This needs to played in every school ! Excellent presentation!
Your wrong
She is speaking truth, guys! Just listen with an open mind because I've been experiecing everything she mentions and I've been smoking weed for 12+ years! It can definitely do some harm, if you're not careful with it or you are too obsessed with it. I didn't even want to go anywhere if I didn't have for a joint or two with me. I don't think my mind is as sharp as it used to be, but when I quit for around 4 months or so, my mind was so sharp and not foggy like before, it was great. I need to stop smoking, it's enough, really. It's so much fun though, that's the thing. The movies are better while stoned, when you get to hang out in nature, in the summertime, for example, weed is fun. But if you're abusing it then it's not as fun anymore. I got psychologically addicted to it. Like you can get addicted to coffee, or fast food, or whatever ... but I think it's even worse than that because of the high procentage of THC, that can really mess you up in the long run. And don't even get me started about how much money I spend on weed! And I'm always complaining how I don't have money to do anything fun, like travel, take trips, visit different museums and stuff, help animals, etc. I appreciate this video, thank you for speaking on important topics! Only immature people will have a problem with this video. :)
It definitely affected your brain.... "F" for spelling !!!!
yes baby 👶 😘 😍 💕 ❤️ ❤️ 💖 fx z..
Looking at the comments I can't stop realizing that people would rather sit trying to find excuse for their addiction by even going against science & nature of their bodies.
I came here to learn about the dangers of vaping in general because many of my kids friends in jr high and high school are juuling and talking about it. But, this was such a great talk, explained so well, I wish every young person could listen to her. It’s not about just being able to “just say no”. Education on drugs and the brain is the way to approach the teen instead of scare tactics.
The jewels and boxes you see the kids with are vapeing nicotine mixed with e juice for flavor the marijuana carts (look them up) these are what is bad and horrible being smoked in vape form and not the regular way you would think in the 80's this vape form is what is killing most likely the older generation dont know theres a difference and I smoke marijauna
Cannabis is the safest substance on earth we evolved with the plant more so mushrooms but still an if growing clean like food you'd eat your gonna be ok
Yeah im lookin into this right now Cus, ion wanna fuck my brain up yaknow
Brilliant talk, thank you.
Wish someone came to my school and had this talk
No you dont cause that lady will get laughed at by everyone who really knows what marijuana is
@@perrymunoz6133 hahaha what you’re basically implying is that kids who are still in school will know more than a doctor about the topic of drugs and it’s psychological effects? Interesting point of view
@@adriananavarro5643 yes exactly that's what I'm saying because to no the effects or the experiences something gives you, you have to have first hand knowledge if your just reading a bunch of assumed facts on a paper and go around people who have actually experienced the subject talked about your gonna make your self look like an idiot educated or not it doesn't matter and your not gonna catch anyone's attention to listen, because they already know that your saying bull shit and you have no first hand experience and what she is saying is just based off of mere research which when it comes to drugs is a second hand source of information which usally is less reliable then first hand sources or in this case people actually experiencing the drug.
@@adriananavarro5643 did I just make you feel dumb don't worry it last too long
@@perrymunoz6133 I can answer for that person, no point in arguing with idiots. Any person with a similar attitude to yours will not turn out to be a smart person. Research is based on MRI scans done on cannabis users. When someone does an MRI scan on 100 cannabis users and 100 abstainers, that person will find out, that statistically, cannabis users have abnormal brains in comparison to abstainers. Especially, if you use it in adolescence. In conclusion, the research is not hypothetical but is based on brain imaging. frequent cannabis/drug users are way less likely to make it to the university and find it harder to understand topics that require higher cognitive function and a good memory. Therefore, there is a good chance, that you have brain damage too, at least in comparison to abstainers Anyways, I drink bleach every day, therefore I know more about bleach than you do! Do not trust what anyone else says about bleach! It is good for your health! You should try it too! It is good for the digestive system! Do not listen to scientists! They are bribed by the Big anti-bleach!
lol I know this is a little off topic, but now we need to get the next generation to sense the dangers of debt.
People who avoid weed are more open to not getting in debt
Excellent. Just Tweeted to my site. TY
Thank you for explaining my life and why I could never give up my addiction of nicotine. Now I am just mad that I was ever exposed to this crap. I can tell you to never vape or smoke young or you too will be 61 wishing you could quit too. This doctor is amazing.
We talked because my grandson came home high he apologized for coming home high we talked very calmly I love you I told him I had to right to searches your room whenever I wanted you know I found something vibrating so I ask what's this he know what I found so we talked about weed so he said it makes him focus I told him I was very hurt with him because I want him to make smart choices and life so he ask what are you going to do love you no matter what I don't approve of smoking weed or of any drugs I will have my grandson listen to this with I'm sure he knows all that you said Thank you
22:50…. “Todays marijuana is more addictive then nicotine)”Finally someone said it!
this is absolutely not true just so yk
McDonald’s is one of those addictive foods
wow it got highlighted
Thank you so much for this video. Well presented for teens and hits on all relevant topics including vaping and high TCH. I have been looking for this type of presentation. Thank you!
