeat and expand that feeling thus becoming a self prescriber and we all know how poorly they are at regulating themselves.
Damn, thats my comment ... but you said it better...except the bit about regulating, some us never use anymore or less, I personally use it for focus and as a motivator.
I have been smoking marijuana for 53 years and take no pharmaceutical drugs. I have 10 years of college and two technical college. I was evaluated at the Lakes Crossing in Sparks, Nevada. I was 60 years old and scored a high cognitive.
It caused me ocd serious mental illness,it took nearly 5 years to recover.it affects people who are more prone to mental health issues but for others it has different negative effects like nervous problems.There are many things in life like love family pet and hobbies.marijuana locks us into a world where we escape reality.
You should have tried O.G Kush weed and cured your ocd. Smoking good weed has helped me be a more patient and loving father.It has helped me slow down from the world's craziness. I do construction and it helps me get a good recovering sleep. I'm a better boss at work because I come in with a clear well rested mind and body. I never smoke during work or driving but only at the appropriate times. I hope you find the cause of your ocd and God bless.
@@MrMisterChiliPepper88 I eat light on meat's mostly vegetables and smoke weed only at night to get optimal sleep.I feel great every day doing construction and at 42 feel young.I think people use many things as an excuse to be less than they are.
I already have a preexisting mental disorder. I have anxiety & panic disorder. I've found that certain strands make my anxiety worse while others make it better. For me a high CBD, lower THC is best. I still enjoy the effects of THC. I just don't need very high doses of it. My husband on the other hand can smoke whatever, whenever & he's fine. I also don't like to smoke in social settings. With close friends it's OK but I don't enjoy being out in public at all. I'd rather enjoy it at home. That way I can enjoy it! I've also found that taking CBD with THC helps tremendously. Public places are overstimultating to me anyway. Add more stimulation from THC & I can have full blown panic attacks. So I'm an evening/night time smoker for that reason. Everyone is different. Become familiar with your own limits. Do not try to go by other's limits.
Complete oversimplification on the topic. Contains a small amount of misinformation. Overlooks fact that prevalence amongst the elderly is for pain management and skews it towards cannabis use occurring mostly in elderly people with anti-social, substance, mental health illnesses. This is intentionally trying to stigmatize its use negatively, when the successful prescribing of cannabis by highly qualified doctors for various common ailments such as insomnia and pain is fully embraced by the medical and medical university community in 2021. If you've come here for up to date info, you've found a slightly provincial mind-set Canadian production that will get you almost there for the 20 y/o state of things cannabis related. Please keep cannabis products away from children and pets, and know your local laws pertaining to its use and possession. GW
I know a lot of people who smoke who say it helps their mental health out tremendously and they don't know what they would do without it it keeps them from being depressed all the time it keeps their anxiety down and just helps their overall mental health that's kind of what I was confused when I see stuff like this thing is bad for mental health issues when I have so many people I know saying it helps them better than the prescription drugs their psychiatrist was giving them but everything affects everybody differently and everybody's is not going to have the same reaction
They say “it helps with my mental health” but they wouldn’t have those mental health issues if they didn’t smoke weed in the first place. THINK ABOUT IT. They’re COPING with their addiction
@@fitafries7274 most times people who drug abuse are victims of some sort of trauma or underlying issues, and because many can't afford therapy or likewise they resort of say cannabis because it alters their state of mind, produced dopamine which makes them laugh like shit, and honestly they have no idea what's really happening in the present moment. So it's almost like they go hand in hand
Yeah a lot of times the negative feeling they’re feeling was caused by weed. Their brain is out of balance or homeostasis when they don’t have the weed now. So then they smoke and say ah that’s better. But that negative feeling was created because they began using weed and have become addicted to it. They literally don’t remember what they were like before they ever tried cannibas. They forgot that they used to be happy on a baseline most of the time before they started weed and the brain chemical imbalance was created.
I see a lot of people that defend weed cus they say it helps them do everyday things. You're pretty much admitting you have a dependency to it. You need bud to help u do the things u should be able to do without any substance. It's like coffee drinkers that can't do anything until they have a cup of coffee. I used to do the same thing. I would smoke to eat, to sleep, to work, relax. I used to do the whole "im not addicted i can stop when i want." But u can cus u dont want to, and when u start feeling like shit and see that ur not the same person anymore and cant hold a conversation without stopping every 10 seconds, u start to think maybe i should stop. And ur like ok this the last time over and over but it never is. And then u finally stop like me and my friends. But then u relapse and it cycles again. I've finally managed to stay sober for a year in 2 months. But for the people that have been smoking since they were a kid for decades, i mean dont bother even trying cus it aint gonna happen ur gonna die with a j in ur hand cus u grew up with that shit and u cant even imagine what it feels to be sober anymore. But let me tell u it's great. When u remove the easy reach for gratification and replace it with something that takes a little more work, you feel invincible. Exercising and eating healthy consistently has completely gotten rid of my depression of many years. I still gotta deal with the anxiety from all the bad experiences with weed and psychedelics. Shout out to lsd tho cus it helped me a lot with quitting weed, it would make me disgusted with smoking just thinking about putting that in my body, and helped me pursue a healthier natural lifestyle. Anyway if u don't like where u are in life and who u r, how u feel, u can live kinda comfortable hiding it all away. If ur old u probably don't give af anymore so i get that. But if it's crazy what the desperation to do something with ur life can do. U rlly can do anything if u rlly want it. Rant over
Dm: Now that you've so thoroughly exaggerated the detrimental effects of cannabis usage, how about doing an honest medical review on the deadly dangerous effects on the bodies of those chumps who have foolishly taken CV-related vaccines? (I'm quite certain that I'd thoroughly enjoy hearing you expertly schmooze that one over.)
Huh? Which "deadly dangerous effects" are you referring to? I'm one of those "chumps" who have "foolishly" taken the Pfizer vax. I'm an old guy who possesses several of the aggravating factors that lead to death when infected by Covid. I have family members and friends who have already died (a lonely agonizing death) before the vax came out. I'm also a person WHO NEVER GETS VACCINATED FOR ANYTHING (since the 70s). But, I also calculated my exposure, my personal risk, my exposure to loved ones who are already sickly and I thoughtfully concluded that getting THIS vaccine was A GOOD IDEA. I have already looked into the claims similar to the ones you made here about it having "deadly dangerous effects". I can't find actual convincing evidence to it being true (except in rare cases). There have been a sprinkling of people who have had reactions to it (even covered up by Moderna and Pfizer, and less so by JJ), but even factoring THAT in, it is STILL a very good bet to enable me to continue my life. If you have some source to share that contradicts what I've laid out, then post it, otherwise, I will continue to see characterizations (like yours) of people vaccinated for covid as being reckless and in bad faith. And yeah, I'm STILL WAITING for the "deadly dangerous effects" to kick in.
@@pheresy1367 I have done "my own extensive research" on the subject pertaining to the safety and efficacy of the "jab", and have, based on said research, no doubt in my mind that the statements I've made are truthful and accurate. I have no idea how much research you've done on the subject, but I must conclude, according to the information that you've provided in your comment, that you are confident enough in the positive information you've received, to trust taking the vaccines. And that is your natural right to do so, as it is my natural right to refuse to take them, mandates be damned. (In closing: Please also take into consideration the fact that once these vaccines are injected into your body, there's no way of removing them, and if I'm correct in my conclusions, you may yet suffer from future negative effects of the vaccine/vaccines you have taken, and if so, must cope with any-and-all negative, possibly deadly, effects, and with little-or-no hope of a remedy. And in closing, all that I have left to say is good luck to you, sir.)
Just wanted to comment that your information is lacking mental health awareness. Several mental health diagnoses also cause memory loss and cognitive impairment. Given what I know as a mental health professional in the U.S., undiagnosed mental health disorders lead to self medicating and all kinds of other things that can also impair brain function not to mention the various other factors that make proving your claims difficult. Thanks for the video and helping knowledge share, however, please be aware of the lack of mental health awareness that’s desperately needed in today’s world.
I think we can safely say there’s at least a link between thc and psychotic symptoms at this point. I mean there will always be one variable or another not accounted for until you lock people away in a lab behind lock and key with only weed. But rather than saying every time but they drank alcohol once too or whatever I think it’s time to acknowledge thc’s power to mess with the mind, especially when used in excess.
The simple fact is that it affects every single person differently. Just cause it makes you feel good doesn’t mean it makes the next person feel good. It’s really that simple
Which means this whole video and argument they are presenting is mute ... you said it ...to each their own.
But at the end of the day,users become zombies.
Oh you know about it do you? I doubt it. That's like saying alcohol doesn't affect everyone the same, yet funnily everyone drunk makes a prick of themsaelves or attacks people or kills them driving.

