For millennia people used marijuana for fun and medicine. Not until the 20th century that was it vilified, unfairly say many. Weed has done lots of good things, from alleviating cancer symptoms to unlocking secrets of the brain. Learn all about pot here.

welcome to stuff. You should know how stuff works that have been.
Hey and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark, there's Charles the retook brightness demons out man about this music yeah. This is it,
to our guests. Produce know who is here is actually producing, but he's got. The musical touch is if you wanna,
produce. Yet if you wanna reggae, if I hereby gas knows the man yes dig thanks to nor yet and great idea by you, I- and I believe that are you doing here-
I'm great. We get some good feeling Goin on yeah, I mean we ve covered grow
Sesar and on women.
Marijuana right. I don't think so now now, because a lot of it didn't seem familiar windows looking into this article, so we definitely don't grow houses yet which is kind of backwards. Yes, well, not really gonna grow up that. I have urged the so check here. Return, my part and, as is our thing, we're in Togo, part in a very like above the board's mature way are. We
I think we can be sure we ve talked about some other stuff before Boop without about boot plenty a times yet well, I think booze. Every time we covered drugs, we like to cover the scientific aspects to their social ramification night, how its impact in culture here. Why would this one be any different law? And this is why the biggest you know it's the most ubiquitous, I would say: yeah yeah yeah
maybe the gateway to all the other episodes very funny. So I guess, if you like, we should start at the beginning camera that fucking talk about.
In its history, its very long, long, long, history and actually for most of their history. It has been widely beloved and appreciated. The were apparently pot.
Uncultivated or marijuana. We're gonna use all that in interchangeably. We'd part marijuana here, but Diana best, that's probably will start like it either. One of his says, ganja or sticky, Ikey Dickie, like it in this article,
we should disappear, shut it down at right that I will do the year. Hey. Take that back one of us to say that ok,
yeah. But, like you said, I mean this is gonna, be a over, because we could do honestly for shows on the history of pot, there's quite a rabbit hole. We could go down here. We gotta avoid yeah, but words were all give you historical overview. Have a that's, so I guess said: parts been cultivated for eighty five hundred years and may I also said that it's mostly been appreciated by that time
two reasons: one, it is an industrial was until the rise of the synthetic, a major industrial fibre, hemp, her and then. Secondly,
it was a or it still is a medicinal herbs that can a spill over into recreational use as well
So in the twentieth century, in China it looks like it was- probably use medicinal yet
and not recreational, but there definitely records written records of the cultivation of cannabis
yeah, a guy named Shin, none who is an emperor but was also China's first physician row,
how MA that's what they call part back then in China,
is good for the union, the ANG both of em right of wages
So you will see it. That's a pretty astute observation early on, because what he's talking about is balance or homeostasis year, which part definitely
for sure they have found a mummy a three thousand year old egyptian Mummy and now looked into this in it. It contains quite a few drugs, but it definitely contained th see so the Egyptians were getting down
yeah, maybe medicinal who knows in
does anyone one a rabies nights, it makes in appearance
Bang Angie Sinbad apparently loves the stuff, but supposedly his was has mixed with opium
way more hard core than what was talking of them
yeah yeah, probably so they
It originated perhaps in India.
Damn north of the Himalayas is their best guess.
They are. They really have no idea and actually there's like a lot of debate still over whether there is more than one type of plant women. So there's cannabis indicates cannabis whatever,
their different there's another one called cannabis: router Alice, Rosalie and there's theirs.
Ongoing debate among botanists over whether they're all actually just different? They come varieties of the same planet right or if they really are different species of plants in the same family, interesting yeah, but I think the car, the current common wisdom
that there is at least to cannabis, a tv and canvas indicates yet we may well get into that little bit. Indigo is the plan itself, a shorter in fatter and better suited for indoor growing
the city was taller, can get really talk? Twenty five feet spin we're here
thinner, although I think for cultivation, I don't think even though its grown outdoors, I think they're going to twenty five foot plan
Now I would imagine this helicopters allow or easily yeah any indicators known for more of a body, high court and couch locked, yet mellow
and the city is more known for more energetic and cerebral and creative, more of a brain high right, and then, conversely, one can make more paranoid. One can make you more truly,
yeah and typically these days. If you are
recreational or medicinal use or you're, probably getting some sort of a hydra strain, give point and actually some the strains. This hybrid strains have some of the best names like green crack. It's pretty good day
eighteen, forty, seven white widow, why? What is actually a pure strain? Isn't it of India? Ah, I think it is the Maumee Wowie other the pot names or their pretty money. They ve
began better from the seventies like Molly wowie. Yet it sounds.
Illegal happening. So should we talk about a hooky? Wouldn't she we talk a little bit about its history in this country in the United States. Yet so I think we should get to that because, as I said Chuck when you look back, I'm part all these years and its how it was used. It was generally like appreciated
use medicinal use, recreational, not vilified. It wasn't until it hit North America that it really started to become vilified.
