Long-term marijuana abuse can lead to physical and psychological marijuana addiction. Heavy, long-term marijuana users develop physical dependence on the drug and withdrawal symptoms upon quitting. Marijuana withdrawal symptoms typically include irritability, sleeplessness, anxiety, impaired appetite and aggression. Drug-impaired driving will also increase if marijuana is legalized. Marijuana is already a significant causal factor in highway crashes, injuries and deaths. In a recent national roadside survey of weekend nighttime drivers, 8.6 percent tested positive for marijuana or its metabolites, nearly four times the percentage of drivers with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 g/dL (2.2 percent).

What you've just described is psychological dependence. That can all happen if you're addicted to video games, TV, sex, the internet, among other things. In fact, even if it is somewhat physiological, there is one larger widespread drug out there that is more addictive than cannabis which can give you similar "withdrawal" symptoms. Caffeine, which has to be the most popular "drug" out there, is more dangerous than cannabis, and is also more addictive. You could viably OD on caffeine, especially if you're using it in a powdered on concentrated form. It would be in grams. You could not viably OD on cannabis! To OD you would have to eat around 22 kg in a small period of time, and smoke around 680 kg in 15 minutes.

I think the people who smoke weed and go to harder drugs would’ve gotten to them even if they didn’t start at weed. It’s all coincidence. I know plenty of people who have only smoked weed, including myself, and would never dream of going to anything else.
A big reason people who smoke weed go to harder drugs is because of their dealers. A dealer will tell their client that they don't have weed this week and will offer a harder drug instead. If weed was made legal, then people wouldn't have to worry about shady dealers.
Yep. Most of the people I know who smoke herb don’t mess with any other stuff and/or don’t like pills. I used to drink a lot, but once I started smoking, I stopped drinking almost completely now. So, that myth of being a gateway to other drugs isn’t always accurate.
I worked with a guy who was totally open about the drugs he and his flatmate did and sold. He didn't see a problem with it and you couldn't tell from looking at him that he used drugs. Also I'm surprised the Governments of the world haven't figured out the amount of money they'd get from legalising drugs as you can be sure people would rather buy their drugs from a pharmacy where you could guarantee the drugs pureness than from some dodgy guy who may have cut them with all manner of things from baby powder to rat poison.
Same! And like the first comment said, the fact that we go through dispensaries instead of dealers helps prevent us from going on to harder drugs. But i personally take high CBD for my PTSD, anxiety, and insomnia. It helps me function and helps me *sleep.* Something I've struggled with for as long as I can remember. While all my friends at a party get blackout drunk, fall asleep puking over a toilet, get hangovers that prevent them from going to work the next day, etc. I take a little 5mg thc gummy, get a little dizzy and giggly, and pass out for a full, deep sleep. Even less stigmatized drugs feel less appealing to me. Weed is such a mild, tame drug that I really enjoy for it's simplicity.
@yeet - Uhmmmm, no. That's not exactly how it works. Although they both interact with cannabinoid receptors, they do so differently. If the THC has already entered your system and bound to your cannabinoid receptors, then taking CBD later won't actually have that leveling out effect. You personally only have a set number of cannabinoid receptors available. Regardless of whether they pair up with the CBD or the THC, once they pair up they're no longer available for anything else for a set timeframe. In theory, if you were to take both the CBD and THC at the same time, it should pretty much cancel out the THC. In practice, this would be impossible to achieve due to several factors. It would take endless testing to determine the precise amounts needed to balance each other out exactly considering everyone has their own individual composition of cannabinoid receptors. Currently, only two cannabinoid receptors have been identified, although it is believed there are at least three, or possibly even 4. CB1 receptors are primarily found in the brain & nervous system while CB2 receptors are concentrated mostly in the immune system & organs. Although THC (an antagonist) binds to both CB1 and CB2 receptors CBD (an indirect antagonist) also interacts despite not technically 'binding'. It's really easy to understand this when you think of it like this - (the same principle also applies to things like antihistamines) Think of it as kind of like trying to put a square peg into a round hole, but the pegs don't go completely through the holes. The pegs are slightly different sizes, and each of these two pegs is drawn towards (they're able to interact with) your