As a mj patient who suffers from "regular ass adult stress", and "had a long day" syndrome. I can say that cannibas has certainly helped my symptoms.

I suffered severe depression several years ago. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

It is so refreshing to see an educated, non-emotional, non-political discussion about these substances. I agree that we need to stop vilifying them and start really studying them so we can learn their risks and benefits. Love your channel.

Props to the brave volunteer who let us see the insides. I hope he’s back alive and well.

I’ve had a severe eating disorder for 8 years and I entered a treatment program and THC has been the only appetite stimulant that not only helped me develop a sense of hunger, but eased my anxiety surrounding food. 10/10 Edit: firstly, thanks so much for the likes and supportive comments! And I know a lot of comments are calling the hunger munchies, which was accurate at first, but I need to clarify something. I was (technically still am but in recovery) anorexic for 8 years, which made me lose my sense of hunger. I had not experienced a hunger cue until I started treatment, even when smoking. Developing a consistent eating schedule was what created a distinct sense of hunger that was beyond munchies. I honestly thought it was more painful than anything. It was so odd that I described the feeling to my partner and he was like confused because it was normal to feel hunger for him. THC was more for my anxiety about eating food, but it did give me the munchies when I started eating regularly. I hope this answers some of the confusion

As a physician I've been prescribing phytocannabinoids almost everyday with plenty of results amongst a long sort of diseases, symptons and health conditions. Your video is golden piece of work!

Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.

I know this vid has been out a long time, but as a nurse and lifetime learner, I absolutely love this channel! One of my favorite parts of medicine is the long and sometimes difficult names of things. I also know that we pronounce things very differently than other people in the same fields. I just have never heard this term (cannabinoids) pronounced the way you do. I hear yours as 'canna-buh-noids'. I've most frequently heard it pronounced 'cuh-NAB-uh-noids'. Isn't it funny how differently they can sound? Sort of like aluminum being pronounced so differently within the English language. This was a very interesting video. My brother went from 25-30 seizures a month to only 4 in the last 6 years since beginning regular use of cannabis. It has literally changed his life when all the pharmaceuticals failed him for nearly 20 years! Food for thought 😊

Woah dried body parts? Hold up, I need to roll a joint for this convo 🌿💨 Edit: 6.1k potheads in 2024 Y'all are wild 😆

This was a beautiful, unbiased and very educational approach towards looking at the endocannabinoid systems. It also explains why Indica cannabis which has a higher level of cb2 binding is so successful in the treatment of auto immune issues and cancer.

As a 67 year old lifelong user of cannabis starting in my early twenties, I found this video very informative with understanding how cannabis works and affects my body. Health wise, I am doing very well for my age. I even had my medical doctor tell me that he could tell that I had never smoked cigarettes after listening to my lungs. I told him that he was correct. That was about ten years ago. Anyway, your non bias attitude coupled with providing facts that educate, made the decision to subscribe to your channel a no brainer. I will look forward to other cannabis vids as researchers discover more about this amazing plant and it’s properties. 🍻

I’m an EMT and I absolutely love and adore this channel. Understanding the human body is extremely helpful for my job, but not only that, the amount of similarities in our bodies and astronomy is astounding. Not just that, but life all over earth in all forms. Really makes you think. Thanks for this info

Thank you so much for this video. A bit of background as to why this is so meaningful to me. I was diagnosed with a tumor growing on my vagus nerve, scientifically a Glomas Vagale Paraganglioma. It is very rare, but thankfully it is slow growing and not cancerous. The tumor is over 8 cm × 6 cm x 3 cm, with tentacles that grow out of it. It s I'm a very small space, and presses on my brain stem and my spinal cord. Needless to say it is extremely painful. I lost the use of my left side, lost my ability to swallow because my left vocal chord is paralyzed, and more. I had to retire from my job as a federal law enforcement officer. Doctors prescribed lots of opiods and Benzodiazepines to help with the anxiety of knowing there is something in your head that is going to kill you.. after years of this, I was a veritable zombie, and so I quit using them. But that really brought back the pain. I didn't even get much sleep, because no matter how I laid on my pillow I was putting pressure on the tumor and surrounding nerves. I could sleep for about an hour. I was constantly exhausted and in terrible pain. Enter cannabis, in edible form. I grew up in the 70s and 80s, yet I had never even tried cannabis. My job, plus my time in the Army precluded any cannabis use. About 5 years ago, my doctor and I had a very long conversation. I was at my wits end and contemplating ending my life. We began talking about cannabis, I did tons of research, and my doctor wrote a prescription for me. It has literally saved my life. I can manage the pain, with no addiction, no feeling like a zombie, and the THC is a little bonus, since I don't drink alchohol. I have become an advocate for its use , especially for older people, my age or older. (I'm 56) we grew up being taught it was the devil's lettuce. It was a gateway drug, which it is not. I've never had the slightest desire to stick a needle in my eyelid and shoot up heroin. I make all of my own edibles, from butter, to candies to MCT oil infusions, all made with natural ingredients. And a freely will give them to others I know who are suffering from chronic pain. I do always tell them to talk with their doctor first. I have even begun growing my own Indica strains to use in my edibles. Cannabis has such amazing properties, and I am so grateful you made this video. Science rocks. So does your channel by the way.

I'm a disabled veteran and I've been using cannabis for decades to treat inflammation from a myopathy, as well anxiety from PTSD. Thank you for so clearly explaining the science behind how it works!

I just started after not smoking for 41 years. Cannibus has helped me relax. And that is what I need right now in my life

As an adult I see my childhood abuse an over reliance and use of the fight and flight syndrome. When your living in this syndrome having to fight or flight or weighing up situations in this heightened level of fear you end up scarring your mind. Look at it like this, your life is a field of grass most people stroll through the field aimlessly, sitting, picking flowers, climbing trees having the great picnic of life. In my formative years I ran over the same path, the shortest, easiest, safest path and I wore away the grass and carved a runway into the earth. I did this because it saved my life and hurt others before I got hurt. I fought or I ran. It put a scar into the Earth of my mind and soul. But as an adult, in charge of my choices, I know this and this awareness keeps me away from the path and the potential dangers that could make me stray close to the path. It's still there, muddy and filled with pitfalls but my knowledge of it keeps me clear. Although, metaphorically its explainable, unless you "know" you can never really know.

My grandma had cannabis oil when she got a malignant tumor on her left lung, now I know why she got it because it probably helped to ease the pain and treatment. Unfortunately she passed away in 2018

I've been consuming THC for about a decade and this video explained a lot to me, especially the difference in receptors between species. My medium sized dog got a hold of my 50mg (that would be like consuming 2500mg or 2.5g's for an adult human with no tolerance) edibles and poor guy couldn't move for 12 hours. We called the vet and said to make sure he would keep breathing. He did fine and was super energetic once he fully came back to Earth.

I have PTSD and I’m smoking a bowl right now watching this video. Loving every minute of it. Love the video. Had A lot of info.