Well, I had a good run here too, and the states for a couple of hundred years it was hemp, was grown
and cultivated and widely used. Some people say it's me now. The most versatile plant on earth for us
for use, as you can get out of it, and it was in the sixty nineteen Virginia Assembly Assembly. They even said do you have to grow help if your farmer in Virginia, so not only was it encouraged? It was actually law in Virginia at least
so I have had a good run until the early nineteen hundred and nineteen twenties. Well. What's what's interesting is back
time. Over the coming days, the confused
where are they liked, it is the biggest donor of the whole group is talking about. George Washington, like area,
like planning camp all day, again comes home in smokes. A bit of India. Martha erratic is not clear, whether not any of em were smoking pot entirely possible that they weren't sure, because the idea of smoking pot was lost through the ages for a very long time hear them and the Greeks actually grew marijuana, but they didn't spoke it. They just use it for its fibres right in the almost appears like they had no idea, you could smoke it and it was psychoactive. So it's possible that the
our forefathers didn't smoke pot and they were they reduce growing it for industrial uses
and meanwhile native Americans were like you guys- are crazy rope. Rope is nice, but you know there can be both
in the early.
In hundreds, the Mexican Revolution, nineteen ten. This is one of the big turning points, because lot of mexican emigrants came to the EU
and they were alike hey. You know you can smoke the stuff right. It's pretty nice and because mexican immigrants had up, which would have looked down upon. All of a sudden pot was looked down upon. Really mexican immigrants were looked down upon somewhere in the? U S, history
the whole thing about part being vilified or I guess there is a moral panic, basically what they call it that erupted around it,
yeah in a lot of those based in racism toward Mexican. Americans are mexican immigrants yeah nineteen thirty, especially
the depression they were sort. I had a bad name because in other immigrants in this country and where Americans and wearing depression- and we want the work and can have a lot of the same arguments here these days right, but I'm the association part was definitely are part of. It definitely was by also read the sum this impure blue.
Code switch about this very topic. Embarrassing, like yes, there's a lotta racism that led to the criminalization of part yeah, but Mexico.
Was twenty years ahead of the? U S and criminalizing part as well, so you can't say: well, it was just Americans disdain or dislike her distrust of Mexicans right. It was. You know it's more complex than that
and the sky was saying that really you can conclude there is a fear of what this drug did.
And the reason why there is a fear of what the drug did was because the newspaper reports at the time had people
killing entire families there and like wandering around the streets like with somebody's head covered in blood a because they just smoked a joint here.
And they are really trying to unpack this like. Why would they happened? Did it happen? Will were all of em just over blown reports that the fact was tat when you picked up the less Angeles Times the New York Times? Yet there were front,
age stories about this in they were like Brown, skin mexican kills white family of eight
on marijuana cigarette yeah and that's why it actually did the word. Marijuana was kind of used as a derogatory term. The kind of mexican defy cannabis, which is what
been called prior to that now in the world, and Europe did not come off. My super look at you teaching me.
What movies like reefer madness, deftly didn't help in nineteen thirty, six, the famous propaganda movie from my friend,
you're Louie as near its you know, required viewing
any college student, it's really of yeah, it's it's not very good
not very enjoyable, but it is kind of funny showing the the reef radically. You know
two insanity
by the marijuana want to somebody gets murdered right
I think someone murder somebody else because they smoke apart,
and then in nineteen thirty seven a year after Refer madness. Congress packs ass, the Marijuana Tax ACT and this is based.
Where the tide turn, and it was essentially criminalized because it called for restricting possession.
Just to individuals who paid attacks, which is, I guess,
thousand dollars for medical or industrial users rights. In other words, if you're just you know, Sammy pot head, you can't live that waiting, or in this case you know you a bit
We have to show set up a shell organization, pay the thousand dollar tax and then you ll be able to import marijuana. But if you recall with smoking, it you'd still get busted. Yes, it was a big deal when that happened.
And you can kind of lay all of this at the feet of one guy, a moral crusader who ran the Federal Bureau of narcotics in the thirties for the thirties until the sixties. His name is Harry Ants liquor.
And he was the one who really kind of started this crusade against pot and got the government to turn against to get the press to turn against it,
and get the Marijuana Tax ACT passed here, but even while the skies like sitting there shouting like all marijuana, gonna kill us all as a horrible drug in its debts as bad as it gets.
We're studies, independent studies- there were funded by the government- there were showing, like guys, account
overstating this a little Beth yeah. Ninety,
ready for me
the Guardia of New York, issued a report that basically said that it doesn't induce violence, insanity or sex
crimes yet, and he was moreover, former himself man on Earth Kaminski brothers, burlesque episode, since I like you, did something pot head like
Is it a moral reformer himself any still found this report here? That's good point that led to this the sentencing laws over time of kind of waffle back and forth in the fifties they were pretty strict because of the body
act in the narcotics Control ACT and that's when they started setting mandatory minimums were basically any drugs but including marijuana, of course yeah. But you go to prison for a long time. She got caught with pot yet to ten years for a first, the first time offender and the nineteen Fifty's
caught with pot yeah. That's it any any amount of right.
In the sixties, things relax the little bit in every way. You can imagine in this country
and you know her
Kennedy in an l B. J issued reports that found kind of the same thing is they found out. The forties doesn't induced
what's in these reports, is that it didn't wasn't a gateway drug either in the nineteen sixties, which is still up for debate really NEA had another have been definitively now because you read every other report, you reads: gonna say some along different near about what the gateway, druggist, implicit, think, defining what makes a gateway drug too, has never been fully established. Yeah. You can't help,
it s something scientifically. If it's, you don't have to define, you know in the that led the nineteen sixty led to repeal of a lot of the mandatory minimums in the seventies, but then, of course, Ronald Reagan, and then I can eat is ruled out of that stuff. Back and Nixon too. He fought there.
