I watched the first 5 minutes of the video… the whole premise is flawed. “You need to quit weed (but we only mean the one super rare instance where a person can get hyper addicted)”
Well no shit, Dick Tracy. An addiction that ruins your life and causes issues should be quit regardless. You’re addicted to gambling? Seek help. You’re addicted to junk food? Seek help. You’re addicted to alcohol? Seek help
See the theme? It’s not the weed that is bad, it’s the addiction. Now don’t hear me as up here championing weed, it’s just like any other vice. Alcohol, tobacco, porn, gambling, food addiction, all can become addictive. However, all things in moderation, and it is not an issue until it starts ruling your life.
So either this video is a tongue and cheek and I missed the point, or it’s some “holier than thou” diatribe. Either way, I can absolutely see why you’re being down voted.
That video is constantly making “is causing” type statements, but I haven’t found a single one of their cited studies that claims a causal link every single one I looked at is just “is associated with” claims.
Their own sources even directly contradict what they’re saying in some of them.
They say:
Weed can damage your ability to regulate your emotions and can worsen anxiety or depressive feelings and can escalate into serious mental disorders.
Their source says:
Conclusion: The association between cannabis and anxiety is best explained by anxiety predisposing individuals toward CU as a method of self-medication. A causal relationship in which CU causes AD incidence is less likely despite multiple longitudinal studies suggesting so.”

Ok so people watch less than half of the video and then form strong opinions on it.
It’s definitely not a “holier than thou” diatribe
I watched the whole thing, it definitely is.

Good points thanks.
I haven’t looked at it like this, I’ll look into it more and see how valid anything is they are saying
