Doctors Gave Him THC As An Experiment. Watch How He Reacted
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- This video clip is a portion of a prime time television program looking at marijuana and its effects that ran in 1970. It was a time when many of my friends and colleagues tried marijuana and did not see or experience the risks stated by the government. It was illegal of course and dangerous to get caught with it. You could easily be put in prison as a surprising number of young Americans were.
Research scientists, doctors, pharmaceutical researchers and others, were studying the effect of marijuana (THC) trying to understand whether it had a positive benefit. Government law at the time said that it did not. many of the scientists who tried to work in the field did not agree with the government and felt that whatever research had been done, was done with prejudice and not based on any scientific research efforts. Some of these pharmaceutical researchers worked legally or tried to and some worked outside the law in secret.
Dr. Leo Hollister conducted this experiment at Veterans Hospital in Palo Alto, California and also conducted experiments at Stanford University. This video clip presents what was going on. In a way, it looks funny today but back then, this was important science because the baby boomers were taking risks and smoking marijuana in spite of the laws and everyone looking at this new that this behavior was not going to stop but would increase.
Dr. Hollister released several statements as a result of his research including this one. “Pharmacological studies of marijuana have confirmed that the outstanding effects are an initial alteration of mood characterized by euphoria, followed by alteration of consciousness characterized by sleepiness. Other mental effects reminiscent of those observed with other psychotomimetic drugs, such as alterations in time perception, visual perception, auditory perception, changes in ability to remember or keep track of things, and depersonalization, may be observed after higher doses of the drug. In general, the severity of effects parallels the dose of drug closely, so that generalizations about effects of marijuana must be qualified according to the dose used. As most use of marijuana in Western society employs relatively small doses, the drug may appear to be more innocuous than would be the case if the dosage pattern should be changed by use of increasingly potent materials.
Several subscribers have written me expressing help with their drug addictions. I recommend searching the following words and phrases - luxury detox center, luxury rehab near me, luxury drug rehab, 90 day rehab program, residential detox centers, detox facility, substance abuse facility, addiction treatment center, residential drug treatment.

@@danshady09 Anxiety trip you goofy not like actual tripping lol
@@danshady09 you dumb boy
Anxious, paranoid...See. This is exactly what weed does to me. I hate taking Xanax.!! But. Marijuana causes me to become very anxious and nervous, hold my breath and completely paranoid. I would love to be able to eat an edible and relax, be chill around at least my family. I have emphysema and COPD. Can't smoke it. Hurts my chest. My kids smoke weed and tell me all the time "Mom, smoke a little with us and try to chill." But I do not like the ill effects it has on me! Any suggestions. Even as a teenager. I faked smoked with my friends ...to this day they still do not know that .
personally in my experience its the sativa strains that make me more anxious. Indica heavy strains never make me nervous
I don't think these scientist anticipated how hilarious that we, the people of the future, would find this to be 😂
Why is it hilarious? Are you a 10 year old who's never seen someone high before? It's just weed. Calm down
Salute to this man for having a good time and no anxiety
i think a lot of my weedxienty comes just from it being illegal. like i feel like i've just killed someone and everybody knows about it.
@@enikkss lmao nah bro screw that. Then again it legal here in NYC
How the hell you get anxiety from weed🤣
That's probably because the stuff we smoke/ingest nowadays is wayyyy stronger
You only get anxiety when your trying to fight it, here we was accepting the high and not trying to fight it
The way he’s saying “NOT AT ALL” then gets the ‘sleepy’ card and takes a moment to debate then says “/a little/“ made me die laughing.
Well he did say "not at all" to the fatigue card, then a few cards later he drew the sleepy card.