Tooth and nail like, even though they tied in the country was turning one way. Nixon's like nope we're going to keep pot as illegal as possible and, as a matter of fact, we're gonna put it on the same level as heroin,
cocaine. In turn. The Knicks administration, though, that Schaefer Commission Bipartisan Commission found again that
could be decriminalize Nixon was to psychological and want to hear that sir I'm gonna make up my mind
I'm the president. Exactly yes, it, like you, said the Reagan era brought it back, but not brought pipe back, no project that any kind of them anti government sentiment toward part
self was redoubled in the eighties, under the Reagan administration to say no
The toy minimums near were
or mandatory sentences were reenacted in nineteen o six thanks to the Anti Drug Abuse act. If you got caught with a hundred marijuana plants, you get the same steel time as if you were caught with a hundred grams of heroin. It's interesting plants versus grants, a sort of apples, oranges, comparison. You had plans versus heroin, lasers, zombie. I know one point: this is sort of our topic topic, but I don't know they changed it, but at one point there were sentencing Ellen
the users by the wait right and one that the deal like they were like if you weren't lsd dealer- and you had twenty sheets of ass if they would weigh it and therefore I will wait a minute. You can't way the paper. That's like weighing the suitcase psychopath comes right here, and I think that some say no. I
But I do know what you're talking about an apparently like if they would, if you had it mixed in with liquid or something like that,
who did the liquor arm? They take them?
of all the liquid bright. Rather than the proportion of it I don't know Covey we could
like showing our are deliberately for urban legend or not, but I know that the case down enough. It's
As we know, it definitely was. Emily was yak as us
can HBO special on case LSD dealers and basically serving like life sentences for dealing acid
right alongside murders and rapists yeah yeah. I want the chicken in that and people who are caught with pot and the third is the threat
these days wise varies a lot depending on quality.
Basically it ranges. I love that in this article says a dollar seventy seven to seventeen dollars and sixty six that sport I'd like one gram of marijuana, please its interest,
but these days you can expect to pay. For you know what people concerned good marijuana, that a hundred and twenty dollars for a quarter bag, which is a quarter of an out right with seven grams right, because its twenty eight grams in and out yet think between seven and eight grams, but on it
then, if the deal like exactly you ever, that's generally how breaks down, as you know, you have it by the pound, which, as you know, the pot dealer, I guess, and then they break it down into answers and then to quarter bags and dying bags and whatever people can afford. I guess was funny because in the state of the country, right now
like you can take dealer in dispensary and basically flipper interchange, em in what you're talking about it. Virtually this,
This is going to remain unchanged. The ethically you know, because the marijuana dispensaries are following, like basically the same format that marijuana dealers in his country have for decades,
in only like pricing and here the pricing, the the way it saw, the by way, our sure sure, like idea, he stood by like quarters in half ounces announces instead, which makes sense, but
also getting a lot of young people who are growing indoors in their basement and it's like they have licences for all this, but is basically like all the people who were
doing illegally before where some of the people who are doing illegally before right when applied for licences, another doing the same thing, but they just have like a m the licence to do it in a frame on their wall here and dispensaries. You're gonna find a lot of other things like edibles here and they then have now cannabis strips like the little Listerine breath strips oh yeah. They have low cannabis strips since the little edible strip of concentrated cannabis, and I guess you put it under your tongue in that's better for your lungs out. Imagine if you're a oh yeah cancer, patient or somethin yet and we'll talk about their load that both let's talk about the plan itself. Chuck ok made.
The most recognisable plant that leave you now yet, which is his little fact for you. The botanical description of the way that marijuana leaves are arranged is groovy come Paul mainly. I like up
of a hand with five fingers outstretched yeah, that's the pot leaf, that's
you can find on lighters and baseball caps, evasiveness ether, inaccurate and the like. You said the plan itself, depending on
variety, it is neither very taller Canada, depending on whether its trimmed or not right and the birds or whatever they are smoked, are actually the flowers of the plants, the flowers of the female which apparently, that sense of mere. So the definition of the word since MIA our female flowers, that of reach maturity with
being pollinated. I can't hear that word without thinking cash back. What I remember that for Ill Murray, it'll, California seemed to me. So that's what I mean. Yes, it will be the term since May of meat. So basically, unless you like fourteen, if you're smoking, part you're smoking sense,
so yes, the term since a mere means part that the pilot smoked, although the mayflowers do have some cfcs is far far less
female than female yeah as a cultivator males are not what you want.
In fact, males can can disturb the cycle of the female plants, so the goal of the culture.
To get the male out of there as quickly as it can be identified, basically, yet in weeds, actually good moniker for part, because it is spread very easily. Their pollen is
like twenty four microns, which apparently is very easily
in born Ngos very great distances. Yes, this very few obstacles to Paul innovation. So if you have female plants- and you have-
you suspect to be a male plan anywhere near by you, wanna get rid of the male plant right and until the officer
them. They must. It is blown overhearing taken root, sir.
We have recently in my back yard, came from my neighbour policy. Is twenty four microbes con yeah? He says he said. Tell your story to the judge. My friend right
there are about
allowed us to stay there from hermaphroditic plants, hermaphroditic plants, oh yeah, that feature both male and female flowers. Does it probably mass yeah? I think there are maybe that's it get that think. That's like a lot, a hybrid wonder
Never did it may well. There are hundreds of chemicals in the American a plant.