I will never touch marijuana again. If it helps others that’s great but it ain’t for me. It put me into a horrible psychotic episode years back. There are studies that have shown it brings out schizophrenia in people. I am one of those.
Good to hear that you are leaving marijuana behind if it negatively effected you.
Yeah I'm one of those people that heard "you just haven't found the right strain" from so many people who are able to consume it. Plenty of them say they had similar experiences to mine, and can only use certain types. I believe them. But i think a lot of people need to accept that it truly isn't a miracle drug that's for everyone. The truth is that it is not perfectly safe, and It's addictive. That's okay- a lot of stuff can be, and it still helps others..... Ignoring these truths is as harmful for some as banning it can be for the person next to them. We have to be realistic & take people seriously when discussing medications, especially mind altering ones.
Also- let's support the scientific research to understand more about kratom 😊 another plant people use to get off oxys and fentanyl for good, but can affect some quite badly. A lot of people opposed Federal Regulation of Kratom, but we do need it to be consistently safe and the same for it to be the best it can be for everyone.
You already had schizophrenia and it would have presented with or without cannabis use. It's unfortunate that this particular video references such incomplete data and even fear mongering propaganda from the racist imagination of Anslinger. At least do your own research.
@@marysupernova7780 thing is 1% of the population have it without knowing it. Any drug can wake it up as it were. You are born with this issue so its not the drugs that create this issue. But cannabis is vague without actual balances or measurements of THC and CBD levels or any other factors like other pills too. I love these fake reports or studies about its on the rise or fall. Did they go around and ask everyone do or don't they smoke weed? lol people still believe statistics which are great liars if not done right.
@@marysupernova7780 yes but anyone can pick out the worst in something. over thousands of clubs and pot smokers i have met not one has done any harm to another. So i think that one had other mental issues. The other thing is 1000 uses for cannabis! from fuels, to plastics, paper, woods, insulations, skin care, and many uses for mental issues too. dont blame the drugs blame the person ABUSING it. CAnnabis has bening used by 250 million people as we speak. All things in moderation. No one cares about banning drink do they? The numbers are so small for cannabis vs what cannabis can do for so many applications. Cars are far more dangerous! more died from walking the doggy than cannabis has done in thousands of years. I think of a worse case scenario for anything should be ban burgers? sugars? etc etc?
As a long time cannabinist, I smoked my first joint at 17, in 1968, and am still a regular smoker (no tobacco). I am a retired mechanical engineer, and a supervisor of the engineering dept. of a major restaurant equipment manufacturer. I have experienced no adverse effects, and am a daily smoker, and have been for 53 years.
It's different for everyone....I'v had a few friends whose personality & other things changed for the worse with daily use.
@@MrGarymola Yes I agree! There needs to be more studies, particularly with blood types, cause I have a friend who smoked it for 40 years - you should see him, there isn't much left of his brain, and he's suffered a heart attack, but the personality changes were significant, and it even pushed him to violence once or twice!

Cannabis can definitely trigger Anxiety and Depression... and if your already a very nervous/quiet/shy person it can be worse because it will turn everyday into a self reflection session where all your flaws and anxieties lay bare for everyone to see... and I feel like that’s where most get their schizophrenia from, and don’t let these “not yet proven to be the cause” stickers fool you... cannabis is definitely the cause of mental disorders... or for the very least the antagonizer of them

Yes they are denying. I've know a person which did just weed, he got depressed, started to hear voices and was never the same. He was sane before and the family didn't have a history of mental problems. It is truly shocking. It happened the same to my uncle but for LSD and now they're saying LSD doesn't have collateral effects... Go tell my uncle who had his life ruined...
It got me off of 8 years of anxiety/antidepressant pill pushing for PTSD by the VA.... Pills almost cost me my life several times just by crazy side effects and making things worse in many cases. Blood pressure now stays lower and better, anxiety and depression are far less than they used to and I sleep a bit better.
It's DEFINITELY NOT my medicine having experienced some of the (so-called) short-term effects of forgetfulness and confusion... BUT ... My housemate is a life-long user who (just like you ) has weened himself OFF of serious psych drugs over the years. He experiences NONE of those "side-effects".
Cannabis has saved his life many times over. He smokes up and gets wildly creative and delightfully social. But THE OPPOSITE is true for me. I do enjoy it once in a while when I'm alone and can fall asleep without having to excuse myself, and must consume only a tiny amount.
We are all wired differently for sure.

