He's just against vice
No not at all. Like foliage trees said I'm aginst vice. Ever since they got bought out they only produce shit. Their mj content is half way ok but they're not the same "news" source they once were.
Point in case

I really liked it, I saw the trailer a while ago and have been waiting eagerly for the show.
I thought the stoned picnic was a bit much, like I can imagine being prepared to try anything to make my kids better, and I'd prefer the weed treatment to the horribly invasive traditional Western treatments, but I can't imagine that I would then think it'd be a good idea to get stoned with them! Like, I smoke weed, and I'd treat my kids with it if it came to it, but not together!
I thought it was really well put together as a show and I'd recommend to anybody that they watch it.

The problem is thinking theyre a source for your news. They started as a magazine that did tge same garbage back in the day I believe, counter culture "edgy" articles. So I feel the same. But to dismiss EVERYTHING they do based on a pre conceived notion is narrow minded. Their weed documentaries seem to be their more tolerable stuff.

I've seen a lot of their stuff since discovering the YouTube channel a while ago, and they make some really good documentaries. Unfortunately, they also make a lot of rubbish! I can only talk about the channel, I've no experience of whatever else they do. I guess it's all subjective, but that article that Gmack420 posted, well that's just shit!
except for the fact that the guy SAT on the fence right till the end...
We know this works...others are not informed enough to understand the whole deal.

There are too many people who swear up and down by mj as a cancer treatment. Clearly there's something to it and it obviously works at least to some degree.
Yeah, I have a three year old and it would be pretty weird to see him high as a kite.. But I'd rather see him high than dead.

That's the part the moron sat on the fence about..
Your kid wouldn't have to GET HIGH..and that's exactly what I'm referring to with people not knowing.
Even the little kids talk about it yet the people don't hear what they say...
and its also the reason why I don't bother saying it again...
if you have to go this route...you learn..
..the others just spout off about what they think...and don't know

Vice news. They styled themselves as a counter culture news source. Yes they've always done the odd fluff piece. Now it's 99% bullshit and the odd ok story. If you read/watch vices on going marijuana news coverage it becomes really clear they don't care what's written/recorded as long as it's about drugs they will publish it simple for views/clicks. This is intensified since they got bought out. Everything vice covers is now covered far better by other regular news outlets without the added horseshit clickbait. Even this video cnn covered virtually the same content far better IMO.

i would hate to see the same. we shouldn't be getting kids wasted but we should be using it to treat stuff.
I'd prefer seeing a kid high on weed then dead from a medical condition. Don't forget kids build up tolerances to the high just as we do. Not saying we should be giving it to them for any minor medical condition but if it's warranted give it to them no moral bullshit Chris Christie type nonsense.

But on the other hand...
I certainly used pot and hard drugs long before my brain was fully developed. And I don't feel spaced out, I don't have trouble learning. Had a 78 average in high school even though I barely did homework and skipped about three classes a week.
Though it would probably be harsher on a toddlers brain than a 13-14 year olds. I'm not a doctor but I think a lot of it is fear mongering still. People smoke during pregnancy and have intelligent, bright children.
We need some unbiased, REAL studies done.

i agree completely.
we wouldn't give our kids enough booze to get wasted so don't do the same with MJ.
if you need it as medicine, titrate up the doseage instead of saying "here try a .25 gr" that would send a 25 lb body to the moon!