cannabinoid receptors. To keep it simple we'll say that your receptors are all circular holes. The THC are round pegs (antagonist = the perfect match) and the CBD will be the square pegs, however, they are slightly smaller than the round pegs which means they can also sit inside of the round hole (indirect antagonist = eliciting a different response) When the round THC peg gets to the round receptor hole it matches up perfectly and it plugs the hole - this is known as binding to the receptor. Whereas when the square CBD peg gets to that round hole because it's a different shape it cannot fill up the hole perfectly and therefore it cannot plug the hole completely. And the receptor itself reacts differently depending upon whichever peg it has been paired with (antagonist vs indirect antagonist) I hope this helps you to understand at least a little better how that system works.
You can quote whatever, whenever, friend. I won't stop you. Another good one: You can't teach an old dog new tricks, but you can't teach a dumb dog anything.
Why don''t they just make it 18+ if you wanted to ban everything that was dangerous cigarettes, cars, chewing tobacco, alcohol, All that was dangerous but they just made it illegal to everyone who was not 18+. Do the same with marijuana
If they decriminalize weed in a state, do people who were jailed for a minimum sentence get freed and/or have the incident struck from their record? VERY curious.
Even if it was legalized on a federal level that wouldn't be the case. By any rational measurement it should be, but it isn't. The president would have to pardon and exonerate the millions of people we've arrested for nonviolent drug offenses and I don't see any leader having the balls to do so. The government would also have to admit it was wrong and was knowingly lying and deceiving the american people and it would never do that.
OMG. That's terrifying. Seriously??? So imagine alcohol becomes illegal (prohibition happens again hypothetically), then 1yr later its legal in all states again and I'd still have to sit in jail for that sentence?
Look into the source though, as Adam is kinda misquoting it. While it's true that almost no one has dies of marijuana overdose (there is actually a couple), he's comparing apples to oranges. The number for marijuana only covers drug overdoses, while alcohol covered anything from drunk suicide to drunk driving. Most of the rest was from long-term abuse. The tobacco stat is similar, which is funny, as many of the health problems from smoking tobacco comes from inhaling burning fumes, which also happens when you smoke weed, the most popular way to take marijuanna.
Missed opportunity to point out that even the word "marijuana" was chosen as the common term because it *sounded more Mexican*. Always seemed strange to me that the official name for the drug sounds like something people would say jokingly to each other while lounging in the shade under a coconut palm. The more you know. 🌠
yeah, if you were walking, would have been all for you, but driving while high is VERY dangerous, glad to see people's commenting the same thing. Hope you learned a lesson, but didn't get f*cked over for the rest of your life for going to jail
I’m all for the legalization of weed. … even more than that … however not down with Driving while impaired by any substance…. Not the same man. Not the same.
Honestly it's ridiculous that it's still banned. Not even hardcore conservatives are against it anymore. I'm surprised the government still is considering if it was legalized that it would be a source of tax income.
Lol at "tax revenue". They already heavily tax anyone they catch with it. Go get caught with some weed and see how much you end up having to pay. Also dont be dumb enough to think they government is heavily involved in the selling of illegal drugs. Why legalize and collect "taxes" when they can keep it illegal, sell it anyway and pocket all of the revenue?
cityraildude dude... do you not understand the influence america has in regulating laws in every other country. you seem butthurt by this show and american history in general from looking at your other comments. edit: i did some research and found that in 1961 an international treaty was adopted by the Single Convention of Narcotic Drugs where... "Marijuana is a Schedule I drug under this treaty, which means it’s flatly, totally forbidden. Countries can decriminalize marijuana use, but no signatory to the treaty can legalize either use or cultivation." so pretty much america told the world what to do and because we are a big influence they did. sad.
I remember hearing quite recently that the dare programme actually cherrypicked the results so that they still keep getting funded even though it was failure from the beginning
I REMEMBER THE DARE PROGRAM!! I was in elementary school and the officer who told us not to do drugs and gave us an entire speech on it, turned out to be a drug addict 😂😂 i dont do drugs but i just find that hilarious
