This needs to be spread far and wide! Thank you for all you do. I’ve been in the cannabis industry since April, left my former career of 24 years, and I love educating people about the power of hemp!
May I ask for what kind of cannabis company you’re working for? I think this video finally showed me a way to escape the corporate world and do something that really matters.
It's great to see people like you spreading awareness about the benefits of hemp and cannabis. Education is key to breaking down misconceptions and promoting the positive impact these plants can have.❤
I love this speech! Its a must watch. It changed the way I think around Cannabis in all aspects. I take CBD and use it for my face, skin and all over my body and it does wonders.
I'm not sure why this Ted talk would be flagged... Everything he is saying is based on peer reviewed studies. This is a great talk Derek, it's a real shame that societies aren't jumping on this bandwagon. Hemp based products are the way of the future!
Reminded of their stigma and not their benefits! man who true is this, how many people turn away from CBD because of things said against it decades ago. This man is smart and well researched.
Why of why does this have a disclaimer? For god sakes TED, he's talking about the benefits of of a legitimate plant based medication! he isnt telling everyone to roll a joint and get stoned!
You think of the damage opioids have done and they flew through to market, why? because big pharma owns the government. A guy lights a spliff which does no damage and he does serious time in many states still.
OMG why did the medicinal benefits of cannabis just disappear? Let's be honest, technology influenced changes, created fear around it, made it illegal and then its benefits were just forgotten. Guess what, all that is old is new again. Thanks Derek for a very enlightening health and well being talk around Hemp!
well summed up talk addressing economic, environmental, and health related benefits of cannabis as a plant that can heal the world if only we get over stigmas
@@robertaherron good stuff, it was only in this year after many years when i was atlast able to share with my family, about the med benefits of cannabis, which wasn't easy and sometimes tough, but well worth it so that it is something we can now openly discuss - it is a way forward, for its sad if we cant share with our loved ones, this plant that can heal.
I had a nagging shoulder injury and back pain from years of weightlifting; edibles started to repair and maintain to the point where I feel 10 years younger
Cannabis is a medical necessity for all those of us who have been consuming metabolically poisonous Vegetable oils in our diets and getting one or more of many more modern diseases. The solution is to go vegan and take cannabis supplementation until you are better while getting all vegetable oils out of your diet. You can use some polysaturated animal food-based oil, that in all animal products if you are not quite so worried about living as long as reasonably possible while remaining perfectly healthy.
Was that shift when the cotton industry vilified cannabis? I can't believe they've forced that silly disclaimer on this video. He's only speaking the truth! We've known for so long all the positive things about Cannabis, it's about time we embraced it!
Thank you for helping to stop the negative stigma. Cannabis has saved my life! Cannabis has never killed anyone, yet Peanuts kill thousands every year, is the government going to ban peanuts 🥜 😂 🤦🏻♀️ Its really sad, the negative stigma people have on cannabis.
He has said so many things about the plant, but forgot that the prohibition in the USA is very related to its usage by people coming from Mexico and """"taking away"""" the jobs from people in America. The history of prohibition can't be well understood if We do not consider the role racism played on it.
actually after alcohol prohibition the enforcement agency responsible fro enforcing that had no job ... cannabis plant was targeted and renamed to marijuana as an tactical assault word and the rest is histpry
@@mcozy333 , the fact that the drug was used by Mexicans was used in the country to promote the idea that it was dangerous and should be banned. It happened after the alcohol prohibition as you said, but it can't be completely understood without taking this fact into consideration - racism/xenophobia.
Is there anything morally wrong with getting high ( ie relaxation)? Why should govt has to come in between a person's choice of medicine or relaxant for himself? Why this basic freedom is suppressed in society? Why are we so afraid of getting high? I think humans have lost the capacity to relax and enjoy. Cannabis is not an intoxicant. It's a relaxant.
The issue is it is a drug, and yes so is alcohol but I see no purpose in either. Yes both contain ingredients that can be used for good, but there is more to this than just entire legalization.
No. The issue is that government knowingly lied to create an excuse to use force against peaceful non-aggressors. That will never be acceptable, and it needs to end immediately. Anyone who wants people attacked or punished for sitting peacefully with a plant, is a terrorist, and needs to spend the rest of their lives in jail.
Share it far and wide!
Amazing speech, everyone needs to hear this
I agree with you 100% wont happen while that orange blob is president though.
@@rongigz you need to educate yourself ie. throw away your TV and research the TRUTH
@@rongigz orange blob 🤣 lmao
Just simply outstanding. It's time for the masses to wake up and take back control of their own health 🌿🌏🙏🏼

And, we sell Veritas Farms products in our store!
Thank you, Kristy! There's nothing quite like opening someone's eyes to all that hemp has to offer!