I thought that too, 3 joints for a first timer is crazy 😂😂
@@JohnHarris-ri4ev they got him stoned😂😂
Thought the same thing, but I'm guessing joints back then weren't like the diesel we have today.
@@JohnHarris-ri4ev it’s also the fact that he ingested it orally which means he technically was given an edible and it’s now known that the thx is broken down into another molecule which gives you a stronger and longer lasting high than if he’d actually smoked the 3 joints
I don't think it was his first THC/weed experience lol
Imagine being a doctor who has never used THC nor been exposed to it, and then seeing this man's wonderful reactions. You know damn well this doctor worked late one night and ended up dosing himself! ha
He'd probably overthink it and find some elaborate way to take a dose home and the rest was history. Catch him at Woodstock in a few years
The way he says “not at all” he’s just chill 😂
They want him to say something bad about the drug so bad lmaooooo😂 and they still made it illegal . You can NOT TRUST what they want you to believe.

@myc really? What do you know? How dangerous is it?
@@myceliation this is abnormal behavior, are you on drugs?
It's still a drug, so you need to treat it with respect: no operating heavy machinery, no driving cars, etc. Basic stuff. One thing is for sure though: it's way less harmful than alcohol to your body, and way less harmful to society than alcohol.
Agreed...once you get it dialed in it does fing wonders for all kinds of ailments...we grow sativa leaning hybrids because the cbds decrease the amount of seizures my son has
I've been testing on myself since 1976 but the results are still inconclusive. Much more testing is needed.

They knew Evan back then that THC would destroy big pharmaceutical companies, and they did everything they could to keep any positive information from us. This plant helps so many of us in so many different ways. Legalize it.
1 John 2:17
And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
True for weed is one of the best remedies for mankind, it literally can cure cancer have witnessed this first hand. The goverment doesn't want cures it wants profits and there is not much profit in cures.
Is biblical truth that "plants are remedies" given to us by God to naturally heal.
Just like alcohol there is a line between using it for medical use or being a drunkard as a person that smokes all day for fun is just that a drunkard.
Plus if it's legal this cuts out the cartels of the south to where the local economy can benefit from it being legal so as to stop funding the cartels for where there is a will there is a way, anyone can find anything in any city if they really want even after trillions of tax dollars spent for decades to stop the flow.
If a person wants a buzz there is nothing stopping them from getting one and it is better they smoke than drink or use other hard-core substances as weed is not addictive or deadly like all the others are. A person can get a buzz and die from huffing paint or gas yet they are nit illegal.
The hatred for this plant is from pure indoctrination like the reply above this for they do not know the truth as they believe whatever msm has told them.
You can grow a plant for dang near free in your yard and cure yourself or have the meds you need or pay a fortune to take pills for life.
I knew a guy that had medical issues that was on hard-core pills like oxycotton and other pills he was taking daily that use to tare up his gut and made it hard to eat and sleep, he found out about Simpson oil and tried it, he nolonger takes those wicked pills and takes only the oil which cured his pains appetite and sleep issues.
Alcohol is way worse yet the hypocrits don't care because it doesn't fit their indoctrinated beliefs, have seen a man pee on other men thinking them a toilet, beat their wives or children, drive into others on the road or into things like trees do to being drunk, never have I seen in all my years a person do these things while stoned. To support the legalization of alcohol yet not weed is pure ignorance and hypocritical.
I guess they just like supporting the satanic cartels.
@@onward8231 Cannabis is not just THC, CBD and many other cannabinoids work synergistically to provide medical and recreational benefits. No one is encouraging children to use cannabis unless it is to treat a medical condition or symptoms of a condition, such as certain types of epilepsy or muscle spasticity. THC and CBD has been shown to halt and even reverse cancerous cell growth. Do you drink alcohol or smoke tobacco?
@@onward8231 I think it should be used sparingly but adults without mental issues. THC can exacerbate mental issues, especially in children. I think it should be federal legal however, as the war on drugs is a waste or resources, and publicly promote that THC is dangerous to minors.

