That damn weed has a lot to answer for.

I once heard that the weed can have an effect on one's accent.

as an ex smoker, and having known many heavy smokers over the years, I have no doubt whatsoever that smoking weed in high volumes for long periods of time can have a massive effect on your mental health.

Can you post a link please?
I don't really like watching fishing videos but had a watch of this and got the lad. Good angler in the making regardless of his issues, real or perceived. Understands how to hunt fish with limited time that aren't behind fences.
Proper carp the red one

He used to fish over Walthamstow a lot and even as a very young lad he could catch them.
The lads he fished with including Sambo swimmer on here are exceptional at that style of angling.

We're doing a night over there and Alfie would have been 14 maybe 15 and I got talking to him about smoking weed and he shrugged his shoulders and said he'd packed it in 2 years ago !

He went off to fish a swim he'd been putting some bait in and came running back an hour later claiming to have seen a ghost 😳

Not being negative mate, just saying that I think smoking weed can effect your mental health, it did me.

I don't see any negativity here, far from it. I see a lot of support and respect for the lad. Big up to him.

Pity the interviewer wouldn't stop rambling on but good listen. Anxiety is a horrible debilitating thing.

Hopefully his honesty will raise awareness.

The sad thing is that it's self inflicted and the negative effects may be with him for years.

Finally got round to watching this, good vid and seems like a nice lad. Beautiful fish and well done to him for getting through his issues and succeeding, all some people want to do is find the negative in anything but that's an unfortunate thing that is prevalent with social media and with anyone that puts themselves out there.

Not quite a Tel vid, but enjoyable.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