You think it does until you get off of it and realize how much it made it worse. My husband thought that for 25 years...but in the end he ended up miserable, addicted, with cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome and it only made anxiety and depression worse. And now my son is doing the same thing and hoepfully realizes it soon. Because he is miserable too. Smoking anything into the lungs is not good. And smoking everyday is addicting.

Anonymous medical professional here. This video referenced emergency department admissions for drug use where marijuana was mentioned within their medical records. This is an unreliable piece of information as you’ll find almost 9 times out of 10 that all types of illicit drug users will use marijuana at some point in their lives, and when asked by the doctor about this during an admission, for example heroin overdose, if the patient states that they have a smoke every now and again this will be noted down but the actual ED admission will more likely be from opiate OD and not the cannabis use.

I work at the 3rd largest indoor grow in my state. I also have a background in psychology and had a therapy practice. Cannabis is being used for its THC (the high) to cover up childhood trauma that is not treated (like alcohol ) and denial of addiction. It's simple... if you can't live without it, you're addicted. CBD is a medicine of the future but the industry is selling its product for the addict which wants the high to remain in denial of their addiction instead of treatment of childhood trauma. It's a business and the money comes from addiction, repeat business, and genetic manipulation for higher THC content is necessary to continue to out due the next grower. It's a race to the bottom. Treatment for anxiety or depression is not going to work, it will only continue the problem through denial. Therapy does work, and I recommend age regression hypnotherapy.
You can recommend all of these fancy therapies all day long. Many (most) do not have timely access if they have access at all. Cannabis may be easier to get. If it helps….enough said. The world is not equal.

I agree. This youtube post seems slanted. Right for the start they use deceptive statistics.

That means that a person who has a heroine overdose, who has also used cannabis, is included in their statistics. That's deceptive, right?
Cannabis is not for everyone, but those that do use it and know its results, it is astounding.
I smoked everyday for 8yrs straight I had already depression thought it was helping but long term it made it worse I was abusing weed. I believe it’s okay to smoke in moderation but when you start to smoke everyday that is when it can become a problem. For me it was fine at first but I over did it and didn’t stop my depression and my anxiety got worse now that I don’t smoke I have very little anxiety and depression crazy right!?
Don’t smoke no more🤙🏼
Yeah I’m finding myself to be smoking it everyday for the last two months.
I'm to the point now where I'm smoking almost 3 to 4 times a day. I need to stop, but idk how to be happy without it anymore 😕
How much did they pay you bro?
@@iSoleyy stop now. Trust me
Marijuana has actually helped me cope with my Asperger's much better than when I didn't smoke weed.
Xd this video is so trash m8 , so many wrong informations i also have aspergers and feel the same it helps good to feel normal
Me too. It helped me be more positive, confident, and social. Which has greatly improved my relationships.
It helps me cope with boredom 😒
I have chronic boredom, I need to be constantly stimulated mentally.

No drug is good best high is sober I was alcoholic I left it after so much failures but believe me you can quit every drug
I lost my 20 year old son in a motorcycle accident and it helps me to relax and sleep and 1000 times better than tranquilizers or sleeping tabs.
Your video was informative, However.... "It seems to be one sided"! I mean, "Maybe, Maybe, maybe, BUT it could also be "Maybe NOT, maybe not, maybe not"! It appears from what I heard on this video, "that you're somebody from Canada"? NOT ONE word was mentioned about usage in countries like Jamaica or Isreal, where they've studied it more thoroughly! You forgot to say, "More studies need to be done", when this substance has been around for over 5,000 years and "NOBODY has ever died from using it"!! We need the Entire facts "Not one side of the facts"!!
No maybe about it, all cooked up lies for the ignorant in the hope they'll damage the massive increase in use now people know the truth.
I've had really bad anxiety, depression and stress lately. I don't smoke but my friend gave me some weed and said smoke this it could help.. I have just smoked some and now I'm writing this message lol
Cannabis is a emotion enhancer in my opinion. It can pull you out of a nasty time but can also lead you back down there due to it nostagic effect. I find it quite an enigma listening to 1930s music. Quite anxiety inducing but addictive. Id say its better to suround yourself with people and study stoicism. Anxiety and stress are felt by all but i think its how we deal with it in the moment.
That should be a red flag. Any medication they you need to be able to be emotionally stable WILL cause you to abuse it. Go to therapy and talk to a profetional. Dont self medicate yourself.
@@bjjkickboxing7876 You sir are spot on, I was actually smoking cannabis for about 8 years until recently, at first it just chilled me out and made me happier, then it started to cause me huge anxiety which is why I have kicked it now.
@@stannisbaratheon6725 yeah, that is the sad part about it. Because it isnt as agressive as crack or cocain we tend to treat it like a fun little hobby instead of an actual drug. They should teach cannabis addiction in school, people are learning the jard way and its sad.
@@poopyanalbumhole yeah ive had alot of my friends share the same experience.
A study needs to be done on the food people consume and cannabis. Eating unhealthy combined with a sedentary lifestyle and consuming cannabis is unhealthy. Eating healthy combined with an active lifestyle and consuming cannabis changes the results.
This sounds like a class project by the one chick who has never smoked….
Right?she’s like downloaded medmd information and is reading it..waste of time
...science fair material...
Absolutely!

