has anyone else seen this shit? National geographic channel just ran an episode of their drug series "Drugged: High on Marijuana" and it is so full of crap. Here it is on Youtube if you want to watch it in it's entirety. http://youtu.be/T0EHSnGYPTY
Anyways, they are smart in this one and aren't telling bold face lies like normal, but they are finding obscure examples and jumping to lots of conclusions. there are many times in the show when they say "It has been estimated" Which is obviously a way to make up statistics when you don't want to acquire or quote the real ones. In one case they throw in "It has been estimated that after only trying marijuana one time 9% of people are addicted"! Holy crap, yeah right. Now pot is worse than crack? OMG is this a load of crap. and on their 9% I didn't even here it clear enough to know if it was 9 or 90% they were saying. I had to rewind the dvr! I think that was an intentional long 9 in there.
They had some guy talking about how he was terribly addicted to marijuana since he was 13, and had to resort to dealing and how he lost his first wife because she didn't smoke and he still wanted to... sniff sniff blubberfest!
Another point they are talking about how marijuana breeders are breeding for more thc and less cbd. Great, I think we all know that. Then they take some bi-weekly pot smoker who claims that sometimes she gets psychosis depending on the marijuana she uses. They have her smoke hers and she is good to go (7% thc and .4 cbd), and then they have her smoke some synthesized pure thc and she is feeling different and showing signs of psychosis. But they sneak in that she is now smoking synthesized tch and not even natural cannabis!!!! UGGG this is such bullshit and people who are curious and want to hear how bad marijuana is will gleen a very bad message from this video even though, again, the facts are heavily manipulated to push an agenda. They rag out mmj, recreational, you name it. when they talk about how the tch molecules attach to the brain receptors they actually compare the thc to terrorists attacking the brain! They take the littlest negatives about mj use and try to make them seem like the crack epidemic of the 90s. At one point they follow these 4 kids around as they walk through the woods after eating some pot cookies. At one point they are trying to cross this little ditch with a trickle of water running through it and the narrator makes it seem like these poor delusional lads see this as the grand canyon! If you look at these fucking dorks for one second it would not seem a surprise that they may have a hard time jumping across a 3' ditch! But no, its the pot!
This is a fully laid out gameplan for the opposition. In this video they are laying out all of the current anti-pot arguments and giving us the ammunition we need to argue them. They make it look scientific with inner body computer graphics and people in lab coats. Anyone who has anything good to say about mj is edited out of the film. The only somewhat positive thing is the person testing for addictive quality (people only ever had a hard time falling a sleep for a few days in the test) did manage to say "obviously these effects aren't life threatening" and a psychologist stated that is was absolutely non toxic, but that is it and they were certainly not highlighted points. This literally made me sick to my stomach watching this crap last night.
We are so in need of a pro-pot use, mainstream video now. Woody? Where are you buddy! Time to do another documentary.
