wow they used songs from afraid of monsters, a HL1 mod

Pretty terrible documentary. Had a few good parts, but it didn't back up any of the more controversial claims, and was inaccurate or misleading in a lot of areas.

It was pretty informative, but you'll always get a bit of bias.

I remember one day I got stupidly stoned off some really strong weed and I wasn't very nice at all. All they are saying is that this type of weed is dangerous for people who have a history of mental illness or have it running in their family. They said anyone else besides this minority anyone else are safe to use it.

Watched all of them. I'm still smoking weed. Fuck all of it. It just explains the possibilities but they're all really low anyway. I'm not addicted to it either. I've smoked weed everyday for the past 2 months and just stopped for 19 days right before Christmas started til now.

Is the 'holding in the smoke longer wont give your lungs longer time to get all the THC from the smoke' thing, true?

This is scary to watch high, wow.

Ironically, I watched this in bed last night, whilst high. Was pretty cool. Nice to see a non-biased documentary about it, although they never clarified if it's really good or bad for you. Just showed the pros and cons and leave it up to the audience I suppose.

If it became legal, I'd try it. But it wouldn't become a daily thing for me. But how do people even get weed?

[QUOTE=MisterM;27299206]What exactly was inaccurate or misleading?[/QUOTE] Just a quick bit off of what I remember off the top of my head. Somewhere towards the beginning they said that our bodies are made to take in cannabis. That isn't true, our bodies do have cannabinoid receptors which do interact with the active ingredients in cannabis, but these receptors have normal functions in the body and aren't just there for cannabis. I may be picking that apart a little much, but it is going to mislead people. When ingested THC gets transformed by the liver into another form of THC that is more potent. For some reason they didn't point that out and they randomly went on about the munchies. Ingested weed usually offers more of a body high, and is far more intense. They put some random facts in and never really explained them which is very annoying. For example: holding the smoke in for 15 seconds or more being a myth. Ok, why is it a myth? We can assume that it is because the active chemicals are absorbed at a fast rate and that holding it in longer after a certain period won't absorb anymore. But what is the time needed? There is a certain use of language being used that tries to indicate particular dangers, particularly of becoming too high. It's not particularly any kind of danger because it is something you can just sleep off. I understand that it is a documentary and they don't want to make it seem harmless, but they also shouldn't dramatize lesser parts. The whole thing about skunk weed makes me cringe a bit. The media did something bad with that to make it seem like it is somehow very different from regular weed. It's like there is coke, and there is crack cocaine and in this case, it's like there is weed, and there is skunk weed. They could have just classified them as sativas and and indicas. Skunk weed as defined in this situation, is just a potent sativa. When the girl gets tested with the skunk weed I'd say much of the test of invalid. It doesn't make sense to ask questions to people when they are under influence of a drug that is likely to make them more suggestible. The girl even tried to point that out, that when she was being asked the question that she would experience it. In my opinion, the only significant finding is that THC tends to make people more suggestible. I have to ask the question, why would they use an alternate test to the typical test for mental disorders? To me, the answer is clearly that the other test didn't produce the results that they wanted. They may have a point that certain strains may be more likely to have an effect on mental illness, but the testing method is bad. Onto addiction, they pointed out that some guy is dependent on weed, they pointed out that 10% of people may become addicted to weed (10% is also the percentage of people with addictive personalities), but they never really explained it scientifically. Is the addiction physical like with cocaine and heroin? They seemed to be avoiding that. I could go on a bit more, but I won't. If I said something inaccurate, point it out and clarify.
