The Congolese Tribes Selling Weed to Survive | WEEDIQUETTE 

She didn't look underfed though.

Fact🎉

The pigmies ripped me scrotumms and used it for rolling papers 😢

@@PeteBogg cause she aint scared

Lollll​@@StreetStoriesEnt

Very much needed given.

I was expecting that to happen since these guys don't mess around.

That's because investigative journalism can make anyone feel uneasy. By that I mean, intentionally or unintentionally asking questions that may get them in trouble. Like at 13:13 when he asked them who buys and where do they sell it.

Because that’s what the yt man usual does in places where natural resources are plentiful

@@Plzcontactbrad Oh I’m aware my Cherokee ancestors faced it too

May he rest in peace ❤

Blessings for you and your people my brother🙌🏾

The Congolese wouldn’t accept him anyways. He has a Kinyarwanda name and they would immediately call him Rwandan even though those people had been there before the country was recognized

sorry for your loss

My birthday day 😢

The interviewer is the feds to her LOL

you can find similar structures all around the world, much more peacefull

She would absolutely end a life without hesitation

"i dont smoke personally" while his eyes are bloodshot and he cant focus at all X D

Flip that role wt the man doing such and it's suddenly oppressive and slavish smh🙄😓 y'all gotta make up yalls minds mane lol😵‍💫

Lol I just go to 1 of like 20 of the dispensaries in my area. No plug can keep up with the variety of strains around let alone all the concentrates and edibles too lol. But I do agree they could be selling worse things lol.

Nothing wrong with throwing a lil shrooms in the mix too😂

I selled a couple gramms but am i not like getting people addicted and hurted?

@@sumper_man now were talking lol

I'd say they're more neutral as opposed to saving lives

It's not a film. It's just a RU-vid video...

You sure went out of your way to set the record straight with your "just a youtube video" comment, which does nothing but minimize this amazing documentary. ​@@BeccaHetrick

@@BeccaHetrick You're annoying stfu, It's a filmed documentary uploaded to a video site called RU-vid. If they added this as a short to Netflix you'd probably be eating it up

A lot of bosses who just need a chance

If you cry why don't you go over there and help them.😂😂

The enemy makes you forget who you are so they can own you & everything you got.

😂😂😂

@@EZ_Money101 Respectfully, there is nothing in the Congo we want lmao.

You make it seem like its a quick fix....idiotic comment ​@@deadhand8819

😂

Seriously! I feel for them though, because weed is still illegal there and they have to be very careful about it.

Homie just got what we call "gravy eyes"

😂😂😂😂😂

For real, even his wife had to move his head for him!

Yes! I think of all the folks that would be clutching their pearls about teaching women to sell drugs instead of something else, but when kids get through school, even uni, and can’t find work back home, why not? It’s not the same as the drug dealers an American would think about…but being picked up off the street for sex is dangerous everywhere. Working the fields for veg to sell in the market is dangerous with rebel groups around, even. I am glad they’ve found a way to better their lives, connect to other women, and almost have a sort of support group where men and women smoke together and just…forget that life is hard for a bit. She’s a businesswoman, mentor, and therapist, at the very least. Respect to her - and all the women choosing ganja over prostitution in a difficult place! Others like the Mbuti as well, who are making the best of an awful situation with weed, also get all my respect. Treated like subhumans, driven from their home, forced to change their way of life…but they can at least bring in a little money with weed, plus use it as natural medicine (and I appreciate their rule to only take leaves from their own plants or the medication doesn’t work, talk about good neighbors). We are all humans. We should be treated as humans. I hope, for the sake of them, the women in Goma, everyone really, that eastern Congo sees a lasting peace that doesn’t involve the west/China/Russia making a grab for resources in return for helping to rebuild and modernize infrastructure. (oops I typed too much! but to your point, again, 1000% yes, she is an angel on earth for helping these struggling women avoid prostitution.)

🙌🙌🙌💯💯💯💯

Nothing wrong with drugs. In fact, they have arguably got us to where humanity is atm. It's the stupid abuse that screws us.

