- Ben has been sober since 1996 and has been part of the recovery movement in almost every way imaginable; from a recipient to a provider to a spokesperson. He joined the field professionally in 2007 working inside of nonprofits, treatment programs and consulting to athletics and organized labor. Highlighted in his book, Weed, Inc.: The Truth About the Pot Lobby, THC, and the Commercial Marijuana Industry, and his TED talk “Surprising Truths about Legalizing Cannabis” Ben has remained active in the discussion around marijuana, assisting several states efforts to hold back Big Marijuana and always advocating for recovery. His reputation as being pro-logic and recovery oriented rather than anti anything, and his widely adopted curriculum on ethical treatment and practices has garnered national recognition. He is utilized by the likes of NFL, and NCAA programs to determine appropriate treatment for their athletes, coaches and their families as well as develop recovery oriented policies.
Today on the show we discuss: Why Ben has been advocating against legalization of marijuana, why parents should be taking cannabis seriously, why more people are going to rehab for cannabis addiction, steps parents can take if their kid is struggling with cannabis addiction, what Ben would do if he was in charge of changing things, why cannabis is destroying peoples lives and more.

Quitting cannabis was one of the best things I've done. I have several friends who are excessively addicted and I can see the negative effects, but I can't convince them of it. They say things like "my epilepsy meds aren't enough," or "I'd probably kill someone if I didn't smoke weed." I think education is the key, delegalization would just make things worse.
Sounds like you need new friends
I smoked weed from 18 too 45 ran a business and built 2 new homes for my family, but I saw the change in potency and was getting anxiety from it and quit cold turkey no bad affects, but I've seen it stunning mental growth in many young kids and just makes them lazy and irresponsible for life.
I think that "denial" was my biggest obstacle to my healing journey. I stopped using alcohol over 20 years ago. I figured that my weed habit wasn't as "self destructive" as my alcohol problem. The intervening years have seen me habitually "wake & bake". I chose the "one hitter" approach, by periodically smoking a single hit, throughout the day.
Living in Africa for the last 14 years, I've stuck to low THC strains, (as the average local user would not be able to afford the high potency strains). Needless to say, I come back to the word "denial". It's taken me 40 plus years to accept that my addictions have been the unhealthy outcome of suppressing previous trauma and how to deal with it. Just a couple of weeks in, but I'm already feeling so much more positive. Thanks for your dialog. It really confirms that I'm not the only one!
hey brother, sounds to me like youre awakening, i have a weed addiction and reading this is a clear sign to me. im high right now while writing this but i wanna know what helped you make the first step, i wanna be clean
@@ThaSentient1 (Sorry for the delay in responding, it's only just popped into my feed). For me it was a creeping cough that I couldn't seem to shake, the intense headaches that I would periodically experience and the realization that increasingly, I would be in mid sentence and have to pause to collect my thoughts in order to complete what I was trying to say. I guess my body was giving me enough warnings that there's more to life than a momentary high.
It's also the sense of apathy that would characterize my decisions. I was cutting myself off from real people relying on my old friend "Mary Jane". I want to do stuff and it was hindering me.
@@wambugumassive I love this. Thank you. Day 1 sober for me today.
@@hipmoma Good for you... It's now been nearly 3 months since my last "encounter". I've had a couple of "moments" when I thought "wouldn't it be nice" but I have persevered.
The dreams were quite intense initially. (I had not realised how much weed suppresses your REM sleep).
@@wambugumassive great job!! you can be proud of yourself. It is the hardest thing to quit! I'm on day 2. Did not sleep a wink though last night
I´ve been sober since 2015. Few months ago, I started growing peppers in my balcony...and after watching videos about hidoponic systems, I suddenly felt itching to grow weed again. Here in Brazil, we are in the early stages of legalization...All one needs is a medical prescription and a habeas corpus from a court to be allowed to grow. A few lawyers and medical doctors are making a ton of money and are youtube famous. One habeas corpus petition costs like 3k USD and a medical appointment with a cannabis-friendly doctor is 250USD ( just the medical appointment is more the monthly minimum wage) . 2 years ago, you´d be sentenced as a drug dealer if they caught you growing 1 plant at home. Im already antisocial ,apathetic enough and struggling with anxiety .I cant be doing this again :(
Temptation comes in many forms.
