    I think the science lady is actually a science guy. A transgender bender. A guy in drag. A ladyboy

    Thc oil in marijuana helps reduce tumors when taken multiple times either in tea or cooking with it.

    Yes marijuana is addictive whoever says other wise is a moron.

    And personally for me after quitting weed my memory has sky rocketed and dreams have become crazy vivid and I remember most of the dreams which before I never remembered a single dream even tho we all dream just depends on remembering it.



  3. Matt on April 27, 2023 at 11:48 am

    Indica puts you indacouch, sativa doesn’t do anything.

    Thoth Atlantean Priest King ruled over the Land of Ancient Kemet for 14K years.
    Took Cannabis CBD oil for medicinal use, which makes you think that the Study & Research of Cannabis would have been BEYOND today’s standards. 👁️🕳️🌍🌎🌏👑👑🧬🧬

    I smoke weed everyday, but this video’s pro-weed agenda is pretty shameless lol.



  6. True Review on April 27, 2023 at 11:52 am

    not as much as you think….at least not anymore….everything is all cross hybrid



  7. Warren D on April 27, 2023 at 11:53 am

    There is no difference! 😊



  8. Matthew Gower on April 27, 2023 at 11:54 am

    Ah a scientist, im sure plenty of useful and fascinating information will be shared here



  9. Kat Che on April 27, 2023 at 11:55 am

    I need to watch this every week to because I’ll forget this all by then



  10. Sheena Martin on April 27, 2023 at 11:58 am

    Please consider comparing the experiences of someone who has orally ingested LARGE amounts of cannabis with what some call an "ego death" in the psychedelic realm.
    ❤️
    They seem awfully similar to me, enough so that it’s classification to meet your definition would change in extreme doses, especially orally taken. ❤️



  11. Marcus Brown on April 27, 2023 at 11:58 am

    I also do science with cannabis



  12. justin bell on April 27, 2023 at 11:58 am

    Also of note… the FDA does not and can not regulate botanical medications, their preview is for pharmaceutical medications and other isolated compounds generally created through chemistry in a lab.

    Cannabis, in its natural form, is a botanical medication, in that all of its medicinal properties are found in the natural state of the plant which were developed through evolution in nature… with some human intervention via selective breeding…

    It’s a very real legal conundrum that befuddles attempts to change Cannabis’s current regulatory status, so when you here folks say “the FDA should just regulate it..”, unfortunately that’s not possible!



  13. abby on April 27, 2023 at 11:59 am

    She looks high in the thumbnail lol



  14. Alicia Forbes on April 27, 2023 at 12:00 pm

    I completely lost my appetite after getting Covid, and lost 40 lbs within a 6 month period (that I didn’t want to lose)…. Cannabis is the only thing that has helped me get my appetite back.



  15. paul d sheppard on April 27, 2023 at 12:01 pm

    Great video 👍



  16. Kaleb Morris on April 27, 2023 at 12:02 pm

    PLEASE DO MORE CANNABIS VIDEOS



  17. Just Chilling on April 27, 2023 at 12:03 pm

    Weed def can be a psyche



  18. youShouldntWorryAboutIt on April 27, 2023 at 12:04 pm

    6:20 incorrect trichomes are found on both male and female plants just a lot less on male plants than female since females are the ones that produce resinous buds. males produces trichomes just in very small amounts usually on the stem. That’s why world wide male plants are also used for extracts such as hashish which is a tar like substance of up to 45% thc max



  19. Mason T on April 27, 2023 at 12:05 pm

    daily smoker here, i dream everytime i sleep and i can control/remember them when i go to sleep



  20. mike odonnell on April 27, 2023 at 12:06 pm

    is weeds bees legals?



  21. Jew Fierros on April 27, 2023 at 12:07 pm

    I am in love😅



  22. Mellow Yellow on April 27, 2023 at 12:11 pm

    It’s a shame she isn’t smoking while doing this. This is weed conversation



  23. Walters Street on April 27, 2023 at 12:12 pm

    Very informative 👏



  24. Denisse Espinoza on April 27, 2023 at 12:13 pm

    So which is more potent, resin, live resin, rosin? ✌🏼💖



  25. cloudcyclone on April 27, 2023 at 12:15 pm

    idk about saying weed isnt psychedelic too, if you smoke a lot real fast your normal vision will go out and you will see patterns and colors something like a 10-20% visual levels compared to a single acid dose, but only for like 20min-1hr tops. It doesnt really feel good and you cannot stand up and stuff oof! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS!