A hundred nine of which are can have annoyed about thirty three are cancer causing and what will get to that stuff later to, but I run a key: they also or cancer killing some of them. It is an odd plant, but we can get dollar
They re Hooker and your th c is really that the main psycho active ingredient
I was the long name for it: Delta nineteen
I dont can have been all that is to see. That is what the the high that your seeking it lies within that chemical yeah, and actually you can point to the part of the plan
is, if you ve ever seen a marijuana plant and it has candidates hazy a period appearance from far away and you get up close and you realize that Hazel actually made
went a little clearer, sticky, protrusions coming off the leaves those are called, try comes, and that is where the tac stored.
That's right and depending on the plants in the variety and how its ground, and when its harvested in the genetics and how you process it. It's that's all gonna effect. The tac level and as the cultivator your goal is to have the tapes sea level is hiding, get it yeah. Dad is up for debate as well from what I've seen
There are apparently there just going higher and higher and higher. As far as tac content goes and there's a lot of recreational pot, usually an medicinal pot users soothingly
too much do they will certainly has a bit about how, when he was in my four in the seventies smoke like a whole join d like totally mellaril cool thing takes like one hidden, you go totally insane in. Apparently there is like a point words like they're, too much
Louis you taken afford better part these days till her. Now what you write, it all depends on the year, the end user. You know what they're into sir, but, generally speaking the cultivator wants to deliver the most bang for the buck. You would think Sosa so check, let's figurative smokes pot and follow it through the body, and you know why we polish, and do this our selves. Now we like or jobs exactly and we might be five free, the figurative we smoking pop Yan, who wants to
let's get the about that scruffy looking guy farmer tat Year, he sees look at him he's game. So a lot of people don't know this, but we have a friend name, farmer TED. I, who has the very strange characteristic of having entirely translucent skin. I can like the invisible man or something like that, and what better person than to follow the trail of teaching in the human body. The honey can actually see yet because the rest of his organs or anything aren't translucent is just a skin, and I thank you for coming in TED
so TED is going to smoke a joint, a cigarette, yes and he's going to smoke. What is a typical marijuana cigarette, approximately five
your milligrams of marijuana which translate
to roughly, I don't know, maybe ten milligrams of th see ok, so he's going to take a wider and take it to the end of this joint air quality work as its that's vernacular her and the teacher is going to be burned and carried into his lungs. So former tat has come
I already yeah, the the tac and smoke is carried to the ever lie in the lungs and every all eyes were gas exchange occurs its where your oxygen deprived blood comes to get a refill of oxygen. Replenished and since there is t see smoke present in that oxygen in the lungs they teach, you gonna hit you right into the bloodstream and travel through the body. Yet so it's six seconds
One of the places it's going to go is the brain and when it hits the brain it starts to in some pretty funky stuff. That's right, wicked,
Former tat, I was feeling right now in who probably say yet he can't touch he might
say that my eyes are dilating in the colors are a lot more vivid, yeah I'll, be hungry soon
I'll be hungry. So my other senses are enhanced as well, but hold on arms. Starting fill a paranoid. Yes, but let's get into this. That's it. Let's get into how pot affects the brain because is pretty.
Star in interesting? If you ask me yeah- and this is how it the physiological effects-
the end user might have. Different reactions began it that make everyone paranoid necessary.
No and I really looked into hard to find out why some people are paranoia
there are people down part of it. Is it well there's two things one and I didn't find anything definitive Whitcomb, I'm said about, but why? The two things I came up with its one depends on the pot sure if there is a difference between indicates,
city via the prevailing wisdom. Is that if you smoke indicate you're going to be less likely to be paranoid, look at the other reason is
depend, probably on the existing brain chemistry of the user. My brain chemistry is not the same as yours threat. Neither one of Arthur, as is the same as Jerry, so of course, when we introduced psychoactive chemical into that chemistry is going to affect it differently.
So that's what I came up with. Basically, I wonder if one of the reasons indicates less likely is because that's the couch bound one in your less likely be paranoid sitting on your couch, rather than the more active when like smoking in going to the Renaissance festival. Worry you be freaked out this over
Were you me John Stricklin, and he would method they found a year's time anyway. I'm curious because it makes sense here. The I've also found there's recent research that says the m. The can have an ass, yet there is a precursor
chemical them. That's called there can never die all EC acid cd right and see
DE, has been found that to actually counteract the skin side effects of part like this. If that makes a paranoid symptom, if you get if you smoke a part that has a higher see VD to a tac ratio, maybe it even or something like that
the sea. Be these going to cut down on. This gets a frantic symptoms while leaving like the rest of the stuff intact. Interesting in that weird. So I wonder if, if indicators by nature has a higher cd content yeah, maybe so their people and others? Ok, so
back in the sixties. There was a researcher. His name escapes me who started looking into what the heck made pot make you Loco read, write any found tipsy, so TC was isolated,
sixties and from that they reverse engineered, how TC affected the brain and effectively discovered
entire system that we didn't know existed thanks to pot research, to call the Endocrine Avenue aid system and is a very ancient system that found in everything from sea squirts to every vertebrate on the planet. They see squirt, see squirts, very primitive animals all the way up
well, I know that but inquired the Indo Kanab annoyed parts of taken away. Okay, so- and I worked backwards- yes, that's a very important point, so you know when I come when we do anything from our brain says: grab coffee mug right to arm to us thinking about how our feeling at any given point all that is based
the transmission among neurons, right yeah. We ve cover that, like the Neuro transmitters can have covered
Gap between the neuron delivered the message and they
depending on where the dinner open transmitter is and what chemical is come across. The indifferent things happened right, while the endocrine ebonite system is this kind of dimmer switch.