It's not even the same as in 70s or 80s, it's a whole different drug now days
No, it's the same.
@@leeadickes7235 no it's not, it dosent even look or smell the same. I started smoking in 1972 till just recently, that's a lot of years, how about you????

I'm a month and a half sober after experiencing 2 psychotic episodes.
One of which was in public and my rock bottom.
Was smoking since I was 14 and stopped at 23 it's not the same as it use too ...
Happy that I just stopped after years of smoking…
Finding a better life is a combination of quitting weed and a healthy job market and economy. Having a sense of purpose is the biggest deterrent to want to lessen the possibilities that are available for you in your life.
10th day for me. Luckily I am blessed with a loving supportive family. I was a heavy user for 20 years, I quit because I finally grew up. finally realized I was living a life that wasn't real. Quit to see how improvements in my physically training and sports will be. the first several days were brutal, insomnia, migraines , nausea and really pissed off. These days I'm feeling much better, thinking clearly and my workouts are actually much improved. The DREAMS are unreal. getting better sleep and my energy is through the roof. Mentally its a long road, but i feel unstoppable and much more confident in who I am. My family notices the difference and that's the important thing to me!! Stay the course, you can do it. Videos like these help me out so much! Aloha from Hawaii!!!!
You still good g?

So good that this information is coming out now. Thank you.
I just got out of the mental hospital because my dispensary selling 31% Khalifa Kush advertisement like candy and something that will fix me 30 minutes into it was the biggest mistake of my life now I'm getting panic attacks left and right
It opened your mind to a greater reality, now you shtting yourself because you realize how fragile you existence is. 😅
@@stronggrom68 wtf???
@@stronggrom68 deluded weed smoker
@carlbland68 The fact of the matter is that people who have these major mental issues have already had them . Weed just brings it to the surface.
That is good for society because once they are exposed, they are less likely to be chosen as a mate ,
If you reproduce with someone with a genetic defect, don't blame the weed when your children and grandchildren have the issue.
This is what the peer reviewed science says on the issue.
For more than 10 000 years it's been used as a cultural tool , you wouldn't want davidngron in the shield wall with you because he will btch out from a bit of strong weed never mind some serious sht .
David blames his dispensary for selling him 31% Khalifa kush , like a drunk driver blames the bottle store for selling 43% avb whiskey after crashing his car ?
But I'm the delusional one , OK 👍
@@carlbland68think it’s just called existential crisis. People do seem to forget it’s a psychedelic. The idea of what things are compared to what it really is is a problem, like cocaine people thinks it would be awesome or make you feel great when in reality it belongs in a cleaning chemical shopping isle next to the bleach or something that would start your engine on a cold day bc it’s a harsh crappy chemical. Weed is thought to be relaxing but it’s only relaxing after your heart stops pounding for a straight hour and your adrenaline and brain is on overdrive. Only the come down is relaxing. But your having panic attacks bc your dopamine deficient wait about 4weeks eat healthy and exercise once a day and they will stop.
These comments are wild. Some people are very attached to their chemical safety blankets.
I worked in a high school for a couple of years. There were so many kids carrying THC pens and hitting them in the bathroom. They would come to class either catatonic or bouncing off the walls. Mostly catatonic. No, they won't die, but they are doing irreversible damage. If it was still illegal they wouldn't have those pens so readily available.
In my own experience, I've had a back and forth relationship with weed for years. I'm grateful that the stuff I smoked when I was young had seeds and stems and low THC. When I moved to a state with medical, the game changed completely. Easy, unlimited access to 20% and higher THC flower was extremely negative in my life. And the withdrawals when I quit were a nightmare. For a couple of weeks I had nausea, insomnia, and cold sweats. I had huge emotional swings. Anger, depression, mania. I would get pissed off or cry at the drop of a hat. My skin was itchy, like a crackhead. I had no thermo-regulation. I had to wear a heavy coat because 70 degrees in AC felt freezing.
Any substance you use is like buying happiness with a credit card. You are borrowing from your own ability to enjoy life, and you will have to pay it back later with interest.
