Dangers Of High Potency Cannabis For Teens

Dangers Of High Potency Cannabis For Teens

Colorado, the first state to legalize recreational marijuana, took a big step last month when the Governor signed a law putting purchase limits on the amount of high potency THC products consumers can buy. This comes after concerns they may lead to health struggles in young people.

    Bulshit there is no such thing as being addicted to marijuana



  2. @BlvlWmpower on December 16, 2023 at 2:17 am

    The news has been there for us – Been there to make every possible problem on this planet worse, constantly trying to separate Americans through endless propaganda.

    I have Afghan Landress seeds

    It’s called responsible use, and using in moderation folks.



  5. @jessedevilbiss8436 on December 16, 2023 at 2:19 am

    Don’t tell anything like this to my girlfriends 21 year old. He lives with her still and doesn’t work. His girlfriend spends her entire check on their weed. Kid never leaves the house. Smokes 24/7.
    No problem there.



  6. @kennah3140 on December 16, 2023 at 2:20 am

    I went into a psychosis because of weed vapes. Idk if it was just really strong and potent TCH or if something was mixed in with it but I’ll never do that again

    very brave woman coming out and talking about her son’s struggles so openly

  9. @msk806 on December 16, 2023 at 2:26 am

    Leave our strawberry poptarts alone.



  10. @YouTubalcaine on December 16, 2023 at 2:27 am

    Some people drink too much whiskey, but that doesn’t mean we should only allow consumers to buy beer.



  11. @charliewatson8032 on December 16, 2023 at 2:28 am

    up to 98% now



  12. @banginzaza on December 16, 2023 at 2:30 am

    Don’t xhange the law. Just have them take something else besides cannabis. Simple!



  13. @bman1117 on December 16, 2023 at 2:31 am

    The witch hunt ramps up, pathetic…



  14. @TIMSKELPER1912 on December 16, 2023 at 2:32 am

    Pish



  15. @politedemons on December 16, 2023 at 2:34 am

    such an unproductive video to make.



  16. @redbeardevildead3459 on December 16, 2023 at 2:34 am

    As soon as the big company’s jump in on it it’s gonna be like Marijuana is healthy for you now.



  17. @hothmandon on December 16, 2023 at 2:36 am

    I work around underage teens who smoke weed, I’ll just take their words for it. As long as they stay fine, I’ll be fine.



  18. @matthewlove5799 on December 16, 2023 at 2:38 am

    On Snapchat the boy said he was using Benadryl WITH using concentrates….yet on this YOUTube piece it says just weed. We don’t know if this couple has used black market concentrates…the better question is what’s going on with this kids psyche that he had to heavily medicate a combo of Benadryl and concentrates….



  19. @adrianlopez9371 on December 16, 2023 at 2:38 am

    Ever heard of CUD dsm-5



  20. @appalachian420grower5 on December 16, 2023 at 2:40 am

    Stfu legalize it



  21. @jeremyg4305 on December 16, 2023 at 2:42 am

    I guess smoking with my teenage son was not a good afterschool activity according to NBC 🙁

    Now I’m tripping balls, I actually do have a SON!?!?!



  22. @Its_Zack_559 on December 16, 2023 at 2:43 am

    Anyone else high wile watching this?



  23. @handgunful on December 16, 2023 at 2:43 am

    Oh wow just give it up



  24. @int_int_int_int_int_int_int on December 16, 2023 at 2:44 am

    Based off teens who are smoking black market products…. 😂😂😂.



  25. @louielouie9965 on December 16, 2023 at 2:46 am

    I’m a smoker for 30+ years and I do have to say one thing to the kids who are just starting out. Wait. Wait until you get to college or beyond because weed is definitely a dream killer. What once was so important in your life all of a sudden gets put on the back burner to fizzle away.



  26. @ikeabuchi1 on December 16, 2023 at 2:46 am

    I told every one for years!!! stay away immediately



  27. @jamesrlewin on December 16, 2023 at 2:47 am

    The positive side would be more pot smoking Democrats.



  28. @CageFreeLowFatSugarFreeRange on December 16, 2023 at 2:47 am

    The fear mongering is still alive and well I see. Well, maybe not so well



  29. @christophermudd7844 on December 16, 2023 at 2:49 am

    You can tell these kids were paid to lie plus kids aren’t able to purchase cannabis just like they aren’t allowed to purchase alcohol. Cannabis is here just like alcohol no matter if it’s legal or illegal.