Tch?? You sure you ain't smokin

Wow
Very nice!
anyone else here because of health class?
me
yep 💀
I came here to know about the side effects of vaping, especially with Propylene glycol.
Good talk by the way.
Propylene Glycol is both antibacterial and antiviral, which is probably why it is used in nebulizers. The World Health Organization recommends a maximum intake of 11.4 mg of propylene glycol per pound of body weight (25 mg/kg) per day. Unless someone weighs a pound & vapes 24 hours per day it is impossible to vape anywhere close to toxic levels of PG.
Vapeing and marijuana vape are different if you look up marijuana carts you'll see that's the vape starting to kill kids the kids you see walking around with boxes are vapeing too but vaping nicotine mixed with e juice for flavor the new marijuana carts are very bad and I smoke marijuana
@@perrymunoz6133 so vapeing weed is not good or what ? With a very high quality vape ,no oils
Thank you for an excellent presentation, I will be looking for more from you. I recently attended a training by Dr. Paul Baker and asked how marijuana effected brain development and he did not have an answer for me, hence my online search for an answer. I work with adolescents and specialize in addiction.
Ok well here's your first lesson I been smokeing weed since I was 14 and now at 21 I'm getting ready to graduate college become a welder and get a home and another thing most people can quit smokeing marijauna easier then any other drug so hows that considered and addiction please explain and it has no effect on brain development it only kills brain cells for someone in the field you are in you should know this but the u.s always has people who dont know anything about the subject working on that exact subject
And this is a horrible source of information on marijuanna sorry to tell you
And it's funny cause weed has been the best feeling that I have had it gets rid of my back pain after work it helps with stress and relaxes me it gets me through the tough end of my day. And I've been smoking since I was 15 and I have no wrong functions to my brain I've been able to remember. And to get this response out of marijuana is shocking cause if I remember correctly cannabis actually in study's shown majority of people are beating Cancer cause of marijuana.
Perry Munoz true my withdrawal effects were just insomnia
@@perrymunoz6133 That's like saying "hey, I smoke cigarettes, but I'm healthy, I don't have cancer. ha!" , just because some of the people don't develop such issues, that doesn't mean the vast majority of all the other people don't as well - they do! And it's very harmful to the brain. Look, I've been smoking weed since I was 14/15 every day, I'm 27 now, still finishing school, honestly I am not living a very productive life and it started to really bother me around 2-3 years ago. I also developed severe anxiety (also because of family and money problems) and although weed helps me sleep, I don't think it's doing be a whole lot of good anymore, at this point. Whenever I'm trying to quit I get these horrible headaches and it's just awful. After a month or two I'm starting to feel better again. I don't know why I always start smoking again - it's like I forget about the bad and only remember the good, which I miss, and I start smoking again. But I'm sensing a shift in my mentality/mind set ... I think it was finally enough. Maybe I'll smoke one when I''m an old lady. :)
Read Puff Piece by John Safran about the vaping industry and big tobacco
I watched the whole thing while smoking a blunt 😣 #shameonme
There's a lot about how marijuana is addictive when you're a teen, but they really glossed over why it's bad to actually have it as a teen. From what I gathered it:
1. Cuts the amount of dopamine your body can naturally produce
2. Prevents your brain from expanding, but how?
A. It's about exerience with humans, how does that fit with HOW cannabis works on the brain? B. You want to turn on the learning switch in your brain then you are life learners and have a love for learning then you are set for life...
McDonald’s does the same
Fast food does the same
Caffeine does the same and causes way more damage than marijuana
Pain pills such as aspirin and ibuprofen is way worse and they cause overdose on it
And marijuana is a plant
Pain pills are made in a lab you know what other drugs are made in a lab meth,
And doctors who don’t put facts into context and mis inform children about the human brain damages the brain more than any amount of weed could
@@tyjo1958 you are in denial and addicted to weed
@@emmajane646 I sure am
My nephew needs support for addition at 13 can you steer us in the right direction for support and supplements.
I wish i know this at this age I dnt lose my life......
I didn’t and still use substances moderately,almost like it’s deeper than the drug itself and is a mental health matter
“like nicotine or marijuana or *HEROIN* “
i didnt notice that. Can you give me the time stamp i got to know if she said that. That would be hilarious
Just for the record mountain due has always been caffeine free unless they recently started 2 add it...i will check now just go be 100% sure
Apparently there are versions of mountain dew with caffeine , However here in nyc I have only saw the caffeine free version my whole life...We learn something new every day lol

Anyone else watching this for probation?