I think weed actually has a use. I think it is best used as psychedelic, like mushrooms or LSD. Once in a while, you go on a trip and get some insight into what is holding you back. Then you spend a very long time sober, integrating what you have learned. Habitual use will just a build up a debt and then suddenly you wake up and owe China trillions of dollars.
I'm not sure if anyone benefits from daily usage of high THC. Even chronic pain patients, I would be very hesitant unless they are on hospice. If someone is using it for pain I would recommend at least 2:1 ratio of CBD:THC. That means twice as much CBD as THC. Maybe even more. CBD, CBG, CBN... the other cannabinoids are more therapeutic and less addictive. This is is why you cannot trust a corporation to grow this stuff for you. They care about money, not your health.
You can't let a corporation cook all your meals. Tell you what to watch or listen to. Or grow your psychoactive plants.
Excellent comment
Lol no you talking about opiate withdrawal, not thc, you don't have bad thermal regulation from weed withdrawal lmao, only opiate withdrawal
Thank you for your comment!! I love this perspective and especially the credit card analogy. I bought the narrative that was going around that people push that “it’s good for anxiety”-no you’re just intoxicated (words from another dr. on his podcast). I bought the narrative that it wasn’t addictive after already going thru an addiction to self-harm and caffeine/nicotine dependencies. Then I found my mental health spiraling way more downhill when I was on the upswing before. It really screwed with my mental health. I’m glad you shared this comment because cannabis is really not for everyone. And it’s become so much more potent, which I didn’t even realize until months in deep
@@seekingfreedom9020could’ve been laced with pesticides too, but everyone goes thru withdrawal differently. It’s very real.
@@seekingfreedom9020also the endocannabinoid system very much affects temperature regulation
Thanks for speaking in Great Falls, Montana. We very much enjoyed having you here and we hope you will come back someday.
I'm leaving my marriage because of this demon called marijuana. I met my husband while we both served in the military so I had no idea he had an issue with this. As we all have to be sober in the military. Well fast forward, and my husband picked up his addiction again, that I had no clue of. I have never used drugs before and drug use is a zero tolerance for me in relationships. I watched my entire childhood get ruined from my father's drug use so that's why I have a zero tolerance. Marijuana has caused my husband his military career, jobs, relationships, time and money. I currently pay all the bills because my husband refuses to hold down a job. Holes are in our walls from his anger. He packs and leaves constantly. I'm done with the marriage now. It only serves him because he has his cake and eat it too. He doesn't love me. He only loves making a fool of me. I pay all the bills while he sits around stoned being irresponsible. Sounds like a great plan for him. But makes my life a living hell.
Insane the ones that come on here to promote the destruction of their brain.
You gotta come on here and put all your business out here and trash the guy
Seems to me like you just complaining and you have a lot of excuses
Leaving him will change your life for good. He will realize that you were the best thing in his life after he becomes sober. He will be broken financially and physically because he is serving Marijuana as his god. You’re stronger than you think….
hope he finds a better wife then you
Person in recovery here, the worst thing about working a program and using cannabis is the stigma. HE'LL YEAH BORTHER!
Man this hit on so many levels. Thank you for this 🙏🏼
We've been told that when something like that becomes legal, that the products available will be of low potency which are beginner for users, but turns out that these states for business purposes and cash crop buy the highest potency and people don't know what they're doing, consuming, or have learned about what it is but regard it as if it their everyday intake of coffee, without understanding deeper inner intricate effects of it, by consuming a substance without researching and learning anything about it.
Im questioning it.(a rehab for weed). Im 25 years old and live with my parents. I do absolutely nothing. No job. No drive. No motivation to improve my live whatsoever. Im Also on antidepressants now. I believe weed has become my biggest problem. I want to quit, but im such a heavy smoker its hard. What makes it harder is my entire family smokes. I have absolutely no where to go where weed is not. Its impossible for me to quit. Id like to quit smoking, get a cdl and become a truck driver. This will never happen for me if i dont quit smoking. The only way i can actually quit and go through with it is getting away from it completely. Idk what else to do.
