I often think it has to do with brain chemistry. Like most of the people that I know that are “fine” are those with already altered brain chemistry like mental illness such as depression, anxiety, etc. Most people who have normal brain chemistry have like panic attacks because their brain doesn’t need the “balancing” effect.

If you do this in the future, I have a very real question that I need answered. There’s plenty of study done on THC and CBD, but there are many other cannabinoids. Where can information of these be found? I have Essential Tremor with Parkinsonism, and I’ve seen in the past different studies that point to a specific cannabinoid(other than THC or CBD) being very effective for tremors. I would love to find out specifics on this and which strains are high in it.

Uhhhh purified CBD is not effective? I found this response to be lacking context. There is an FDA approved drug called Epidiolex used in the treatment of epilepsy/seizures that contains nothing but CBD. Pretty sure the people who use that drug and the doctors that prescribe it would disagree with this response.

I loved this video! My only quarrel was with the addiction question, which I felt was a bit biased of an answer. While it’s true that it’s not physically addictive and does not cause withdrawals, many have used the term “psychologically addictive” to say that they find it incredibly difficult to stop smoking, and always find a “reason” to keep smoking, no matter how dire the circumstances. As someone who’s been a smoker themselves, and surrounding by people who partake as well, I’ve seen it countless times where people just cannot quit smoking, even when they’re about to lose their car or something. That’s addiction.

Male plants DO have trichomes and DO produce cannabinoids, but not as abundantly as females. Also, trichomes are present on leaves, not just flowers, but again, to a far lesser extent and smaller size. The contents of the trichomes also differ between leaves and flowers.

Hey let me correct one thing about sativa/indica differences, actually the thing that does help distinguish them is the level of a terpene called Myrcene, apparently strains with levels greater than 0.5% of Myrcene are sativa and less than that are indica dominant since all we have are some kind of hybrids anyway.

I have a rare condition called Idiopathic Intercranial Hypertension and I use marijuana to help keep my cerebral fluid levels stable. It has to do the same thing with glaucoma and the eye pressure. Cerebral fluid puts pressure on the eyes and brain and when that pressure gets too much for my normal round of medicines, I just use a quick puff. Like a steroid inhalor but for my brain pressure. Luckily, I’m at no risk at loosing my left eye anymore. Just my everyday worries of brain herniation if I don’t keep those levels stable tho 🙃

I’ve actually had psychedelic events using cannabis, usually associated with taking more than intended, but not always. There’ve only been about four, and I’m a daily user for three years now. So, I know it can stimulate a psychedelic event, but even among the few of us that do actually experience them, the events aren’t often. And for myself, there is no predictable dose of THC that will trip one (see what I did there? 🙂 ).

It was always said that Indica/Sativa was closer related to the THC to Canabanoid ratio. Being that Canabanoids were sedative, so an “Indica” being say 50/50 would “couch lock” you more than a “Sativa” with say a 90/10 being mostly THC.

As an ex-9 year, daily marijuana smoker, it is not as safe as people make it out to be. It blocks REM sleep, and if smoked in abundant quantities, can be addictive in a sense. Hence the reason why you hear when people go on “tolerance breaks” they talk about their vivid dreams. If your body doesn’t get REM sleep it will take it one way or another, and sometimes in extreme ways.
Edit: I admittedly wrote this before watching the whole video, and am actually pleased with how well she handled this and the depth of the questions that were asked. Good job, WIRED.

About the indica Vs sativa question- i have a question myself. I smoke for anxiety & depression. whenever i smoke sativa or “sativa dominant hybrids” i almost always have panic attacks. even when i don’t know what strain or type it is prior to use. this has happened at multiple seshes with friends and family, only later to find out that it was sativa. (i would smoke the same exact weed alone & have panic attacks too, so it’s not a social anxiety issue)
what could this be caused by? i really don’t think it’s a placebo affect. i had the same 2 different reactions to weed before i found out there was indica vs sativa. 🧐

Great video, although she sort of glossed over the “10-30% of users develop a use disorder”. She’s right of course that it is waaay safer and less addictive than most other drugs, but speaking as somebody who was extremely and unhealthily dependent on weed for about 2 years, I wish I had known before starting that it had the potential to get that kind of hold over you. I’m 100% pro-legalization and de-stigmatization but I also think we need to be more honest about some of the risks involved and advise the public.