Reefers!
In 1972, I spoke with a fellow employee who had just recently been released from the Florida prison system. He spent seven years on a chain gang building roads in the Florida swamps, all for the crime of possessing two MJ joints. He was a broken man. His time in prison did him more harm than any consumption of MJ could have done.
That sucks. The stories like this are far too many. Too many of these kinds of scenarios with 'one or two joints' were set-ups by crooked cops, especially in small town rural areas where you had no recourse. 😡

It's all about mindstate, he was in a safe environment being given this by a doctor and also it was one of his first times so he didn't have much to fear, when you're young you can "just go with it" and not overthink things and give into fear, as you get older the fear and anxiety creeps in.

Even at 70s weed strength, I have never seen anyone down 3 joints in quick succession by themselves. It's like they tried to make him overdose, but he just got happier. This man is going to need an extra large pizza and a 2 day sleep.
EDIT: I didn't literally mean overdose, was just a figure of speech. Also, I'm sure many of you could smoke 3 joints but he seems to be a lightweight toker. He's on a nice trip :-)

Excellent study, Doctor. Thirty years of personal research has led me to the same conclusions.
Isn't it wild how people with real experience and street knowledge sometimes know more than doctors and scientists? Once seen where a doctor tried to say the resin people scrape from their pipes is purely placebo which is complete bullshit because I still get high asf and munchies off smoking resin.

I am trying to stop smoking.
But I am wondering why now..
@@renacleerican7824Get a vape.
Being able to obtain my medical marijuana card saved my life. I am a recovering addict and have been sober off Opiates and heroin for 5 years. I also been able to stop all antidepressents\anti anxiety meds. I would much rather take THC pills vs taking Xanax and other chemical comprised medications. I have also been able to start a career that I never thought possible.
I like that guy at the end. Don't criminalize harmless youthful behaviors, bc it's bad for society as a whole to think of the youth as criminals.
Because - Heaven forbid - we find simple happiness without spending a ton of money. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it's very telling when you notice these patterns in society.
It becomes harmful when you work or drive under the influence of Marijuana. There's been many serious workplace accidents at my work because of Marijuana or THC vapes
@@AnonYmous-qg4ph It's a matter of personal responsibility when it comes right down to it. My rules for THC are the same for alcohol: know your limits, don't go to work high/drunk, don't GET drunk/high at work, and don't drive drunk/high.
My dad always said that if I were to drive drunk, I wouldn't have to worry about the police because he would kill me. I like to believe my dad was successful in creating a strong moral backbone for his kids, despite the many challenges.
I count my blessings that I was taught responsibility in an age where that is quickly becoming less and less common. I've worked alongside quite a few older people who've had substance abuse problems, and another few younger ones who just don't care. It's honestly quite disheartening.
Yes, that is brilliant!
@WeenieTheRoast the consequences are the same where I work. If you get a post-accident drug test that shows any drugs, including THC and alcohol, it's immediate termination.

Word. There's two scenarios where it's best for me. 1) hanging with friends and joking around, 2) smoke and lay in bed for 3 hours thinking about my life and slowly drift to sleep. A few times a week is great.
Nah bro I’ve smoked weed for years and Towards the end of my journey with it I started to notice serious damage. To my memory, speech, general mindset and much more. The drug is only good in the moment. The problem starts when it becomes necessary to make the moment bearable. It is a distraction at best.don’t lie to yourself. The only people who smoke weed and enjoy it are people with time to do so. And the majority of those people exchange productivity for that time they have to smoke.
I don't think it's a wonder drug. There's risks. I think it's good to show some restraint or else it will take over your life. For example, I noticed that sometimes I'll be studying a complicated subject and if I think about it when high, it'll will all click and be understandable. In a way, this is good, and why I would have to disagree with some of your statements, though I understand that that happened to you. It's hard for me to figure out which factor in my life causes which results. It's why scientific experiments are always designed so that the variables are limited and isolated, and the observer is supposed to be unaware of whos in the experimental group and who's in the control group. We don't have the ability to do this with self-reflection. My life has had ups and downs with attention, focus, mood, anxiety levels and sometimes it's due to the external environment, sometimes it's due to unconscious factors that I am unaware of, sometimes it's due to how much thc I been ingesting. At the end of the day, it's cliche, but everyone is different. You must have found value in it at one time and then you moved on. Take care.
Even if those 3 'marijuana cigarettes' were low grade and low THC, that's an INSANE amount for a first timer... I had 3 puffs on a 15% THC joint and it knocked me into the couch laughing so hard at how I couldn't follow my own train of thought until I swore I poo'ed my pants and had to get up to check (luckily I did not poo poo).
Same thing happened to me!! But I thought I had peed myself. When I looked at my pants I did not pee...but I thought I did because I thought I couldn't feel my body!! 😂😂