Yes weed is God's given herb! God must be very proud of that woman and any alike.

thats not weed, they cut it weeks to early they smoke plants from the plant theres no thc in it

this came out in 2016 btw

They've been recycling 10 year old episodes forever

No it puts people's lives in danger and you're heartless for saying so. Just because weed is being legalized in one country,you don't go asking how it fits into your life in other countries.

@@patrickmcgovern676so what happens if weed becomes legal in other places? What kind of irreversible damage will it cause as opposed to other things that are already legal?

Before Disney bought shares. Now it’s misinformation and propaganda! Don’t support the network, I only come back for the old documentaries.

I hear that there is pure weed in Jamaica. Not that chemical stuff with no seeds like in the US. Is this true?

Bless!

@@prentisdavis9781oh my, you will find seeds even in dispensary weed. They are simply growing seedless by picking all of the males before they can pollinate the females. Also the weed in America is much more pure then there other than when chemicals are used only nutrients are needed and when used we get up to almost 40% THC and it’s unheard of in Jamaica who has maybe 15-20 percent at best which will still get you lit af h

@@prentisdavis9781 most of it yea..im from jamaica and i tell u them that the weed is strong strong since the land here is quite fertile due to climate. Weed has been in the rastafarian cultures for a long time thats why its very abundant in Jamaica. Weed is pretty accessible since small amounts of it aren't illegal and if u go to any urban areas and see ppl smoking weed, weed here isnt really a big deal cus its quite a norm here

@@prentisdavis9781 wait wym no seeds ? Are you talking bout weed with no seed ? Or dat other stuff like H, white, and Ice ?

😂😂😂😂

Sameeee brooo I felt him

@@mawandomendohaynes6061 i think he is drunk

@@terarara189 crossfaded perhaps

and in the end, he was open about it 😂😂😂😅

Amen bro❤

Totally Agree Mate.

What I don't understand is if no one has jobs, where do people get money to buy the weed?

Too lazy to plant gardens, raise chickens and cows. Nope, sell dryyugz. 😂

​@@Steve-ev6vx just like selling anywhere.. They "Nickel and dime" it out to many different people.

Of course they do it's a Bantu language...kwani nyinyi hamujui History ya kingozi jameni

I’m Zimbabwean of the Shona tribe and I also could understand their language 😊…we’re all one people ❤

Haiya. Kumbe tuko wengi

Some words sounds exactly like Wamboe language here in Namibia

Same as Kalanga from Botswana

Africans belong together. We were just manipulated by "them" yk. Africans arise. Not for me but for my future generations.

Thank my fellow Kenyans God bless you all and our future generations,am 28 years old ,our Government does not even listen to its citizens nowadays,its very sad😢😢

@@lucygathiri8934 africans do belong together, but if you look through history, they were never together, african slaves for example were trafficked, used and transported by europeans obviously, but everyone bought from portugal, who bought from Afonso, the king of the Kingdom Of Kongo. The only reason the Kingdom Of Kongo stopped selling their own people was because slavery got abolished by the UK 60 years or so before USA, and in todays money, possibly trillions was spent to patrol the coasts, buy the freedom of current slaves, etc. the debt we went into doing this was paid off by the taxpayer in 2012 to give an idea of just how much time, money and men were used to do this. A couple decades later after the USA abolished slavery, and the main income from the major powers in africa disappeared, only then did europe start drawing lines on maps and invaded.

Some of the wo4ds are even the same as Zulu and Xhosa.

Shame this stuff is all long in the past since the heads of VICE sold out and went for the paycheck. This video is almost 10 years old and they're just reposting stuff no

Fr fr

​@CannabisReviewPDX yeah originally aired 2016

Lol

and that's what America dont understand !

