next time grab a more relevant shill to push outdated opinions.
😉💯😂
or don't grab any of these police union thugs
yeah, this dude is only mad he's not gonna get rich from it.
Exactly my thoughts.
@@ryanhamblin2768 he gets plenty of lobbying dollars from conservatives😂
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
Congrats on your recovery. Most people don't realize that psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives.
To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.
Can you help me with a reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. It is very hard to get a reliable source here in Switzerland. Really need!
Yes, Sporeville. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction... Mushrooms definitely made a huge difference to why I'm clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He's 59 & has many mental health issues plus probably CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD knows if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Propaganda
Exactly 💯
💯 % that guy is a Propaganda Puppet 😑
Weed brain detected
Wrong
The pot today is making people more stupid than the pot from the 60s! Wakeup and understand that the government wants to keep people more " Brain dead"! To be easier to control! Now we have dead brained people walking and driving around
This guy is a clown ,alcohol is not good for you 😂😂
Yeah I dropped a match into an empty bottle of devil springs and it blasted a flame out from the vapors and I was like……. Should I be drinking this?
This is the definition of Gaslighting.
💯
Dude is reading statistics from mid 2000’s date clearly doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about.
Yeah, but you know what you're talking about because social media gives you a voice right?
Definitely planted for this interview, backtracking for alcohol was a clear give away.
He's a former government drug advisor but somehow flower is much more of an issue than opioids? But seriously, he has been fighting legalization for many year through his nonprofit. Many of the statements he made he's been making for years. He tried to fight it in California and Nevada, which he lost, but he has set of PACs in almost every state to keep fighting. Imagine if that effort was put into opioids?
clear giveaway
@@kespo5358thank you‼️
"Cannabis should stay illegal cause it's harmful"
Like alcohol?
"Well alcohol has been around forever, western nations have always used it"
Clownnnnn
He said that's why it is legal but is the number one drug for violence. He condemns it. From his statements on alcohol, he doesn't think it should have been legalized.
@@UO-kn5xc He drinks it just like his alcoholic cop buddies.
OMM😂😂😂 MAN NA FR
Legalize IT!
I am a retired certified scientist, and I represented the federal government as an expert witness in court on this issue and this guy is full of misinformation.
Oh, of course this guy makes excuses for alcohol, 🙄 I personally like people when they smoke marijuana verses drinking alcohol. I’ve met many mean drunks, I’ve yet to meet a mean “stoner”.
I know a drunk. Look him up, Brock Turner
I've also met a heck of a lot of people who were able to successfully remove alcohol from their lives by switching to cannabis.
@@victormorales3604 i am one of them. i am healthier ,happier,and more productive now
Alcoholic people are easier to control, manipulate, and blackmail. This is the reason why the Russian government pushes it so much. People there are brainwashed into thinking the more poison your body can drink without throwing up shows how strong you are. The government there uses alcohol to devolve the population into complete and utter submission at the expense of fertility rates, families, social cohesion, etc. Now the Russian government can invade countries with zero pushback from their citizenry. This is why people like this man want to replicate that in the US. Marijuana is an obstacle to that end goal. By eliminating healthier recreational substances as an option they force people into one they want everyone to be addicted to - Alcohol.
Alcohol is so much worse than pot. Hard to listen to a guy that has no idea what he's talking about regarding pot.
People's paranoia and panic attacks disagree with you
@@MikeHunt90731if it doesn’t agree with you, then don’t use it.
He's a paid Propaganda Puppet 😂
@@MikeHunt90731ok and how many people get angry when they're drunk and hurt someone
As soon as he smokes some he's gonna charge his mind😂
this guy makes no sense
Propaganda Puppet's never make sense 😉
Like a dog chasing it's tail 🤨
100% chance this guys a drinker, pops pills, and doesn't smoke.
It's not a good idea to keep putting people behind bars for a plant!
Let's legalize opium too. It comes from a plant too. /s
@@UO-kn5xc Mushrooms should be legal too!
@@UO-kn5xcyou joke but i promise if opium was legal there would be no fentanyl crisis.
I can understand him claiming it's not good for him. Just, not his claiming it's not good for me.
ok, boomer...
why is cocaine classified less than marijuana then?