That is around all neurons that works backward to candidates were well. Let's not pump those neuro chemicals out as frequently in as much abundance right and the whole point of the endocrine ebonite system is to maintain homeostasis or good, for you can get real Yang dry in that we're. Ok. So when you smoke part you're, Endo, Kanab,
system which has receptors all throughout the body. There see BT receptors, which are mainly associated with your immune system and then see V1 receptors are throughout the brain and when you smoke pot, the can avenues, Fido can ever noise, which is
Do you see in this case, go into these reasons, your brain and stick to your brain to your endocrine overnight, receptors yeah, they basically just gonna, hijack the system, so these the systems that
no can ever receptors are meant to regulate or no
being regulated by our bodies, endocrine ever noise, there being hijacked by TAC, which is not subject to our bodies, whims and in all that we just basically have to write that snake island.
Over. So you end up with all these different weirdo symptoms that you normally wouldn't have, which is basically the result of your inner, can ever noises from going haywire because has been hijacked by the agency right. So, like your hippocampus. Yes, we talked about that good for,
turning the adders and when the endocrine employed receptors are forty, eight see you're, not learning or making memories, as well as normal?
we're talking short term memory. It definitely impairs that and that's why you ve ever hung out with a bunch of potheads you'll hear the phrase. What are we talking about a little hot? It does
gonna effect the hippocampus in that way here, you're not forming memories, ask ineffectual, accordant
which is the cerebellum, say, maybe a little clumsier
and then you have the basic ganglia in that direction. Her unconscious muscle movements, yeah, so
Farmer TED is paranoid. He doesn't like that plan,
looking at the way. It is his parents, because
basil, medial, amygdala has been affected. Its endocrine, override receptors have been hijacked by the sea
this region of the brain, where we learn to fear dangerous situations
Farmer, TED is learning to fear things he normally wouldn't fear, but because the endocrine ever noise that the body normally makes are not operating the way that they're supposed to be so he's now afraid of that plant. Now isn't that this further Indo can have annoyed the same system that they have finally pinpoint,
The munchies era activates the monkeys year in your hypothalamus year, grilling production member growing dire, it's that chemical. That makes you feel hungry, so you go eat. Your growing production in absorption is mediated by and can have noise in the hypothalamus, which gets hijacked by the sea, which suddenly all food looks irresistible here in, which is why it is prescribed for people going through, came a therapy and other things, because they looser appetite muslin await an aside from helping the stem knowledge. It also
stimulate the appetite yeah. So that's the endocrine ebonite system, and that is how part affects it. If you like, I said yeah worry, we left are the biggest part. It also causes the release and opening, which is what makes you so sure you any euphoric feeling comes from that release dope me, but it's also possible that any paranoia or the scattered symptoms they come along with it.
Too much dopamine bright to hire a release of dopamine can lead to feelings and paranoia and anxiety.
And these feelings on the effect of the eighty period is gonna last a couple hours depending on, obviously, but how good the pot is and how much he smoked right.
But the chemicals are gonna, be in your body a lot longer than that with the terminal half life of twenty hours to ten days after you smoked it. So if you get, you know if you're one of the many percentage of companies drug test, fifty sensation
fifty something fifty three maybe year, depending on your weight and how much you smoke and how long you smoked. Fifty seven right, you're gonna, either pass at drug test. Here, not it can stay in your body. For you now weeks, though yeah yeah, there's
way to tell because it depends on you, you ve metabolism end the pot yet potency of the pot to but yeah your body breaks down into five metabolites and they test for all five g is using a basic him. You know I say where they introduce an anti body to your urine and it reacts or doesn't react and turns it a pretty color.
A pretty bad color check. We got a little more on the body will get to it after this breakthrough at that summit
hey you wanna, hear. Something amazing discovered matches all the cash back that you weren't at the end of your first year, automatically dollar for dollar, with no limit on how much you can earn amazing. Can I being showered with cash from above
It would also be pretty amazing. In fact, it's so amazing that millions of people a year are getting their cash back matched the just can't get enough
whether it's raining down on your head, reining in your bank account it's your cash back and discovers matching it discover cash back match. What are you waiting for? Learn? More discover, dotcom, slash cash back match, ok, formatted stand back up with the views,
the more, although it seems like he's enjoying it, he's a little he's a little clearer now here he was putting that plant
I think that they may not be a good, so you can see his liver right here right there. So farmer tat is gonna eat some part this time. Ok, so what's gonna happen, his ingested part orally one way or another, whether cooked in brownie or just eating the picture and the bodies going to take this and break it down, metabolize it and send it to the liver, and when this happens, it's going to the Tutsis going to hit the bloodstream, yet
the stomach anyway. So it's gonna get some sort of buzzer whatever, but in the liver he's going to metabolism into another psychoactive chemical that isn't really present. When you smoke it, so it doesn't it, the effects are quite as print
but they last longer and there's an additional weirdo thing to it, while it's gonna take longer but last longer and on the effects of yeah exactly. But there is also the extra psychoactive chemical is producing liberalism.
Really produced when you smoke it yeah, and in that way it is weird and is also the reason why Newt Young travellers, the Amsterdam and I want to try their first pot brownie
things, Workin try another method, and this is the ones you see like sitting alongside the canal like rocking themselves. Yes, does it
so little while does it when you see when you in just a view smoke, it's almost instantaneously new ingested by eating it, it's going to take a long letter.
