  1. I never changed my mind ,…. I have always known cannabis is a $UPER medicine !!!!!! You foolzzz have only just discovered that …… the herb is more then just a POWERFUL potion !!!!! ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

  2. Isn't it amazing what it takes to change some people's minds?
    The problem is that it's such a useful plant that it's a threat to corporate capitalism as it currently exists.

  3. Stop calling it marijuana. That's a fear based trigger word and is not accurate. Please use the word cannabis. The evidence and proof has been there for many years but the government has restricted official research with wrongful classification as a schedule 1 narcotic which it is NOT, TO SUPPRESS THE TRUTH that would be blatantly obvious if mainstream research was allowed because big pharma doesnt want competition. A plant cant be patented and if you cure people, they dont keep coming back for expensive patented drugs. This is about power and money and the healing truth is being suppressed. Harvard studies, studies by many institutions all over the world and TONS of anecdotal evidence prove cannabis is ACTUALLY safe and effective for a variety of conditions including cancer. We have our own endocannabinoid system. Our body makes cannabinoids. Sometimes not enough. But we are literally designed to work with these natural chemicals and even make our own form of them. I guess every human should be thrown in prison for being "drug users"?!
    This plant has been used for centuries. If it had such detrimental effects as claimed, it would be well known by experience. Dont believe the fear campaigns. Seek the truth, trust and love nature. Big pharma are convicted criminals paying record fines in the billions for their fraud including manipulating data, lying, bribing doctors and that's just a scratch on the surface. They own the FDA, CDC, media and legislature as well as the whole medica system including medical schools and how doctors are taught. They vet their own "research" and safety claims and the same who run the FDA always end up working for big pharma with big paychecks as a reward for protecting pharma. Cannabis is a plant. You cant possibly overdose on it, it's never killed anyone. Medical system is one of the top leading causes of death.. look up Tylenol deaths alone! Stuff you can buy at the store is far more toxic !!! They promote what's bad for you and suppress what's good for you. Also check out the docu "Cut, Poison, Burn" for some eye opening info.

  4. Earlier he made a statement stating that it was used for medication in other foreign countries. This is also what is wrong with prohibition. The studies are only basic studies of medicine from there common and local lands. There isn't enough proof of what it can do for them when all you know is local aspects. Native Americans even used it for spiritual rituals and gatherings. We don't know if the plant has been embedded in our genes or as part of our genes. Do we know what are the missing links in our genes after thru all the years of war and injustice? Through the chemical changes that mankind has had to go through? The earth is only somewhat 200 million years old, and the only thing we have to go by is Science and the teachings of elders, without scientific modifications and theories.

  5. 9:16 How much testing you think goes into pharmaceutical drugs before they are released to the market? Granted the covid vaccine was cooked up in an emergency. It was made in less than a year… Obviously a good portion of that went to crafting the vaccine in the first place, so we are left with maybe a few months worth of testing before covid vaccine was released to the public… It is 100% not the idea that we don't have enough evidence. If anything, it's quite the contrary. We have plenty of evidence that supports the medicinal value of marijuana (and lsd, but plenty of people already called this speaker out on that as well).

    Think of it this way. Cars used to be built and sold provided with a full manual on how to work on the vehicle. The vehicle was crafted in a way where all the major parts were accessible to the consumer. Now they are purposely building cars that are nearly impossible to work on without a specific set of tools. Placing things in difficult to reach places trying to discourage people from doing it themselves, and rather bringing it in to get worked on. Marijuana vs big pharma is very similar. Just about anyone with either a yard+temperate climate, or electricity and proper full spectrum lighting can easily grow marijuana at their own home without ever having to go out and "pay the piper." And as far as creating a tincture or oil, that just requires food grade ethanol and a little know-how. I would bet that the vast majority of people don't have the ability to synthesize pharmaceutical pills/capsules in their own homes. That's why even with prohibition they had to also brain wash people into thinking weed was super harmful. They wanted us to believe their cures were the answer, taking all control out of the consumers hands.

    It makes sense why intelligence is often linked to depression. It's hard to clearly see and understand all this madness and not be affected by any of it.

  6. You said LSD n meth don't have medicinal value… They infact both do and methamphetamine isd prescribed as desoxyn for ADHD and LSD is used in mental therapy.. So…
