I posted this elsewhere and it got a lot of down votes,
If you're someone who down-votes this I'm curious to know why and if you watched the video.
I'm not against weed and neither is the video, it just highlights how weed can mess with your life.

I watched the first 5 minutes of the video... the whole premise is flawed. "You need to quit weed (but we only mean the one super rare instance where a person can get hyper addicted)"
Well no shit, Dick Tracy. An addiction that ruins your life and causes issues should be quit regardless. You're addicted to gambling? Seek help. You're addicted to junk food? Seek help. You're addicted to alcohol? Seek help
See the theme? It's not the weed that is bad, it's the addiction. Now don't hear me as up here championing weed, it's just like any other vice. Alcohol, tobacco, porn, gambling, food addiction, all can become addictive. However, all things in moderation, and it is not an issue until it starts ruling your life.
So either this video is a tongue and cheek and I missed the point, or it's some "holier than thou" diatribe. Either way, I can absolutely see why you're being down voted.

A paternalistic video title on an old topic earns a downvote and no view.
If there is a thesis, that needs to come first or else why waste my time on old arguments?

You posted it elsewhere, it "got a lot of down votes[sic]", and you're surprised when the same happens here? Thafuq. Are you high?
Hell, you can't even decide if "downvote" has a space or a hyphen in the same comment, consistently rebut with tone-deaf & half-cocked "yeah, but" comments, and seem to presume this source is somehow accurate despite its well-known corpo bias. 🤷🏼♂️
Simmer, citizen. Breathe. Think a little. Please.

i don't smoke weed and I haven't watched kurzgesagt in a long while - but I have to say, isn't this a staunch change in direction from their usual content? On a few occasions it's seemed like they're being lobbied to push a particular concept and this is one of those times, for me.
Thumbnail ("you're too old for it") is bad because really weed should used medicinally - for old people and adults - rather than recreationally, for young people. Where it might actually effect brain development to some extent.

everything in moderation, if you're using anything too much you're an addict and should seek professional help and/or start weaning off your vices

For some there is such a thing as cannabis-induced psychosis, especially in those with a familial predisposition for psychotic disorders. I think that's the biggest thing to be talked about in a mental health setting.
It's Kurtzgesagt, they're known for oversimplifying while taking billionare money. I don't trust them.
