    It’s wild you can drink yourself sick and end up hurting others but if you smoke alittle weed you are a sinner. Strange world
  • @albadude1922
    8 years later we still haven’t legalised it fully.
  • Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, alcoholism, 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.
  • I shed a tear when it showed the single father. He has such a good heart and didn’t want those pain pills and just wants to live. He just wants to be a good dad. I feel ya buddy ❤

    PROHIBITION DOES NOTHING BUT MAKE MORE JOBS FOR THE POLICE STATE
  • @rascaltuff
    14 years in prison? and I just got weed delivered to my door. smfh. and there’s a dispensary on literally every corner in my city. and there’s STILL people in prison for years on bullshit charges for a plant that greatly improves so many lives.

    I’m a medical cannabis patient it’s legal on private prescription but costs a lot. I can’t afford the amount and the strains I need. It’s legal if you’re rich. Illegal if you’re poor. Growers get arrested if they are poor and get lots of profits if they are rich and well connected. Yet I’m prescribed opiates regularly and have been for over ten years! I was offered fentanyl on a recent hospital visit yet cannabis would have helped me enough. How many people die from fentanyl a year? No one ever died from cannabis

    Vice is just re-running old episodes in an attempt to keep ad-revenue and the brand alive. This is from 2016... 8 years ago. They should have stayed true to the mission.
  • I feel like giving out seeds is a much better idea than releasing baloons...
  • @brianallen858
    My grandfather my mother my father all died from Cancer, my brother has stage 4 lung cancer not one of them would have entertained this kind of stuff, but I'll welcome it with open arms when my time comes ❤
  • UK cannabis laws are quirky, to say the least. It is perfectly legal to buy cannabis seeds from a weed paraphernalia shop on any UK high street, yet those seeds can only be sold as "souvenirs", about which buyers must NOT discuss growing with the seed sellers. IT is time for the UK to follow the lead of Holland, Germany, and other EU countries that have legalized cannabis and thereby opened up a multi-million-pound industry.
  • Damn it’s to early in the morning to be watchin this man talk about his mom I damn near cried hearing that story especially since I lost my mom to cancer 😢
  • @doomepic
    So you can be forced to be sent to war but you cannot smoke non-lethal substances? Wow.
  • @UncleBuZ
    the UK's illicit cannabis market is worth approximately £2.5 billion annually. If cannabis were legalized, tax revenues alone could exceed £1 billion per year, with additional savings to public services amounting to at least £300 million annually​
  • The Human Body has an Endocabinoid system, cannibus has Cabinoids ,the two are a link to healing

    why is dude wearing a gas mask without a filter in the thumbnail tho
  • For anyone wanting to do Hidrows extraction method its really easy: 1. Place both your trimmings/bud (whatever material you are using) and your Extraction medium (I use food grade Ethanol)into the freezer to get as cold as possible. 2. Once both sufficiently cold (look for 4-8 hours minimum cooling time) place both in a container. 3. Shake/Mix the mixture for 10 seconds (You can do multiple runs so dont worry about not shaking enough, being too rough will cause more chlorophyll to be extracted). 4. Using a filtering method, I use cotton placed between two coffee filter sheets inside a metal Sive. Pour your mixture through, do not press down on the material to force more liquid out on first or second run to minimise chrlorophyll extraction. 5. Pour you filtered liquid into a water Distiller. (These are very cheap nowa days) 6. Ensure you know how much liquid is placed into the distiller so you can stop the distillation at 85% distilled. 7. Once 85% of alcohol is extracted, turn off the distiller and leave to cool. 8. Setup a double boiler on stove if you have an indoor extractor fan above your cooker, or alternatively use a hotplate outside. Remember that alcohol vapour is flammable so try to ensure you dont set yourself or others on fire. 9. If you can use a heat source to extract then place your mixture near an open window for a day or two. 10. After heat/time evaporation of remaining alcohol, use the end of a spoon or other metallic object to scoop a little and then away from the mixture bowl apply a heat source such as a lighter. If the material sparks or set alight then it needs more evaporation time. If not then Well done you now have a pure oil. Extra Tips: If you extract before placing in your distiller is very green or even just a hint of green you cna use a strong light to break down the chlorophyll easily. Just leave under a light untill all the green has been removed, please place a lid on your container so not alcohol evaporates. This oil itself is best used for edibles and such, I personally create my own vape juice using terps for custom flavours. My most recent one is a Trpoical Lemon CHerry flavour :D

    The syringe with black stuff is called RSO. It's extremely safe to make. Don't listen to this show. Just heat flower to 240F for 30 minutes. Then soak in Everclear for 1-2 days. Then sit in a shallow dish over night and it'll all evaporate. Use a germination pad under it with a fan blowing over the top. No hot plate needed. 1 ounce of premium flower will produce 5-7 mL of RSO. ❤