  30. @user-rg6tq9fh9n on December 16, 2023 at 2:55 am

    It’s just pot



  31. @themilkmanishot3251 on December 16, 2023 at 2:55 am

    watching this while smoking a dab



  32. @lukelombard6140 on December 16, 2023 at 2:57 am

    The more i complained about the marijuana  and cannabis the more i be like calling your kind a real threat this is called endangerment threat from your marijuana  and cannabis . This is what u deserved for remeber this i allmist died from being poisoned  and druged i do the same to you by takeing a rope around your neck draged your life away to be treated like a child feeling death from your marijuana  and cannabis .



  33. @alexescuandrei8346 on December 16, 2023 at 3:02 am

    Fake news ,hippie weed had 10-20 thc ,



  34. @vanniyo8988 on December 16, 2023 at 3:04 am

    I’m scizophrenic and haven’t smoked weed for years. And when I became scizophrenic I wasn’t even smoking cannabis. One thing I have had was a lot of brain trauma which I feel have more contributed to being scizophrenic than cannabis has. I’ve used cannabis and other psychoactive drugs after scizophrenia and I would say for me it was therapeutic though I would have to mention try to be respectful of the drug you take. Also just because it’s therapeutic for me I don’t expect the same scenario for everyone else, just like how some people do better on a pure meat or pure plant based diet; everyone is made up differently.



  35. @samboggs3499 on December 16, 2023 at 3:04 am

    I agree, kids should not consume cannabis.



  36. @arbysbeefncheddar3421 on December 16, 2023 at 3:05 am

    If you’re a teen with little experience being a smoker then you shouldn’t be doing 90% thc extracts.

    Then again it’s no different from some dumb jock pounding down 2 liters of whiskey either.



  37. @geniushughes8287 on December 16, 2023 at 3:06 am

    It’s not the marijuana that is dangerous it’s what they put on the marijuana and what they lace in the marijuana that is dangerous cousin the schizophrenic paranoia problems enter cause extreme addictions



  38. @dragonballz010 on December 16, 2023 at 3:06 am

    Monitor liquor too



  39. @rrkk44nnmm on December 16, 2023 at 3:07 am

    In other news, too much of anything is probably not good for you….



  40. @grod805 on December 16, 2023 at 3:07 am

    High potency Marijuana messed me up for years. I hope one day I can go back to how I was. What these weed manufacturers are doing is criminal



  41. @paludariumjunky on December 16, 2023 at 3:09 am

    This is nothing like i’ve experienced. I live in oregon and consumed all this. I’m a union employee and my attendance is so good i have 558 hours of sick leave built up. It’s all about your normal behavior. I’m a very active person and naturally lazy people consuming weed give it a bad name.



  42. @yeti3601 on December 16, 2023 at 3:09 am

    Me being 17 watching this while smoking a joint 💀



  43. @tsunika26 on December 16, 2023 at 3:09 am

    I’m just gonna stick to my hippie weed 😂



  44. @deantandeski6776 on December 16, 2023 at 3:09 am

    Once this becomes accepted like soda, I think you will see less use. First schizophrenia scare ever in my 50 years.



  45. @legitreviews1 on December 16, 2023 at 3:11 am

    Everyone who thinks pot isn’t addictive is in denial. Early stages of it as a society. Once things settle down and its legal everywhere on earth, people will start using low potency 1:1 strains, and a lot more people will use cbd. Just a matter of time.



  46. @samboggs3499 on December 16, 2023 at 3:12 am

    2 to 5% thc?. Sounds like super crappy dirt weed.



  47. @dlobrown3673 on December 16, 2023 at 3:13 am

    Lol. Hahahahhh ahhhhh hahahahahah



  48. @victoryrose4300 on December 16, 2023 at 3:13 am

    I love how they talk about cannabis being the overall problem, and specifically THC, they then mention medical marijuana, but don’t mention that medical marijuana is high in CBD hahaha



  49. @brianmoore8507 on December 16, 2023 at 3:14 am

    In NJ legalization has actually ruined the market. Even the medical dispensaries only carry high potency strains. Minimum of 14% THCA and only trace amounts of CBD. For most patients CBD or at least a balance of THC:CBD is where the real medical relief comes from.



  50. @n12862 on December 16, 2023 at 3:15 am

    This is true I used cannabis as a teen it does have the potential to cause mental problems.