Hans Joachim Hello! It is a local CBD store, however I no longer work there.

oh yeah good reminder of a classic.
wow so true.
and herb getting more legal is serious big coin to earn
Yep, true true true

Canada is so much further ahead than we are in this, in medicare, in humanity, in everything.
I love this speech! Its a must watch. It changed the way I think around Cannabis in all aspects. I take CBD and use it for my face, skin and all over my body and it does wonders.
What an engaging talk and a very good man. It is about time we embraced the benefits of natural medicine.
I'm not sure why this Ted talk would be flagged... Everything he is saying is based on peer reviewed studies. This is a great talk Derek, it's a real shame that societies aren't jumping on this bandwagon. Hemp based products are the way of the future!
Very honest for admitting he was charged. Well worth watching!
Reminded of their stigma and not their benefits! man who true is this, how many people turn away from CBD because of things said against it decades ago. This man is smart and well researched.
Thanks, Tommy. Glad you enjoyed the topic, let's spread the truth!
@@derekthomas625 hey all cool, just saw this and man backing watching it again.
Why of why does this have a disclaimer? For god sakes TED, he's talking about the benefits of of a legitimate plant based medication! he isnt telling everyone to roll a joint and get stoned!
They do it on so many really good talks. Ridiculous.
I know silly right.
Derek: We need to stop the stigma, we have so many positive uses for this plant!
Ted™: We've flagged this talk.
man how true, TED is getting so tame...
Great Talk.
Only 1k views... cmon society. Can you guy re advertise this speech
i feel like people have found this since covid! look at all the views now! thank goodness... cannabis products could save our planet.
@@suminkim346 truthfully.
LOL love TED saying don't look for medical advice from this, but all the research shows it does help in many ways...
You think of the damage opioids have done and they flew through to market, why? because big pharma owns the government. A guy lights a spliff which does no damage and he does serious time in many states still.
Serious time for smoking a joint? Which state is this

Amen! Amen!! Amen!!! Hallelujah!!!!
one of the best comments I read❤
I got some hemp products, a shirt and pants, but I love CBD Oil.
Oh Boy!
well summed up talk addressing economic, environmental, and health related benefits of cannabis as a plant that can heal the world if only we get over stigmas
yep. sharing this with some family who still dont get it

I use CBD oil, it is the only thing that works on my leg pain!
and me!!!
I had a nagging shoulder injury and back pain from years of weightlifting; edibles started to repair and maintain to the point where I feel 10 years younger
Loved the old reefer madness stuff in here, but thats where the funny stuff ends. Why isn't it legalized EVERYWHERE?
People say we have freedom in America, but case in point right here, a plant that can help so many is demonized because of religious dogma.
This is a must see for any and all politicians who opposes legalization of
Marijuana/ Hemp. They are the same plant.
I’m in full support of cannabis, but be aware of CHS.
Strange, I talk to a few people I know who refuse to wear masks or social distance. Yet they think using pot is a crime....
Very inspiring!
I wear Hemp clothing!
That little girl he was talking about Charlotte passed away likely from COVID-19 this year , 2020
Sometimes I think this is all taking too long, I mean people are in jail for smoking pot in this country, how can that be right at all!

Anybody else thought the title read: Rethinking Humanity's relationship with cannibals?
This talk is flagged? Why? because it makes sense?
seriously why???
WHY???

Had enough? If you want to see nationwide legalization of cannabis in the USA, vote straight Libertarian, always
Well I think Bernie was talking about this before the Libertarians...
@@jycintabrown hemp is definitely a uniting issue
i get so annoyed with ted talk and their disclaimers! derek thomas clearly knows what he's talking about!

Daves not here!
Has there been any study on CBD and this virus?
phytocannabinoids are proving to reduce cytokine storms via the anti oxidant metabolism of them
@@mcozy333 wow cool

Why should govt has to come in between a person's choice of medicine or relaxant for himself? Why this basic freedom is suppressed in society?
Why are we so afraid of getting high? I think humans have lost the capacity to relax and enjoy.
Cannabis is not an intoxicant. It's a relaxant.
esto me trajo de un anuncio ayuda!!!!!
It's the main ingredient of the holy anointing oil in the Bible
Charlotte's Web is an amazing strain.
The issue is it is a drug, and yes so is alcohol but I see no purpose in either. Yes both contain ingredients that can be used for good, but there is more to this than just entire legalization.
sounds like you need to do some more research friend.
No. The issue is that government knowingly lied to create an excuse to use force against peaceful non-aggressors. That will never be acceptable, and it needs to end immediately.
