3 ARGUMENTS WHY MARIJUANA SHOULD BE LEGAL #1 NO ONE HAS EVER DIED FROM MARIJUANA USE ALONE. You CANT OD #2 Medical usage is UNIQUE: Being allowed to GROW is essential BECAUSE some conditions come down to a single strain; or phenotype. In addition, some strains work for some people, but not necessarily some others; so it's important strains match individual differences. #3 Gossip and agendas may say weed is a "gateway drug" but SCIENCE and DATA shows Marijuana is a EXIT DRUG; especially when the strains meet medical needs. Cannabis has been successfully used to help withdrawal symptoms for some patients. THE BEST WAY TO UNDERSTAND MARIJUANA IS TO TRY IT. You may, or may not love it…but you'll know THE TRUTH.
For myself cannabis is a wonder drug. Have chronic pain and neuropathy from very large MRSA infection, gun shot right forearm, stress and anexity induced focal to grand mal seizures. Opiates worked but your mind becomes numb, mixed w Keppra, gabapentin and benzoyl. Definitely sucked or cannabis 75% thc and 25% cbd
Well Drugs do have a bright side. Drugs including alcohal are used in medicines. The thing is those people who are saying to legalise this are I guess saying to use it in the bright way as in medicines ( as syrups and tablets), to cure diseases or infections. In this case i also say it to be legal.
Good video, but you didn't mention an argument I hear frequently: "Marijuana is a moral weakness. It is a sign that we would rather sacrifice brain function and 'normal' coping methods to lean on a drug that causes low intelligence and moral dalliance." I know, I know that this argument has serious flaws (so alcohol, cigarettes', or even a self-care method like mindlessly lifting weights daily isn't/can't be a 'crutch'?, etc. Is there any research that actually says that m.j. leads to lowered intelligence or willpower?) but I have heard it many times. It's frustrating.
I'm a stoner & I wanna say I put my pride aside jus to click on the video. Mainly cuz I knew that sum weed history would b in here . But clearly it should b legalized or make cigarettes illegal (& we kno that ain't happening) it's not a gateway drug by the way. That depends on the personality
Here's the thing, I kinda doubt a British person has any clue of how it's like in the US. Kinda getting sick of vids of people doing videos like this, blow only the bad up, but you know I smoked marijuana, and I never moved on. Weed helps with PTSD from war… Again not something this Brit would understand since they stay outa wars unless it's world wide. For instance where were the Brits in Afghanistan…?? Allies my ass, more like allies when the uk and Europe needs helps. Oh world war ok yea we will help you out…. Covid oh yea we are working on a cure even though your not. Oh wow see how unbalanced this shit is what exactly do we get from you? Is it worth the millions of lives we spared to save your country? I doubt it
Some people commenting on here and they’ve never smoked weed so it’s 100% foreign to them in every single aspect, if it’s non lethal and your argument is that smoking weed can kill you then maybe you should smoke weed to end the cycle of bullshit anti-weed propaganda
Они сами покупают сигареты, сами достают сигарету из пачки, прикуривают и вдыхают табачный дым.
Внутренний голос призывает курильщика остановиться, но его заглушает другой голос, убеждающий курильщика, что курение даёт ему нечто вроде удовольствия или поддержки.
if you wanna call herb a drug then so is the apple or banana you had on ya break at work…. so why you doing drugs at work hey….. exactly stupid right?…. fruit isn’t a drug also that salad you had isn't a drug either… then why is weed a drug….. oh wait its not……. its a plant aka vegetable/vegetation grown by mother nature….. and instead of eating it we smoke it…. one form of consumption over the other doesn't magically make it a drug…..
It should stay illegal because of tampering with the genetics smh, all of sudden it’s legal and people were criminalized for it people are a bunch of sheeple. I’m tired of seeing crowded dispensary lots and people acting like it’s just nothing better to do. I always told people I didn’t smoke, when I did I smoked alone and didn’t want it to be known that I did cause I hate being around people who act like some super stoner who get high and talk about nothing but bs LOL. Clothes with weed insignia on them etc it’s annoying just be normal your not Cheech or Chong.
I absolutely adore how no topic is off limits or unfairly treated here. In an age were misinformation and fearmongering seem to grow on a daily basis this channel and all the people behind it represent a safe heaven for intelligence, reasoning and progress.

Bruh weed can't make you do drugs it's actually people that are good at persuasion
That stuff is the devil
Me sorprende el video papi youtube no lo alla quitado aunque me gusta decirla la mariajuana pa no decir eso

We hate drugs! We hate drugs!
It's pretty amazing how the video is about arguments against legalization but ends up refuting all of them.

Is the wild marihuana still alive or has it gone extinct
Legalise it.
"Just like most people don't drink an after work bottle of vodka…"
Is that a challenge!?

7:11 of course the studies were inconclusive. Otherwise alcohol consuption would drop
Никто не заставляет курильщиков курить.
Они сами покупают сигареты, сами достают сигарету из пачки, прикуривают и вдыхают табачный дым.
Внутренний голос призывает курильщика остановиться, но его заглушает другой голос, убеждающий курильщика, что курение даёт ему нечто вроде удовольствия или поддержки.
Этот второй голос – результат промывания мозгов.

No drugs should be illegal even the most dangerous ones.
It should stay illegal because of tampering with the genetics smh, all of sudden it’s legal and people were criminalized for it people are a bunch of sheeple. I’m tired of seeing crowded dispensary lots and people acting like it’s just nothing better to do.

I think the real reason is that weed makes people too chill/demotivated to function in this capitalist society …
you say they should increase CBD but then ofc the ppl who want to get high will still have to buy illegally.

2:52 the licc
I'm for full legalization, but I'm concerned about the environmental impact of Marijuana. It's very resource intensive.
Pharmaceuticals are the real drugs that should be waged war on, and their pushers
lmao fuck that!!! toke till i die 😉 AND WE SMOKING 40 PERCENT LMAOO
to make more money though.
making it legal will keep kids away from real drug dealers .with age people use far less.