Man made is narcoticsl, naturally grown is dependance, 1 drug schedule, na2. 😊
because it was used medically, whereas the government lied for decades about marijuana not having any medicinal use
Really bc all rich people dabble in cocaine 😂
Do a DEEP DIVE on why marijuana was REALLY made illegal, it will blow your mind. It starts with a old WHITE Man & you can take it from there 🤔🤨😉
@@sbloome77you don’t need to be rich to do cocaine but it certainly helps.😀
The negative aspects of legalization will be felt by the alcohol industries. A smarter, less unhealthy and less dependent on alcohol society will be a sharp hit on alcohol and tobacco's bottom line.
That's why conservative brewers changed its name to Marijuana, to let good ol Dixie racism destroy it because it sounds Mexican.
Who Cares ! Less DUI's 😉
Do you know when and why cannabis was made illegal??
All done to ensure the “ valued” tobacco, alcohol , and big- pharma continued to retain control & profit margins
I wish RUclips would let us see the dislike ratio on videos 😂
I can literally grow this for free in my backyard with my tomatoes and cucumbers
I can also and I voted for trump twice
^_^ That sounds lovely. I hope you get a good harvest this year.
@@wanderingsoul4104 I can't tell if your being sincere to firststate or trolling sweetsnake. lol
Sounds like the making of a good salad .🙂
@@brucerobinson1284 😅😅😅👍🌲
Vote BLUE if you love your weed and you don't wanna go to jail for it anymore!!!!!
Lies and deception
Not completely. If you're a daily smoker you've had to have experienced memory loss and brain dumbing down. Or, you're not a user.
All based on decades of accumulated contaminated data...
@@Lafata44I smoke daily (20 years) and experienced none of that. My memory is better than 99% of non smokers I know.
@@Lafata44I wish people would get an education before just spiting opinions I smoke everyday all day for medical reasons and I'm not sitting here having memory loss. Stop spreading lies
@@nonstoprollie2810 I wish you'd mind your own business. What I described happens to many people, I've seen it first hand!!! I've been involved with cannabis for several decades, I grow it as well.
Hes the kind of guy that got high 1 time, had a panic attack, and it turned him completely against it.😂
People who have big money invested in pharma company stocks are going to lose money, that's the underlying point here.
Yes It Is 😉💯
The man talking about how bad marijuana is probably goes home every night and has a stiff drink!
You are less than 8% of the US citizenship if you want cannabis illegal. Get a new schtick, this is worn out.
The fact that 8% of voters can keep Marijuana illegal goes to show you who truly owns the government.
His resume defines his opinion
Man, there’s a reason you don’t work for presidents.
That man is nuts.
The potential dangers of reclassifying the drug? Really? Think of the dangers of the drug being illegal and unregulated.
That's true, so that's why you should grow your own 😉
Kevin has some VERY outdated concepts. Been legal in Canada for years and our country hasn't fallen apart.
I can describe an opposite mirror image of this elusive heaven you just described.
Foolish, so many older people are getting the relief they have been waiting for. Moving them away from opiates is a good thing. Young people are not adopting it as expected. Alcohol is horrible!
Where I live the flower shops open at 8am just for the older customers.
I'm 59 & started smoking weed at 13, I'm still Puff Puff Passing, just in moderation 😉
Go walk your dog, more Bull S.
More mis information more telling people what to do. Sorry Kevin
It's not a gate way drug alcohol is the gateway drug
I think sugar is the 1st drug we all experienced
The data says cannabis users STOP at cannabis. The total opposite of the myth.
@@dariush.4241Sugar is much more dangerous than weed
I smoke weed and am no longer abusing alcohol. I suffer from depression, chronic pain, and PTSD, marijuana is my miracle! I'll never stop using it! It's my miracle medicine! It helps all of my medical issues. Let the people decide to use herbal medicine over pharmaceuticals if they choose! Natural is better!
100% accurate!!!! alcohol kills people every day!