  26. youShouldntWorryAboutIt on April 27, 2023 at 12:16 pm

    weed in fact can get over 30% yes over the 30 mark is a stretch and an achievement but it is possible 100%



  27. Julian_david on April 27, 2023 at 12:16 pm

    I’m glad she said sativa/indica is all relative or in your head. There’s no real difference other than how the plant grows short bush in colder climates and tall airy sativa



  28. James Del Rogers on April 27, 2023 at 12:17 pm

    Mushrooms have a molecule that binds to the saratonin receptor sides , If there is one species of forty That have a very small amount of this compound They’re called liberty caps and they don’t make you laugh , If maybe something is similar is present in cannabis Going to depend on the Stran



  29. Gi Nattak on April 27, 2023 at 12:19 pm

    The difference is one makes me wanna eat and go to sleep, while the other makes me wanna go outside and do stuff.



  30. Carla Cadena on April 27, 2023 at 12:20 pm

    I’d like to hear more about the first answer. Yes, it might be necessary for people with certain patholoies (still THC & CBD, well, are different things and different molecules). Smoking or consuming weed surely might be better than drinking everyday yet it doesn’t mean it should be done on a regular basis as a healthy person, does it?



  31. Jason Widelitz on April 27, 2023 at 12:21 pm

    so to clarify. The Weed expert said "no CBD is basically fake"



  32. Milton Tohd on April 27, 2023 at 12:23 pm

    I love this scientist. Is she dating anyone????



  33. Astral on April 27, 2023 at 12:25 pm

    Trichomes are made on male flowers as well, and theres different types afaik she might know something I don’t ive grown some though, including males and they def have trichomes on what looks like the caylx and can on leaves and stem as do female plants. Leaves themselves will also get you super high if you heat them and cook them found that out the hard way lol



  34. Sirroneous Skateboarding on April 27, 2023 at 12:26 pm

    1ofthemhasactualwhiteskinfromthemilitaryandwasbornintoahouseincalifornia



  35. Daniel J. Robinson on April 27, 2023 at 12:29 pm

    So, is this more about fake marijuana?



  36. Joe Mac on April 27, 2023 at 12:30 pm

    Them Doritos be hittin though😂



  37. based on a true story on April 27, 2023 at 12:31 pm

    Wired consistently posting the most impossible to navigate videos ever. 6:45 if you came for the thumbnail question.



  38. Daniel J. Robinson on April 27, 2023 at 12:31 pm

    How do you spell "horribly offensive"?



  39. C on April 27, 2023 at 12:31 pm

    Indica gets me stoned. Sativa does nothing but a buzz.
    Indica wins all day in my book



  40. Patrick Barrow on April 27, 2023 at 12:32 pm

    Dang, I wish she’d elaborated a bit more on most of these answers.



  41. MotoMatt on April 27, 2023 at 12:32 pm

    So… What’s up with hyperemesis cannabinoid syndrome?



  42. Von Draic on April 27, 2023 at 12:33 pm

    I wish she gave information concerning brain damage and how cannabis might affect I.Q., I would think these would be common questions.



  43. Kenny Bobby on April 27, 2023 at 12:35 pm

    The dankiest sticky icky says the smart scientist lady



  44. Bean Brewer on April 27, 2023 at 12:36 pm

    All stains are Sativa if you don’t wimp out



  45. Abernathy Rah on April 27, 2023 at 12:37 pm

    I dont dream anymore, always figured it was due to going to bed stoned



  46. Oscar Lopez on April 27, 2023 at 12:37 pm

  47. Roc Muzik on April 27, 2023 at 12:42 pm

  48. Ron Hooft on April 27, 2023 at 12:43 pm

    For once, someone in the US is telling the absolute truth about cannabis. lol… Gotta love it. 😉



  49. Jim Bob on April 27, 2023 at 12:43 pm

  50. Gilbert Alejandro on April 27, 2023 at 12:44 pm