I've smoked daily for over 30+ years and a lot ( after work only) it has shortened my memory recall of recent issues, yet my long term memory is reasonably sharp. It isn't for everyone and abuse of anything is detrimental. The one thing that it does do is make you question what you have been told. You question, "WHY?"
THIS IS THE REASON IT HAS BEEN A CLASS 1 DRUG . It stops the programming of the fed narrative when you ask questions. TV's and movies are realized to be less than entertaining and being amongst friends is supportive..
It isnt violent like alcohol and other substances can be.
Recently I've put it aside and do wish I'd done it sooner because I was abusing it and justifying it to myself which on reflection, was not good..
Never stop learning, that's the killer.😘
It helps me with my anxiety. Calms me down and allows me to think without my brain going crazy. I used to have extreme depression since I have been smoking I have been living such a happier better life. It's been 6years since I've been a daily smoker. I really appericate what it does for me.

I’m just like you when I smoke
I’m much happier ..When I don’t I’m extremely depressed .Then you watch videos like this and wonder what the fuck are they talking about ?
@@MikeJones-fp9cb I don’t even play the video I know it’s just anti weed bs
It can be a good interim, but it isn't a cure, it's a distraction. We are closer and closer to cures via psychology. Please seek out a psychologist!!!
The problem with weed is it isn’t a long term solution. You’ll see one day, it just stops working the same way on you. Then you’re like wtf and that’s when some people move to opiates or alcohol to fill the tremendous void weed leaves them with once the weed don’t work anymore. You’re just not there yet.
I was hoping for actual information backing up the claims of this video. There is a prevalent use of cannabis among mentally ill people but many feel it is helpful.
Prevalent use amongst those rejected. The mental illness comes before the usage, one of the overlooked wonders of the many beautiful cannabis relationships. Likewise, cannabis use is not associated with development of mental disorders, but rather beckoning the emergence of pre-existing and dormant mental disorders.
A lot of us have been brain damaged by our doctors and now use cannabis to heal through stress relief, pain and most important of all, improved quality of sleep or even quitting alcohol. There’s lots of us getting healthier with Cannabis use💚✅ Education is key and stigma is a bitch.
I had to stop smoking marijuana in early 2001. It was giving me anxiety, a little paranoia. For some stupid reason it lowered my self esteem. Drinking alcohol was fine
It really varies person to person. When I smoke I tend to have long brainstorming sessions. Sometimes this could lead to finding out more about my current challenges and other times I just lay down and do nothing. I think marijuana helps me stay away from more damaging and addicting substances or activities. Daily use increases tolerance too much though, so moderation is a great thing.
How about focusing on serving God and on your salvation. That’ll help you stay away from damaging and addicting activities.
@@fitafries7274 I use it when I want to turn out the world and be in my moment where I focus on my life. It always leads in a way or an other to a moment of worship.
I don't know which God you serve but I'm Christian. I truly believe that Jesus Christ is the one and only messiah and I know that for each and every one of us he has his own ways of reaching out. If you believe that someone is in the wrong it's better to pray and offer a message of wisdom. Not a message that conveys judgment. Because you're advancing not your kingdom, but his. So it would be best to do that inner work and ask the Holy Spirit to give you the right words. And always remember that if the words are not loving, they are not from God, but rather from the flesh. From the human within.
@@fitafries7274 not a christian, but raised jehova. The bible clearly sais 'And god created everything in his image. He gave us plants to use'

I am an LCSW at an inpatient treatment center and I see the symptoms mentioned in this video regularly. Cannabis is like most drugs, helpful at first but as people become dependent and use increases the negative side effects start to increase and create more issues than it helps. Symptoms are more typical in people who have a history of long term daily use of Cannabis. My professional opinion is to try everything else first (therapy, support groups, meditation, yoga, exercise, diet, CBT, EMDR, connecting with people, animal therapy, and so on) before using mind altering substances to help you deal with daily life.
Yes. It used to help me be more patient and relaxed. Now 2 years later of using everyday ..it makes me overthink eveything, gives me negative racing thoughts and causes me to have panick and fear just to go to grocery store. I never likes pot in my teens ( 20 yrs ago) I'm 49 now and quit a week ago and racing thoughts are gone and I have so much more energy. It actually started to cause all the things it used to help me with
Now I will also save alot of money for product and card mmd ect
You say whilst probably giving every single patient like 20 diff tablets of barbs/downers/nsri's etc etc
for anyone who thinks smoking weed is good for dealing with stress HELL no, you should deal with the things on your sober mind. being sober is being yourself so deal with it dont make excuses just to go in a temporary so called ''fun'' high state of being that you get from smoking dope
been 2 days sober im about to give up on this stupid ass demonic drug, made me get alot of negative thoughts, made me do participate in crime, made my parents upset about my use etc etc fuck weed
Couldn't agree more
@@juwo7569 Pretty sure you did those thing's not pot. Some people can't think for themselves.
@@christiandraven9039 weed decreases blood flow to the brain in the long run, so I believe it could definitely impair thinking and judgment…
@@stinabobina6231 yep it affects cognitive. My ex was a pot head and he left me for some loser. Definitely wasn’t thinking straight lol
It negatively effects my mental health unfortunately.
I've been very paranoid
@@pandatorta2241 I was the same way. Even when I stopped. It lasted months later. maybe start therapy and some meditation practices. For me what really helped was focusing on serving God, praying and being active in my faith. It’s worth a try. Here’s a website to check out. INCmedia.org.
In N out Burger usually solves it
There are much more positive affects from marijuana than negative.
I regret geting into it for the first time in high school, and i also regret geting into it later in adult years. I would have less mental health issues, if i wouldn't ever touch it. It's all about relaxation, but too much of that relaxation can cause giving up hobies, interests, working, going to school, building up social life skills, and contacts. Media and people portrays the whole thing as a healing medicine whole time nowadays and that is very dangerous. I regret even trying it, my life would be better if i wouldn't light up first joint. I pray that i will not need it anymore in my life in the future.
Agree
When speaking about the brain you forgot to mention that it stimulates the growth of new brain cells and neurological pathways
Yeah brother, they didn't forget. They just didn't like those particular facts and chose to ignore them. Same old bullshit going on!
Pot has helped through serious depressive episodes, relieved anxiety and helps me sleep. Not to mention pain relief. I have also had negative effects depending on the strain used. It is a mood stabilizer for me as well, with results lasting after the high has passed. In my personal experience and observations of life in general, is less risky than use of alcohol.
Its funny, because it literally induces anxiety in me and has no pain killing effects whatsoever. In fact, it's the opposite of what every cannabis proponent claims it to be from what I experienced. Massively addictive, feels worse on my chest than tobacco which was easier to quit, kills my motivation, aggravated all mental health problems I've had in the past. I'd prefer to smoke tobacco but fortunately I gave both up.
Try cbd bud, helps with the mood with 0 risk for psychoactivitiy, I use it as a mood stabiliser and it’s helped dramatically
@@therogue201 a mood stabilizer that's not psychoactive? How does that work then?
@@toaste9026 I have no clue, I don’t think it does the job of a mood stabiliser entirely but it definitely helps me maintain equilibrium more easily. I do use it in conjunction with medications so hard to differentiate what is doing what, but I’ve always found it helped me with feeling stable more consistently.
One major thing I notice from regular smokers is that they are super moody when they aren't high. Not a good trait
Regardless, cannabis has its good and bad sides and needs to be taken with caution like any other medication.
Yep, everything in moderation once you get dependent on it becomes a problem
But most people don't take it as medication for chronical pain. They take to numb themselves.
@@nickn2794 Yeah, people are definitely not smoking it for "medication"... that's the most embarrassing excuse in the history of mankind. It's 100% to numb themselves.
@@nickn2794 if you take too much you just greenout, its not pleasant, I use it for both medicinal (buzz) and recreational (stoned), but never to the point of passing out. If i feel like im sky high i stop and ride it out. Indicas do wonders for your muscles though
People seem to not understand that you can have great short term effects from cannabis while also having negative long term effects.
I think once you are an adult that whatever you choose to do anything in moderation it is your own choice just like not taking the jab.
Choosing to do pot is not a public health issue, unlike doing your part to stop a global pandemic. I'm sick of these false equivalencies used to justify such selfishness.
@@ThePSmoke You mean scamdemic.
@@ThePSmoke 😂🤣😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡fake woke 😱😱😱😱😱
@@ThePSmoke Smoking anything has potential health risks, thus it has, and is, a very real social issue since we, collectively, offer forms of government subsidized medical care.

