Someone posted this before, but it IS a good video to watch.

It taught me where the whole "pot kills brain cells" bs comes from. Poor monkeys!

Exactly

I liked when they went to the underground grow that was in all the train cars. That shit was CRAZY.

 

[DontKnowBeans]

Yeah, it's the best documentary I've ever seen on the topic

ISN'T IT?!

The part about the study that "proved" marijuana kills brain cells SERIOUSLY needs to be seen by everyone in the world. That's like the one thing I hear the most from people who don't smoke, and ever since I saw that it was like a big HA in their faces. Like, no, pot DOESN'T kill brain cells, asphyxiation does

Grass: The history of Marijuana was a pretty good one too. But your right this one has to be the best. My fav. part had to be the covering of the lobbying organizations that lobby congress to keep Cannabis illegal. Not too many people know about the private prison system. "We have private prisons now?? What the fuck is that? That’s scary when people can make money off people going to jail." -Joe Rogan- those are some wise words

Yeah, that stunned me when I saw that. They've been saying it kills brain cells for ages and it's based on some quack's ridiculous experiment

I like how they point out that big time growers and dealers ALSO don't want to see cannabis legalized because of all the money they'd lose out on.

And I like when Joe Rogan talks about how he never tried weed because he believed the propaganda and was then pissed when he realized he had been lied to, LOL

Yeah, that stunned me when I saw that. They've been saying it kills brain cells for ages and it's based on some quack's ridiculous experiment

NO SHIT! That's such bullshit. Anyone can look at that experiment and realize it's bullshit. That's why they never tell you about the study. I seriously NEVER had any idea that THAT is where the statement came from.

Very sad

 

[DontKnowBeans]

Yeah, if it's ever legalized, I think Joe Rogan will sue them for that shit

It really is true though. I mean, before I actually smoked weed myself, I had a lot of very WRONG ideas about it, all stuffed into my head by D.A.R.E. and my school and what not.

And to think, if I had listened to them I'd be sober right now....

We should make bumper stickers that say that
