Horizon - Cannabis. The Evil Weed

Broadcast Date: 03 Feb 2009, 21:00 on BBC Two (UK)

 

Cannabis is the world's favourite drug, but also one of the least understood. Can

cannabis cause schizophrenia? Is it addictive? Can it lead you on to harder drugs? Or

is it simply a herb, an undervalued medicine?

 

Addiction specialist Dr John Marsden discovers that modern science is finally beginning

to find answers to these questions. John traces the cannabis plants' birthplace in

Kazakhstan; finds the origins of our sensitivity to cannabis in the simple sea squirt;

and shows just what it does to our brains.

 

He meets people who have been changed by this drug in drastically different ways - from

those whose lives have been shattered to those who lives have been revived.

 

This is an interesting documentary, I'm not sure if it will get to Australian TV. If it does, it will probably take a year before it is shown.

You can easily download this doc in a torrent file (ie. you will need Azureus or

You can get this on utube. Can't give links cause I'm posting on my iphone (can't copy and paste). There's a lot of bullshit propaganda and they interview a "cannabis addict" who I am convinced is a actor, but it does teach you a lot about how cannabis works on your brain, which I found really interesting.

I don't think he is a loser, perhaps misinformed more than anything. Many people I know are like him in that they are depressed about what their life has become due to doing fuck all except smoking weed for the majority of their life. You can't blame MJ for poor motivation even if it does effect it, it's not like it would have never occurred to him that he was doing nothing with his life he just didn't take the action to do something about it. There will always be people like that regardless of cannabis use.

I'm downloading this now. It's funny how the title already shows how bias they are going to be.