Cannabis is one of the most important health foods on the Earth. This is not a joke at all. Just a 45 year old veteran who quit decades of toxic alcohol abuse and literally found his life again thanks to that plant.
i completely agree, my great uncle served in WW2 and his greatest enemy turned out not to be the germans or japanese, but the bottle. he was a hard drinker for most of his life, until he moved out to where i am, Seattle, and managed to get a hold on his drinking. he himself said it was the hardest thing he'd done in his whole life. he practically had to relegate himself to his room, as both being around children and being around lots of people made him want to drink, almost unbearably so. he still struggled decades after getting sober. i don't know if he ever smoked cannabis, but he still lives on in my memory as one of my greatest heroes, a man who truly sacrificed everything to overcome the evil in this world. sorry to type out this entire paragraph about that, just got reminded of him from your comment. it's going to be a decade since he passed away soon, and it nevee gets easier having someone that amazing missing from your life. also, thank you for your service, i don't like war or what the military does, but my respect for the people who have suffered through it is immense.

the doctors are literally giving it to him which means they’re doing it legally so there would be nothing to be afraid of. plus when ur stoned u dont give a fuck
True...people were casually more durable back then you pussy fuck💋
Nothing gives you anxiety, you give yourself anxiety, your mindset, lifestyle and diet influence anxiety, all of these start with your mind. Also certain injuries can contribute to anxiety too. But people act like anxiety is a disease, it's not. You don't "have" anxiety, you "feel" anxiety, that doesn't mean you have anything it's just a feeling stemming from something else in your mind and life. Quit being a victim of anxiety, stop doing things that cause you to be anxious, fix your Diet, sleep, exercise, hobbies, no more smoking etc... Do not let a doctor give you anxiety pills either, that's a scam and a religious dogma that you need pills for emotions , that's insanity
That professor in the end was spot on. Too bad it took so many years and so many ruined lives for this to be understood by most people/government in this country
When my Mom was receiving Chemotherapy she was so sick ..And even though she had lung cancer she could not stop smoking..Our state didn't prescribed medical pot,So I went and found her some!! She could smoke it and it was awesome for her nausea....
It bumped up her appetite helped so much with her pain and anxiety...Her 6 months turned into almost 2 year's....
Every extra day was a blessing...
I truly believe the Herb made her illness less stressful !! It didn't cure her but it made the treatments a little easier and it gave her little more peace..
Without evil side effects..
I believe it should be legalized and monitored..
Like booze!! No driving under the influence
My uncle made it through 3 fights with cancer. He swore that THC is what helped him fight off the bad side effects of chemo. He unfortunately died in 2013, but he was a fighter. Cancer takes the life out of people but I believe that there's natural ways to ease the pain and unease of pharmaceuticals. Marijuana shouldn't be treated like a bad thing.
I got my dad some when he was on chemo for lung cancer. It definitely helped his nausea. Poor Dad. That was such an awful time. RIP Dad.
Well that would you know...actually make sense. So it's never going to happen.
And Idiots still think alcohol is safer because it is legal

There is no drug that has no downsides. Marijuana just happens to be among the best positive to negative ratio ones. But some people do have negative effects on their lives. Laziness and forgetfulness probably being the worst though. Harmless enough side effects as is but can also lead to bad long-term outcomes.
@@stephenodubhlaoich those are both stereotypes from movies and media and the government. you would be amazed how many people are high all day working their asses off, doing skilled and dangerous work. Regular users are not getting the same high as occasional users, just like having six beers in a day is not going to get an alcoholic drunk. A lot of people have stress, because we live in a stressful world, and weed is a good treatment for a lot of people, without some of the nasty side effects of alcohol and prescription drugs.

