POTHEADS MORE LIKELY TO COMMIT CRIMES | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 30020815 12/18/2012 04:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Drug users in the general population are more Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29729580 likely than nonusers to commit crimes The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) National Household Survey on Drug Abuse asks individuals living in households about their drug and alcohol use and their involvement in acts that could get them in trouble with the police. Provisional data for 1991 show that among adult respondents (ages 18–49), those who use cannabis (marijuana) or cocaine were much more likely to commit crimes of all types than those who did not. So they lumped the statistics with marijuana "OR" cocaine? Probably 99.9999% of the crimes were from people who used cocaine. Interesting to compare alcohol with marijuana only! |

Smack addicts wouldn't need to steal for a fix if the product markup wasn't literally 10, 000%. Government could fulfill the addictions of every addict on the planet for pocket change. The drugs simply aren't costly to produce. Heroin for example is among the cheapest substances in the world to produce, yet it is worth more than it's weight in gold on the street. Gov. looks at drugs and sees a gold mine.... |

You just can't trust them! Quoting: Sedi Yup. I throw my car keys in the safe too. You never know when one of those types will want to take someone's car for an extra looong, slooow, caaareful drive. The last time that happened, I found the madman stopped at a stop sign a block down. I yelled at him, "Give me back my car man!" and he carefully explained that he needed to wait for the sign to turn green before he could keep going. I say get those madmen off the streets! |

Tons of people use it casually and responsibly and you never know. That's like saying alchohol is bad because every alcholic I've known has been a lazy angry wreck. |

Just because some fool in government defines it as a drug doesn't make it so. It is a food product and should be eaten by everyone. The health benefits of consuming marijuana are enormous. MOST people FEAR the word pot/marijuana because of negative programming. If OP or anyone spent 5 minutes to Google the benefits, these kind of stupid narrow minded posts wouldn't continue to foment the myth that marijuana is bad for you. And it will not make you jump off roofs or think you can fly. You may however eat a cookie take a nap! |

Heart disease: Marijuana might cause rapid heartbeat and short-term high blood pressure. A weakened immune system: Cannabinoids in marijuana can weaken the immune system, which might make it more difficult for the body to fight infections. Lung diseases: Long-term use of marijuana can make lung problems worse. Regular, long-term marijuana use has been associated with several cases of an unusual type of emphysema, a lung disease. Seizure disorders: Marijuana might make seizure disorders worse in some people; in other people it might help to control seizures. Surgery: Marijuana affects the central nervous system.

If you are the kind of person who will commit a crime, to have a good time, you are not a trustworthy individual, imo. Potheads are sacks of shit that fund a murderous criminal enterprise around the world. Selfish and self-centered, don't you think? |