Oh, I guess we should talk a little bit about whether or not its addictive cassettes, another raging debate for years and years, how addictive his pot? There are all kinds of studies at contradict one another, and am I think it's one of these things. It probably comes down to the person somewhat. Yet, if you had that addictive personality, but they do see effects of pot
saving your debility anxiety, depression, maybe sleeplessness and insomnia. Restlessness. That's if you quit the pot. After having been a user and its Lena psychologically directive like any drug you're gonna be created. If you want it, Sir
Apparently it can have an impact on your levels of anxiety, like you might not feel anxious when you stone, but you could feel anxious when you're, not
and so you re still more often right which, while not necessarily a classic addiction, because the addiction model follows the strictly the olympic system right in part, I think activated somewhat. But it's
really acting specifically on as acting more on endocrine laboratory system right right. So indeed,
we might beginning limping system, but it's not following that: classic addiction, rout yeah, but at the very least that bitch you all. You need to smoke something to get back to normal, better, a habit and a bad one, because you have a crutch, they're here unless you're willing, often in the news like what's the problem here, you just keep smoking a love of it. What are so well, I guess we can talk about some of the the medicinal users. We did talk about cancer and AIDS patients to stimulate
The old glaucoma card is a big one to play. Yeah you're playing for your medical marijuana Garda relieves. I pressure. I couldn't find how it does that you have. It has been that's one of the earliest uses of arrogantly
Your honor. I remember when all this for thirty two here, while I warn you pass the legal
so marijuana. Ninety. Ninety six, there was almost all glaucoma the time at which you seem like everybody was like yours have facon right. Glaucoma you need proper glaucoma, then it is became more more establishes factor became associated with helping more more maladies.
Course, if you gotta get your card then go to the dispensary, they have a long list of things that it can help re. Basically, anything you can think of. Yes, though they were put on their list as long as you have a prescription card, there call with one another to get the card, oh god, like with the other guy
after returning. That's all you got your where's Birchen stocks. Yeah you can follow, get a medicinal marijuana came from, but don't see him for anything else. It can help with epileptic seizures. In fact, here in Georgia, that's been on the table. Do famous story of a boy here in Georgia here who seizures were like massively cut down by taking marijuana oil, which has no TH sea, like the kids not getting high. Basically, it doesnt psychoactive properties. Now why in Georgia is believe it or not, trying to speed through and I didn't go through.
Initially a few weeks ago, just because I think they didn't have time to get a group, but there seems to be support for it, but just for a very surprising yeah, just for the marrow and although not like dispensaries earning like yeah, I'm in could be the beginning of it or it could be a sea change in how enjoys on state this in a legal eyes met,
wanna. Be surprised live, but I'm wondering if it's a change like ok with this,
this no marijuana oil work. For this. We can legalise that method.
I don't like the model for other states. Our suits me
Then, a mass, multiple sclerosis decreases muscle spasms and I've seen this first hand with a good friend really help
mountain. Montel Williams is famous come out as an immense sufferer who is a long time advocate Gara using their one
it makes sense again I mean, if you're, having muscle spasms, perhaps your and can have annoyed system is not functioning correctly in the tac, goes in and actually supplements a year, and also a member of the fight cancer Jellia you're gonna cancer that govern taper cannabis in medicinal cannabis. I think now it brings up basically
laundry list of all the ways that marijuana helps and it's been found to fight to destroy cancer cells out, like t see, goes in industries cancer cells in the liver. Apparently, it's been shown to destroy can't briskly
Smells like not helps you feel better when you have to re write can actually cure cancer, while in some cases it was carcinoma in the liver that it was shown to be able to cure
play worth checking out to us and also alleviates pain,
um inflammation associated with injury or disease yeah, the weight does, that is with the other Kanab noises. Receptors C b to receptors in the body are related to the immune system. So it goes in and messes with those and says: hey everybody, calm down without being so inflame. Well, that's a yeah! I guess that's why it's proscribed lot! Forearm arthritic conditions, EAST Asia, never make sense here. Rheumatoid arthritis now has come here. I don't know what that, with the differences between rheumatoid in regular arthritis should do unauthorized harass summit that it is still get that, despite all that, the medical research, it is still scheduled as they are
Why does a schedule, one substance, which is the most dangerous drugs that currently have no accepted medical use in a high potential for abuse, and there have been many pushes over the years to get it reclassified and not in the same group as heroin, cocaine and ecstasy nuts, but on that has not been successful as of yet. But I think that will probably happen at some points in
it seems like it's going away, but supposedly around the time normal was founded. The national organization for the real legalization,
Marijuana legislation there, I'm pretty sure, that's quite a man
for I want to live a normal festivals. Ie seven play my part in the nineties
normal, rarely has passed near. I saw the black grocer once it has great
So you by your normal, is found in the seventies. At a time when it looked like a mink Carter. Was President Willie Nelson its motive?
on the White House, roof yeah like it was the time for a part to be defined.
Lies in everybody thought like it's gonna happen. If happening is happening here and apparently nope, it didn't happen to pull back from the brink. So it's entirely possible that what looks right now
to be the wind of change. That is very much sweeping through the country. Here kid could be start baffled. I guess so it's the the fat lady has not sign yet well. I think the first step towards a federal and the difference here as in a federal laws versus state laws, it still federally not accepted, but in states, like course, Colorado in Washington and then how many states have medical like.