Best comment so far..
haha, this is reminding me of the very beginning of the movie "Pineapple Express", where it goes back to the 1950's where you can tell angry and confused American military is experimenting by doing exactly this, dosing people with THC and observing the effects. So when the patient starts feeling the effects by laughing and calling the military generals embarrassing names, the generals get angry it's not the devils drug like they hoped but they deem it "ILLEGAL!!!!" anyways. Great movie.

"Not at all, Sheesh" LOL I love this guy.
The equivalent of 3 joints smoked would toast you. Ingested, woah, that is a serious dose. No wonder he was feeling good and lasted so long.
true, but keep in mind that the weed that existed when this was filmed was much, much weaker than the kind we can get today (from 10-25% of the current strength of commercial weed)
And very likely with zero "tolerance" built up, too. If they ran this same experiment once per day over 5 days, by day 5 he'd be far (far!) less "high".
Lmao damn brother I was thinking the same thing!!! Back in the day I was more of a loratab and cocaine guy!! Just being honest, we have all done something right!!!
@unmaker But this wasn't weed, this was extracted thc much like dabs or rso and was likely 90% or more pure.Thc is still thc and wasn't weaker then the bud just had less in it. And ingesting it would only make it stronger.
@@Trahzy It was extracted yes, but they still gave him the equivalent of 3 joints worth of thc for their time, which is lesser than today. Ingesting it though obviously is stronger.

Great video David. It is striking to see how slowly society has been to liberate this substance from its criminal status despite its overwhelmingly therapeutic effect for so many ppl

Yes it was society at large and not the powers that be . . . .
Still Illegal Federally... so Big Pharma can fill the State "Legalized" position...The largest grower is ...AURORA HEALTH CARE...
It takes one or two to make it illegal, they didn't look further and some took it off scale and abused it. Also, make it illegal so that people would be more controlled. While one person is high on thc, that one person can change the world.
I was 21 in 1970, and whenever I would smoke a joint, I would laugh a lot 😂 at anything, and then I would get really hungry at which time I would buy a big bag of chips. It was a great time 😃🤣😂