I agree vapeing marijauna is very bad for you which is why I no longer smoke the carts but smokeing marijuana the normal way is the best
Perry Munoz get the medical “pure” carts. They’re called pure in the CT medical cannabis dispensaries. No pj/vg and the oil is decarbed so it’s an edible if you want as well!! I don’t know how I got here
I.dont understand u what u talking ? Werd is full.of other things , vape filteriz it , i dont talk abaut oils.only weed , explain me.pls , im thinking to.buy the mighty the BEST . im a sportman but somethimes smokeing weed , i need explain
@@zoltanzoltan303 what are you looking for exactly for pain
@@zoltanzoltan303 CBd is another chemical component of marijuana just like thc but doesent get you high it's more used for pain and has done really well inside the medical world as for cannabis oils like carts I dont like those cause they hurt my chest and people have been messing with them so I stick to regular marijauna or wax
@@perrymunoz6133 just to relax , thc weed
Marijuana is good !! but not for kids.
who else watching this high asf😂😂😂😂😂😂
Surprised by so few likes
15:10 - purpose of cannabinoids fro cell survival @ the moment of expression is down regulatory ... homeostasis of cellular signalling is a result of cannabinioid metabolism... in fact - cannabinoid receptors are the only cell receptors to go post to pre synaptic in their signalling.. known as retrograde signals... the plant cannabinoids are a form of that expression when man ingests them .
-1 for the Parkland anti-2A statement at 27:49, should have kept your message clean.
watching this high on weed
uhhh five year olds can ride bikes
there are ones with 1500
Ok so if I start vaping and decide I want to stop am I fucked for life, like if I stop it’s not gonna mess up my brain things forever right
No just stop asap
The younger you start, the more likely you are to become addicted for life. Stop now and hold off for a bit if you can.
The organic food part is wrong as well because they do lie about food being organic
I'm use after weed reached hospital that time something happened in brain now day I'm suffering my brain have inside something happened like press inside brain and also high pressure doctor said its may be chemical change help me I'm so scare may be stroke.i thing may be come mental problems.
What happened?
Are you serious or was this a prank joke?
I know what you mean if goes away I think
Why in the fuck would you talk to them about marijuana or pills before they even know about it and then tell them that it gives them a massive spike in dopamine. Are you trying to make them want to use drugs?
I am being forced to watch this
me too
me too.
Me too
Me too
Same
ok lol *hits dab pen*
Just breathe air
I rode a bike at 5 ...
What I learned: Drink more Mountain Dew.
Mountain Dew contains indeed, what Plants and Babies need.
I think this made me learn my lesson I need more THC and carbs
made in china ones got like 36ml
get me out of this class.
Gush, I can not imagine being her kid growing up....must be horrid experience listening to those lectures day after day...
id laugh tbh
Heck ? We have Miley Cyrus teaching our Elementary school kids sex ed. Why not weed ?
This is good but way to long
LOL.. Dr. Ruth ? it went from sex to weed ?
This is so dumb she’s only spreading lies she is saying marijuana is addictive and is on the same level as heroine and she thinks it’s worse than alcohol, all this did was make me want to smoke more because she didn’t spread any knowledge she just told me what I already know.
Yeah, she’s so dumb she has a medical degree that took 7 years of studying hard to achieve and all the scientific data to back up what she’s saying while you’re over there closing your mind to information that could actually help you.
False information thc is a Neuroprotective drug, not a neurotoxin. This is the exact opposite of what you said
ok boomer
Call your poison control center.. ask how marijuana affects teenagers brain development.
But you won't, because you're the professional here😊
Ok boomer
This shit was so hard to watch. So much wrong information and personal bias
you may be right, but kids shouldn’t be doing drugs in any way shape or form. it’s a different story for adults.
What was wrong?
Marijuana is not bad in small doses, higher doses will just get you high as a kite. Marijuana is not addictive. I have experience and this lady do not know what marijuana does. Marijuana through vaping is clean. You get wiser with marijuana but "intelligent" people like her will tell you that you are dumb because you get wiser then them. You will understand whats important and whats not under the influence. Enjoy life and marijuana is life. The sword of Truth will cut down the liars and haters of marijuana.
Bruh I ain't even anti marijuana and you sound full of shit like c'mon you sound delusional
@@neon4635 well have you tried it and meditated? If not the you should go and try and learn the truth.
@@adem9g I have tried it and it is very relaxing but that doesnt mean it's the life blood of the world. If it was the "truth" it wouldn't be a drug you take it would be a natural feeling. I can meditate in real life and feel much better afterwards then when taking weed because I dont need weed to feel good I just take it to decrease anxiety very occasionally.
@@neon4635 first of its not a drug, its a plant. Cocaine,morphine is a drug. It is the life blood of this world. It connects you with the heavens. Why do you think its listed as a drug? Becuase its better then most prescription medicins out there. The government wouldt make as much money as they can by the bad drugs they create, thet want you to depend on them and not yourself. People can grow it at home, they can get out of stress, enjoy life. Cannabis is part of this life and should be respected and not hated. Cannabis opens up your mind and they want to close it to controll you.
@@adem9g you sound like a conspiracy theorist. Cannabis can be great for people and definetly shouldnt be hated it has plenty of great effects on people's lives but it isnt for everyone and it does stunt some brain development in teens which is important to know whether or not you think it's the life blood of the world. Just cause it's great doesnt mean it's perfect and everyone deserves to know what they are doing to their brains when taking substances like cannabis the good and the bad.
