They also tend to become pot evangelists. What other drug causes its users to become proselytizers?
LOL!
Popcorn time.
Ya wanna a drug that makes people extremely violent? Try alcohol...Ask any cop.
Rep. Gibby Giffords....who can ever forget her?
all too predictable.
“THC, the chemical that causes a euphoric high”
All it ever did for me was make me stupid...er......and broker.
The days of mild seed-filled joints are long gone. Now kids inhale super concentrated dabs and such...not good.
Neighbor cannabis smoker suggested the hyperemesis was caused by pressure on nerves by clothes over digestive tract, especially at belt line. The top button on pants seemed to hit a pressure point that caused the discomfort.
There is a MUCH stronger correlation of tobacco use in schizophrenics than there is for cannabis. 50-80% of schizos are tobacco users depending on the study. Yet we understand the mentally ill are simply more likely to use tobacco for the calming effects and don’t jump to the conclusion that tobacco “may have” caused their mental illness.
In a twin study of 400+ twins to determine actual causation, ZERO brain differences were detected in the cannabis abusing twins.
While twins abusing alcohol were shown to have brain damage by age 24!

I’ve never met a violent pot smoker. Alcohol is another story. Most drug users (meth, et al) use pot to sleep, so there is crossover. Violent folks are on something else.
You’re not putting the genie back in the bottle on this one.
That way when the pot worshippers fry their brains from persistent use (as pot smokers tend to do nowadays unlike decades ago) the rest of us won't be on the hook for their food and housing.
Oh some at FR will be unhappy with this data
her name is gabby...
you wanna hit?... 😁
Kind of interesting, because pro-pot has been a big Democrat and libertarian issue for years. I am ambivalent about its medicinal effects, but its social effects aren’t good.
I remember an old drug and alcohol counselor saying, “I’m not going to argue about whether its addictive or the trapdoor to other drugs, but I will tell you that smoking it makes you not worth a damn. You won’t want to do anything bit sit on the couch and eat Cheetos.”
They are going to turn us into a third world basket case, take away everything we hold dear, and also refuse us any anesthetic. Thanks, WSJ.
This is ‘Reefer Madness’-level nonsense. Has the author ever met any pot smokers? If anything, it makes them mellow and slows them down.
Now, it is psychoactive and may reduce motivation in some people. On the other hand, there are plenty of people like Elon Musk who use weed and are high achievers.
The article is just scare-mongering.
There is no limit to the human desire to control the behavior of others.