"nothing like it in the real world".....exactly.
I began this study myself in 2015. Very interesting and compelling research.
I had a thc pill in the 70s and I laughed until my jaws hurt.
It's amazing that after all these years it's still illegal in so many places. Nothing makes me content after a stressful day or even just enjoying a day out fishing like a little puff. I don't get stoned just a nice little relaxing toke that relaxes my body. Also helps me sleep when I have my occasional bouts of insomnia. Totally non addictive physically (I know some ppl develop mental addiction but that happens with all sorts of things), peaceful,calming,etc. Don't get me wrong I like a sip of single malt scotch occasionally as well but even it doesn't compare. I truly believe if anything had to be prohibited it should be alcohol.
I support the use of cannabis through and through but if u use it in excessive amounts your body will have withdrawals if u stop useing. I couldn’t sleep without jerking and twitching violently enough to wake up as soon as I fell asleep despite being extremely tired and fatigued. Also if I stop smoking theirs a huge chemical off balance that puts me into slight depression and I get really agitated very easily. I use it all day every day and consume at least 4 grams of high quality herb daily. It got me off alcohol that was ruining my life through dui’s and bar fights and almost a fatal crash due to a friend driving us drunk. Alcohol got me into so much trouble and made me an arrogant asshole and cannabis did the opposite. It allows me to relax and sort my thoughts. Slows down my brain that is always firing way to fast for me to control. Although I am addicted to cannabis without a shadow of a doubt… I can honestly say it made me a better person and I now care about others and things that I never thought twice about. Consuming large amounts of thc allows your mind to access dementions that you cannot stimulate otherwise. Turns on the inner self… the one that isn’t bound by ego or society’s perspectives. U will actually start to think for yourself and read through peoples b.s. fair warning…be around like minded people or they won’t get u or understand your perspective of things and u will distance yourself from closed minded people.
@@danieloakes6637 Cannabis is fat soluble and "detox" is not really the same as with other drugs. It's not a dependency to the drug the body is going through, it's a detoxification cycle to clear the fatty tissues. been through it MANY times myself.
I too, did not do well with alcohol. I tried to be a "good drunk" and stay home and not drive, ended up smacking my head on the nightstand while going to bed. Alcohol causes gravity problems 😋. Not a safe drug for me. And I can be rather disagreeable on the stuff too, lol.
And "addiction"? we're all addicted to a lot of stuff. Our economy is based upon it. And humans are very good at lying to themselves.
I prefer nitrous oxide binges
Alcohol was prohibited but no more and I do agree , I been drinking since 12 and smoked at 13 , drugs are man made and alcohol is a drug that is bad
You need a puff after fishing? Seriously? Dude your addicted.....you might as well said "after a relaxing study in the library, I can't wait to get home and take a drag, to knock the edge off". Pure delusional.
Imagine what could be known this day if they didn’t make positive research against the law for soooooo many years.
That alcohol in the dose sent the THC straight to the brain which would explain the extreme detachment.
It stimulates the appetite because it increases metabolism.
It stimulates appetite because it causes the release of Ghrelin in the intestines
Weed goes to the brain and makes people hungry. Who knew? Lol
My own feeling is that it heightens pleasure of music, sex and food, so you indulge... and with less inhibition, especially with alcohol in the mix
it's just enough alcohol to dissolve the THC, they didn't get him drunk. Skew the results
Do you mean, because it raises your metabolism, that I would never have to go to the gym ever again?

It was because of DuPont, they didn't want competition. Instead of making plastic from oil / a pollutant we could use hemp and marijuana to make biodegradable clothes, plastic, clothing, building materials , fuel and so much more. So the propaganda against it was all planned by big corporations and our own government. Plus it help with medical issues and can be grown easily / cheap. Naw big pharma didn't like that either. So people go to jail instead of using it to help not only the people but our environment also. You may be able to find the documentary

Dr. Leo Hollister dosed Ken Kesey at Menlo Park in 1959-60 some years prior to this film. Hollister was a good human being & excellent researcher. He conducted extensive number of research studies on a massive number of substances which helped expand human knowledge of Psychopharmacology by significant measure!
My research of Hollister shows he was far more important in drug research than he was EVER credited! Steven Szara knew him and was in fact interviewed by him in 1997 about Szara’s DMT research.

Thanks David Hoffman this was fascinating I love these old research documentaries and results of their experiment regardless of subject matter. as a kid I often wonder about the foods and drinks human digest someone had to be the first the person to try them. I knew some classmates in high school in the 1970's who did smoke marijuana as recreational use, somehow I manage to stay clear drugs as I was growing up.
The end made me feel sad. I'm sitting here with my stuff, while people sit in prison. I hate that!

Ya 4-6. Doc did say at point near the end, "its been 2hrs how do you feel?" And he was still lit lol

I try this experiment every day. I have chronic pain and get immediate relief from about 25 mg of THC. I never feel wasted..😮😊
Wow 👌
That's how I was when I screwed up my shoulder. Deal with it as best I was able with ibuprofen during the day then pop a gummy after work. The side effects were snacks and a good sleep. Significantly better than needing an anti nausea prescription on top of the opioid prescription. All this stigma simply for actively choosing the non addictive substance.
@@AzureLupineits amazing how they will give you opioids, which ruin thousands of lives and are extremely harmful to society because of addiction, but not weed, which isnt addictive and doesnt put thousands of people on the street because all they care about is getting more drugs so they dont get dopesick.

