    I’m sure you felt like you put out a segment that to you and people who don’t use…. And yeah it’s obvious the perspective you took on the matter clearly states your not a smoker n possibly have never really sought to be even if you have dabbled here n there .. but what your segment has done has added to the stigma’s and people who already don’t know about a 1000% more than the 110% they think they know in anything cannabis/marijuana related… And now you’ve made a potency lvl of 25% or higher even up into the 30’s I believe you showed as a target area for people to believe now at those lvls they need to have something to worry about which could even end up landing them in the ER…. People like you are definitively problematic even when you think your doing good… Next time you have a good idea for a segment that might boost your ratings do what 90% of the world right now needs to do with sharing their opinions and just shut your mouth so you dont worsen or screw things up for the rest of us that aren’t you and see things the way you do…
    30% isn’t really that much and often if that’s the type effects your looking for for certain things you may be involved in like Netflix n chill… That range if your a regular smoker is a lvl that you’d definitely want to have… Being a usual smoker… If your wanting to go out and workout run some errands or maybe get some work done in the yard then it’s probably pretty obvious as an adult and someone who’s taking your own choices and effects of those choices into play… Then you don’t go getting ripped out your gourd on something intended for a way different scenario and blame the weed it’s potency or the fact that you might have slightly over done it on a strain twice the potency you should be smoking at your lvl and lvl of comfort to begin with… That’s not the plant that’s dumb people doin what dumb people do on a regular basis and as they’re running through life hitting every wall placed in front of them possible they accidentally hit the one with a stronger weed dose the normal so now they’re acting a complete fool for no reason…
    But that’s never happened on say alcohol or hundreds of other pharmaceuticals ever… Let’s make sure people know weed can be dangerous because 5 Valium to many is highly more acceptable and tolerable than a plant people choose to use and until recently in the last decade +/- they haven’t even been able to fully understand due to laws by our government saying they can’t while they secretly held parents of chemical compounds within the plant and furthered their understanding the entire time ..

    Be better than that don’t be part of the problem for a segment when other people’s lives are surrounded by this plant for more than just recreational usage and the fun of getting baked out your gourd

    Lmao Marijuana over dose? No no no. Anxiety act up not over dose dip shits…

    The THC content is getting higher but the effects are getting weaker. Everyone is always talking about how the weed is stronger today, but the top shelf stuff you get at the dispensary is far weaker than the stuff you used to get on the street before medical Marijuana. It’s not just the THC content, it’s the combination of all the cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids in the plant. Weed has been dirt since medical marijuana, they create it to treat certain illnesses and trump down the psychoactive effects, THC is relatively weak without the presence of these other chemicals. They make THC isolate and it’s pathetic, it doesn’t feel like weed. They make it weak and expensive and then you have to buy more, because it’s garbage. It’s a big scam. For someone who smokes regularly, they need not worry about weed being too strong, because we can’t even catch a buzz with this shit. They make all these exotic aromatic flavors, but the homegrown that smells like plain weed that you got from your buddy gets you wrecked. Marijuana users don’t need people that don’t smoke or havn’t smoked since the 60’s telling us how strong our pot should be. It needs to be stronger, the high is the primary medical use as benifit, and just because it gets you high and makes you feel better doesn’t mean it should be regulated. There’s not a war on drugs, there’s a war on euphoria.

    I am 52 years old. I spent most of my life getting high and drunk. I got into a lot of legal trouble. Then, LSD and DXM opened my eyes to a greater reality than what just meets the eye. Because of that, I became a Christian. I stopped drugs and alcohol. I had a secular course in high school on the major world religions. The only religion that says that we need a perfect, sinless sacrifice to die and rise from the dead, conquering death is Christianity. It was only God in human form (God incarnate, named Jesus Christ) that died for our sins (crimes) on the cross and rose again and ascended into Heaven. All we have to do is believe and have faith in Jesus saving us from Hell and letting us into Heaven. Just pray: "God, forgive me of my sins. Jesus, come into my heart, I make you my Lord and savior." For example, I beat up my mother when I was drunk (I don’t remember doing it). It is amazing to think that I could simply pray to God for forgiveness of that and he looks at me like I never did it.

    Jc will sell sum THC when y’all ask nicely



  13. rb mh on February 12, 2023 at 10:54 pm

    Same as Drinking Alchol, You can Drink Strong Vodka or Beer Vodka is stronger than beer. Many Diffrent Types and Strength is THC in Herb. Enjoy.

