This why weed should not be legal. The stuff people smoke today is not the stuff the hippies smoked in the 60s. There is a link between marijuana use and violent crime as this study shows. And the lobbyists for marijuana try to hide these studies. Much like how tobacco lobbyists fought to hide the negative effects of cigarettes.
One question I asked that no one wants to answer is how can a drug that causes paranoia and anxiety be used to treat anxiety?

I wonder if there is a link between alcohol and violence. Any studies on that?

So why hasn't Canada seen a sharp increase in violent crime after legalization?

Edit: also should note, a fairly common side effect of anti-anxiety drugs is them causing anxiety. Of course I'm sure you already knew that because you put ever so much stock in studies, yeah?

not every individual is the same. it "can cause paranoia and anxiety".

curious, are you intentionally arguing in bad faith, or do you actually not understand the difference?

Tag definitely tracks.

"14 cases of violence"

LMAO.

Didnt you make this topic already and it got closed?

"...focusing specifically on the cases of violence amongst some marijuana users. Here, we present 14 cases of violence with chronic marijuana users that highlight reoccurring consequences of: marijuana induced paranoia (exaggerated, unfounded distrust) and marijuana induced psychosis (radical personality change, loss of contact with reality)."

extremely damning. Ban marijuana

Weed made me commit insurrections against my govt so yes I agree with TC's quicksilving ass.

Whoops my bad.

How about...

192 million users of marijuana.

And only 14 cases of violence?

Lolol

LMAO you actually made this topic again without the desperate defense of the alt right wacko after your last attempt was closed? What's wrong with you?

When people compare a legal drug to an illegal drug saying the legal drug is worse it just makes me think that maybe the legal drug should be made illegal

Is the link that it makes people more peaceful?

A paper with a clear agenda that takes 14 cases where it assumes marijuana was the cause of violence is not very convincing.

Give me my weed or Ill beat your ass

No u

192 million users of weed. 14 cases of violence.

I just looked at the link, it's not even a study! It's just some anti-marijuana propaganda making assertions! It's completely worthless scientifically.

So you want prohibiton 2.0 in 2024? Lmao good luck with that

Pure bullshit. Just like how weed turns everyone into rampaging rape machines. Fuck sake weed is the only thing that stops me from becoming violent in this fucked in the head clown world.

here's a study that shows a link between right-wing politics and violence. we should ban them too

In both datasets we find that individuals and attacks associated with left-wing causes are less likely to be violent

lmao dude was lucky he didnt catch a warn for trolling this low effort

correlation != causation

This is a marijuana hit piece with no actual analysis. It takes 14 cases of violence and says all of them used marijuana. They all probably wore pants and drank water.

This study has no value

One study doesnt mean all dat much.

Idk about the violence part but I know the issue with legalization of cannabis is people have no idea what works for them. What dose, which strain, and how much is a big question and issue with people. Some of these dispensaries hire people off the street too who dont know what theyre doing lol.

I cant go anywhere without smelling weed in public from someone. I went to an empty Petsmart last night and the doorway stank of bad weed. I go to work and theres always someone you can smell it on. People abuse it too much. Im all for it being legal, but keep that shit at home and do your research on it before you smoke or digest it.

Yes, but this applies to basically everything

lord if only the drunkards knew when to stop

I want to know what TC's stance on gun control is, but I imagine this is a troll topic. Does TC feel that we shouldn't ban certain guns because guns don't kill people, people kill people?

Because LOL if so

It really doesnt though. Doses and strains make a big difference compared to how much alcohol someone drinks lol.

I dont know what part of that makes legalization of it an issue. Cigarette smoke lingers on peoples clothes just as bad.

This has 500 potential

The fuck is this topic?

The part that makes it an issue is smoking before you go somewhere or doing it in your car. Knowing the effects it has on people is the problem and they should be doing it responsibly at home. Cigarettes and weed are not the same lol.

This is getting off subject though and I call BS on it making people violent overall. I was giving me two cents on weed in general, but it seems people are still too excited about it being legal and not thinking about the questionable parts.

How is doses vs amount of drinks different lmao

Unless you are over the age of 60, are hyper-religious, and / or are a sitting conservative politician farming points with your base, I just can't fathom any reason to be this anti-weed in Current Year.

Smoking before you go somewhere is a problem? Im not okay with high driving, but whats wrong with smoking and then going in public if you werent driving?

There's a pretty big difference between somebody drinking two beers or taking two shots of grain alcohol too.

If you dont know how being high and drunk are different then we cant have this conversation lol.

didn't i see this topic like a couple of hours ago

I don't know about violence, but I do know weed makes me more irritable. I always felt more annoyed and angry at people or things in life after using weed. My biggest issue was that it made my balls hurt >.>.

I don't take weed anymore.

Are you implying being high is more debilitating than being drunk? I dont understand what your point is.

Ban pants!!

This reads like the NRA whackos that say "People die of knife attacks too. Do you want them banned as well?"

Because when someone comes back and says "Yes. Yes we should." there's no comeback.

So... Yes. Ban alcohol as well.

i do that because most people don't want to ban alcohol. if TC would support banning alcohol as well, that would show consistency in his argument.

and in the rare case that someone says "Yes, ban both" my response is "lol".
