Emens Travels I’m glad to hear it. My first doses will begin next week. Hope it works as well.

Emens Travels what brand do you use?

Oh man i wish i could do that, living in finland i might never get to try CBD based withdrawing :(

I can't hit like enough times. Happy for you Emens

What CBD do you use ? I've tried loads that haven't worked.

Screw Kmart when its legal we can grow it

I wonder what percentage of people are killed by drunk drivers compared to those with THC in there system? 🤔

RELAXADO thank you!

Of course they did!!!😑

They will be taking and monopolies the seeds changing the seed strains, so we the public can’t grow are own. Just like the conglomerates do with corn.

Kevin Y Fact.

The fed is just trying to stop you from burning a hole in your pocket.

@@sthomas7211 yeah that's why they fine you

Sounds like a plan...👉👍

THC is just as medical as CBD, even more so for certain conditions... the prison system needs THC to be BAD BAD BAD

There are many compounds besides just THC and CBD in marijuana, the fact that we haven’t done enough research means that we may be missing out on crucial compounds that help specific ailments.

alcohol does not stop seizures in tiny babies though... cannabis does... no comparison whatsoever... the LD50 rating for alcohol is severely low... LD50 for cannabis hardly registers at 50,000 to one

It should be kept out of the governments hands.

@@cosmopolitanwonder9675 Yup....after all, there's that government can't screw up.

Yet alcohol is legal, how many people do you think die per year from cirrhosis of the liver? How many people get drunk and kill people driving?

CBD is legal; has benefits and is not psychoactive (doesn't make you high/destroy brain cells).

NightsMay try CBD, which isn’t psychoactive.

@Kendra Stetler the problem with some full spectrum products is that some do not contain CBD, as they are extracted from parts of the hemp plant that have minuscule amounts or no CBD (which is expressed primarily in the flower and stalks), not the seeds of the hemp plant.

Don't smoke it, you don't need it. Not all herbs are compatible with EVERYONE. Same as lavender, garlic, echinacea, Horehound yellow dock, mint, slippery elm, Organo,lemon balm...I could go on and on. It is absolutely a medicine and should be respected as such. Do you take high blood pressure medication or acid reflux meds etc, if you don't need them?

Yesss

So true😝

Home brewing beer was illegal until the 1970's. Jimmy Carter made it legal.

Fully legal protects homegrowers, industry only makes you lazy, if you want good stuff, do it yourself, legally.

Janice Billington the point I was making was about the democratic initiative process happening state by state driving change and not federal legalization. The UK medical cannabis legalization happened in 2018.

Thank you, Michael, an incredibly accurate statement. I don't know if society is ready for blanket legalization. Sure it'll never be as dangerous as all those other manufactured painkillers, or alcohol and tobacco, some of the most harmful legal drugs in human history, but it's got dangers of its own. And we won't see those effects for decades.

Who needs peer reviewed science when Mike has anecdotal evidence and “seen it himself!”

Prodigysportsman because peer reviewed science says marijuana isn’t psychologically addictive??

@@mikedowd66 it claims it is not physically addictive... cannabis is psychologically addictive ( the act of use)

The receptors are native to the human body, cannabis just happens to produce molecules that interact with that system. This is the main reason why cannabis has such wide ranging effects, it works with a core human biological system that controls inflammation, appetite, anxiety, pain, pregnancy, etc. called the "endocannabinoid system"!

Your loss

Guiseppi Gambini I think you totally missed the point...

huh

Guiseppi Gambini SAD; When Legalized; Grow Your Own In Your Garden (next to your Roma tomatoes).

@@terrysavoy502 I don't think he did. Kelly is right, legalization is coming, but there are different definitions of legal. Given that the entire foundations for cannabis prohibition were based on fear (of foreigners and people of color), fraud (lying about its use in medicine and agriculture at the congressional hearings, and by using the prejudicial slang marihuana to trick farmers and doctors), and greed (Rockefeller and his big-pharma / allopathic MD industry and oil profits, Hearst and his timber holdings, and Anslinger and his anti-narcotic bureaucracy), it only seems right that true legalization must revert to the status quo ante. Anything less would perpetuate the damages of the ongoing prohibition and enrich unjustly parties who have benefited from the suffering and misery of the former prohibition. For example, hemp is now federally legal, but many states are making farmers jump through hoops and obtain licenses to grow a completely non-psychoactive plant. In 1936 no farmer needed to tell the government that they were growing cannabis. He did not have to fear arrest for failing to have paperwork in place and did not have to pay for a license to grow a plant that was given to all of us by nature and bred to such great usefulness by his forebearers. He didn't have to worry if he harvested his own seed for the next year and his THC levels bumped above 0.3%. True freedom and legalization is only achieved when one does not need permission to perform an act and to carry out ones livelihood, given the constraints of remaining within ones personal property and respecting the rights and properties of others. The cost of these licenses and pseudo-legalization are felt by people like Kelly's sister, Sasha. They pay a higher price than they would without the licenses. Even worse, they miss the opportunity to have people like Guiseppi involved in the production and hybridization and medicalization of this plant because he has principles, or the cost is too high for him to be involved. They also lose out on the many farmers who don't want the fear of messing up paperwork hanging over their head when just about every other crop doesn't have that kind of B.S. attached to it. I am glad that there are steps toward legalization, I am also particularly grateful for the opportunity for those who need this plant as medicine, but justice is not served to this plant and its users and potential producers until it is regulated or unregulated to the extent that other agriculture commodities are.

Anthony these speeches are highly curated and we're encouraged to abide by TED's core ethos: inspire viewers to question why, and seek further answers. There are many studies on the topic, including many speeches and even TED talks on cannabis. Yes, I am educated on the topic, and no, this was not the venue to reference studies, although my original script had several of them linked in footers. I disagree that this leads us nowhere, quite to the contrary, had you been present you'd have seen that many people there, and since have reached out to learn more. Many had no idea cannabis had ever been "medicine", and instead only known the stigma of it as an illegal substance. I respect your opinion, and can only ask you to see if from the perspective of it's intent: provide a history of cannabis as medicine, and reframe the stigma entrenched in nearly 50 years of prohibition in 13 minutes or less.

Terry Miler don’t fall for what???
