    I posted this elsewhere and it got a lot of down votes,

    If you’re someone who down-votes this I’m curious to know why and if you watched the video.

    I’m not against weed and neither is the video, it just highlights how weed can mess with your life.

    i don’t smoke weed and I haven’t watched kurzgesagt in a long while - but I have to say, isn’t this a staunch change in direction from their usual content? On a few occasions it’s seemed like they’re being lobbied to push a particular concept and this is one of those times, for me.

    Thumbnail (“you’re too old for it”) is bad because really weed should used medicinally - for old people and adults - rather than recreationally, for young people. Where it might actually effect brain development to some extent.

    everything in moderation, if you’re using anything too much you’re an addict and should seek professional help and/or start weaning off your vices

    For some there is such a thing as cannabis-induced psychosis, especially in those with a familial predisposition for psychotic disorders. I think that’s the biggest thing to be talked about in a mental health setting.