Congolese don't know about PTSD we always survive on our own. and that is the only resource that both party benefits in it (Government and population)

​​@@alshatrihakimushamavu7433he may not know that it is ptsd but he's still probably haunted by his past, and weed helps with that, he must've noticed that at some point. I can only speak from experience but weed really helped me. I suffered from heavy depression and was very suicidal for a very long time, pretty much since i was a small child due to trauma. Then when i was 17 i visited a friend, we climbed on his roof and he gave me a few pulls of his joint. Ever since then i've had pretty much 0 issues with suicidal thoughts. I still get a bit depressed when my weed runs out but its nothing like the hell i had to go through before so i'll take it lol

he seems kind of clumsy coz he's probably a big pothead🤣that part was funny

Hubby says he doesn't smoke weed. LOL He's stoned out of his gourd as he says that fib.

4:36 "We got a spy!" ahh moment 😂😂😂😂

Exactly 😅

I also noticed, some words from our Mozambican languages.

This was over 8 years ago she has been executed

You ever thought your exposing her and stopping her hustle since its illegal ?

He was happy to hear that. He looked nervous when he had machete.😂😂

Dude was stone though ....🤣

📌 Dude get out of my brain 😳😂

Lmao. ,facts

And she kept on trying to stop him from giving too much information. She a real one 😂

that was great

"My most two important resources are marijuana and meat." My man! If im ever in the area, imma bring a goat and some papers.

literally just commented that he is my spirit animal, i live in the Alaskan bush, his words hit hard and true af.

@@skwissgaar_skwigelf_kdz3251 spirit animal?

The Congolese government doesn’t tell the truth that’s why. There are too many rebels around they just point fingers at whoever they can so they don’t get blamed for this nonsense

It's been absolutely new to me as well.

I'm sorry that you have to deal with laws that make it illegal, I'm in US and my state has been legal for a few years, but the rich ppl make all the money selling in stores

​@@shable1436your country called out for a ban for weed but now y'all are legalising it one state at a time yet our poor ahh countries can't legalize it anymore

sad huh

Yeah VICE is a pretty biased unreliable network when it comes to politics but I do appreciate Krishna's journalism when it comes to marijuana. He does a good job.

@@Lovell93 he and Hamilton are their only saving grace tbh.

@@youtubegk4105 no I’m white American lol

@@go_djentle I also really like Thomas Morton

What if they were not speaking the same language as you, would their condition still break your heart?

A remnant of the Arab swahili trade.

To Africans he is basically a white man. Light skin is white to them 😀

Krishna finds out he's "white" 😂

It's not the best translation.... Mzungu means white person, but it can also mean traveler or foreigner or westerner. Although she's pretty funny, so she might be calling him white boy as a gag - Congolese people can be pretty funny

what would they think of me lolol i shine when my stomach comes out...

​@@ahorrellTrue. Or they could actually mean white. To a lot of people in Sub-Saharan Africa, if you're aren't as black as them, you are white by default.

Diference between pr*stitutes, young people with no jobs and Grown up men that are into big business. Of course the grown up dudes wouldnt be all smiles with a white dude knowing they are the prime cause the country is in the states it is.

next time they should do cassava traders

Smart observation 👌🏾

How would you describe what life is like in other regions in comparison? Asking from Jamaica.

North Kivu and South Kivu are spectacular in terms of landscape they have to be one of the most beautiful regions in the world.

@@javedhutchinson538 life is a bit better in other regions

He ain’t even white I’m confused

That word also means foreigner or traveler

@@avemaria-iloveutoo that’s ignorant. Foh u call me white we gon have a problem

@@mufasa1794 Well then id recommend that you never travel to Africa . It's not "ignorant", that word doesn't exist to us. I am brown, I come from an ethnic group mixed for generations so we're classified as coloured, a lot of things are different here. Coloured doesn't mean black and anyone light skinned is called white, it's not meant to be insulting.

@@amandacammack9385her calling him “white” is ancestral. She knows his people were colonized

Ganja destroy life of many peoples

These are old episodes...

these are all old😭 they’re just now posting the full episodes here on youtube but some of these episodes are from as far back as 2016/17

LOL moron is proud about reruns

Lol Vice has officially shut down didn't you hear? That's why you only see decade old videos being posted. They're way past doing this. I'll go to these places and film if y'all crowdfund me
