As someone else said, let’s not confuse causation with correlation. Psychotics will often self-medicate with everything in sight, except perhaps their prescribed medication.

Going on 50 years of casual usage... not too crazy yet, and too old to cause much damage anyway.

Maybe has something to do with making them more paranoid? We know that from decades.

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.

CodeToad in this case you don't know what you are talking about. I dealt with people for 25 years who became violent after smoking pot.

I will give you one example. A guy calls up and tells a 911 dispatcher that he might be thinks he is having a heart attack. So we get there and he won't answer his locked doors. But when we pulled up we saw a wide open window on the second floor. So my crew and I laddered it and I quickly went through the window and started going down the stairs.

I saw a guy sitting naked on a couch across the room from the stairway and when I was part way down he pulled a handgun out from between the cushions, pointed it at me and started pulling the trigger. I continued quickly down the stairs and out the front door.

The guy was a psycho obviously; he had been sitting around smoking pot all morning and came up with this bazaar plan to lay a trap to shoot someone (me) and then kill himself. Fortunately for me this loser pothead had loaded the bullets in the magazine of his semi-auto handgun backwards.

I had enough other weird experiences with loser potheads that I can most definitely say that in many individuals pot loosens the criminal imaginations in many individuals and they in their clouded reality they do things that they normally would not.

“team, led by Dr Jules R Dugre, said existing evidence on the links between cannabis and violence was ‘limited’ but their project had ‘clinical and violence risk management implications’”

"Pioneering Research"

The definition of "pioneer" is face-down in the mud with two arrows in your back.

I think the studies have shown causation and brain damage.

I don’t know about violence, but anecdotally I can tell you every single person I know who has continued heavy pot use over a long period of time has severely diminished mental capacity. Every single one, including some who were once brilliant people.

It is not harmless.

Psychotics don’t want to admit that they did it to themselves.

That explains my 12 year old step daughter, who started exhibiting those issues when she was 8! Who knew she was pothead!

Sorry for all the redundancy in my sentences. I was talking to my wife and typing at the same time but not smoking pot.

No, not every psychotic got there using pot. But pot does account for a lot of psychotics.

The article is a steaming pile of horse manure. However, crack, meth, smack, speed, can cause bad things to happen. Weed, not so much. My experience with the herb spans half a century - I don’t even kill spiders, let alone people.

“Pot makes you psychotic.”

If this were true prohibitionists & their nanny-state brethren in the gov’t would be broadcasting this info 24/7 across all forms of media. Millions of people would be lined up for admittance to a mental health facility for beds that do not exist. Every local news broadcast would feature at least one crying mother or grandmother every hour, “Pot made my baby crazy!”