The people in the comments "Uhhh you still have to SMOKE it? And smoking is bad?" Yes because the only way of intaking it is through smoking. Because no one has heard of pot brownies. Yes, you can bake it into brownies. Cookies. Cake. Make it into a chocolate bar. The list goes on and on. Please PLEASE try researching something before shooting your mouths off. I swear to God it's not painful!
I had a THC patch put it on my neck and while I was playing Xbox I was like why am I high right now? But then I'm like ohhhh it's the patch lmao I love it no smell no smoke 😇
The way it's administered changed the intensity and duration of weed though and some people have certain preferences as to what they want to get out of their weed.
Wheatboi I don't think the majority of the populace is that ignorant. Ive never smoked or done drugs but i know that. Have you actually read the comments?
Damn...just damn...Adam, you should do a lecture tour on this topic alone.Then as a finale to the tour, organize a rally on the steps of congress in DC. Please think about it.
a bag of weed, a bag of weed, oh everything is better with a bag of weed. it’s the only hope you will ever need because everything is better with a bag of WEED!
Honestly this video has changed my mind on the effects of weed. I’m still not a fan due to the smell of it and the way people take it expecting it not to clash with any medication they may also be taking. But I can’t possibly vilify people for smoking it now. Not adults anyway. Thanks Adam, you’ve really changed my perspective!
Haha. And how many people you figure DON'T enjoy it responsibly? Tens or Hundreds of thousands a year considering how many drug rehab clinics there are in the US....
the only way smoking too much cannabis can kill you is when you pass out halfway through your tenth joint and it falls on your bed and sets you on fire. xD
mishi kim Or you get stoned, get behind the wheel of a car (driving blazed) and wrap it around a pole at 70 mph, which has happened similarly in the past hundreds of times.
mishi kim Eh, I tell the truth. Car accidents caused by drugs, even weed, are far too many. They say 0 deaths from weed, but probably 1,000 deaths from being stoned and killing someone in their car. It's not smoking the weed that kills anyone. It's what people do after they've smoked a quarter ounce. But I never bring stuff like this up at parties.
I'm seeing lots of comments stupid enough to make me wince a little, mostly either boiling down to "but brain development tho", which Adam addressed, or "but smoke tho". That's never been an argument compelling enough to make cigarettes (or campfires for that matter) illegal, and I take it nobody's heard of pot brownies or vaping or whatever.
Google Plus Sucks Then let make cigarettes illegal, too. Let's get rid of the problem, not create another one just because it's not as bad as the one we already have
For anyone still confused, the reason why marijuana gets labeled as a gateway drug is because of some statistics that are, basically, looked at backwards. They want you to think that most people who smoke marijuana end up going on to harder drugs. The truth is the studies that they reference are questioning people who use hard drugs on whether or not they use marijuana. The reason this is backward is because if someone is willing to use a harder drug like heroin or cocaine then of course they're going to be willing to do marijuana. It's like saying that going a few miles over the speed limit is a gateway to going 20 miles over the speed limit because people who go 20 miles over the speed limit also go a few miles over the speed limit.
And let's not forget at one time minors could also buy tobacco as well, I believe it was the early 80's if memory serves. I do remember, though, going to the store in the 70's at 10 years old with a friend of mine who dipped and he would purchase Skoal. It was 50 cents a can then.
Unfortunately, I live in Texas... I say, look to Colorado! it is legal and the economy is flourishing. Near everything is better in Colorado, compared to its neighboring states, not to mention that the proceeds from marijuana sales go towards improving their schools and general education. There is truly no real reason for this to be illegal in the majority of America, so much would be better and happier with it legalized.
I disagree, car related fatal accidents in Colorado have increased by 154 percent from 2006-2014. While it is good that profits can be used to help build schools, there are many more less-harmful ways to improve the economy
@@aiden3947 almost no one smokes weed to look cool, they smoke it for social reasons like when hanging with friends to health reasons like stress or insomnia and even worse diseases like colitis, glaucoma, PTSD and other painful diseases, even football players who suffer serious mental issues smoke marijuana to keep their mental issues in check
The problem with this video is that sure, the USA maybe corrupt, I don't think so, but I don't know. Whilst this may apply to America, what about the other 100+ countries where marijuana is illegal? In fact, there are very few countries where marijuana isn't illegal. Are they all in on the same racist, corrupt, America-Centric conspiracy?

