one time, i injected a marijuana . I almost died!

[@leslieking2546]

He said people snorted it, sometimes injected it! I'm not sure where he's been hanging out

[@ianbrotherton2341]

Makes me feel bad how racism made such a medicinal plant demonised for no reason whatsoever. Made me believe it was bad for a while as well cause that's what they teach you in school. Glad I know the truth. I regret all the bad advice I gave people about this plant.

[@jonmacdonald5345]

Just for that you got to smoke 2 joints back to back!

[@ttacking_you]

We're the blacks and Mexicans smoking it in Canada, too, or did we just export/impose our racist narrative and accompanying laws?

[@annodomoni8960]

Her reaction to him saying you can put it in brownies is priceless. She's like, "yeah!, Thats exactly what I did with it last night." lol

[@gigirobbin5340]

Lmbo, I never ever in my life have had any types of hallucinations😂. I have never heard of anyone ever attacking another person. Just the fridge! Lmbo😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@notme-mc9jh]

Try a 500 mg edible..you'd be surprised😉

[@lilchief6392]

How can you inject thc

7 years for possession of a plant people who smoked weed in the 70s had huge balls

[@lonewolfislit]

Fr 🤣

[@OsirisMalkovich]

It will smell like burning insulation? Wtf

[@gitv2987]

No, that's my parents new oven that smells like that, anything over 350..

[@mondo_4_real]

i’m glad i didn’t grow up in the 70s smoking weed but wish i was for the music 😏

[@ianbrotherton2341]

Amen

[@bug3518]

hell yeah man, Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, AC/DC I'm 25 I grew up listening to the music my Dad and Grandfather were listening to and have been hooked on classic rock ever since.

[@Seattlefan77]

Meh. Overrated era of music.

[@JAlexanderG]

Injected? I'd like to know how 😂

[@gigirobbin5340]

JAlexanderG, I know right😂😂😂

[@HardDie]

No brooo!! Noo you dont ? I mean you don't?😂🤣

[@Quoobuss]

I just injected so many weeds and I’m lit

[@wbtydinasour3311]

JAlexanderG sniffed I wish I got that 2020 gas and I still gotta spark up these stinky buds to get stoned

[@ST-gd3di]

This interview was 50 years ago people today still think you can inject it

[@gianluca______]

Injected and sniffed, omg, our parents grow up watching this, they made a brainwash to them

[@h.l.69]

I havent tried injecting it, well wish me luck guys.

[@diquanwashingbeard5175]

They must be fun at parties.

[@gitv2987]

Who breaks up stems and leaves and smokes that? smh..

[@MegaGameFan100]

My guy did you just say injected?

[@shadykitty7493]

life in prison in canada imagine being one of those ppl today

[@hollydugal5299]

7 years or life in prison for weed or hash? That’s ridiculous. Legalize it straight across the board.

[@antoniokauley9171]

7 years in prison and life in prison for giving someone weed in Canada.....

[@dankdispensaryrecreational1274]

Wow! Great find! So, as he noted, they don't know the effects or how harmful marijuana is to the system, but you can get 7 years to life. Sounds like perfectly illogical reasoning. 🤨 that's ripe

[@jov6372]

1:03 yea it's a herb you can use it in the kitchen an much more

[@watapompi4824]

Injected or sniffed….. wow…so creative

[@dxmxo9427]

Sativa,Indica??

[@drapakdave]

Adrienne Clarkson was awesome even in 1970. She is one of my heroes.

[@CBC]

Thanks for sharing Dave!

[@zackerymillerzackerym1309]

Homeboy on the right would have been a stoner were he raised half a century later

[@kylekamins6034]

I never snickered so hard first 5 seconds into a YT video before this one. Bravo, anti-weed Karen from the 70’s.

[@BLOODYTHECLOWN666]

Sniffed and injected wtf thatd be heroin or cocaine

[@lagodifuoco313]

Did he say it can be injected 💉???

[@hollydugal5299]

Legalize marijuana straight across the board!!!

[@travisharnedmusic]

watching this after injecting and snorting a marijuana

[@Flippy2100]

It can be sniffed 😂😂

[@bluethunder6801]

Insulation? What ??

[@kilotree7071]

Where there eye drops back then

[@Alexander_Alberts]

I would just like to point out that a grave sin was committed. The female reporter at 1:06 decided to pronounce the ‘h’ in herb.

[@jacobcumberbatch1774]

That’s how it’s supposed to be pronounced

[@cannabisoutlawz]

This is Crazy..WTF

[@jose8a864]

Injected or sniff uuhmmmm ill be back

[@Hipsters_N_Hippies]

[@N0R3M4C]

I injected 4 whole marijuanas once and i was so high i walked into class and tried to put my seatbelt on.................... So yea dont inject COVID. Studies show that children who are vaccinated are 87% times more likely to inject marijuana then whose who are not.

[@darthdennis6681]

How in the hell can you inject marijuana???!!

[@edvin6347]

If i would inject it, I would use thc crystals and mix it with a little water and then inject it :/ but i wouldn't recommend