"Potential Dangers" the only potential danger is the government not being able to collect higher taxes on legal cannabis companies, cause once you take it out of the federal roster the prices will go down, and price per pound of Marijuana is also gonna go down. The California market is already saturated as the average is already $600-$700 a pound wholesale, but if you illegally sell those pounds in very restricted states in the eastcoast it can go higher than $3k-4k a pound. When you lift these restrictions, all prices on pounds will drop significantly, and you have politicians on the marijuana payout and they want to keep those prices high. Of course Biden lied about legalizing it in his presidency just to get votes.
So alcohol is a gateway then too
Yes ! Always has & Always will BE 😉
Watch out everybody the black market on tomatoes is through the roof this year
Something tells me this guy's employer is subsidized by the alcohol industry. Legal marijuana is causing a massive decline in alcohol use.
Well they just say marijuana use is on the rise and completely leave out the other part because agendas.
Ain’t no negative affects to this !! B LEGALIZE IT ALREADY!!!!
It couldn't possibly go any worse than the "legal" opioid epidemic that resulted in parents overdosing in their cars with their children watching. How about inviting one of the flower shop/brand CEOs on for their 2 cents? They must have lots to say about paying taxes like legitimate businesses but not allowed to use the same resources like banks.
And Doctors got RICH & BIG PHARMA is the BIGGEST drug dealer in the WORLD 🤨😉
I'm not sure he understands correlation vs causation.
About to say the same thing, and if we think about that’s the main problem around the world , created by the old propaganda with no medical evidence
personally i believe it should be legal under the same restrictions and beer or hard liqure stop
I bet this guy gets paid by the prison industry somehow...
or pharma, or alcohol, or tobacco, or all of 'em
And marijuana does have health benefits
You still are ingesting smoke Einstein 😅
@@MikeHunt90731 you don't have to smoke it Tesla
@@MikeHunt90731 you sound dumb. edibles exist duh
@@MikeHunt90731 He didnt say he smoked it. Many people are doing gummies. Einstein.
@@MikeHunt90731 That's why there are edibles. In fact, the younger adults I know skip smoking altogether and use gummies for their health or for recreation.
I call bull on this one.
Most Americans don't need education on Marijuana but the politicians sure do
i got an engineering degree, became a successful faang engineer, got very rich, retired by 50. all while regularly using weed. I also eat healthy, drink almost no alcohol, and in outstanding shape and can lift heavy weights. i have a pretty, educated *first* wife and many kids. i got an mba. i was stoned a good part of 1988 - 2024.. i'm still waiting for it to ruin my life.... maybe this pasty little guy could help guide me to salvation.
also, strangely, all my friends started using weed in high school. they are all lawyers, business men, professors, and professionsals. Average net worth among them is probbably 3m. we're all about 50 now. when will our lives be ruined? been waiting 35 years for it.
Someone has the same story with coke who cares
The man who's made his living for decades fighting to keep cannabis illegal is hardly a fair person to speak on the topic. He's a propagandist with more disinformation than truth. Legalizing cannabis has been beneficial to every state that has done so.
The pot industry should have access to banking like all other businesses. That would help keep track of the money better too.
If I owned a POT SHOP, I would convert my cash into an IRA / Gold & Silver or just buy Gold & Silver.
Federal legalization is badly needed. Tax it like beer, alcohol, and baby formula. It's a win-win 🇺🇲🗽
Why was a plant considered a drug in the 1st place?
The news is supposed to be impartial so now NBC, do a news piece on the incredible potential of easing marijuana restrictions AND reclassifying the drug.
Cannabis should be removed from the controlled substance act entirely and legal to grow in every backyard on the planet. Every human, in fact every vertebrate, has an endocannabinoid system, which regulates all the other systems in our bodies providing homeostasis.
We don’t care
4 years ago I started to suffer from a miserable eye condition that left me in pain daily the only thing that helped me at all the smoking marijuana the THC is the only thing that relieved me from my pain I no longer smoke marijuana because I'm not in pain at all anymore but it was the only thing I didn't want to get addicted to narcotics I didn't want man-made pills man-made medicine or pills
Good for you to get relief & no side effects other than the munchies 😉
Most negative side effect: people will stop drinking and crashing their cars into busses loaded full of kids.
How many billions of dollars would be saved in the first year releasing everyone from jail with a (pot only) conviction and not spending money trying to bust people for possession?