When my daughter was 8, a bike accident split her knee to the bone. She heard me talking with the doctor about the local anesthetic, and at the word cocaine she began screaming in terror that she didn't want to be an addict. Because D.A.R.E. First the doctor and I tried to assure her that this use was medically approved and safe, but she had been so brainwashed by propaganda that she was still terrified. The doc gave me a sad look and said carefully, "You misheard, honey. Your mom and I were talking about a different medication. You haven't been given cocaine." She calmed down. When she was older, I told her the truth about drugs. She never abused drugs or alcohol, because she listened to her honest hippie mom and trusted me. If I could have gotten my hands on the D.A.R.E. propagandist, I'd have had very harsh words for them! What monster decided, "Let's not tell kids that doctors can prescribe strong drugs for safe use that might be dangerous in other circumstances. Let's traumatize them and encourage them to get their parents busted for a little weed. The kids will think they're saving their parents from certain death, when the real result will be the kid ending up in foster care! It's hilarious, let's do it! Sure, when they get older some will realize we lied, and they'll think even meth and heroin are safe...but so what? It's not like we really care about anything but how much grant $ we can get!"

Maybe I'm confused, but what's the connection between anaesthesia and cocaine? There is a direct link between anaesthesia and poppy seeds (which are the root plant of many opioids). Can you clarify?
@@discoguru8363 Glad you asked. Cocaine is an excellent and safe topical anesthesia: when applied to skin or injected into tissue it causes numbness without intoxication (and with no danger of addiction). Consider the names of drugs created from similar chemicals, i.e. lidocaine and novacaine. I was VERY glad the cocaine injected in my daughter's knee relieved the pain enough that she could endure cleansing the wound and stitches. She's 34 now and never had a substance abuse problem...from what I taught her rather than D.A.R.E.! That kind of anti-drug program is worse than useless: when kids realized they've been lied to in the programs, they disbelieve warnings about things that really are dangerous. I told her the truth about everything, including foolish risks I took when young and why I wanted her to be wiser. I figure parents who lie to their kids about drugs will have kids who lie to them about drugs.

@@matts1166 Inhaling a few puffs of bud smoke once in a while is pretty innocuous. For someone to inhale as much mj smoke as a cig smoker would be pretty remarkable. I've known some pretty hardcore chronic potheads in my day and they didn't even come close to that, despite being high all day every day. Chewing tobacco also causes cancer so it's clearly not just the burning that's the issue. Cig tobacco is an extremely heavily processed product with dozens of nasty chemicals added to it for various reasons (such as anesthetics (pain killers), bronchial dilators, chemicals to make nicotine bind more readily to the receptors, etc). Besides, raw tobacco itself, before all the processing and chemicals to make it even worse, is so toxic that eating the amount in just a few cigs would kill an adult, and people who work on farms handling tobacco plants need to wear gloves to prevent getting seriously ill and possibly even dying from nicotine overdose. Yet, weed is one of the least toxic consumable products known, way less toxic in fact that most foods we consume. Also, mj has anticancer properties. So it really makes no sense to compare tobacco and mj in any sense, they could not be more different.
@@emergentform1188 I'm not saying weed is as bad as tobacco. I'm saying that the way they tabulated those numbers isn't very standardized. The alcohol stats for instance include all deaths from automobile accidents that include one driver that was under the influence, whether they were at fault for the accident or not. Don't tell me the same standard was held for marijuana. No one with a buzz was ever killed in an automobile accident?
Anyone who thinks a stoner has the ability to forcefully rape/murder someone while high is a clown 😭😭 everyone who has smoked bud knows exactly what I’m talking about

That is true. But he mentioned reasons that are almost only applied to the US. The rest of the world didn't ban it because "the US did, we must do it too".
Well for every fat dumb american joke theres 50 million starving uneducated idiots being ruled by dictators and tyrants and when youre goverement is intent on crushing you in any way possible they wont let ypu smoke a plant they eill cause you to question authority. Weed is illegal worldwide because after you smoke it you begin to ask why and like adults with, children authority hates to answer the whys.
One of the biggest reason why it's illegal in most of the world today is that US introduced into Single Convention on Narcotic Drug (1961 UN treaty) a ban for cannabis in the most parts.

Flashback to my youth and dare class. We moved a lot when I was a child, so I took dare no less than three times. My step-dad at the time thought that it would be good for me. Well, I grew up around potheads and an alcoholic. I knew for sure what they were saying about pot was not true so I had to treat everything they tried to teach us with suspicion.
There are thousands of black men incarcerated in California for illegally selling and possessing marijuana. There are lawfirms working hard to overturn their convictions now that it has been legalized. They've set hundreds free but it will take many years to free most of them.
It had a lot of similar effects with other drugs so they thought that marijuana is also destructive to our health. The number one reason however was China. Marijuana has similar effects to opium but with less intensity. Opium almost destroyed China. Google/ wikipedia chinese opium dens and how it affected the country through history.