    I’m watching this again after a year and it’s still funny asf!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
    Back in early 2000 the best hydro was produced and to this day I still haven’t found one that could even come close. Most of the bud is trash these days. And the look isn’t even the same, buds as big as my forearm and crystals poppin on every curve. Not today tho, you might find frosty leaves but nothing like the old school hydro.

  16. William Jericho on February 12, 2023 at 10:56 pm

    Feeling like you’re going to die and actually overdosing are two different things that women should not have been able to say that on TV and get away with it those were not facts in the slightest



  17. tim kahn on February 12, 2023 at 10:58 pm

    i dont know i got some in jamaca before i was sent to viet nam. its still the best and most powerful i ever smoked. when i can back from viet nam i brought some and it was i would say half as strong. one time i picked up two hitchers and we smoked a little before going into a place for food. and one guy had passed out in the car and the other one fell straight down on the ground the first step out of the car. i brought them both a slice of pie when i came back. but they had to wait to eat it. that was back in the early 70,s.

    Anxiety or panic attack. ….. Next time stay away from the 20 plus per cent THC strains n try 5-8per cent🌚….. Heard about this occuring every Winter… OG stoners from last millenium not understanding todays strains are 10 fold stronger in some circumstances… Lucky, theres an ER down the road….🌚



  24. Tre Revilo on February 12, 2023 at 11:08 pm

    This was an extremely awkward production… A wild attempt to inject some scary hype about THC levels that have NEVER killed anyone. Worse is blindly pretending people don’t get drunk by drinking too much alcohol. You can either hold your liquor or you can’t. You can either handle standard thc% or you can’t.

    Nice try at sensationalizing.

    rip off thc



  29. Caleb Thomas on February 12, 2023 at 11:13 pm

    25% that’s B shelf. Ah 6 years ago makes sense, So i have witnessed people "overdose" on marijuana the people that smoke dabs, wax, live resin, etc. for the 1st time. I have been smoking for 10 years, I’m 23 now. yep that’s right, started at 13 and I live in Tennessee but we’ll never legalize.
    My state tells residents to move where its legal, if the people actually did what my state suggest. I guarantee Tennessee’s WORK FORCE/ECONOMY would take the biggest blow. From my own personal experience I’ve only seen people puke after smoking reclaim which is just the left behind residue with different properties considering its been smoked already and the heat changed its structure a little bit, I don’t think anyone has died except for people that were allergic to it and found out too late.
    Its important for marijuana to be legal everywhere so kids wont end up buying weed that’s been dusted with ajax, or fentanyl. I wanna be a dealer to protect my community from people that would sell you or your kids laced marijuana because you decided to get a front and owe this shady character money.
    There is a saying "you can lead a horse to water, but you cant make it drink the water" , you can sit down with your kids and talk to them about this sorta stuff. For me growing up through school marijuana kept me calm, and focused sometimes. A lot of the time Id just sleep at my desk…
    Because we didn’t have dispensaries growing up, I probably smoked more indica than sativa. Sativa in my opinion can be used as an alternative to Adderall, allowing your brain to think and get creative, as to where Indica can be used as a night time sedative for those kids that stay up all night due to their racing minds from all the stress being a kid has to offer.
    As you get older with age, the Endocannabinoid system degrades resulting in the need of stronger THC strains or the need to smoke more weed. My preferred way to consume marijuana is by smoking it, bet you couldn’t guess that. Just know that ALL types of smoke is bad for you, smoke inherently has carcinogens. Carcinogens have been linked to cancers. If you want to consume cannabis safely, eat the edibles. And make sure you get tested for the possibility of being allergic to marijuana.

    There’s a difference between feeling like your going to die because of fear and actually dying from over use of something fear Campaigns man lol



  41. Cantgtrite87 on February 12, 2023 at 11:23 pm

    🧢 its no damn .6 % nationwide



  42. John Hock on February 12, 2023 at 11:24 pm

    The first strain they mentioned in this piece was Canna-Tsu which averages at 5% THC and 9% CBD. It’s a truly balanced strain and a testament to all the GOOD strains breeders have created, not just the "Send-ya-to-Jupiter" strains their story’s about. Canna-Tsu is the type of stuff you’d want to give your Grandma if you introduced her to pot. This piece only reports on the breeders trying to surpass like 30 fuckin percent THC, and it completely ignores the guys who care about the herb enough to breed back in the other cannabinoids and the right terpene profiles. The cannabis community needs to stop worshipping only the THC in weed. There’s many molecules involved in getting you stoned and/or relief, and THC isnt the only one. Try some 2:1 strains if you don’t believe me – the entourage effect is real as fuck.



  43. James Stone on February 12, 2023 at 11:25 pm
