As state-legalized cannabis spreads, NOVA explores its little-known risks and benefits.
NOVA investigates the story of cannabis from the criminalization that has disproportionately harmed communities of color to the latest medical understanding of the plant. What risks does cannabis pose to the developing brain? How much do we know about its potential medical benefits? As cannabis becomes socially accepted, scientists are exploring its long-term health consequences.

    childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them

    I'm 17, have had a medical card for the last year, and finished highschool early and started college 2 years ago. I'm working towards a Ph.D in Anthropology with an emphasis on Archaeology. All while smoking weed almost every day. People who say it makes them lazy and unmotivated are more likely just stuck in a lazy unmotivated state of mind that's perpetuated by the use of thc all day every day. However, in those of us who are motivated and enjoy learning and being productive, marijuana (in moderation) is a great way to unwind at the end of the day, or give you a bit of a pickup/creativity boost (depending on the strain). If anything smoking weed has deepened my interests in ancient civilizations and the many cultures in the world. It's great seeing first hand that long term hard work and cannabis use can go hand in hand and I'm not just gonna burn out in the next few years 😂

    I had cancer when I was a teenager and smoking weed was the only thing that helped with the nausea I had from chemotherapy. Cannabis is now entirely legal in all of Canada. I have three high quality cannabis shops within walking distance of my apartment in Toronto. They are government licensed and regulated. I know exactly what I'm buying and what doses, and I know it is good quality. The people against legalization of cannabis should explain why they are for the legalization of cigarettes and alcohol and not cannabis.

    A man once told me about his daughter who was injured in car accident as a young child. She began to have 50+ seizures per day from that accident. The medicine the doctors gave her did next to nothing and cost the family and insurance over $10,000.00 per month. After taking out a second mortgage this man ended up speaking about this issue with an older man who he described as a old Hippie (in the kind way, not as a derogatory term). The Hippie gave this man a few joints and said have your daughter smoke these and she will improve right away. The man took the joints home, his daughter had a couple of hits each night and the seizures dropped down to just a couple per day and they were very mild. Of course the joints ran out. So this father started sourcing more for his daughter. She has taken just a hit or two before bed each night since and her seizures are gone. She was able to grow into a fully functioning adult with a complete and happy life. It breaks my heart to see the boy in this story who has permanent brain damage from not getting access to Cannabis. In my own experience, being at parties, the people smoking pot were just happy go lucky, talked about deep subjects and could sober up in time to drive home with no issues. The people drinking however got aggressive, loose and frequently vomited. Not always in the toilet either. They had to be fought with to not drive or the cops had to be called on them. I have never felt at risk around people smoking pot. But I was almost raped by a drunk man and had way too many unwanted, aggressive advances forced on me by drunks.

    I started at 12 also. Sadly, I became an opioid addict. I became addicted, not because weed was the gateway drug but because doctors prescribed them to me, and it was me going back to weed later in life that helped me to get off what became heroin addiction. It was the gateway out. Weed has so many possibilities to help people in different ways. It definitely shouldn't be demonized like it has been.

After starting to use cannabis, I can finally get full nights of sleep.

I’m only allowed six plants now by county regulation. Not allowed to start a business and a farm similar to a grape farmer and winery. The laws are being made for corporations who don’t care about anything but profit. It’s a complete joke.

    Cannabis is truly unparalleled; this powerful plant has demonstrated its potential to alleviate certain conditions more effectively and safely than some pharmaceutical drugs. What's more, it's a remarkably user-friendly plant to cultivate. Anyone can grow it at home within a relatively short time frame, and advances in technology, such as LEDs and grow tents, are making the process even simpler. This accessibility is one reason why complete control over this plant is unlikely. From a cultural perspective, no other plant or substance has been as globally celebrated throughout history. It's a significant part of our human experience and it's time we acknowledge and embrace this fact.

People make it out to be real simple but if you've ever grown it yourself you know it takes money to make a decent product and to solve some of the issues you may face while growing.

    In summary: weed should still be illegal till more complete studies have been performed; justice system not broken as ppl willingly choose to brake laws and deserve the consequences they inflicted on themselves (if you brake the law stop complaining as its your fault for being a criminal) ; different forms of weed have different effects so don't ignorantly say smoking it is the same as all other forms. Only positive studies are when ppl ingest it not smoke it.

    I get really bad pains in my hands and fingers, idk if it's gout or arthritis but smoking has helped me more than anything. It's also helped me with my anxiety, depression and suicidality and it's kept me off of heroin and helps me socially. I smoke about a half ounce a week or so. I learned after my heroin addiction that moderation is key, I was even able to maintain a stable life with a meth addiction through moderation before I eventually stopped. I got high but never over did it or did the criminal things most meth addicts engage in. I was a normal person that liked feeling like I had all the energy in the universe.

    Oral CBD sprays up here in Canada usually come in MCT oil, which allows a much lower dose to be absorbed fast into the system. My father had a cerebral accident some years ago, and has been suffering from neuropathy ever since, where a slight brush on his skin to him now feels like an intense burn, and has constant pain in his right arm... He's 82, and already on a whole bunch of pills, most of which he takes in the morning... I bought him some MCT+CBD oral spray, and with as little as 5mg of CBD (two sprays), after dinner, he immediately (within the hour) feels less pain in his arm. I told him to start low dose to see if he had any side effects. The main issue now is tolerance, it works for 2-3 days but then has no effect until he stops using it for a day or two. He wasn't sure how much he could take so he just left it at that. I just told him to bring up the dose until he gets the effect he wants, and that he could basically chug the whole bottle and nothing bad would happen... For the record, he was prescribed some THC pills before by his doctor, so it's not a danger with his current meds, but he didn't like it because it made him feel loopy and paranoid (my dad never smoked weed before).

