Mother nature evolved THC as a means to slow the destructive pace of her cancer that is known as the human race. Burn down enough forest, and the plants will learn how to fight back. Its retalitory.
"Eating Cheetos outside of a 711 at 2Am" hahahahaha true story

Do one on CBD oils.

You're an idiot…

It's really disappointing how uninformative, and misinforming this video was.
Animals on drugs, its no laughing matter, 6 years later and don't think people got the message Hank lmao
Ok what about CBD
If plants are alive do you think the marijuana plant can get high from its own thc
I CAN'T BELIEVE 2 MILLION PEOPLE WATCHED THIS VIDEO. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THC PLEASE DO FURTHER RESEARCH
I don't do drugs and I wonder why people do.
It's mostly all THCA on the plant and that's the inactive version of THC before it's converted off the plant by drying or heating it like when you smoke or cook with it… So although it sounds good, animals getting high from eating raw buds or plant material doesn't really happen. BTW if you got a good healthy plant it'll usually produce enough sugary starches that most insects don't have the right organs to digest so the sugars turn to alcohol and and kill them pretty much from alcohol poisoning but bigger animals are safe cause they got the organs to digest it many a liver
hey chucklehead, people know this . It has been common knowledge for decades. But you are also spreading lies. It does not do a lot of the things you say. Stop watching Reefer Madness for your info.
You really are an ignorant ass.
If you don't want to look like an idiot, comb your hair and iron your wrinkled ass shirt.
i’m fried
"Eating cheetos outside of a 711 at 2am" lol, sounds like my late teens
I've smoked for sixteen years on a daily basis, and I hold a chemical engineering degree.
Granted, I smoke to curb the anxiety caused by OCD.
why the hell are you living in a state where it's illegal.
Now weed is legal locally in certain places ooooooof
wtf
Confirmed hank is a pothead. Side note deer do eat your crops.
Now do Psilocybin and psilocin please.
I know this video is old as hell, but your diagram of THC at 0:30 is incorrect; it has two double bonds and a methyl group on the same carbon atom totaling five electrons shared with only four available. The only double bond to that carbon atom in the ring is probably the one on the right if my orgo intuition is correct.
Lol not illegal where I stay but this video is kinda old so I still like the info
2019 patient here, you may want to make a new video solely about the ECS
Lmao god this is great! And I know why weed makes thc god made to do that to help with sickness and bring forth world peace! If the whole world would smoke weed and listen to Nahko Bear we would have world peace!
Weed makes thc so we cultivate it and it continues to live
Weed has thc-a in it so if a bug ate it it would not get high and forget it due to marijuana
Why talk about ik when you can smoke it
The insect defense reason doesn't make much sense seeing as it needs to be heated to be turned into active thc that will get you high. I've heard that it is used for protection against the elements, for whatever reason. Which is why if you lower the temperatures in the grow room or leave them in 24-48 hours of darkness before harvest, it will increase their trichome production. Because they think winter is upon them and it's the end of their life
It is a disrespect to pharmacology to not state that cannabinoids receptors where discovered due to the fact that cannabinoids bind to the CB1 and CB2 receptors. I believe this was discovered with the sythetic cannabinoid JW-H. It is not misleading that they are called cannabinoid receptors; excogenous ligans such as THC or MORPHINE for the -μ Opioid receptor are used to discover receptor binding in VIVO. In fact this is how most receptor sites are discovered..
THC gets us high by replacing anandamine. Interesting.. So when the cannabis plant from Scary Movie rolled and smoked a human, it replaced his thc with our anandamine.
Missoula Montana you say???
Well, I'm pretty sure that in order for THC to be orally active it has to undergo decarboxylation.
does thc lower your IQ?
i don't think animals get high from eating weed man u gotta smoke it to get high