When twenty or twenty here. Ok, if anything, can happen federally, it's gotta be reclassified away from schedule, one first right. So until that happens, you're probably gonna see any federal laws enacted
now or repealed, and we should say the the mood of the country right now is about split, a little band favour toward pot pro path, yes alike in Washington, in Colorado, both vote through, like fifty five, forty, four, fifty five, forty three something like that here and there a CBS Paul from two thousand and fourteen. I think in January, found about the same. Fifty five percent of Americans favour legalizing part opposed to, like, I think forty four
forty three percent. Yes, it's clearly moved out of you now just a hippie sweeteners at the normal rally into people supporting that kind of legislation that don't even use marijuana, because there is a groundswell of support that hey
It's not a schedule want. Let's not a schedule and drug alcohol is more destructive to do your life in your body and why you gonna out, while this plant in put people in prison with a war on pot that isn't working right. It's like wasting money, whereas we could tax it and raise money. So there's there's been a big title shift in the past decade, really in the past twenty years, but in the past ten like, if you ask me ten years ago, if there be recreational use, allow any state out is probably not. But here we are with Washington in Colorado. Here we are
like where you can grow it? You can buy it and have I don't know how much, but thank you out habits certain small now right yeah. I can't drive around with him pounds in your trunk earning idle
I don't know how much you can, but it is definitely more
like a small amount,
you, I am you, can just literally go to the store and by part there is actually
Also New Yorker article called Buzz, kill from late last year in its about this economist that Washington State higher, do basically create the framework for their legal pot industry like the economic model here and there,
the honour on a macro economic level, micro, economic levels like we're, whether you like it,
You're gonna be competing with dealer. Still, it was your answer. You want to make a tax money, but you don't wanna make so much that you price yourself out of the market and the black market stays open. You wanna get rid of the black market by basically competing against them competing about a business right and if there is one
different factors at this guy. I was kind of laying out and it was really interesting buzz kill took. There are at least take another break here, and then we get back. We'll talk a bit about the potency of marijuana over the years
We want to tell you about the Subaru: Love promise
right. We have a super outback. Emily does- and we had to these now and now we love the company even more because of the Subaru LE promise. So Subaru has made a commitment by the company and its retailers to do
by the communities that we all live in and work in and play in Dr Supervision, since two thousand fifteen Subaru its retailers and they leukemia and lymphoma. Society have delivered craft kits and blankets to more than one hundred thousand patients across a nation. Yeah, that's right in this past year
more than forty three thousand blankets in over ninety five hundred kids were delivered to patients, along with messages of hope, which is pretty nice. It's great to learn more about how Subaru gives back visit Subaru Dotcom, Slash, love, dash, promise. That is s you be a r! U dotcom, Slash LSD,
dash, P, r, o my assay. Alright there's
that I don't quite understand about the potency of marijuana. Unlike the Sixtys and Seventys versus today. The debate is that the pot as much more potent than it was in the Sixtys and Seventys and first of all, they didn't. They
test a wide variety of marijuana strains in the Sixtys and Seventys right. It was like stems and seeds
the king, my garage wag here, says: that's the only way you can tell a true Testa potencies to study a wifi they didn't. They never did that
in testimony wowie. They never did that and sixty,
Germany's and you can't go back in time machine. So what's the point debating the pot today is is how it is and basically why the best he could have to do is like have Dennis Harper smoked.
Pie and be like her, and he can be like a dead hoppers dead. You could, since, when
to someone like insurance, commercial behaviour signal. Another said that seriously
there's hopper get willing also now Peter fond of his life. Ok, so you just have Peter find it tell you he can tell you, there's plenty of people who could say
point is that is largely irrelevant because we're not dealing with creating pot policy based on the nineteenth sixties, right we're dealing with pot policy today, and we know very clearly that part is more potent today than it was even a couple decades ago, and we know that in part because of something called the University of Mississippi Potency monitoring project. Basically, they get their hands on seized part there. The cops get there
yeah. They sent some of the Mississippi, Mississippi tested for potency, and they said that between ninety ninety three and two thousand eight, the average, the average amount of th see across all samples. Yeah rose from three point: four percent to eight point: eight percent from ninety three to two thousand eight
and it's going up the apparently now with the rise of dispensaries and the open
We shared knowledge of how to cultivate the are indeed
you know what you want to genetically select for up to a car like twenty five percent. Supposedly- and I didn't see that figure disputed twenty five percent- th see content, that's insane, that's there will drive, you would say. I can imagine that if the average is eight point, eight or was three point four and ninety ninety three and is now up to twenty five percent. That's potent yeah
That's a guess for the top of the line most expensive part you can buy yet, but I predict that there's going to be like kind of retro vintage push back
a return to show not necessarily that boat. Something that's like way. More.
Down early like marketed to people who, like dont, want like that level of a high. I guess you like seventy.
We'd, like all have to do to market it. Green leaves your suit of something like that. Their success,
although I don't know if anybody we want to go back to the seventies, because I think it really was very low potency it compared
They speaking there aren't you recover some of the ways that its smoked. Why
we cover dumb, the joint right. Yes, that's a slim and slim had the joint. I do know that Slim happens to prefer the blood oh yeah, and that is a cigar that is sliced open and tobacco taken out and generally mixed back again with some of the pot and it's alright. It's got a blunt. I didn't know that the tobacco is ever expected. It depends on, I mean you don't have to like. A split is popular in Europe: nets with regular tobacco like drum
no one ever to cynical loosely tobacco mixed in with with the pot ya, think that, once usually they take must have a cigar tobacco out. I think about where you, and even into by cigar now they have blunt wrappers like basically cigar rowing papers. Our yeah flavoured wants to give her this interesting name. You can have your just traditional pipe. If you got any had shop, you're gonna find a big variety of all sorts of handmade class pipes or member the brass funds with Thea the little candid tied I plastic thing in them.
