Smoking cannabis DOES make people more violent

Well, I am looking at the journal it was published in.. It is one of what is called 'the predatory journals' where you pay to publish. I then looked up Dr Jules Durge. The various publicans claimed he was associated with the University of Montreal. I then went to the university of Montreal, and looked up the people associated with the department of psychology. Interesting enough, there is no Jules Durge associated with the University of Montreal in the department of Psychology, nor can I find any other paper that was attributed to him.

So, we got a pay for publish journal, .. publishing a paper from someone who does not appear to have published before, and does not appear to be associated with the University that it is claimed he is associated with.

That sounds.. suspect to me.

The so-called study sounds like actual fake news.
 
Well, who'd of known this based on the pro-MJ BS out there.

Stop basing stupid melt-downs on even stupider lies.

Heh. Thank you for doing the legwork.



99.99999% of the time a thread like this turns out to be complete BS.

There are certain sources that when it makes science claims about something that might be signicant, I have gotten into the habit of going to the rabbit hole to see how valid it is. Sometimes it actually is reasonable.
 
Well, we have a self-centered pre-teen as POTUS, and his 1950's issue AG is going to try to destroy a thriving industry along with at least 29 lab experiments on how best to wind down the drug war.

29 states have legal pot. Jeff Sessions wants to stamp it out, and he's closer than you think - LA Times

The 85 words almost seemed an afterthought when Congress hurriedly crammed them into a massive budget bill late in the Obama administration, as if lawmakers wanted to acknowledge America’s outlook on marijuana had changed, but not make a big deal of it.

Almost three years later, a multibillion-dollar industry and the freedom of millions to openly partake in its products without fear of federal prosecution hinge on that obscure budget clause.

But now, Congress may throw it overboard amid pressure from an attorney general who views marijuana as a dangerous menace.

What has become known as the Rohrabacher-Farr amendment constitutes a single paragraph of federal law. It prohibits the Justice Department from spending even a cent to prosecute medical marijuana users and sellers operating legally under state laws. Since its passage, it has largely shut down efforts by federal prosecutors or drug enforcement officials to interfere with otherwise legal sales of marijuana in 29 states and the District of Columbia that have passed legalization measures.

The prospect that the ban on prosecutions could expire has spread anxiety across the marijuana industry.

In California, the freedom of an attorney facing jail time for advising a marijuana operation hangs in the balance. In Washington, a pro-marijuana GOP congressman ponders whether to use the White House access he has gained to enlist President Trump’s help preserving the pot amendment.

Pot sellers and patients wonder if federal raids are next.

“It is shocking to think that this is at risk,” said Sarah Trumble, deputy director of social policy and politics at Third Way, a centrist think tank that advocates easing federal restrictions on cannabis.
 
Colorado still has a lower homicide rate than the national average.
 
If federal agents start raiding pot shops, mark my words people are going to get hurt. And it will further drive the wedge through this nation.

If you think marijuana is more harmful than alcohol, you’re a complete moron. And you shouldn’t be able to vote, or even breed. I honestly put you people right up there with the irrationality of racists and every other bigot.

I been known to violently attack twinkies, tacos and such while in the throes of the vile weed. It has even been known to cause a great thirst in me, a thirst that is easily calmed by pure, cool water believe it or not.

There is a name for that thirst, but it escapes me.
 
A drunk driver approaces a stop sign and ignores it, driving right thru, a pot head driver approaces the stop sign, and waits for it to turn green. In all my years of hanging with ganja lovers, i have NEVER seen one get violent, unless alcohol was involved with the green. I have frequented many of Amsterdams Coffee Shops, very mellow, folks playing cards, checkers, sipping there coffee. I have also been to a few Amsterdam bars, LOUD, often agreessive folks who cant handle their booze, i know which one I prefer.

I am far from a conspiracy nut, but there are lots of pwerful entities that have much to gain by stopping the reform of cannabis laws, you researched some, more people need to do the same.
 
yep, when i am stoned, any junk food in the vicinity is about to get hurt

The only thing a stoner has killed is a bag of Doritos and a box of Twinkies, jeesh lay off the weed hate. I would far prefer to hang with a stoner than a drunk anyday.

Bullcrapio! Why were they 'psychiatric' patients in the first place? More violent then when drinking alcohol?? Double bullcrapio!

Seriously, unless there was additives sprinkled on, it's just not believable.
 
Being a psychiatric patient does not mean that you are mentally ill. It's that kind of stigmatizing people that makes it even harder for people to get the help they need... :(

What does it mean? Technically, if you are a patient that means something is not right.

They also have a lower rate of opioid overdoses and less alcohol is sold in states where marijuana is legal. Seems like someone has an interest to keep marijuana illegal. Who could that be?
Why the alcoholic in pharmaceutical lobbyist. There will be a strange mix of religious people coming out against marijuana as well. Putting Christians, alcoholics, and opioid addicts on the same team.