Tax revenue. The real reason states are going legal. Think about that. Same with liquor. Doesn't matter how many people die from drunk drivers. Tax money too important to the state. Sure thing
Throughout what i understood and examined the nuanced relationship between cannabis potency, frequency of use, and mental health risks, particularly focusing on schizophrenia and psychosis risk which suggests that high-potency cannabis significantly elevates the risk of psychotic reaction compared to low-potency cannabis for everyone, especially for individuals with schizophrenia or at ultra-high risk for psychosis. However, the impact of infrequent and moderate use of low-potency cannabis on these individuals may vary, indicating a complex interplay between dose-dependence and individual vulnerability. Caution and medical guidance are advised for those considering cannabis in this context, and as well for recreational use, the potency is really soaring this day, and many mix it with tobacco but either way, it's still strong, people look for the strongest varieties these days who seek more emergency rooms and re-hab centers for psychological addiction. I agree with you Dough Bopst.
Amazing conversation and it’s I’m exactly what I needed to hear today. 🙏🏽❤️
Well try having a parent who's been in an accident and to quell the pain their doctors are pushing them opiods turning them into a junkie trying a cure for the pain.
Frankly the anti cannibis movement makes me sick. How about going after the pharmaceutical industry who has a huge lobby group and destroys peoples lives by pushing hard-core narcotics under the guise of helping people.
I also take cbd for my chronic pain and it's been one of the few things that work. Also I keep hearing what about the children? Well what about the parents? How about taking a bigger step in your children's lives?
Who is this directed at? You need to be having these conversations with the Government and big pharma, or not at all.
Its always the same. Look at Ohio. The voters passed it and the republican senate tried to back peddle. As far as fighting big pharma? We do the problem is they have the same politicians in their pocket. You can legalize and control cannibis the anti movemrnt needs to come up.with solutions and not demonize the drug@lewisgreenhalgh7546
Bro, I’ve been on both sides of this argument. I even used to sell weed in a dispensary myself. I think that a lot of times these videos are for people who are unable to stop smoking after a while because it overtakes their lives. Like me. I used to justify it as some sort of miracle drug that helped people off opioids and maybe for some people really it really is. But I know that for me it would also continuously lead to a lifestyle death because I would get to a point where after a while, I would always find myself, waking and baking and doing nothing else with my life because there was nothing else to do and weed was more convenient.
Shaking off my harmful addictions one at a time. First it was tobacco. Then alcohol. Now this.
I started slamming weed and now I'm a serial killer 😮
It doesn’t make a difference it’s the culture, the Americans being happy, united, less individualistic more community based. The problem is not any drug. There is a core issue deep inside that a person hasn’t addressed, can’t recall, is scared to address that issue needs to be regurgitated and dealt with and even though it’s hard it’s the right thing to do. Once that person is at peace with the core issue I can assure you they will take control and deal with all vices in a safe manner, nothing will have the power to overtake a person. I know this from personal experience. The demon is not the drug. The demon is something that needs to be addressed. It’s somewhere inside of you… no rehab or meeting or sponsor or religious stuff ever worked. Me taking control and confronting myself and my mind. And once I dealt with my pain it was so easy I had no side effects. I control urges by never restricting myself from anything I simply tell myself “hey beautiful u live in Baltimore it’s an open air market for anything a person could want so u can do what u want when u want. But how bout today u just chill and hold off a min” and by me saying I can do anything and everything if I want but choosing to wait a day till the subject comes in my thoughts is cool and not difficult” the minute I label myself and count days and say I’m sober and shit I want to party…. My mind wants to do everything you restrict it from… that’s all I do. I don’t think the problem is anything legal or illegal I think life is hard and we are human and the way we live in America causes loneliness and I think substances is a connection to something which allows you to turn ur mind off
I experience many awful affects like owning two porsches, a home, success at work and more money than I know what to do with. Thanks cannabis.
That was you who did that, not weed. Don't be that guy, don't be triggered, let it be, it hits us all different.
So just imagine what you would have without cannabis.
Drugs affect everyone differently. Not everyone is the same.
Weed helped me before it hurt me.
I was successful too but I have the self awareness to realize I wasn’t able to be in the present moment… now I can actually produce my own dopamine and have a brighter relationship with myself, family, and friends
Why people going to the ER from today's weed as well 🤔
Smoked pot my whole life since a teenager . Im 50 now and got sober from alcohol and cocaine years ago, continued smoke pot the last few years cause i thought it was helping me with anxiety and whatnot but it just replaced my other addictions. The withdrawal symptoms from it were worse than 25 years of blackout fall down alcoholism. Way way worse than cocaine. Its a habitual compulsive addictive habit. Thanks for the video.
