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] So even though you know more violent crime is committed because of opiates, you won't touch it because it helps you? [/quote] What violent crime? Maybe that's what happens in your shitty country but why would I care about that? I'm British! [/quote] Your original post is about Washington state in the United States, this whole topic is about the United States. Now you say you don't care about what this entire thread is about...why the fuck post this thread then? [/quote] We are talking about the devils lettuce and its link to violent crime not opioids. I don't care what heroin/opioid addicts do here or in the USA as long as they overdose and fucking die. Opioids help people who live with chronic pain like me and is a safe medicine taken as prescribed while Cannabis has no medical value and THC is a dangerous drug that causes multiple mental health problems as well as physical. [/quote] I had spine surgery for cauda equina syndrome and learned to walk again. Marijuana helped the nerves in my legs make that happen For five years I live with tingles in my legs 24/7 and marijuana helps me tolerate it . I work 40hrs a week, married and am a productive member of society [/quote] Yeah, I have two fucked disc. One in my neck and lower back, I have more neurosurgery next month but they say I probably have got "failed back syndrome" or some shit now and fucked. The only thing that makes the nerve pain bearable is a combination of opioids, amitriptyline and gabapentin. [/quote] This is the last time I am going to try to help you. Take Vitamin D3 for a few days and see what happens to your pain. [/quote] I take a 40,000 IU vit d3 capsule once a week prescribed by docs and have done so for years because some of my meds deplete it like gabapentin and methotrexate . [/quote]

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.