The woman who didnt read the directions is his best example lol😂
Wow! Where can I purchase the Kevin Sabet Artificial Intelligence program?
Search for Nora Volkow as that might actually help!
What about all the people doing time for the sale of this drug?
this dude religiously watches Refer Madness
He sounds like the same clowns that made it illegal in the first place.
Legalize flower only. Reclassify the same as alcohol.
ask him how much the alcohol market "donates" to his cause?
If he cares about public health over profit, make him work retail for two weeks
Only negative effects are less money to big pharma, his eyebrows are a danger to humanity 😂😂😂
You can tell this guy has never smoked Cannabis a day in his life
Our society's national drug has been alcohol. If our national drug were weed, we would be a more enlightened, and less needlessly angry, people.
This is highly offensive... im a medical marijuanas patient and it saved my life .... and he calls it a "drug" its medicine you fool.
Every time l go to my local shopping center l can smell weed in the parking lot and in the stores there.
Smells Good 🤤
@@lookingglass9966 Not to me. I hate the smell.
Bruh, what year is it?
Alcohol and cigarette company's are probably against it.
Will insurance have to cover cost is the question
I never would have drank a lot of beer when I was younger if I was able to walk into a store and buy weed instead of waiting for my guy to be available
2:45 probably 100% of those people went to school; so should we also ban schools now? That argument is really weak.
Has the "expert" Kevin Sabet ever even consumed cannabis once in his life?
Be careful, he may as well happen to be an ex "expert" of failure turned drama queen, armed with a bible in one hand and his own book$ piling up on the other side...
If this guy really wants to know history, marijuana has been around the same time as alcohol. Native Americans were smoking marijuana so where is he getting at that? He himself is educated and he needs to take his own classes.
Where was all this awareness with oxy?
This guy has been bought by big tobacco & alcohol.
Please do your own research.
Decide for yourself.
soon as he said "...well" he lost credibility
Interviewer made the interviewee sound crazy
So is beer or wine a gateway drink. Does it lead to trying vodka or whiskey? Down with marijuana but lord don't mess with my alcohol. These people are such hypocrites.
Non cannabis users should legally have no say whatsoever in any cannabis affairs. Discriminatory misinformed politics which criminalize the innocent smh
This guest is so funny. Hello, DARE, I recognize you under a new name. Haha😂
I've been smoking for 14 years, never once did anything else. Stopped drinking. Never did coke. Man this guy needs a joint
dispensaries are selling food with butane in it. marijuana edibles made with BHO has residual butane. they can legally sell that? do people know they are eating butane?
Wow, this guy knows nothing and chooses to stay ignorant... Yes people need to know that smoking it is so bad for the lungs, but being able to put it in a class where we can do better further research on it is crucial!
LOL "lost depth perception"? that has literally never happened to me
It doesn't happen via ordinary smoking and we don't all react the same anyway.
@@Egzoset Well theres the problem, hes just spouting off any random thing ever reported like its common
University of Mississippi has been growing and studying marijuana for the Government for over 30 plus years. And you can get a degree in Marijuana cultivation from there also!
As someone who has used cannabis since 15 now 39 it's incredibly important in my day to day even my teachers could see it made a huge positive impact on my engagement ability to concentrate etc they would ask if I smoked that morning they also would rather deal with a cannabis user for ADHD then a person on amphetamines for ADHD. Also cannabis doesn't increase car accidents that study just came out about a month ago it also showed ur less likely to get into an accident this guy isn't doing the research and this was a peer reviewed study
NBC YOU ARE A JOKE FOR LETTING THIS GUY TALK
My brother has schizophrenia and marijuana calms him down more than his medication.
To what? schedule 3 or however much they have
No bud your absolutely not ripping us off with potency regulations.
“Possible negative effects” ignores the certainly positive effects
Decline in incarceration, price drops, people calm down, get clarity..ofc you will have to regulate yourself like we do with everything else
I smoke weed every day and I don’t feel psychotic or anything crazy like that. I just want to relax.
Fetenyl is schedule 2. Marijuana schedule 1. Please explain
I need this Super strength pot....WHATS THE NAME BRO..
Say "I get paid by the alcohol industry." without saying it lol