    Surprise, surprise, surprise! We have legal weed here in Canada, now. I never thought I would see a world where I can legally walk down the street with smoking a doobie! The system they created though is a complete farce! The rules they put in place make it so you need a boatload of cash just to get a greenhouse started as every aspect is heavily regulated and controlled. They didn't allow the black market growers into the system so most of the people growing "legal" weed were amateurs and there were mold issues and quality issues from the start. Since they didn't create a system to allow those black market growers in (guys who have been grower for decades, with tons of knowledge and experience), we still have an enormous black market, thankfully! Quality and price is far superior to the overly dry crap they sell at the legal dispensaries. Price is at least double what I can by it for and sometimes even closer to triple the price. Weed is so dry it usually grinds to a dust, making it sh!t to smoke!

However, sometimes, depending upon my environment/situation, the wine might make me a little too turned up and/or triggered. Another vet recently invited me to spend the week out of town. I was concerned at first, but determined to chill out. He gave me a 100mg edible. I took about a 20mg bite of it, just in case (he was actually trying to get me to eat 2 whole ones; but I had already had a cognac and cola.) I was so relaxed, once that edible kicked in!! I was laughing, eating, and drinking water more than usual. It was bliss. I had no anxiety, but a good night and good sleep 🥰😁

    Why doesn't "The Cannabis Question" address hemp for it's full value? Industrial fiber crops will drive economic understanding of the single question of the demonization of cannabis as a consumable. Cannabis only as a consumable also tends to ignore nutritional value of the plant from leaves to seeds. Thousands of viable uses have been denied because cannabis is only considered as a consumable with biological affect. What about economic impacts? What about cannabis as a wholly denied asset to society for all that it is and offers? Let's do an equal show about the vastness of cannabis uses applied broadly to society and economy. Patent-able medicines are only one field of exploiting the asset of Cannabis. A series of how cannabis can compete in many markets would be greatly educational and forward looking. Hemp for paper compared to current fiber? Cannabis for nutrition compared to peanuts or lettuce? Hemp compared to trees and their industrial uses? Hemp to cotton? Cannabis cellulose? It's time to tell the world about Cannabis and ALL it offers to humanity and where it is the most viable for every market as an asset.

    Alcohol is by far the most destructive and deadly drug consumed. Look at the stats. In the U.S. alone Alcohol is involved in 260 deaths a day. A DAY ! Much more than any other drug. 88,000 alcohol deaths a year . Compare that to the total of all annnual street drug deaths combined , which is 33,000.

    ❤ I have a friend who is 58. She has been a cannabis consumer since she was 13. She was born a scrawny, sickly kid, and she swears it saved her life. She said at 13 she weighted 93 pounds at 5'5". That she hurt all over, and had frequent headaches, and not appetite. She said cannabis stopped the headaches. Helped with the body aches. And helped her gain and maintain some weight. And had helped her for 45 years. I started as a consumer at 27. It has also helped me with pain & loss of appetite with hypothyroidism.

    2:52 do they make these tanks in adult human sizes? asking for a friend. :) on a serious note, can't believe it was legalized in my state in my lifetime, but it's changed my life. Used to miss work regularly with chronic low back pain when my back would tighten up. I used to put electrodes on my back and "gently electrocute" myself. That slowly helped, but being able to walk and move around due to lessened pain usually means its better quick enough to not miss work. and then there's the various mental issues it alleviates, like dealing with human people all day. :)

    Alcoholic here! I’ve got 2 years sober… I struggle with calling myself SOBER because I smoke lots of pot. But, I chose the lesser of two evils. I have a long history of pot use that started with my graduation of high school EARLY after failing a grade because of my ADHD symptoms. Once I realized it helped me so much, I continued to smoke. I’ve been arrested numerous times, fired, not hired and just looked down on, but I still smoke it.

    Like many, I grew up being told it was evil. If you look at it from a moral standpoint, yes it can lead to some dark stuff. Two things made me change my mind. 1. If we ban cannabis then why is alcohol allowed? You could easily argue alcohol is far far worse for society. 2. As with many things, moderate use can be beneficial. I started using CBD products, saw their major benefits. Took a look at other substances, like caffeine, that when used correctly offer great boons. I learned cannabis doesn't sit in this little "evil zone" while the other substances are somehow "better". Everything is a substance your body uses in some way. Some are beneficial in certain doses, some are poison (alcohol). My state recently started passing a pro-cannabis resolution and for once...I agree with the opposite side of the aisle as it were.

    Im a carpenter of 26 years. If you removed all the tradespersons that smoke pot, there would be no skilled carpenters to build for the elite! I’ve been working in an exclusively high end market my entire career. My typical clients are doctors, lawyers, high achieving (literally!) professionals and academics. Many of these people smoke pot in privacy hidden away from their professional peers. I find their hidden pipes they stashed in a “safe place” from their kids regularly! It’s hilarious! Once I walked into a laundry room and found a pink crystal pipe freshly packed with one hit taken off it. This person was worth hundreds of millions of dollars I want to mention. The client snuck in after I viewed the work and lent to grab my tools. When I got back, presto! It was gone. Too late! Busted! You’re a stoner, just like us! So let’s all kick back and realize we are all the same already. 🙏