Oh for holding is the brass would get so hot. Apparently man eminent can remember that from the nineties. Like did you go to Lollapalooza Gallant Lollapalooza? Well, then, you saw those things. I remember the first time I smell, but it was at a concert here and now he's like thirteen and is such a foreign. I think I've thought about this on the shelves cycle. What in the world is that
Look I've never seen anything like that. My leg is someone burning a spare tyres anything here and then you ve got the the Bonn the or water pipe
and that uses water to too I guess cool down the smoke
remember that from the Scott Veil, after some special stoned, Jersey, thou know, I saw that
the regular movie, but he's growing part now and he row as it were going to school year. Instead,
it was one of them, the classic after school specials, where he was a part had that like ended up accidently killing his brothers and I came swimming
knocked him on the head with the orb about bad guys. He may not have died that he may rescued him. The every school special that I remember most vividly is the low
we're Helen Hunt took pc, p, o ye, I jumped out the window decorate or every school. I mean they're scared, the pants off here, which is the point
neither radium with high up on the satellite more, but I remember you
the bodies walked out of the box got bear. Didn't I heard that the bubbling sound and I was like. Well that's a weird sound
and then you heard it over Cyprus eleven years later, Yak Ay Scott there and then, of course, you talked about the edibles and vapor rising, which is like all the rage these days. Yet I imagine just hit me the other day. I'll bet everyone who spoke part uses east cigarettes is like little vaporized one had her something some do. I would imagine there. In fact, you can buy a like pre made cartridges like hash oil and things
Can your law a cigarette and other sellers in Colorado? Stick then your cigarette smuggling, but we should point out we say kids, these days and teenagers.
Although marijuana use and teenagers has
escalated over the years. You can't finish:
the one demographic, I think, you'd be surprised if everybody who smoke pot honestly, my regular basis was out it about who you would see. I've heard stories from friends whose fathers were like ceo executives and they had cannabis clubs, where all the other see us that they were friends with like through their own special teapot and traded it among each other. So a wide range of people use it. Although the vast majority, supposedly I dont, know fast majorities re, although, according to poles
surveys. The vast majority are teenagers followed by post, teens yeah, but in between ninety ninety. Ninety. Ninety two
And ninety ninety nine marrow
use among teenagers doubled, and you know why I lay that almost exclusively at least at first at the feet of doktor, dry and snoop dog beginning so I'm I've played out there yet with the chronic absolutely here as a great up ninety ninety two year, I was again when I hear that arm, I think of street fight or two did you play louder than we waste we'll sit around and college, listen to the chronic and play street fight or two?
get em with great game. I never really played street by really get so. I found a study here. I have the energy when I think of it. Have you seen the beauty of MIKE Tyson clips? Sets a street fighter sound effects,
reality from his one. Man shower nerve from his box and career fits perfectly he's a shining again and at one point to see that. So, if you're smoking pie is obviously not going to be great for your lungs in your body, vision healing smoke and likely said earlier, there's other thirty, three cancer causing chemicals and marijuana, and it's gonna deposit torrent, your lungs,
like cigarettes and in fact, if you smoke equal amounts of marijuana and regular tobacco, it's gonna deposit about four times as much time as regular tobacco was called the tar burden. Is it
However, there was a large scale, long term study released recently by the EU,
receive Alabama at Birmingham and they collected data from five thousand adults for more than twenty years, which these are always my favorite studies. You know, if you can,
The long term they found that low to moderate you support, is less harmful to your lungs than exposure to tobacco, and I think it, sir, they measured airflow rate, which is the speed which you can.
Our air and then lung volume, which is the amount of air you can hold in your lungs, and they found that with Tibet
there's a wonder one relationship, the more you lose the more lost you have long, wise,
with marijuana up to a certain rate. I had actually increased the airflow rate, and
Their rationale was that a cigarette smoker, like a moderate, too heavy smokers smoke, unlike in appointing cigarette today sure, whereas no one's going out there and smoking enough. Well, must not true the twenty funny Jointed a year, but it would be probably less than that is more concentrated. But you don't see people smoking five joint today either unless they have rather Willie Nelson Smith Doc. I snoop line. Is he still on new by annex? I could see how pot
have an effect on your long so as well, especially compared to cigarettes, because no one uses a filter on their joint swell you and they are you inhaled deeper with marijuana than you do with tobacco, so those are both factors there, but if you're smoking a pack a day and your smoking, a lotta we'd you're not doing yourself any favours in the longer term, it yes, even though it might help you fight that cancer. It may give you cancer to begin with you.
This use some non psychoactive marijuana oil like they give a little kid or mariner, although that psychoactive is it is the tac pill yeah I'm wasting disease and condemn increase appetite in that kind of stuff, just a mess of the endocrine, every night system of people who need it. Are you got anything else now mean this could have been a typewriter, but with this good good overview.
Is, I hope, everybody enjoyed it yeah. You learn a little something anything else. No, if you want to learn more about marijuana, acre a cannabis tape either those words into the search bar has the footsteps
and was see since we said a search by them is a time for listen around
call this australian smoke jumper guys
right to let you know, influence the major change in my life couple years ago. Now you did a pike S on wildfires
