Growing Cannabis
When a marijuana user develops tolerance to THC, he craves a stronger sedative to produce the same effect. It is for this reason that abuse of heroin, fentanyl and prescription opioids has greatly increased along with marijuana legalization. Also, marijuana is often laced with heroin or fentanyl. We must love ourselves enough not to cause ourselves harm and confusion.
young healthy,why smoke weed,sit on dole,retirment, home sweep oldies income,it should be the other way around,it disgusting, how oldies live,all pension taken 90nzd a fortnight, it disgusting,come on new zealand,
Delegates of the Democratic National Committee voted DOWN a proposal to include the federal legalization of cannabis in the party’s 2020 platform
Is this Fox News….
Weed is better than alcohol. Like if you agree
Only pro's
people up what is legal and what is not and why……. Alcohol FireArms and Tobacco?
doctors and people and works for a nation and what don't…….hey bs commercialism
This dude is such a square. There’s no difference between drugs and alcohol. I take it back weed is way safer. If you really care about the people let’s talk about opioids…
That guy is the dude at the end of class who asks the teacher about the hw she forgot to check
They want to monopolise before they legalize. But all these companies will go bankrupt in the future when everyone grows their own. So don't invest too much. Unless a company actually makes a medecine. Investing in grows is a bust. Most commercial growers grow trash. Marinol is a prescription drug with THC extracted from the cannabis plant.
Unuh still a talk bout dis

Umm has he not seen the people standing in the lines at these dispensaries, lol?! I don't think he has, smh.
I'm a big proponent of legalizing weed, but I gotta say, this man speaks quite rationally. Tobacco used to be advertised as healthy too. I'm not saying that weed is unhealthy, but yeah – we should be careful and maybe some more regulations are needed.
weed need to be legalised in sweden
Let's be honest here… non of that tax money is going to be used to benefit minorities. It will only benefit white people. Also, just because something is less harmful doesn't mean it has to be legalized. Do I believe alcohol and tobacco should be legal? No. Would I still use alcohol or tobacco? Yes. Weed has not been legalized because its a natural crop that ANYONE can produce anywhere unlike alcohol and tobacco so legalizing it will not benefit the white government. Only reason I would agree on legalizing it is to reduce the black arrest rates over white arrest rates related to weed.
Lol big tobacco and big pharma are fighting legalization because they view it as a competitor
Tobacco shops are disgusting putting a church on every corner is disgusting.and the liquor stores.so you got cancer,brainwashing,and swoll liver and kidneys failer promoting death and getting away with it through ink and paper.wow just wow. silent murder eh?
All drugs should be legal prohibition doesn’t work.
Get shat on luke
It’s weird how the guy acknowledges the fact weed has been around for ages and doesn’t seem to have caused any harm in that time (since the 70s he says) but yet 6 years is not enough time? I think the last 50 years have given enough data just legalise it for gods sake
Marijuana is a pseudo high, there is no high like the most high.
6 years or 6000? We've been doing this for a while, what's new and untested is global governments that ignore the will of the people.
I feel like if people want to smoke it let them, if they don’t they won’t but it’s not fair how privileged people get to do what they want and people in other states have to suffer how is that fair?
My man is acting like hash just got invented. Concentrates have been around for over eleven hundred years. Just because your grandparents were smoking Reggie in the 70s doesn’t mean good weed wasn’t available.
It should be up to the voters in every state
In Norway ITS standard test. Along with alcohol… just swop Your mouth, does IT on the spot.
Marijana? Its called cannabis. The word Marijana was coined early on in the states as a form of propaganda to stereotype it negatively by making it sound foreign. Mexican specifically. Any yuppy spouting this word is just proliferating lies. If your argument is don't legalize because big corps will make a profit then i guess you're anti capitalism and that's a whole different discussion lol Pathetic.
But yet big tobbacco and alcohol can have corner stores in the hood
Melissa inspired me to do more research on this topic.
My main issue with people who are marijuana-enthusiasts is that they don't admit that weed could even be potentially harmful.
And here's the thing, I'm FOR legalization, but weed advocates don't help by 1. often being stoners themselves most of the time, thereby giving themselves a bad reputation and 2. being completely optimistic about marijuana use instead of having a more open-minded, moderate view like I'm trying to have.
I've used CBD often, but I know that too much of it can give you bad anxiety (like it did for me) and heck, one day I was even high off of it at work. It was a horrible high, too. But yeah, I'm a believer that if it's abused, it could certainly have bad effects on your brain.
We should use weed for health reasons, not to be getting stoned.
That guy is a literal joke you can tell he is butt hurt because it’s legal in his state..what’s funny is alcohol is 10xs worse than marijuana yet alcohol is consumed by tons of kids under the age..this guy is spewing bogus facts to make marijuana seem worse than what it really is. This guy just needs to stop talking, quit his job, and go work at a McDonald’s because he is wasting our time
I live in Colorado each county can choose weather or not they want to allow recreational marijuana.
All that I have been to are locally owned so I don’t know what this guy is talking about big Pharma. They are small business is just like any other business that is not a corporation. It’s not their fault they’re selling something that everybody wants. Guys it’s not just minorities everybody goes to the shops OK doesn’t matter where they’re located if you want weed and you have to drive you’re going to drive and you’re going to get it.
I don’t know what world this guy is living in but he’s wrong.
Stop putting this poison into your body. You are turning our country into a bunch of drug addicts.
Whatever. Pharmacological Determinism. People have been conditioned to believe that cannabis will do this or that. It’s an outdated form of thinking.
If cannabis is a major source of revenue for Mexican cartels doesn’t it make sense to legalize it so a black market won’t exist on the scale it does?
Yeah, we have moonshine, which can be dangerous, but instead we have the liquor store which is stocked with product we can trust and consume in confidence
Yes we need to be careful and pay attention to the new research that comes out but the fact of the matter is adults should be able to choose what they put into their body! Especially when it's less harmful than other legal substances

#THEYDIDNT KNOW HOW MUCH THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT HAS TO BE ON TV IN OUR DURING A CRISIS AND ESPECIALLY OBAMA WAS ON TV ALMOST 1MILLION TIMES ESPECIALLY DURING THE ECONOMIC CRISIS
that woman feels so much like a crackhead
He only looks at essays and facts he doesn't understand how the people really think.
This guy is a tool for big pharma
Legalize arizona please
This guy and his typical reefer madness arguments. Uninformed, backward, stupid. Probably never even tried it but considers himself an expert.
Pros: more tax money for states meaning more money to be passed to help states, less crime, less rage, 21 or older making it difficult for underage children to reach it
Cons: NA
I don't understand how there's cons.
N.a.
Driving while high on marijuana is not a known cause of car accidents, driving while extremely high might be a cause of some overly slow drivers but so is getting old. The he problem with legalization least in New York is they require you to get a medical license. That is the opposite of legalization as a matter of fact if you get a medical marijuana license in New York right now you will no longer be able to own a firearm. These people are so stupid they've created more seriouse crimes in their legaization efforts it seems to be a way to further regulate know what you're doing and expand on the police state in a really sick way by not telling people these details
