As a karate practitioner, I found that quite funny. I love his dazed and confused look after essentially smacking himself upside the head with a board.
Pot increases chance of seizures,it kills brain cells,it kills your motivation to work,and it makes you an idiot.Yes I have gotten high in my life on multiple occasions,and I still think it’s no good.If you want a painkiller,take Tylenol,if you want to relax,take deep breaths and do something you enjoy,it’s that simple.And while pot is not as bad as some other drugs such as heroine or ecstasy.it’s still bad for you.Anyway about the video,that was pretty funny:)
“it kills your motivation to work” My boss kills my motivation to work. Conversely, when I’ve smoked weed at work, I’ve been more focused and stayed late to get the job done.
“it makes you an idiot” Nah, you’re just born that way. I smoke weed daily and people frequently call me a genius.
“If you want a painkiller,take Tylenol,if you want to relax,take deep breaths and do something you enjoy” If I want a painkiller, I go for Advil. If I want to relax, focused breathing works better. If I want to get high… well, then I smoke weed. Speaking of things that I enjoy, I really enjoy making my own decisions.
Well I think the most sensible way of debating drugs is to present both sides of the story. Simply saying “ITS BAD, THE END” is the wrong way.
What would be an interesting discussion is why people decide to experiment with drugs in the first place. Social reasons? Curiosity? To look cool? To use it as a crutch/escape from reality?
Off the top of my head here is essentially what cannabis does from a scientific point of view:
As far as I know cannabis screws around with the neurotransmitter dopamine which is the “HAPPY DRUG” of the body, it is very closely connected with the bodys reward center. When you do anything pleasurable its this chemical Dopamine that makes u feel good. Naturally dopamine will be re-absorbed by the body and eventually the feeling of pleasure will wane. The danger with a drug like cannabis is that it not only drastically increases the dopamine levels but it blocks the re-uptake of dopamine keeping it in the body for longer. The feeling is reportedly 100 times more intense/pleasurable than an orgasm (snicker ).
There is also evidence that if you take cannabis enough times then you will start to hear voices. It has been theorised that every “normal” person hears some kind of voice but the brain knows how to control and not to pay 2 much attn to them. Cannabis may interfere with this ability.
There is also anecdotal evidence that cannabis can lead to psychosis such as schizophrena.
Cannabis has never effected my ability to break bricks with my fist or boards. But watching this I was expecting some smoke to come out of his lungs and cause him to cough or something like that at the beginning. I have seen people hurt themselves on boards who didn’t do drugs.
Take cannabis off the illegal substance list! Just like absenth!
I was watching it and thought.. “Hey… that’s Thunder from Big Trouble in Little China”
But I have to agree that there are alot of theories associated with Cannabis. Most of it is from the Anti-Drug people when they turn out to be very rare occurrences. It’s usually the people doing it that can give you a truthful response to what it does to you.
I don’t smoke it myself. I don’t have problems with people who smoke it. I just don’t want to be smelling you smoking it while I’m in my house. Oh.. and if you’re going to go out after smoking it, take a shower and put on clean clothes… I swear, those guys who don’t do that when they go out are being singled out as the poster child for Pot smokers everywhere.
@Brian Duff… I am going to have to disagree with you on that one old man. Yes experience of something can help researchers but ultimatly what you are asserting is that the most valuable research can be gained from “subjective” experience. This COMPLETELY goes against the scientific method. If research is carried out openly, critically and “OBJECTIVLY” then of course we can find out much more accuratly what is really going on.
High for a night, slow for a month? I don’t know what kind of weed these guys are smoking, if it’s weed at all, but when I get high several hours later or after I wake up I’m brand new again.
My friends smoke pot. They’re they’re in Max’s garage right now…I mean it, I’m serious, and believe me when I say that they’re there now, smoking pot. Or they’re about to, or they just finished. Max works at 7/11, and he spends his days asking what everybody wants to do. He was in my high school graduating class, and unless things change his life has peaked at 19.
There’s some people here that need to educate themselves. Is it you? Find out.
Not even the worst inaccurate claims by these stupid commercials warrant making marijuana illegal. We’re wasting literally billions of dollars in the US on this stupidity. Let us not forget the positive applications for marijuana.
most of the argument in favor of legalizing pot just comes from people who want to smoke it. But how can we take them seriously if they don’t respect the law?
Wth…
I was soo not expecting that.
But pot’s a painkiller, so…?
Funny, but inaccurate. This war against pot needs to stop.
(never gotten high in my life)
No good together? That was great!
(have gotten high in my life)
(Lots)
(well… maybe not lots, but enough)
(OK, fine lots….)

“Pot increases chance of seizures”
I had seizures a lot as a kid. I haven’t had one since I started smoking weed 17 years ago.
“it kills brain cells”
Most things do. On the plus side, weed’s been shown to kill cancerous cells too. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070417193338.htm

So…the question all us pot newbs have on our minds: Does it taste like lawn?
LOL

I don’t like marijuana very much.
@Scott, Yes, but after the dog left a few “logs” on it.
There’s some people here that need to educate themselves. Is it you? Find out.

pot sucks. try Jenkem!
most of the argument in favor of legalizing pot just comes from people who want to smoke it. But how can we take them seriously if they don’t respect the law?
i just realized that was poorly worded, I mean people who currrently illegally smoke it but don’t want the law to come down on them.
Or people who legally smoke it and still don’t want the law to come down on them.
But no, I know a lot of people who don’t smoke marijuana who would like to see it legalized. (including myself)
@TomA:
I hope for you that you also dont use alcohol then.
Funny video.
Grr… I saw that PSA years ago, and found it as offensive as I find it today.
Slow for a month ? Right, that how you get kids off drugs. Buy lying to them. Don’t forget, your pot buying is what financed 9/11 !!
I meant “by”, not “buy”, of course.
