Further more show they where out of their minds after smoking pot and it caused them to commit murder. You cant because this is all biased bullshit. People commit murder all the time to get more opiates but i dont see you championing that cause. Wake up. [/quote] Why would I demonize opiates when they help since I am disabled chronic pain patient. For the last 20 years I have been on 3 opioid meds (tramadol, codeine and morphine) plus gabapentin, amitriptyline, diazepam and other meds for pain. [/quote] Oh okay so dont demonize opiates because you use them even though they are 200% worse in terms of violent crime. But because you dont use weed lets demonize that because you have a bias towards it. Do you even listen to yourself? You make no sense.....so what do you care about crime because you live in Brittain? Ya because there is no heroin caused violent crime in Brittain. You sir have the argument skills of a 6 year old spoiled little girl. And the queen including the whole royal family can kiss my ass. [/quote] LOL 200% worse, maybe in your fucked up country. Just because you Americans are a nation of violent, uncivilized, gun toting drug addicts doesn't mean that normal, civilized western countries are the same. Project much retard? [/quote] You are so full of rage, Francis. We've come full circle. Who hurt you? [/quote] Exactly..Something or someone hurt his feelings in the past...Something that involves cannabis and OP has been going through mental torture ever since...You have to have mental problems to do what this idiot is doing every day...A sound mind don't act this way.

Does marijuana make people violent? Washington state's murder and assault rate surged 40% after drug was legalized - and experts insist that's not a coincidence
Washington's murder and aggravated-assault rates surged 40% in 2013-2017
The state became the first to legalize marijuana recreationally in 2012, the drug became available to the public in 2014
A new book claims evidence shows marijuana causes mental illness and violence
Author Alex Berenson, a former New York Times reporter, outlines the drug's links to psychosis
He warns that pot is stronger now than it was in the 70s, and that increase the risk
Berenson claims the rise in homicides in Washington mirrors the uptick in cannabis use and hospitalizations for psychosis
The National Academy of Medicine says there are not enough studies on cannabis to understand the risks and benefits
US Surgeon General Jerome Adams has called for a rescheduling of cannabis so that it could be more widely studied by scientists
A new book claims that marijuana causes aggression, psychosis, suicides, violence - and that its legalization in Washington even triggered a 40 percent increase in murder rates.
There is little concrete information about the drug's benefits (despite plenty of claims) because its illegality has made it difficult to study.
But according to former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson, there is clear evidence that marijuana is not as safe - and certainly not as curative - as the pro-cannabis groups would have us believe.