@@georgiabaker7671 take cbd with it it takes away the paranoia and the bad effects
@@charlieschumaker2459 CBD binds to CB1 receptors and inhibits the effects of THC, if you take CBD with cannabis you might as well only take CBD
@yeet - Uhmmmm, no. That's not exactly how it works. Although they both interact with cannabinoid receptors, they do so differently.
If the THC has already entered your system and bound to your cannabinoid receptors, then taking CBD later won't actually have that leveling out effect.
You personally only have a set number of cannabinoid receptors available. Regardless of whether they pair up with the CBD or the THC, once they pair up they're no longer available for anything else for a set timeframe.
In theory, if you were to take both the CBD and THC at the same time, it should pretty much cancel out the THC. In practice, this would be impossible to achieve due to several factors.
It would take endless testing to determine the precise amounts needed to balance each other out exactly considering everyone has their own individual composition of cannabinoid receptors.
Currently, only two cannabinoid receptors have been identified, although it is believed there are at least three, or possibly even 4.
CB1 receptors are primarily found in the brain & nervous system while CB2 receptors are concentrated mostly in the immune system & organs.
Although THC (an antagonist) binds to both CB1 and CB2 receptors CBD (an indirect antagonist) also interacts despite not technically 'binding'.
It's really easy to understand this when you think of it like this - (the same principle also applies to things like antihistamines)
Think of it as kind of like trying to put a square peg into a round hole, but the pegs don't go completely through the holes. The pegs are slightly different sizes, and each of these two pegs is drawn towards (they're able to interact with) your cannabinoid receptors. To keep it simple we'll say that your receptors are all circular holes. The THC are round pegs (antagonist = the perfect match) and the CBD will be the square pegs, however, they are slightly smaller than the round pegs which means they can also sit inside of the round hole (indirect antagonist = eliciting a different response)
When the round THC peg gets to the round receptor hole it matches up perfectly and it plugs the hole - this is known as binding to the receptor.
Whereas when the square CBD peg gets to that round hole because it's a different shape it cannot fill up the hole perfectly and therefore it cannot plug the hole completely. And the receptor itself reacts differently depending upon whichever peg it has been paired with (antagonist vs indirect antagonist)
I hope this helps you to understand at least a little better how that system works.

If they decriminalize weed in a state, do people who were jailed for a minimum sentence get freed and/or have the incident struck from their record? VERY curious.
VitaminMePlease No.
Even if it was legalized on a federal level that wouldn't be the case. By any rational measurement it should be, but it isn't. The president would have to pardon and exonerate the millions of people we've arrested for nonviolent drug offenses and I don't see any leader having the balls to do so. The government would also have to admit it was wrong and was knowingly lying and deceiving the american people and it would never do that.
OMG. That's terrifying. Seriously??? So imagine alcohol becomes illegal (prohibition happens again hypothetically), then 1yr later its legal in all states again and I'd still have to sit in jail for that sentence?
VitaminMePlease Yes. Unless directly pardoned, you would have to wait out that sentence.
James Gilmore mindblown but not in the good way O_O
i love when people cite their sources. appreciated
Look into the source though, as Adam is kinda misquoting it. While it's true that almost no one has dies of marijuana overdose (there is actually a couple), he's comparing apples to oranges. The number for marijuana only covers drug overdoses, while alcohol covered anything from drunk suicide to drunk driving. Most of the rest was from long-term abuse. The tobacco stat is similar, which is funny, as many of the health problems from smoking tobacco comes from inhaling burning fumes, which also happens when you smoke weed, the most popular way to take marijuanna.
@@matts1166 yeah cause last time I check couple is alot

I’m all for the legalization of weed. … even more than that … however not down with Driving while impaired by any substance…. Not the same man. Not the same.
Honestly it's ridiculous that it's still banned. Not even hardcore conservatives are against it anymore. I'm surprised the government still is considering if it was legalized that it would be a source of tax income.
Alex Kendrick So you support the government regulating and taxing more of our lives to received millions to spend on their own self interest?
Moreso than being thrown in jail for years for doing something not only non-harmful, but also none of the governments business.

