@@notsure6222 not everyone had a subscription to HBO etcetera to watch Vice News. RU-vid is reaching a new market, bringing in ad revenue, and all it costs was uploading old content.
I agree and appreciate the sentiment of your comment. We all eat food, though. The scary thing about GMO crops isn't that they're "Frankinstien plants". The scary thing is that the reason they use GMO plants is because they're designed to tolerate massive amounts of pesticides that humans have to wear PPE to be around and would kill a natural plant. Then they sell it to us to eat. Look up "Round-up ready" crops.
@@thirdeyevision11 I agree as well, as there is really no way around the food. We have to eat; the saddest thing is, it’s on EVERYTHING. We just have to wish for the best. I appreciate your comment as well.
I grow my own weed, without any weird stuff. I swear I never had such a clean high …feels real pure and natural. Something special when you grow it urself and know exactly what has been done with it
I agree but not all pesticides are bad lol, Some pesticides are natural and completely organgic and safe, some pesticides are as simple as using a pest to kill other pests
Yeah the problem is they just snitched on themselves because they used ill-gotten gains to buy land and other property for their businesses and now the government can seize it all under civil asset forfeiture laws
Someone should pick this show concept back up where Vice left off. I really could see multiple seasons worth of material. There’s so many perspectives and history with this subject
People keep telling them, these fools don't listen, Krishna, the dude who did the UK steroid documentary based in cardiff and the dude who made the cocaine documentary based in Scotland, literally carry this channel on their backs.
Like the encouragement to grow hemp during the discovery of what is now the USA. I hate that it's always the people who REFUSE to try it all control the legality of it,
@@AutismoGamer Not sure if you were replying to me but my comments keep getting removed. They hate me. Lol. It's their right to I guess as long as it's not made personal that is.
@@AutismoGamer It wasn't about flattering myself, I was notified for some weird reason and aren't familiar as to how YT notifications work, but okay. What a weird comment.
Honestly this content right here feels nostalgic. This right here is why I started watching vice. The story layout, the clear message, the great art direction and an interesting story that was not boring.
ive been in patches since i was old enough to remember, im pushing 50 and still cant afford to grow and i got felonies for growing, it is my passion still 💚
But that would wipe out the corruption, oligarchs, foreign agents, cartels, mafias, extremest militias and street gangs that currently run the trade while rejuvenating the working class. We can’t have that in America gotta feed the haves and starve the have nots. Opportunity is dead in America time to wake up!
I really hope that there is a follow up, and that the people that really pioneered the industry and suffered under bs laws, have their records expunged and sealed and are able to excel in a field that they are passionate about and know.
You should go to Oakland and visit the Blunts and Moore. It's a black owned dispensary, I think if there was more marketing for the black owned dispensaries, there would be more support and growth, no pun intended.
I ve smoked weed back in college and had weed friends but never have they been violent. But met guys who drink and become aggressive shortly after drinking.
Why put him at risk like that? Why harm someone’s livelihood who just wants to figure out how to legally do what he loves. you are disgusting and miserable.
this was the begining of the end. it was the first show on VICE where the content couldnt overcome the host. it became a huge trend and sank a pretty cool little network
I've been smoking for 45years. Before weed was legal here, I'd never been in any trouble with the law & still haven't.... thank God! The 1st time I went to a dispensary it felt so strange getting legal weed🤣💯 🫡
Bro a vlog is a "video log" as in a log/journal/diary. This aint a "vlog," it was a TV show with journalism going in-depth on a subject which included interviewing a politican. Idk why I felt the need to clarify this; I'm a journalism student and people lumping vlogs in together with expensive to produce journalism TV shows on HBO are why the industry I want to get into is dying out. People can get vlogs for free so they don't wanna pay for all the work that goes into stuff like this, which means there isn't a job for me in this industry anymore. No one wants to pay, which means its not a job that you can get paid for anymore, and that's a real bad thing for journalism in the world.
@@Mac2095I’d argue journalism isn’t dying. There’s just too much saturation of ppl wanting to be RU-vidr “journalists” now. Think Tyler Oliveira, etc. Plus, TV / cable news media & traditional paper news has been on a decline for ages. That’s all effecting traditional journalism but doesn’t mean it’s going to die.
I will say this guy apparently dosent know what a yard of dirt is. He said you will need thousands of yards of top soil to start a grow. That’s a massive massive amount of dirt. Just think a dump truck has like 10-16 yards of dirt depending on the size.
It was best in the late 00’s-early 10’s. Yea, it was illegal. Dealers and smokers would sometimes get arrested. But for some reason, it was just better.
When I was 16 my neighbor who was a police officer had to arrest me for pot and he even said I shouldn't have to be taking you to jail. A mom called and said we had a rifle cause we were walking into the woods to smoke and my buddy had a soft guitar case but we didn't have a rifle in it we had a 2 foot bong we all chipped in and bought together to smoke lol.
You should do an episode on the maine market. They helped the smaller growers more (maine is very white though). A lot of illegal growers moved into the legal market.
Just unsubscribed since you all keep mainly reposting videos from years ago. Don’t think you all have posted anything current in years. Vice is over sadly
I can attest that Rykers Island is around door or revolving door if you’d like. It was built to house, young African-Americans and for them to have the highest recidivism rate possible . A huge part of the system is privately owned. Let that sink in for a second. PRIVATLY OWNED.
Goes to show our society should be more open to case-by-case evaluation. Otherwise it's Very clear what has happened here. Hope things has worked out for everyone
Hold up I have never in my life heard of being forced to go legit. Ive heard of things happening and people go from legit to illegitimate. I've heard of people being forced to quit doing illegal stuff but that's a first
