Smoking cannabis DOES make people more violent: Project confirms for the first time that using the drug is the cause of crimes
There's a list of shocking individual cases with information about each of those in the article under "THE SHOCKING TOLL OF ATTACKS LINKED TO CANNABIS USERS." Just follow the link.
Oh my...’And. Here. We. Go.’
Many cannabis users also drink alcohol and take other drugs.
What I got from the article is that psychotics may act out while stoned. Or otherwise.
Maybe states like California-Nevada-Colorado should invest POT-Profits in law enforcement...
Gee...I never saw that coming. Also, more people smoking the crap means more people stealing stuff to sell for dope money. I know crime is way up in Alaska since we “legalized” dope.
What a crock.
I’ve not touched dope since 1977, and think it’s stupid to do so, but I hung around a LOT of potheads and casual users. NOT ONCE did I see more violent behavior.
The key to comedy is that it is based in reality. This is what makes the old Cheech and Chong comedy act and their movies so funny to those that like them.
(Not to mention my own beautiful states of mind of 40 plus years' worth ..... )
“It warned those who smoke the drug regularly run an increased risk of using violence against others...”
Especially if they “Bogart that joint”...
Pot doesn’t make people commit violent crimes. That’s just a idiot not knowing the difference between causation and association. Our education system graduates morons.
The type of people who smoke pot are the type of people most likely to commit crimes, but in no way does the pot cause criminal activity.
We’ve gotten so dumb in this country that even Velcro shoelaces confuse us.
LMAO!!! Funniest headline so far this year. Whatta buncha douche nozzles.
That headline does not reflect the journal article's conclusions.
I call BS on this article based on my personal experience as a medical marijuana patient. Also I know numerous cannabis users & have worked with scores more as a performing musician & none of them ever showed any hint of violence.
The “subjects” of this article prove only that people who don’t take their meds properly for they psychiatric illness are apt to do about anything, including committing violence on others.
Pure prohibitionist propaganda, IMO.
So does alcohol
Ask the spouses and children of an alcoholic
When pot was first outlawed, there was a texas senator that spoke on the floor of congress. And said Mexicans were crazy and it’s smoking pot that makes them that way.
Science is catching up to the senator.
If you say so George.
This research will make the WeedWankers violently defensive.
HA! No it doesn’t. It makes you want to eat cake and stare at your aquarium. :-)
Balderdash.
It's funny how conservatives typically scoff at such statistical shenanigans—except when it suits their prejudices.
But, even if such nonsense was true, everyone knows that nothing can compare to alcohol as far as triggering violence. Alcohol far surpasses anything else I've ever seen—and that includes hard drugs.
I'll take a stoner over a drunk any day of the week...
Congratulations, this is the stupidest thing I’ve read today.