Lol alcohol we can kill you. Weed wd can't. Your high bro
@@seekingfreedom9020 *you're
You're high, bro.
Alcohol addiction and cocaine addiction isnt worse. Ive donr all three in my time so i know
And how many have died from smoking weed ?? and how many people die every from booze ?
Exactly!!🌱❤
If death is what you're worried about then sure. Most of us here are seeking freedom and clarity. I hate the idea of any substance having me dependant. Not to mention the damaging affects on rem sleep.
Alcohol has caused more death but if you have to go that extreme to justify a drug that’s crazy. On top of that weed causes psychosis even if you’re not genetically predisposed.. which has led to manslaughter and suicide. Proof in every brain matters and in this RUclips video with Dr Yasmin Hurd confirming it “Cannabis Changes Your Brain: Why It Makes You More Stressed and how to stop using it | Dr Yasmin Hurd “
There’s multiple different kinds of death. There’s physical death and then there’s what I like to call lifestyle death. Sure alcohol can lead to a lot of physical symptoms. Weed takes away from a person’s personal motivation and can lead to a death of the life that could be living while they were getting stoned instead. A life where they chose to face their anxieties and depression and chose to live in the moment and learn new hobbies and grow as individuals. P
For many people it becomes so easy to depend on it for emotional regulation that all you end up doing each day after work is get stoned. At least it was for me, and for the people I worked with at the time who were also fellow stoners. But just because you’re comparing one thing that can become a poison to another thing that can become a poison, doesn’t take away from the fact that both have the potential of becoming a poison.
How many people have missed out on their lives from being too stoned or drunk to be fully in them? To improve them?
I hate myself for making that mistake I could have lost all my hard work and life in one second
Really bothers me people always want to blame the thing rather than the people and the environments people find themselves in.
So how about you try quitting smoking? And tell us you don't have a hard time with it. 😅😅😅😅
Wtf are you talking about? I don't blame the marijuana or cigarettes , it's me, it's my inability to have self discipline and not use them while they are around @@cameronk3601. I'm not blaming the things I blame myself like everyone should do it's not the drugs or the guns it's us the people who use them...... You are saying blame the drugs for people being addicts and prohibiting them solves the problem? Banning guns doesn't stop people from getting shot either... It's not the things it's the people, poverty and capitalism is responsible for 90% of the issues humans struggle with today.
Some times it rly is the thing, and you stop the thing and life gets much better. It is that simple for many people.
Ask your budtender about the Dangerous Weed. Usually kept in the backroom
I agree it has its dangers and harms. However, the illegal market will never go away, so why not develop a model similar to alcohol rather than push for stigmatizing it.
No!
Because Alcohol should be illegal. Period.

Im sorry your ex. It likely had additional mental issues as well.@mw87675
“Weed potency is too high so we shouldn’t legalize and regulate it so people can choose low potency thc and will instead have to go to an illegal dealer they’ll only have high potency weed” please explain to me how this is ok how this makes any sense im begging you how can you possibly think this makes sense im serious please make me understand how depriving people of a safe source of something there going to do anyway is a good idea.
I am currently going through miserable fucking withdrawals because of weed
Thanks man, ur podcasts are really helping. Keep up the good work. PS: u should make a podcast about video game addiction combined with weed addiction, cuz i think people really underestimate these two, and just by my example literally anyone can be stuck there for years, thinking they have fun, but in reality they are wasting their life in exchange for some short term happiness.
So this means, someone who smokes the natural weed, the old "weak" stuff wont suffer the negative consequences?
Smoking weed is smoking weed. Doesn't matter how "strong" it is. That doesn't even go for synthetic cannabis.
@@GreenHotDogzjackass
Marijuana definitely triggers a lot of schizophrenia. A question is why certain kids feel a great desire to take drugs. In many cases there are underlying stresses that they are trying to relieve. For a lot of kids, especially teenagers, life is not easy. There is bullying, lots of pressure at school and their brains can't necessarily cope with all the hormone changes they are going through.