You could not be more mis-informed on BP. Since I have been taking it, my blood pressure has been perfect 120/70 and I'm a 53 yrs old ADHD kind of guy and everything has improved. I know drive the speed limit and no yell at people, I've remodled and painted my entire house, best work I have ever done even according to my mother in law! Lol, who states I'm no longer up tight all the time like I use to be. Before I started smoking last year, my BP was 140/89 way to high. Where are u getting you information on all this?
You work better stoned?
@@larrytate1657 - Many people are more focused after smoking. Some professional athletes for example. The same rules don’t apply to everybody.
I smoked weed once and build a house but then when I got sober I just painted it
Yeah, the blood pressure thing is not correct. I used to have low BP, now it's high (I'm old, smoked for 50 years). But I sure do wish it was true!
The issue can be with just doing it too often. The medical dose is much smaller than recreational dose which causes more side effects. Also it effects every person differently, moderation is key. The other issue is that is makes you more of what you already are. If you already have mental health issues, it can make them more noticeable when using.
Facts! I micro dose daily with a certain strain and I feel like a million bucks. The wrong strain, over indulgence, and lack of personal body awareness can get you in trouble.
HALLOWEEN POT FARMER SONG !!
I got out my pipe and stuffed it with pot
You better believe, it held a whole lot.
I whipped out a lighter and thumbed up a flame
Then sucked down that smoke which comforts my brain.
I tried alcohol; and smoked cigarettes
Though, they did nothing, but give me regrets.
My mom had arthritis and couldn't walk around
When I rolled her a joint, she danced on the ground.
I thought I was losing my lovemaking knack
But, after I smoked some, to me it came back.
Soon I decided prices were high
So I searched for some ground I wouldn't have to buy.
I bargained for seeds from smokers all around
Then, got in my truck and drove out of town.
I walked through the woods where the wild birds nest
And found me the meadow I thought was the best.
I dug up the ground and sowed all my seeds
Then said a small prayer for strong, healthy weeds.
I watered at night with a five-gallon pail
The mosquitoes went hungry for I wore a veil.
Seven months went by; I thought I would die
Till the Halloween moon was high in the sky.
At night I went out, in my camouflage suit
And used a corn knife to chop down the loot.
I hung it up to dry where it couldn't be found.
Then came back and got it, when it had turned brown.
I trimmed off the buds, and stuffed them in bags
Called all my friends and passed out free drags.
In less than a week my crop was gone
But I flew to St. Thomas with a love hungry blonde!!