I agree it should be legal, I just really don't want the federal government or government in general to be involved
Well they wouldn't be involved anymore than they normally are, they'd just apply the sales tax they apply to everything.
Lol at "tax revenue". They already heavily tax anyone they catch with it. Go get caught with some weed and see how much you end up having to pay. Also dont be dumb enough to think they government is heavily involved in the selling of illegal drugs. Why legalize and collect "taxes" when they can keep it illegal, sell it anyway and pocket all of the revenue?

edit: i did some research and found that in 1961 an international treaty was adopted by the Single Convention of Narcotic Drugs where... "Marijuana is a Schedule I drug under this treaty, which means it’s flatly, totally forbidden. Countries can decriminalize marijuana use, but no signatory to the treaty can legalize either use or cultivation."
so pretty much america told the world what to do and because we are a big influence they did. sad.

The people in the comments "Uhhh you still have to SMOKE it? And smoking is bad?" Yes because the only way of intaking it is through smoking. Because no one has heard of pot brownies. Yes, you can bake it into brownies. Cookies. Cake. Make it into a chocolate bar. The list goes on and on. Please PLEASE try researching something before shooting your mouths off. I swear to God it's not painful!

I'm seeing lots of comments stupid enough to make me wince a little, mostly either boiling down to "but brain development tho", which Adam addressed, or "but smoke tho". That's never been an argument compelling enough to make cigarettes (or campfires for that matter) illegal, and I take it nobody's heard of pot brownies or vaping or whatever.
Google Plus Sucks Then let make cigarettes illegal, too. Let's get rid of the problem, not create another one just because it's not as bad as the one we already have
For anyone still confused, the reason why marijuana gets labeled as a gateway drug is because of some statistics that are, basically, looked at backwards.
They want you to think that most people who smoke marijuana end up going on to harder drugs. The truth is the studies that they reference are questioning people who use hard drugs on whether or not they use marijuana. The reason this is backward is because if someone is willing to use a harder drug like heroin or cocaine then of course they're going to be willing to do marijuana. It's like saying that going a few miles over the speed limit is a gateway to going 20 miles over the speed limit because people who go 20 miles over the speed limit also go a few miles over the speed limit.
"no problem if its used in moderation"? Just like alcohol, it shouldnt be illegal anymore than cigarettes and alcohol.
And like both, minors should be prevented from accessing either. And sharing it with minors highly discouraged.
Thak god someone understood what I wrote, rereading it I realize its an awkward sentence.
And let's not forget at one time minors could also buy tobacco as well, I believe it was the early 80's if memory serves. I do remember, though, going to the store in the 70's at 10 years old with a friend of mine who dipped and he would purchase Skoal. It was 50 cents a can then.
ive had a drinking problem but ive never had a pot problem. its two different beasts all together
Unfortunately, I live in Texas... I say, look to Colorado! it is legal and the economy is flourishing. Near everything is better in Colorado, compared to its neighboring states, not to mention that the proceeds from marijuana sales go towards improving their schools and general education. There is truly no real reason for this to be illegal in the majority of America, so much would be better and happier with it legalized.
I've lived in Texas and Colorado and I agree.
Colorado is way better than Texas.
I disagree, car related fatal accidents in Colorado have increased by 154 percent from 2006-2014. While it is good that profits can be used to help build schools, there are many more less-harmful ways to improve the economy

When my daughter was 8, a bike accident split her knee to the bone. She heard me talking with the doctor about the local anesthetic, and at the word cocaine she began screaming in terror that she didn't want to be an addict. Because D.A.R.E. First the doctor and I tried to assure her that this use was medically approved and safe, but she had been so brainwashed by propaganda that she was still terrified. The doc gave me a sad look and said carefully, "You misheard, honey. Your mom and I were talking about a different medication. You haven't been given cocaine." She calmed down. When she was older, I told her the truth about drugs. She never abused drugs or alcohol, because she listened to her honest hippie mom and trusted me. If I could have gotten my hands on the D.A.R.E. propagandist, I'd have had very harsh words for them! What monster decided, "Let's not tell kids that doctors can prescribe strong drugs for safe use that might be dangerous in other circumstances. Let's traumatize them and encourage them to get their parents busted for a little weed. The kids will think they're saving their parents from certain death, when the real result will be the kid ending up in foster care! It's hilarious, let's do it! Sure, when they get older some will realize we lied, and they'll think even meth and heroin are safe...but so what? It's not like we really care about anything but how much grant $ we can get!"

