I take full responsibility for the puns (‘twas no joint decision :). Anyone care to count? How many did I make it up to?

I’ve been using marijuana for canker sores and it works really well, smoke dries it out, then actually kills the pain it doesn’t just numb it for a minute, then it starts going away with each day
Wow Doc! You really ROLLED out those puns. XD
Great intro! I love the puns
Wow, this was the punniest video I’ve ever seen. I mean, he just kept ’em coming… Awesome! Hilarious
Oh my lord the first 50 seconds must be the bigest density of puns i have ever experienced
A thing of the past will be big pharma wich is only 130 years old.
Cannabis has thousends if not millions of years,
and its clearly not going away.
Same old reefer madness. Studies that cannabis might harm you in the future based on opinions rather then facts. 20 Years of recorded medical use of cannabis in Canada has shown these "opinions" studies to be moronic.
dr Gregor goes IN on those puns. Nothing held back. Pure merciless rapid fire pun after pun…
Carry on with The Bull
His use of so many puns making light work out of such research topics says a lot about Dr. Greger’s intelligence and smarts!
0 to 100 puns in under 60 seconds 😂😂😂
What’s with vaping cbd oil in e cigarettes, please make a video on this
He’s making a fucking joke of marijuana.
OMG LMAO
It’s sad how research Seems to always be worded in a way that promotes the agenda of those whom fund it…..I think all hard data should be owned by the public which are the true guinea pigs .
It’s also superior in helping to stop seizures.
great opening monologue . ;]
Wow! Sweet puns dude!
Lmfao Greger really enjoyed the puns on this one…
Science can really take a hit….
God this video is great 😂😂
What about juice from low THC cannabis? Juice has no psychotropic effects and is rumored to have healing properties. Have any studies been done on this aspect of cannabis?
Pun counter: 15 in the first minute
Not all cannabis is equal it’s the CBG and CBD that are good against glaucoma and most strains don’t contain much if these cannabinoids at all. Did this reaserch differentiate between the cannabinoid profiles of different strains?
So many puns in such a short amount of time. Bravo, sir!
The amount of puns in that intro 😂
That’s nearly a full minute of puns at the start! Impressive
I take my hat off to you sir for those awesome puns…
Anyone watch "CREAM" by David Firth. The ending statement just brought a flashback.
Ah, cannabis! I was prescribed opioids for nerve pain for 9 months and THEN told that doesn’t work. My partner took a pic of me during Oxy treatment. When I saw it, I was bent on quitting, so I could try cannabis oil (I had done lots of research, especially coming from Israel). I got off Oxy, started with a low dose of cannabis oil, increased after a month, and after 6 months, didn’t have pain, so I stopped. I take oil if I have some stressing appointments with my non WFPB diabetes Dr, otherwise… When you are WFPB, cannabis has wonderful impacts on pain (even neuropathy!). Don’t anybody squeese my feet, like the DR did, and I am pain-free. A few spasms, but nothing to be alarmed with. NEVER SMOKE it! Get it from a well-reputed dispensary in oil or cookie form. It works very well. Sayer Ji’s website is chockfull of studies (over 500). How many do we need? 🙂
Fake studies only retards smoke cannabis for ‘’health reasons’’. If you are taking cannabis for health reasons you ingest it which last longer while having zero of the negative effects of smoking. On top of that cannabis research is still illegal in most places so if you are getting some sort of permit to do so it’s ‘likely’ by some scumbag in the government trying to downplay any beneficial benefits for his corporate masters.
With all of that said cannabis is far, real far from a miracle cure as some like to pretend. Last most cannabis sold today is full of pesticides and even herbicides especially the trash sold at medical clubs and recreational dispensaries.(which is a huge fucking problem)
Cannabis oil and cannabis edibles (all medical grade from dispensaries) have done nothing for me 😞 I had high hopes too 🥺
Surely smoked cannabis provides little medicinal properties, but what about dietary cannabis?
I won’t ever use marijuana unless I get super sick but it is hella better for you than the poison the medical community calls medicine.

Not true. 1000s of cancer cures. Been doing that for 100s of years
Can’t we just crowdfund a gigantic independent study or something? Why wait for big pharma to fund it?
Was this video designed to be a joke? The puns, and general making light of very serious issues detracted from possibly useful aspects. Anyone looking for good information will be turned off by the lack of respectful treatment of the subject.
the intro was amazing ahahah too goooood watched it while i was baked. :’D
CBD oil and you don’t have to smoke or get high
Glorious Puns Sir lol and a great video. I like the weed and in my ten years of personal tests. i conclude it helps me anyway.
420 studies lol
Talking about WEEDS. Could you make a video about how toxic Weed Killers can cause Cancer, kill bees, and our planet? Please educate the British, State Education and the media has failed us all. http://butterflylullaby.blogspot.com/2018/06/control-japanese-knotweed-naturally-no.html
Looks like smoking was the only method of administration in these studies. I decarb my ganja into cannabutter using coconut oil then pour it into bite size candy mould and store in refrig for easy use. I use it for pain management and as a sleep aid. I have found that the higher the turpenes the worse the dry mouth and dry eyes are and those are the side effects I really dislike. But the higher turpenes are what is suppose to deliver the beneficial cannabinoids. IKD I am still learning. Just happy it is legal in my state as I have had to deal with cancer for 8 years without it and now it is available to me.
420 articles? I see what you did there, Michael.
Nice riff on all the associated terms!
how many puns were there in this video?
Oh man, I ate a pot cookie just 40 min ago and I’m already regreting my decision!
I am a drug and alcohol counselor working with teens. I’ve watched this video with them probably over 100 times. The section on noted long term effects is a significant eye opener.
LOL