I expected a bit more from this video since this channel is affiliated with McMaster. I have used daily for pain for years and just went back to school for master’s studies in Biomedical Engineering. Very disappointing especially since I just finished another literature review - we need more longitudinal data.
This amazing drug helps me do much!! I eat edibles. Can’t smoke. It takes me to my safe zone away from my panic attacks and anxiety. This drug has managed to help me get my life back on track. When I smoke it, it will lead down the rabbit hole. Idk
Ah men bro
I have ptsd. Kush suppresses my dreams. When I used to it a lot it made my head hurt. I stopped using it a lot and I took up the sport of boxing and running instead. Nowadays I use a pen sometimes and edibles. I like the high I get from working out more. I feel more confident fighting my past mental problems by making myself stronger.
let me tell you something, I have been smoking it for 40 years, I am not mentally challenged nor am I having any other effects. as a matter of fact I have a very good memory, great concentration, I don't get hallucinations, nor do I smoke it constantly. I think it depends on how much you use and what grade it is. have a nice day!!
KMac r u saying that emotionally speaking that cannabis has no side effect at all?!
@@hanaketa6827 if I have any side effects that are bad, well, I don't know what they might be. I don't seem to have anything going on yet, LOL.
These studies have found that the patients, who used cannabis to treat a range of medical problems including anxiety, had largely improved cognitive performance, reduced clinical symptoms and anxiety-related symptoms as well as a reduced use of conventional medications, including opioids, benzodiazepines, and other mood stabilizers
Honestly, I believe marijuana is great. Some people have bad reactions but for us who don’t. It seriously helps. I struggle with ptsd insomnia bipolar disorder Major depressive disorder with psychosis and anxiety disorder. This “drug” has helps me calm down and think clearer, it helps me sleep, I don’t have as bad anger issues, episodes or anxiety even after my high has wore off. Personally this is the best thing for me. Better than any of my years and years of therapy and any drug the psychiatrist put me on.
There are a few mental health conditions that you missed out from your list. Considering you seem to be trying to play "mental illness bingo".
🤡😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣ur full of it
Exactly
And no one has ever died from a cannabis overdose.
I think weed benefits so many ppl that that’s all that’s talked about, I for one have bipolar disorder and even tho I’m a daily smoker I’m trying to stop Bc I really do see as of late how manic it truly makes me. When high I make decisions that appeal to me and seem fun but the moment I wake up the next morning I seriously regret them and feel so uncomfortable. My memory was already not doing well and now it seems like time itself is a blurred line, I have difficulty thinking and speaking clearly and even just taking care of myself. I’m dealing with a lot of mental health issues and it does give that temporary relief but there’s always a cost to anything and personally the cost of smoking weed for me now is starting to really not be worth it
@Juliette Do you think your memory problems, difficulty thinking and speaking is from the bipolar disorder?
Personally I know more people having problems due to alcohol than I do from cannabis ..
Ironically I participated in an interview and survey just last week with an accredited Canadian School of Medicine - not this one I hasten to add. I was shocked at the 1960s style of this video, particularly in its inclusion of disinformation from discredited or incomplete studies, and even a moral preachiness not supported by experience and evidence. Watching and believing this type of video disinformation can contribute to psychotic episodes including delusion and paranoia. Even worse, medical administrators and policy makers who believe this kind of thing will invariably make bad decisions about public and individual healthcare. A very very very poor showing. Please withdraw this video ASAP before you do further damage.
Cannabis might help some people. Personally I wished I had never touched the stuff.
How did it effect your life?
@@andydixon2980, I was a pot smoker in the late sixties and early seventies. Seems the habit derailed my motivation and direction in life. I quit drinking and smoking pot before I was 21y.o. I didn't find religion or join a twelve step program. One of the few times I learned from other peoples bad experiences. I will say, I feel alcohol has far worse implications than cannabis. Alcohol and tobacco are the true gateway substances.
As a certified pothead yes Cannabis does have an impact on you mentally and physically,
As Adults we are responsible for our own actions and should know our limits
Im currently now trying to take rehab to reduce the impact cannabis has had on me. The impacts have been both mentally and physically as stated before, Especially my brain I have noticed many issues mentally. I used to always think Cannabis wasn’t as bad as other substances , just childish hopes. Now having to own up to my actions and the truth, i hope I can spread the message to my fellow stoners and keep yall safe from what I now have to go through. A tip I have is to stay away from the black market and never buy products that haven’t been tested counterfeit products are everywhere and so are fake/cheap products . I hope yall stay safe and get to your senses as I did as much as much as we can wish and hope that cannabis is great the truth is we our slowly harming our bodys.
My short term memory is very good. I have a better memory than many people who never used thc at all. I used thc from 16 to 24 years old almost daily. I quit for years and my memory recovered greatly after quitting. I exercise a lot and a study said that helps the brains ability to repair itself through neuroplasticity. However while I was using it and for the first couple months after quitting my short term memory suffered a lot. It’s not healthy but the brains recovery is def possible once you quit for a while. In fact I went to college after quitting and got straight A’s so after 8 years of heavy use and during adolescence I recovered. However I will say this, I had a great memory before I started cannibas and was above average in that department so that could come into play. I was starting out with an excellent memory, I can still remember phone numbers of friends from 30 years ago when we were kids. If somebody starting out with a more average memory it may be more destructive for them.

@@ChaMilli710 see a therapist man. I felt the same way. Just talk to someone about it. Take a long tolerance break and focus on your mental and physical health. I'm a month sober and feel better off than when I was smoking. I still think about smoking but it won't help with the anxiety. At least mine.

1. Moderation. 1x a month? How much did these studies give people to smoke? Did they just get people who took 1 or 2 puffs in the morning or actually smoke a joint everyday?
2. It's a medicine. Calling it a drug automatically makes people think of it in a negative light. (Caffeine, sugar, nicotine, alcohol) are drugs too.
3. Abuse: using more than you should. Using it as self medication without proper guidance.
4. Some states in 2021, STILL, have it as a schedule 1 drug. No medicinal use. Right. What about alcohol? Mind my business, ok.
5. Government is a hypocrite. Drugs are bad, D.A.R.E.,War on drugs. Yet get your medicinal Marijuana card and buy from us. Don't grow it yourself or get it from your dealer...
6. Big pharma doesn't like competition.
7. More about control than looking out for the week being off people. There would be a giant push for healthier living.
8. What did I miss?
9. You can make studies at whatever you want.
10. Follow the money.
Puff puff pass
I started smoking cannabis at a very early age the only bad effects from smoking I experienced was from the fact that it was illegal. expensive and hard to find. In the 80's because of the war on drugs cannabis became really hard to find so i turned to alcohol, alcohol is easy to obtain cheap and socially acceptable. if you want to talk about drugs that are harmful then alcohol is the worst It nearly ruined my life nearly killed me or nearly killed myself with it. I quit drinking at the age of 25 with the HELP of cannabis.15 years later because of the work i do i had to stop consuming cannabis I didn't want to but had to. I've been off alcohol for 30 plus years and off cannabis for over 20 years I can't wait for retirement when i will move to a legal state and start growing my own and begin to enjoy again this beautiful plant god put on earth for a purpose. I hope I feel paranoid and anxious Then i will know I grew the dankest weed and will enjoy every minute of it.
This is all not true. I've been a cannabis consumer for 20 + years. I've never had their negative effects. It's been a savior in allowing me to get off of opiates.
just because it doesn't affect you in anyway doesn't mean it doesn't affect others... why don't people understand that LMAO

