Vaping, Marijuana, and the Effects on the Adolescent Brain with Dr. Ruth Potee

Wow

This shit was so hard to watch. So much wrong information and personal bias

McDonald’s is one of those addictive foods

anyone else here because of health class?

False information thc is a Neuroprotective drug, not a neurotoxin. This is the exact opposite of what you said

I rode a bike at 5 ...

Thank you for your videos ... where's you channel on you tube Dr Ruth ?

This is so dumb she’s only spreading lies she is saying marijuana is addictive and is on the same level as heroine and she thinks it’s worse than alcohol, all this did was make me want to smoke more because she didn’t spread any knowledge she just told me what I already know.

She is speaking truth, guys! Just listen with an open mind because I've been experiecing everything she mentions and I've been smoking weed for 12+ years! It can definitely do some harm, if you're not careful with it or you are too obsessed with it. I didn't even want to go anywhere if I didn't have for a joint or two with me. I don't think my mind is as sharp as it used to be, but when I quit for around 4 months or so, my mind was so sharp and not foggy like before, it was great. I need to stop smoking, it's enough, really. It's so much fun though, that's the thing. The movies are better while stoned, when you get to hang out in nature, in the summertime, for example, weed is fun. But if you're abusing it then it's not as fun anymore. I got psychologically addicted to it. Like you can get addicted to coffee, or fast food, or whatever ... but I think it's even worse than that because of the high procentage of THC, that can really mess you up in the long run. And don't even get me started about how much money I spend on weed! And I'm always complaining how I don't have money to do anything fun, like travel, take trips, visit different museums and stuff, help animals, etc. I appreciate this video, thank you for speaking on important topics! Only immature people will have a problem with this video. :)

ok lol hits dab pen

This needs to played in every school ! Excellent presentation!

Excellent. Just Tweeted to my site. TY

Marijuana is good !! but not for kids.

addiction is from the tabacco , who smoke joints with tabacco! its not from the weed !

Read Puff Piece by John Safran about the vaping industry and big tobacco

“like nicotine or marijuana or HEROIN “

My nephew needs support for addition at 13 can you steer us in the right direction for support and supplements.

These kinds of Influential people are sent to Schools by Tobacco, Alcohol, and Pharma industries to spread a lie about psychedelics because they fear their market will be destroyed. There are tons of data about the effects of Alcohol tobacco or allopathy side effects but they will never say anything about it, for psychedelic, they will not provide data or will provide wrong data because the data is positive. Psychedelic is used for thousands of years and documented in Indian scriptures and their information is preserved orally by Amazonian Shamans but they will not accept these data. they are just making sure people don't go away from Tobacco, Alcohol, or Pharma medicines. It's a big industry even for Politicians. Psychedelic frees your mind and these politicians don't want that otherwise they will not be able to control you.

Brilliant talk, thank you.

Do coke instead that shits fire
At least until ur heart explodes

Just don't do drugs man my brain is fucked I have conversations with a painting on my wall and see shadows but that shit is pretty fire mighta givien me superpowers so... do drugs if u want useless superpowers

id laugh tbh

LOL.. Dr. Ruth ? it went from sex to weed ?

Looking at the comments I can't stop realizing that people would rather sit trying to find excuse for their addiction by even going against science & nature of their bodies.

Surprised by so few likes

Why in the fuck would you talk to them about marijuana or pills before they even know about it and then tell them that it gives them a massive spike in dopamine. Are you trying to make them want to use drugs?

The organic food part is wrong as well because they do lie about food being organic

“The average age was this room right here” no shit it’s because ur telling them about drugs starting at that age you idiot!!!

This is good but way to long

We talked because my grandson came home high he apologized for coming home high we talked very calmly I love you I told him I had to right to searches your room whenever I wanted you know I found something vibrating so I ask what's this he know what I found so we talked about weed so he said it makes him focus I told him I was very hurt with him because I want him to make smart choices and life so he ask what are you going to do love you no matter what I don't approve of smoking weed or of any drugs I will have my grandson listen to this with I'm sure he knows all that you said Thank you

Just breathe air

Vaping is not a Safer Alternative, I’m a Smoker, but that’s not why I’m saying that, Chemically, it’s in Liquid Form asserted to your Lungs, obviously you know what Drowning is? That’s drawing Liquid into your Lungs and Blood Vessels similar to Smoking, ALTERNATIVE! Not healthier and a substitute to please the exact same effects

who else watching this high asf😂😂😂😂😂😂

Even a poison control center will tell you that marijuana is bad for children. Horrible for the brain development.
But hey, People just want to get high people. Just want to make profit..

She is a liar. Berter than pharma

Thank you for explaining my life and why I could never give up my addiction of nicotine. Now I am just mad that I was ever exposed to this crap. I can tell you to never vape or smoke young or you too will be 61 wishing you could quit too. This doctor is amazing.

Gush, I can not imagine being her kid growing up....must be horrid experience listening to those lectures day after day...

there are ones with 1500

made in china ones got like 36ml

Heck ? We have Miley Cyrus teaching our Elementary school kids sex ed. Why not weed ?

watching this high on weed

I know 50 year olds whose brains are stuck at 14 years old..the age they started regularly smoking weed.
Memory F..up!
Impulse Control F..up!

Great lecture.

And we all thank the government for legalizing this and telling kids it's ok ,because they want us all zombies so they can control us .the problem is they will be paying for this when the addiction rate sky rockets .

Wow this lady is an angel!! Watching this for a pamphlet I'm creating on teens and THC. thank you!!!

Hi