I don't agree with everything cuz not everybody is not the same we're all different in many different ways some people are lazy and some aren't as far as safe is concerned I think it's a whole lot safer than well and the other legal drugs that are out here today to be honest consist the way you use them you would think people would know this stuff that's kind of stuff
The best system is in Australia. medicinal. Heavy quality controls, there is a barrier to cross by seeing a doc that many still don't cross, it crushed the illegal trade and the garbage they sold. There are just people doing it to get their drug 'legally' but so many people are just getting it because they need it. As an oil or capsule. Slowly dose building starting with full spectrum with barely any THC to the optimal dose. It's amazing. It's a medicine and it should be treated like one.
About as safe as coffee, nowhere as dangerous and deadly as aspirin.
Someone not using the word demon...wow 😊
Totally agree, I also don't have more than a cup or two of coffee everyday. Moderation.
Look up CHS and try and say that
Ive quit 100 times I'm 34. im done
You can buy grain alcohol, Bacardi 151, etc anywhere. You can be so hungover to the point of impairment and still legally drive. That’s really all that needs to be said.
Now do this talk on alcohol.
Cannabis is medicine.
Weed is safe, when used responsibly.
When used responsibly by adults
When you're lucky to be compatible with it*
Not entirely harmless or dangerous either, and it's become dangerous over the years and i stopped using altogether due to my ultra high risk of psychosis, there's no safe recreational drug out there that's not addictice, what was banned, was done for a reason, there's always a reason when a law decides something is outlawed, politics and the law do not necessarily mix.
Marijuana is the least dangerous substance
What so old mate doesnt smoke weed he thinks no one else should be able too?
As a disabled person cannabis saves my life over and over everyday, its makes me a better person as well...Cannabis isn't dangerous, guns are but there alright...
This video is just a load of BS, free the plant... No kids should be smoking it anyway...
A lot of business, plenty of marijuana veterans who have been smoking for 25 30 years will be visiting these dispensaries, involving recreational in which the business money would go for those same veterans who smoke a lot and as well plenty of beginners fall for the first time in their life the highest potency, my first time in life was the highest potency and it came back to bite me hard in ass, and wreck a havoc on my mind, but in a pleasant way, either way, it wasn't a good thing to get done with already ultra high risk for psychosis without external influences, and aspergers syndrome, i didn't know at a teenager what substance i was making a joke out of.
Oh meds never worked for me unless I had an acute situation and then I stay on a month and and after that I feel fine and get off
Cannabis helps with so many conditions that people suffer from, we should focus on the positives of cannabis and not start to chase our shadows again , after the 70s the only researches were only about the bad ones they believed at the time , as humans we must learn from our mistakes and move forward and not backward.
Too many people make money, "treating addiction."
There is no evidence to suggest cannabis helps with any mental health conditions long term.
Exactly! pharmaceutical drugs have killed many.

Cool story.
Stupidest comment I've ever read. Weed is a mind altering drug. It is scientifically proven that it slows reaction time. You really think no family has died from some dumbass driving while stoned? I call bullshit
50 years for cannabis being anti cannabis has always been founded on racism. Natural consumption at low level is fine over 25. Obviously if you are daping, oil, or predisposed to mental illness you should stay away. The problem is lack of regulation.
Ikr this dude has the worst takes and even worse click baits
I’ve been off of cannabis for just over a month, but I’m concerned about my elevated heart rate now which started at the same time
Ya let’s stigmatize alcohol and nicotine and weed and caffeine and sugar and tv and video games and anything that can be addictive because people shouldn’t have to practice self control. I am begging you to tell me what I’ve said here and in my past comments that I’m wrong about.
Going to rehab for WEED? WTF?
Yes bc weed these days is a very addictive and dangerous drug causing severe mental illness acute psychotic effects suicidal reactions It’s the most addictive drug out there bc it unlike opioid for instance there are about 10 opioid receptors cannabis receptors there are 1000s so yes it is physically and psychologically addictive read peer reviewed literature there is endless scientific evidence supporting the destructive properties of THC
i did for 40 yrs
Bore off! Everybody knows. Its also about having the freedom to make that decision if you want snoke it or not. Kids arent stupid. Legal or illegal they will smoke it if they want as we did. Let people make their own choices. Idiots just anti weed.