I feel like I've about hit middle age lately. It's interesting to me the feelings I now have about the world and people, having experienced actual change over time with many topics. For looking at comments, in other places, of people younger than me saying things like "I remember when..." and that was like 6 years ago and NOT a long time ago! It makes me laugh a little but then I also appreciate it because I am happy that they are having their own experiences, and in time will probably feel where I'm at too. I can only imagine what it is like for people even more seasoned than I am. This is just one of the reasons I really like these videos. This marijuana topic change is still in progress though, of course.
I resonate with your comment. Its hard to put in words this feeling of change. I can only say that it is consciousness.
Im about in the middle to man.
Hope you enjoy the last half!
Sometimes I feel like the increased legal paranoia regarding weed had permanently marked our generation’s experience of being high.
Don't confuse first time use with regular use. It's fun at the beginning but then it makes you lose motivation, the capacity to focus, makes you increasingly paranoid and it messes up your way of life. I did it for 20 years and i became a loser, barely had motivation to wash my clothes and i lost some jobs because of that. I'm not saying that's dangerous but weak personalities will have only to lose IF they make it a regular use. Either way i'm not doing it anymore or on very very rare occasions.
I agree. I'm trying to get my cousin to see his side of it. I've quit for about four months now and I'm not so damn apathetic about everything, but my cousin can't be bothered to do any chores, let alone his own laundry. Hell, he even neglects his own kid.
Responsible use is best, I guess.
If you compare it to alcohol, it’s a better drug. But it’s still a drug with consequences.
Sounds like you were depressed
You likely had other issues in your life and were using the weed as a scapegoat. But if getting off of it helped you become motivated and clean up your life you could make the case that it did help you to realize your flaws and correct them.
As a older teen, I smoked pot occasionally and loved the way I felt so free bc I was so quiet and shy. My brothers would tell me to take two tokes bc I laughed so hard and made them laugh their butt off. Then once I smoked with someone else that must have laced with something bc I was so paranoid and I hadn't ever felt that way before. I never did any other drugs other than an occasional black beauty when I worked the grave yard shift in a factory But when my own kids were teenagers I always told them I had rather them smoke pot than drink alcohol. They did, however eventually do other drugs. One is an addict who struggles to stay clean. They grew up in the 80's when the D.A.R.E. program was taught. So I kinda feel like certain personalities are more prone to experiment with other drugs and some of those have addictive personalities so they are more likely to become addicts.
it wasnt laced you just got too high it happens to alot of people that dont smoke alot they get some extra strong weed and get really paranoid/anxious and think the weed was "laced"
Ya u probably just got way too high and u weren’t around your brothers so u weren’t comfortable.
"way too high blablablabla". Too much THC in ratio to CBD I would say. This plant is more complex than most most most people understand, even doctors and other scholars.
@@smurfdaddy420 not true there’s such thing called k2 and it has different effects. Usually they look similar but can be confused as “laced”
You are absolutely right, the LORD JESUS has helped me with my addiction to marijuana, and as someone who has destructive OCD, medically diagnosed, it 1000% is worse for those who have addictive personalities, even something like weed is super dangerous compared to normal but in general weed is bad because it's a sin.

40 years later, medical scientists are still not quite ready to return a final verdict
Back in the early seventies at university a friend baked some "brownies" for me, the effect was marvelous euphoria for the first 15 minutes but it kept going higher and higher and I started feeling less and less self control. At the time we didn't know how much consuming THC as opposed to smoking it multiplied the intensity. I started feeling queasy and dizzy and couldn't stay upright so my friend took me to the university student clinic where I laid down and became very sick, moaning and vomiting up the brownies . . .I still remember the nurses looking at me disdainfully, with no sympathy whatsoever, apparently they were used to this situation with students.
10-20 mg. In an edible is just right.
its so strange how nurses can be so judgmental. it seems to me like a lot of people just in general stopped caring about their job. its like after the plandemic everyone just wants to do the bare minimal and get home to relax.

I had to quit smoking daily because of this reason as well, and I honestly blame the high potency weed thats came out. Now i smoke every now and then with a higher cbd rate and it feels much better than the hard stuff i used to smoke, its a easy thing to abuse when ur young and dumb but you grow out of it eventually.