Perception is really reality. We see weed as bad and dangerous so someone using weed everyday is automatically labeled as a bad thing, with no consideration for the fact that it has medical benefits as well. That many people opt for weed over a prescription pill, which they would also be taking everyday. It’s very helpful for anxiety, and for many that’s a daily struggle. That’s why we have to keep an open mind

WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA. No difference between indica and sativa? “All in your head”? WTF??? This lady is really a “scientist”?
She has OBVIOUSLY never smoked weed. There are huge differences in indica vs sativa strains and the types and concentrations of terpenes each cultivar produces genetically. That’s precisely what gives each its individual unique effects. Smoke Kali Mist or Cannabiogen’s Destroyer, then some Pakistani 75 Landrace and tell me there’s no difference between indica and sativa. The MOST LUDICROUS STATEMENT EVER! THIS WOMAN IS A FRAUD!

Why is the word anthocyanin in her Twitter text at 8:50 while she is talking about anandamide. Anthocyanin gives plants their color the other one makes you feel good.

0:22 Right off the bat, not an actual “weed scientist” whatever tf this is. Cannabis “reducing pain” has been shown to be a placebo ffs. I’m not against weed or anything, but if you’re gonna keep regurgitating disproven misinformation [to justify legalization] I’m out. In fact at this point so much bs is out there, I don’t blame people for genuinely believing in the “medical benefits” of weed lmao
Also not the first time WIRED hosted a “scientist” that turned out to be an Art School dropout turned TED speaker. Kinda tiring ngl.

No, lol I really wish she expanded on the indica and sativa point. There’s so many more cultivate, indica’s with euphoric effects and vice versa. Also, no, there has been found to have trace amounts of cannabinoids and terpenes in the leaves. 😂 I’m sure she knows alot, but you didn’t explain alot and left ALOT out and don’t forget how d8 and d10 are made lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I would dispute that the plant produces THC as anti-fungal protection. I have found across thousands of plants that the more THC trichomes a plant produces the more likely it is to get botrytis. The sticky glands trap water molecules which leads to bud rot as any outdoor grower knows. As somebody who grows both sativa and indica heirloom strains I would also dispute that there is no difference and wonder just how this was tested because the profiles are usually different not similar at all if you compared say landrace Thai with landrace Kush.

idk about saying weed isnt psychedelic too, if you smoke a lot real fast your normal vision will go out and you will see patterns and colors something like a 10-20% visual levels compared to a single acid dose, but only for like 20min-1hr tops. It doesnt really feel good and you cannot stand up and stuff oof! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS!

Please consider comparing the experiences of someone who has orally ingested LARGE amounts of cannabis with what some call an “ego death” in the psychedelic realm.

They seem awfully similar to me, enough so that it’s classification to meet your definition would change in extreme doses, especially orally taken. ❤️
Carla Cadena

I’d like to hear more about the first answer. Yes, it might be necessary for people with certain patholoies (still THC & CBD, well, are different things and different molecules). Smoking or consuming weed surely might be better than drinking everyday yet it doesn’t mean it should be done on a regular basis as a healthy person, does it?

I have been underweight my entire life (57 years). Waaay back, when I was in my 20’s, my mom was so against my smoking weed. I quit smoking it. Dropped 7 lbs I definitely did not need to drop and my anxiety spiked to an time high. One trip to the doctor and three very expensive prescriptions later, which came with side effects, and I started smoking weed again. No prescriptions anymore. Gained my 7 lbs back and my anxiety (which I always have) was maintained. To be clear, I do not suffer withdrawals when I do not have pot, but I do suffer with loss of appetite and my anxiety can be overwhelming. I prefer the weed to the prescribed meds. I apologize for not remembering the name of the prescription, it did put weight on me, but was also giving me type 2 diabetes. So all in all, I’ll take the weed.