Maybe I'm confused, but what's the connection between anaesthesia and cocaine? There is a direct link between anaesthesia and poppy seeds (which are the root plant of many opioids). Can you clarify?
@@discoguru8363 Glad you asked. Cocaine is an excellent and safe topical anesthesia: when applied to skin or injected into tissue it causes numbness without intoxication (and with no danger of addiction). Consider the names of drugs created from similar chemicals, i.e. lidocaine and novacaine. I was VERY glad the cocaine injected in my daughter's knee relieved the pain enough that she could endure cleansing the wound and stitches. She's 34 now and never had a substance abuse problem...from what I taught her rather than D.A.R.E.! That kind of anti-drug program is worse than useless: when kids realized they've been lied to in the programs, they disbelieve warnings about things that really are dangerous. I told her the truth about everything, including foolish risks I took when young and why I wanted her to be wiser. I figure parents who lie to their kids about drugs will have kids who lie to them about drugs.

@@matts1166 Inhaling a few puffs of bud smoke once in a while is pretty innocuous. For someone to inhale as much mj smoke as a cig smoker would be pretty remarkable. I've known some pretty hardcore chronic potheads in my day and they didn't even come close to that, despite being high all day every day. Chewing tobacco also causes cancer so it's clearly not just the burning that's the issue. Cig tobacco is an extremely heavily processed product with dozens of nasty chemicals added to it for various reasons (such as anesthetics (pain killers), bronchial dilators, chemicals to make nicotine bind more readily to the receptors, etc). Besides, raw tobacco itself, before all the processing and chemicals to make it even worse, is so toxic that eating the amount in just a few cigs would kill an adult, and people who work on farms handling tobacco plants need to wear gloves to prevent getting seriously ill and possibly even dying from nicotine overdose. Yet, weed is one of the least toxic consumable products known, way less toxic in fact that most foods we consume. Also, mj has anticancer properties. So it really makes no sense to compare tobacco and mj in any sense, they could not be more different.
@@emergentform1188 I'm not saying weed is as bad as tobacco. I'm saying that the way they tabulated those numbers isn't very standardized. The alcohol stats for instance include all deaths from automobile accidents that include one driver that was under the influence, whether they were at fault for the accident or not. Don't tell me the same standard was held for marijuana. No one with a buzz was ever killed in an automobile accident?

is it bad that i'm using this to write a proposal and this is basically giving me access to half of the sources i'm using?
Flashback to my youth and dare class. We moved a lot when I was a child, so I took dare no less than three times. My step-dad at the time thought that it would be good for me. Well, I grew up around potheads and an alcoholic. I knew for sure what they were saying about pot was not true so I had to treat everything they tried to teach us with suspicion.
hearing adam saying i have no idea makes me feel good
4:00 that quote! 😱
I love how the very end says "Yeah weed aint dangerous? Fine but we are and we will ruin your life if we catch you".
I'm so glad I live in California.
There are thousands of black men incarcerated in California for illegally selling and possessing marijuana. There are lawfirms working hard to overturn their convictions now that it has been legalized. They've set hundreds free but it will take many years to free most of them.
please make an Adam Ruins Everything D.A.R.E. episode
D.A.R.E. took up a lot of my valuable education time growing up.
It would have just been otherwise wasted beating any thing resembling individuality or critical thinking out of you. The school system is garbage.
I wouldn’t mind a class with Adam~
Plenty of parties left. Light up Adam. Haha
Please explain why cannabis is illegal in the UK, and Japan, and several other first world countries?
They did it to please America.
SpitefulAZ stigma
Good question...
It had a lot of similar effects with other drugs so they thought that marijuana is also destructive to our health. The number one reason however was China. Marijuana has similar effects to opium but with less intensity. Opium almost destroyed China. Google/ wikipedia chinese opium dens and how it affected the country through history. UK heavily emphasized on the drug addiction to strike better bargains in trade
As for China, googling opium wars China might be more usefull I think
just love adam ruins everything
Well you have to find some way of filling those private prison contracts...
