In graduate school I worked in local emergency rooms doing psychiatric evaluations of ER patients.

Saw a tremendous number of cocaine and crack cases, lots of heroin, pills, methamphetamine, you name it.

And always, tons and tons of drunks.

Never did anyone present where the primary problem was cannabis intoxication. Now many people were stoned on pot, but something else was the primary reason that they came to the ER.

I suspect that the pot heads are so passive that they don't do the things that get them arrested and brought to the ER.

They're probably crashed on the couch eating Oreos and watching Pokemon.

Pot heads, unlike drunks never start a sentence with "Hey guys, watch this!"

If the question is: "Does Cannabis use lead to psychotic breakdowns, or directly cause ER visits?" Then, you are correct, it does not seem to do this.

Psychosocial harm? If the question is: "Does Cannabis use decrease ambition and drive? Does it reduce the user's social skills? Does it correlate to missed classes or days at work, thereby contributing to lower social status and earning power?" I'd say this sort of psychosocial harm is rampant. But, no, ER visits do not correlate.

Maybe a visit to some RAL pot heads "homes" would sober your thought processes up a little. Filthy children, filthy homes, job jobs(min wage ofcourse). Yeah their passive alright. to passive to even live a half way decent life. Looking for the next bag.

I have seen change in people that smoke the stuff. IMO they get very selfish. Friends I had long ago, before they started on that crap (pot) were great guys willing to do anything for a friend. Then they became pot heads and got very selfish not caring about others, doing stupid things even when they were not high. Needless to say they are not my friends anymore.
