Well, you can use the ones that kill only once.

bruh epic weed joke bro

Scampwuhh, "All the plants in here have the ability to kill you." It's impossible to smoke enough weed to kill yourself, as the amount needed physically cannot be smoked fast enough by humans (can't remember the exact amount but I think it was hundreds of kgs in a hour or so). Maybe you can directly inject a large amount of oils into your system, but that's a long shot for calling something deadly. Everything is deadly when directly injected in large quantities. It's toxic, poisonous a drug and is bad for your health when ingested in uncontrolled ways, that's undeniably true. But the only way weed can realistically kill you is if a large bale of it drops directly on your head.

They kill you !!!!!

Possibly because it's invasive and might pose difficulties around the rest of the gardens if it spreads, I might be wrong though

So many of these plant are only poisonous if you ingest them. Essentially their only dangerous to dumbasses and babies

cannabis is not more dangerous than tobacco or alcohol :)

Tiavor Kuroma Actually cannabis is a lot less toxic.

Tiavor Kuroma and heroin is actually good for you, right?

that claim is debatable. The main harm from tobacco is the act of smoking it. Weed has similar effects in terms of lung damage from smoking, but also in overuse can cause serious brain damage in peoples who's minds are still developing. And saying alcohol is just as bad is an argument for having more control over how much people drink, alcoholism is a serious issue. Something equally harmful as alcohol is not a good thing.

He mentions no toxic effects of cannabis because there are none. Nothing about this plant is toxic. Toxins, i.e. alcohol, are substances that damage your nerves or other tissues.

Ok mum

You clearly haven't dealt with braindead tourists before.

yes, but no that was about making them scared so they will pay attention which is gross

@@y7awsbe2000 Not really. It’s more about interesting them. The same thought process as emphasizing the “gross” parts of science and history because that’s the stuff kids want to hear about. It’s exciting.

if you explain to the kid that they will die when they touch it, and they still touch it, sorry but they are a lost cause.

If you just say "don't run with scissors" the child probably won't care much since it has no idea what the consequences might be. Tell it "If you run with scissors you might trip and hurt yourself" it's much more likely they will listen. Try to avoid "No, don't do that" and use "If you do that, this might happen" instead. "Don't touch that" without any explaination might only encourage their couriosity in a bad way.

if it does touch a bad plant, and get hurt, it will at least learn to listen when you tell it something.

@@MrAntiKnowledge I litterally told a child "Don't touch the blue bottle tenticles, they really really hurt for ages" and they went around trying to touch them. Maybe it was my delivery? I don't know but i'd put up higher fences in this place.

I managed fine when I was about 7 and my parents brought me there.

I mean, I just figured it's in a cage not to protect people but to keep people from stealing it. As you said the popularity of it is what makes it necessary because while I'm sure there's a market somewhere for belladonna, it's not worth breaking into a public garden to get. Whereas there could be a real risk of tourists trying to steal off the cannabis plant either to sneak a treat at home or trade it off somewhere.

you can hardly steal a huge leaf or flower, you can easily steal a nugget

I'm not a true advocate either, but I love pretending to be and making it into jokes.

It has nothing to do with danger its just because weed is more widespread and is more of a public debate issue there are a bunch more laws and they are stricter so you end up with a silly situation like this
