    for those who get arrested , we have to look at the situation not just race , driving around with weed isn’t a good idea.

    I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13:5)
    But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. (Isaiah 64:6)
    As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. (Romans 3:10-12)

  22. Dakota Loven on May 15, 2022 at 6:54 pm

    This interests me even before I started smoking weed I’ve always been one of “those types” you know the type that is fascinated by the first people to ever do a thing like for example weed who was the first MF to get HIIIIIIIIGH as balls AND more fascinating how did he get high? We talking pipe? (Honestly most likely answer) did he roll one out? Take a massive bong hit and what munchies did he eat? Or even was it actually a he? Maybe the first stoner was a woman

    Awesome documentary. Crazy to hear all this history about it.



  37. Shaun Kirk on May 15, 2022 at 7:11 pm

    Just imagine how many trades hemp/cannabis would wipe out.

  39. Shaun Kirk on May 15, 2022 at 7:13 pm

    Cannabis instead of the man made pills for my BPD I can get on with my life working etc under the influence of cannabis. I take the venlafaxine that the Dr gives me and become a zombie zoning out the world. Cannabis is a MEDICINE.

    not a rapist…. Horny..definitely.. but not a rapist. I’m a giver not a taker..



  41. Alex Abood on May 15, 2022 at 7:16 pm

    I had no idea the ancients were so stoned



  42. DeeTwo DCS on May 15, 2022 at 7:16 pm

    No wonder why people think acupuncture works to this day. It probably really worked back when they used cannabis since it has anti-inflammatory properties but when they took it out and the belief it still works made it more of a placebo today if you ask me.



  43. Sriyan Srinivasa on May 15, 2022 at 7:18 pm

    watching this shit high asf all i can say is thank you



  44. Hassan Hussain on May 15, 2022 at 7:19 pm

    If I could get it prescribed for me in doses it would be awesome whenever I get weed now I just smoke it till my eyes bleed



  45. unusualartist on May 15, 2022 at 7:22 pm

    Got diagnosed with epilepsy in 2015. Used meds seizures occurred once a week. Used weed and seizures gradually happend less. So it worked for me. Got locked up in 2016. Was charged with in Possession of cannabis. Few months later it was legalized in my country. Because of cannabis I can go and work and provide for my family. Thank you for making this video.



  46. GeaRed Weird on May 15, 2022 at 7:23 pm

    Someone needs to get this to Joe Rogan.!! Seriously….Will get MAD VIEWS.



  47. Matthew on May 15, 2022 at 7:23 pm

    Jesus healed because He is God, not because of a plant. He spoke the word and the person or persons were immediately healed. He is God, he doesn’t need a plant…



  48. Ivan Rozales on May 15, 2022 at 7:23 pm

    Not based on any science, but i feel like cannabis unlocks the brains/body ability to heal itself. I tore my Achilles tendon last year and the typical recovery period is 6 months if lucky. I would smoke while bed prone and i could feel my body working to fix itself almost like it was concentrating resources to the injury( I went the no surgery route). Needless to say on my 3 week check up my doctor said he could feel my Achilles being attached again and I could begin to put weight on it again. He told me I probably tore my plantaris tendon and was misdiagnosed by the ER doctors but all test performed on me including x-ray, ultrasound and Thompson test all showed complete tear.



  49. Captiiva on May 15, 2022 at 7:24 pm

    Yo Bro… You got any of that "Scythian Fire" left?

    My torch is getting a lil low if ya know what I’m saying…



  50. Kris Brown on May 15, 2022 at 7:24 pm

    A racist view. Considering whites came to Africa to destroy cannabis history