This is ridiculous. They conducted this study at a time when the entire world is in turmoil and upheaval. She mentioned in 2019 which means this was created after that, 2020 or 2021. What's been happening during this time? Race bating, riots in the streets, buildings burning, people being beaten or even murdered for their beliefs, protesting world wide, pandemic BS, forced mask wearing, social divisions at every level and demographic? Everybody in the world has been either angry, depressed, anxious, or disillusioned, possibly all of the above. Yet, with all the factors and co-factors to choose from,..........it was, the all evil, cannabis. Apparently, they would like us to believe that smoking weed (not a drug, a dried all natural holistic medicinal plant) caused all of these listed conditions. Orange man bad syndrome. Yeah, they're still blaming him for what they have done today. Well, him and cannabis. It's funny how all of these health conditions they reported can also be caused by stress. 🤔 HMMM!
Never fails to lift my mood.
I am not sure about theses studies, however, all of you that think that smoking daily has no negative effect on you at all, please ask people close to you. Ask your partners, your close friends ( if any that are not heavy smokers too).
Relationships are seriously affected by smoking weed becoming a priority, by random sleep/ eating patterns, lack of concentration that makes communication really difficult, Irritability that makes people tiptoe around you, lack or responsibility, reliability, accountability, paranoia ( suspicious of people, actions without substantial reasons), anxiety episode, poor personal hygiene, short memory loss, etc.
I know that when we enjoy something, we look at only the good impact that it has on us, but let’s not be naive, it does affect people just like anything else done with no moderation.
More so than many other things even. We are literally changing the balance of chemicals in our brain when we abuse a drug daily to get high.
I been smoking 37 years and can quit anytime. I haven't smoked in 3 days and I'm just fine.
Go a year then come back. 3 days lol
Works differently for each individual,. If it works for you,the help and possibilities are endless ✌
I have ptsd, adhd , bpd , major depression and anxiety.
I have eating disorders and bad sleeping .
I smoke modestly not every day or all the time.
Usually I can’t sleep at night from paranoia, can’t get out of bed and can’t do anything because of my mental illness. Weed helps me. I can work, eat healthier, have energy. It actually does the opposite for me.
It’s like most people get energy from coffee and relax with tea but it’s the other way around for me.
When I smoke I’m different person. I can do stuff I can’t usually do and I can stay calm during arguments and it stabilises my mood and keeps my thoughts controlled. It’s not for everyone. It affects everyone differently. Depending on strain and if spin is used.
I saw reefer madness in high school class. This is a new version of BS.
Totally agree
I been suffering with bipolar disorder since the age of 13 I have taken every psychotropic medication 💊 out there sometimes making me feel like a zombie I started smoking weed 5 years ago and haven't touched another psychotropic medication
They provide cannabis to people with Epilepsy, HIV and cancer patients. Short term they are able to eat food and live more easily. Your information is capped
Those are severe illnesses. If it helps for those people thats great. But what’s the percentage of people that smoke weed that have those illnesses? 5 percent maybe 10. The other 90 is trying to get high.
Where did you get your information from the DEA
Instead of asking what affect drugs have on the mind only, we should be asking why a mind would be drawn to a drug in the first place. It is my contention that no healthy, balanced mind seeks out drugs. Drugs, it seems to me due to observations, are sought after by the user to reach a balance or state of feeling 'right' which is lacking at some level. Brain damage from things like fetal or infant lead exposure, sports injuries, et al, may be the culprit in may cases of drug abuse. Once a drug provides the sought after feeling of 'balance', how ever sort a time it is, the user can fall into the quest to repeat and expand that feeling thus becoming a self prescriber and we all know how poorly they are at regulating themselves.
Damn, thats my comment ... but you said it better...except the bit about regulating, some us never use anymore or less, I personally use it for focus and as a motivator.
who else is currently high?.. 👀
I have been smoking marijuana for 53 years and take no pharmaceutical drugs. I have 10 years of college and two technical college. I was evaluated at the Lakes Crossing in Sparks, Nevada. I was 60 years old and scored a high cognitive.
Marijuana has helped you have a good imagination and be inspired.
@@fernandovillanueva2429 you have an engineering degree, art degree and your own attorney.
It caused me ocd serious mental illness,it took nearly 5 years to recover.it affects people who are more prone to mental health issues but for others it has different negative effects like nervous problems.There are many things in life like love family pet and hobbies.marijuana locks us into a world where we escape reality.
You should have tried O.G Kush weed and cured your ocd. Smoking good weed has helped me be a more patient and loving father.It has helped me slow down from the world's craziness. I do construction and it helps me get a good recovering sleep. I'm a better boss at work because I come in with a clear well rested mind and body. I never smoke during work or driving but only at the appropriate times. I hope you find the cause of your ocd and God bless.
No one can escape reality except when we die that’s it
@@MrMisterChiliPepper88 What if this isn't even reality.What if reality is dying.Think about that.
@@rolando3853 yeah it could be I’m not disagreeing with you!
@@MrMisterChiliPepper88 I eat light on meat's mostly vegetables and smoke weed only at night to get optimal sleep.I feel great every day doing construction and at 42 feel young.I think people use many things as an excuse to be less than they are.
I already have a preexisting mental disorder. I have anxiety & panic disorder. I've found that certain strands make my anxiety worse while others make it better. For me a high CBD, lower THC is best. I still enjoy the effects of THC. I just don't need very high doses of it. My husband on the other hand can smoke whatever, whenever & he's fine. I also don't like to smoke in social settings. With close friends it's OK but I don't enjoy being out in public at all. I'd rather enjoy it at home. That way I can enjoy it! I've also found that taking CBD with THC helps tremendously. Public places are overstimultating to me anyway. Add more stimulation from THC & I can have full blown panic attacks. So I'm an evening/night time smoker for that reason.
Everyone is different. Become familiar with your own limits. Do not try to go by other's limits.
Same story for me ❤️
At first it was good, afterwards, it I realized it was making me procrastinate and increased my depression.

