    No Nicotine is Toxic at any dose.. The effects are that of a Toxin,, as is alcohol.

    Cannabis is Non Toxic.. as it has no toxin ,,in or about it. Non_Toxic..

    Many Toxins are beneficial in limited doses. Or otherwise gratifying..

    Cannabis is NOT Toxic.. Never has been.. ALL of the Negative information was a Reefer Madness Lie.

    People are simply trying to justify that lie still...
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    If it were toxic, it would kill you if you had enough of it. The LD50 (lethal dose) for THC is some insane amount that couldn't be consumed by a human (or at least never has). I've seen enough people consume enough cannabis to know that none of it has any toxic effects.

    So it can kill you, so it is toxic. You just said so yourself. We'll just have to agree to disagree on the subject.

But they need to go through it, they need to face it. They don't need to go to the hospital.

    These are precisely the type of reactions that help people move on in their life and become better people. Panic attacks are not a negative side effect of herb, it is a healing mechanism.

    So what everyone else would call a negative side effect, bad trip, tripping out, paranoia or freak out, you call a healing experience. And so you tell everyone that there is nothing negative about pot.

    Ok. So the guy in the video who became a hard core pot user, finally got past the bad reaction, then went off it, going through mental withdrawals, and then went back on again and experienced those same initial panic side effects again just never smoked enough? He must have somehow missed out on that “healing” part. He has videos on mushrooms and DMT too, not like he avoided any of them.

    Clearly there is something in his life he doesn't want to deal with, and so instead of dealing with it he blames cannabis and distracts himself by starting an anti-cannabis crusade.

    I've had anxiety with mushrooms and cannabis, but instead of blaming cannabis, I decided to deal with what the stress was over. You have to have something to be stressed out over for cannabis to cause stress. It also taught me how to better deal with stress itself. I don't think Xanax does any of that, it makes your mind do the opposite and turn off. Cannabis turns your mind on and helps you tap into things better.

    You are right, he probably didn't smoke enough. He also might need some honest people around him who can help guide him toward being a better person.

    If you want to put everything in the category of "toxic" then I guess we should just sit in one place, not consumed anything, and die.

    The fact is herb is healthful, it helps people live healthier lives - mentally, physically, etc.

    I’m standing outside and some do-gooder says “hey, can’t you read, there’s a sign over there that says no smoking”.

    So I take a drag and say “thanks for the info”.

    There’s a few biker bars I go to that allow smoking inside, fortunately they got great wings.

    Once is enough for me to understand he is not liberty minded or not allowed to be, both equally bad for someone with so much influence.
    I've been trying to pull my husband back from a devastating fall into the sewer of libtardism so got him watch Tucker a couple of times. My husband is a weed smoker and grower and has zero tolerance for anyone saying anything bad about it. Wouldn't you know it, the TWO times I get him to watch, Tucker goes off on his bizarre anti marijuana thing! Oh, man, I was so bummed out. Now he hates Tucker.

    What Swordsmyth said is right. You will never find anyone whose inner universe mirrors your own. Tucker is very pro liberty but just has this hang up about weed. It's far more important that he's relentless on the issue of freedom of thought and speech.

    Nothing better in the drug trade than selling a drug with side effects, and then selling a drug that’s supposed to help with the side effects. Dr. DrugDealer: “Too much pot causing anxiety? Here’s a prescription for Xanax to go with the pot.”

    You are right, he probably didn't smoke enough. He also might need some honest people around him who can help guide him toward being a better person.
    Apparently he tried everything. You may be right, he probably should have taken more acid, then he would be on the path to total clarity and health.

    Brian, no matter how you feel or what you think about it, it's a damn plant and people have the right to do with their bodies as they please, dontcha think? IMHO, the cult of marijuana is crazy (and I've smoked a lot of it). It's like snake oil that cures everything for the devotee. Some people love it and it's ridiculous for it to be illegal.

    It was developed to break addiction,, and had good success treating alcoholism.

    I have used it recreationaly,, and introspectively.

    and save for a few writers,, more FUD has been spread about it , than any other substance than weed.

    Of course, people have that right. Have I ever said anything to the contrary?

    On the other hand, do parents have the right to tell their kids not to use drugs, and to punish them if they do? Do people have the right to tell other people their opinion about things?

    Why would parents do that unless they had been inspired so..??

    And why would parents deny a healthy and beneficial food?
    unless they had been falsely taught is was harmful.

    I used to think I wanted pot to be legal. I don't know which is worse government or cartels being in control of it. It is not legal in my state so I guess the cartel have more control in my state over it than the government. I suppose our legislators are making good money off the cartel by keeping it illegal here.

    At any rate I don't care if Carson is against it or not. He has a right to kiss the cartels ass if he wants to.
