Interestingly enough, they accounted for that, and still found the result that pot makes potheads violent.
From the article: The academics said the effect of cannabis use was clear and not diminished by other factors such as patients who were heavy drinkers of alcohol.
Ahhhh. The "academics." I see.
As someone who has closely associated with dozens of members of the American pot subculture for the past half-century, from Massachusetts to Florida to California and back, and who for half of that time was a daily smoker, I can report having observed cannabis having quite the opposite effect on its users.
The exceedingly rare exceptions, if they occurred (I never personally witnessed violent pot smokers), would likely be from among those predisposed to violent behavior prior to their usage of any inebriant.
IMHO.
“pot makes potheads violent”
total and complete BS.
It says pot make schizophrenics violent.
All 1,100 test subjects were already in the nut house because they didn’t know what planet they were on. Once release, those who used pot regularly were more violent than the nut cases that didn’t.
Gee, that’s a world-class study right there.
And you give it credence? If so, that’s funny right there. I don’t care who you are.