Complete oversimplification on the topic. Contains a small amount of misinformation. Overlooks fact that prevalence amongst the elderly is for pain management and skews it towards cannabis use occurring mostly in elderly people with anti-social, substance, mental health illnesses. This is intentionally trying to stigmatize its use negatively, when the successful prescribing of cannabis by highly qualified doctors for various common ailments such as insomnia and pain is fully embraced by the medical and medical university community in 2021. If you've come here for up to date info, you've found a slightly provincial mind-set Canadian production that will get you almost there for the 20 y/o state of things cannabis related. Please keep cannabis products away from children and pets, and know your local laws pertaining to its use and possession. GW
Helps me with ptsd and pain. It’s changed my life. Also helps my adhd. I can function fine. Work, workout etc.
I know a lot of people who smoke who say it helps their mental health out tremendously and they don't know what they would do without it it keeps them from being depressed all the time it keeps their anxiety down and just helps their overall mental health that's kind of what I was confused when I see stuff like this thing is bad for mental health issues when I have so many people I know saying it helps them better than the prescription drugs their psychiatrist was giving them but everything affects everybody differently and everybody's is not going to have the same reaction
They say “it helps with my mental health” but they wouldn’t have those mental health issues if they didn’t smoke weed in the first place. THINK ABOUT IT. They’re COPING with their addiction
@@charlesg7926 exactly. It’s like which came first, the egg or the chicken. The mental health or the weed. 🤷🏻♀️
@@fitafries7274 most times people who drug abuse are victims of some sort of trauma or underlying issues, and because many can't afford therapy or likewise they resort of say cannabis because it alters their state of mind, produced dopamine which makes them laugh like shit, and honestly they have no idea what's really happening in the present moment. So it's almost like they go hand in hand
@@incompetent_echo that makes sense
Yeah a lot of times the negative feeling they’re feeling was caused by weed. Their brain is out of balance or homeostasis when they don’t have the weed now. So then they smoke and say ah that’s better. But that negative feeling was created because they began using weed and have become addicted to it. They literally don’t remember what they were like before they ever tried cannibas. They forgot that they used to be happy on a baseline most of the time before they started weed and the brain chemical imbalance was created.
So who are you and where do you get your info?
I see a lot of people that defend weed cus they say it helps them do everyday things. You're pretty much admitting you have a dependency to it. You need bud to help u do the things u should be able to do without any substance. It's like coffee drinkers that can't do anything until they have a cup of coffee. I used to do the same thing. I would smoke to eat, to sleep, to work, relax. I used to do the whole "im not addicted i can stop when i want." But u can cus u dont want to, and when u start feeling like shit and see that ur not the same person anymore and cant hold a conversation without stopping every 10 seconds, u start to think maybe i should stop. And ur like ok this the last time over and over but it never is. And then u finally stop like me and my friends. But then u relapse and it cycles again. I've finally managed to stay sober for a year in 2 months. But for the people that have been smoking since they were a kid for decades, i mean dont bother even trying cus it aint gonna happen ur gonna die with a j in ur hand cus u grew up with that shit and u cant even imagine what it feels to be sober anymore. But let me tell u it's great. When u remove the easy reach for gratification and replace it with something that takes a little more work, you feel invincible. Exercising and eating healthy consistently has completely gotten rid of my depression of many years. I still gotta deal with the anxiety from all the bad experiences with weed and psychedelics. Shout out to lsd tho cus it helped me a lot with quitting weed, it would make me disgusted with smoking just thinking about putting that in my body, and helped me pursue a healthier natural lifestyle. Anyway if u don't like where u are in life and who u r, how u feel, u can live kinda comfortable hiding it all away. If ur old u probably don't give af anymore so i get that. But if it's crazy what the desperation to do something with ur life can do. U rlly can do anything if u rlly want it. Rant over
I wonder how many mothers completely ignorant to the subject, liked this video?
5:08 homie be smoking like an OG
Just curious, if this video was put out by big pharma. It sure sounds like a modified version of “Reefer Madness”.
You nailed it, of course it is, follows the script they like.
Dm:
Now that you've so thoroughly exaggerated the detrimental effects of cannabis usage, how about doing an honest medical review on the deadly dangerous effects on the bodies of those chumps who have foolishly taken CV-related vaccines?
(I'm quite certain that I'd thoroughly enjoy hearing you expertly schmooze that one over.)
Huh? Which "deadly dangerous effects" are you referring to? I'm one of those "chumps" who have "foolishly" taken the Pfizer vax.
I'm an old guy who possesses several of the aggravating factors that lead to death when infected by Covid. I have family members and friends who have already died (a lonely agonizing death) before the vax came out. I'm also a person WHO NEVER GETS VACCINATED FOR ANYTHING (since the 70s).
But, I also calculated my exposure, my personal risk, my exposure to loved ones who are already sickly and I thoughtfully concluded that getting THIS vaccine was A GOOD IDEA.
I have already looked into the claims similar to the ones you made here about it having "deadly dangerous effects". I can't find actual convincing evidence to it being true (except in rare cases). There have been a sprinkling of people who have had reactions to it (even covered up by Moderna and Pfizer, and less so by JJ), but even factoring THAT in, it is STILL a very good bet to enable me to continue my life.
If you have some source to share that contradicts what I've laid out, then post it, otherwise, I will continue to see characterizations (like yours) of people vaccinated for covid as being reckless and in bad faith.
And yeah, I'm STILL WAITING for the "deadly dangerous effects" to kick in.
@@pheresy1367 I have done "my own extensive research" on the subject pertaining to the safety and efficacy of the "jab", and have, based on said research, no doubt in my mind that the statements I've made are truthful and accurate. I have no idea how much research you've done on the subject, but I must conclude, according to the information that you've provided in your comment, that you are confident enough in the positive information you've received, to trust taking the vaccines. And that is your natural right to do so, as it is my natural right to refuse to take them, mandates be damned.
(In closing:
Please also take into consideration the fact that once these vaccines are injected into your body, there's no way of removing them, and if I'm correct in my conclusions, you may yet suffer from future negative effects of the vaccine/vaccines you have taken, and if so, must cope with any-and-all negative, possibly deadly, effects, and with little-or-no hope of a remedy. And in closing, all that I have left to say is good luck to you, sir.)
This is exactly what should be taught in school the facts not the nonsense
Just wanted to comment that your information is lacking mental health awareness. Several mental health diagnoses also cause memory loss and cognitive impairment. Given what I know as a mental health professional in the U.S., undiagnosed mental health disorders lead to self medicating and all kinds of other things that can also impair brain function not to mention the various other factors that make proving your claims difficult. Thanks for the video and helping knowledge share, however, please be aware of the lack of mental health awareness that’s desperately needed in today’s world.
I think we can safely say there’s at least a link between thc and psychotic symptoms at this point. I mean there will always be one variable or another not accounted for until you lock people away in a lab behind lock and key with only weed. But rather than saying every time but they drank alcohol once too or whatever I think it’s time to acknowledge thc’s power to mess with the mind, especially when used in excess.
This video is from 9 months ago ? I wonder if the studies were that recent ? It seems extremely outdated .
