The murder rate was up in 2008, down in 2010, up again sharply in 2012 (to the highest point in recent years), then down again in 2013 (though not as far as 2010), then up to another peak in 2015, then (only slightly) down again in 2016, before ticking back up.

The latest figures we have are from 2017, showing the murder rate had hit a new high, marginally exceeding 2012.

Marijuana was legalized for recreational use in 2012, and the drug became available to the public in July 2014, in the midst of a murder rate increase.

So....the rate goes up and down...

Studies show that ice cream consumption causes drownings since they both go up in the summer.

:youreafag::youreafag:

It's probably quite the opposite. Smoke a bowl bro, give it a try. I promise that the last thing you'll want to do is murder someone...

Oh, and this^^^

Shut up, ridiculous!

I don't smoke, but a lot of people I work with do. It makes them chill and unmotivated. The meth-heads, and crackheads are the violent ones. I call bs,this was probably backed by big pharma, then fed to the Fake news.

Seems like OPs heroin addiction has finally completely rotted his brain (not that there was much to rot lol).

Francis - why are you posting new threads when you haven't responded to posts from your previous ones?

Like this one for example - from yesterday. You said you couldn't access the link, so I posted the article, which I'll do again for you.

The coroner who said "cannabis poisoning" killed a British mother of three is likely blowing smoke.

Gemma Moss, 31, a devout Christian, reportedly collapsed and died after smoking half a joint at her home in Bournemouth, England.

Coroner Sheriff Payne found that she had moderate to high levels of pot in her system and attributed her death to cannabis toxicity, according to British news sites such as the Mirror Online and The Telegraph.

They say this would make her the first English woman to fatally overdose on marijuana.

"The postmortem could find no natural cause for her death, with the balance of probability that it is more likely than not that she died from the effects of cannabis," said Payne, according to The Telegraph.

The Daily News reached out to several New York doctors to see if someone could possibly die from pot.

Dr. Bradley Flansbaum, a hospitalist at Lenox Hill Hospital, and Dr. Yasmin Hurd, professor of psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, agreed that it is virtually impossible.

"From half a joint? That's ridiculous," Hurd said.

Both said that it is possible for someone to die after smoking pot if it had been laced with another drug. But that person would have died from the other, harder drug — not the cannabis.

"It would be very, very, very unlikely to get a lethal dose of the marijuana if wasn't adulterated with something," said Flansbaum.

They also agreed that the rush or anxiety from toking up could potentially exacerbate an underlying heart condition, or similar ailment, that could kill a person. Again, that condition, not the marijuana, would be responsible for taking the life.

Mason Tvert, director of communications for the Marijuana Policy Project, said a woman dying from pot is as likely as someone dying by walking off the edge of the Earth.

"It's been proven impossible. It flies in the face of decades and decades of medical research," said Tvert.

American Scientist, a prestigious science and technology magazine, published a report on the toxicity of recreational drugs. According to the study, a person would need to drink 10 times the average amount of alcohol it takes to get a buzz in order to overdose. But for marijuana, someone would need to consume more than 1,000 times the average amount it takes to get a little high in order to die.

"You would need to literally consume a third of your body weight in marijuana," Tvert said. "There are no acute marijuana deaths."

Drugged-up mong on benefits spends his life reposting the DM on here all day.

A truly pointless existence.

He's not smart enough to realise the DM is and always was, run by satanists.

Nice work OP.

Cunt.

It couldn't be the illegals now could it. It couldn't be that everyone is on the brink. No, you'll blame everything else. Smoke a joint and cool your jets.

Speak for yourself mate, after a couple bowls I'm in the mood to Murder me some Sara Lee.

Colorado legalized marijuana recreationally first. Washington only did medical first yet had no infrastructure for tax, distribution etc. your article is wrongs you should credit evil Colorado for unleashing the marijuana genie. When are you going to stop with the propaganda. If anything you said we're true, it would be on the nightly news. Literally tens of millions of people consume this product daily. Surely someone would shows some symptoms by now. Most people I know consume well over 30 mg a day. Most are Republican, most are business professionals.

Two additional items, Francis:

Have you read the book you post about, or even reviewed anything by the author?

My guess is probably not. Here's a reminder to you - always do your research.

The facts in the book have been found to be misleading.

No thanks.

I value my sanity and mental health.

Well then you should quit all the opiods you are on, they are clearly having a negative impact on both your sanity and mental health.

This guy is the best shill for marijuana it gives people the incentive to research it for themselves and find the truth. I can tell you lots of people are figuring out the truth. The dispensary near me can't keep up with the demand. CBD sells are through the roof. The cat is out of the bag!

The Whitby coward won't debate with anyone...This is why the mods should ban the idiot....These threads are Spamming.

Already been proved cannabis causes more violence even domestic and we have been through it already.

A study by Ryan C. Shorey et al. (2018) linked marijuana use and interpersonal violence (IPV). The authors began by reporting that marijuana use is commonly reported among men arrested for domestic violence, a report that is concerning given the fact that past research has established a link between marijuana use and IPV.

They found that marijuana use was “positively and significantly associated” with all forms of IPV (physical, psychological, and sexual) even after controlling for all three risk factors.

Thread: Cannabis use common cause of Domestic Violence


Cannabis users are more likely to commit violent crime, pioneering research has shown.

It warned those who smoke the drug regularly run an increased risk of using violence against others.

The project is the first to demonstrate that cannabis is not only linked with violent crime but is the cause.

Researchers said that cannabis causes violence and they found no evidence that the link is the other way round – ie that violent people are more likely to use cannabis.

Thread: Cannabis users are more likely to commit violent crime

It makes me murder a whole bag of cheetos

Apparently, there's a bit of a problem with following directions. That is an additional side effect of opiod dependence.

I asked that you review and respond to what I posted. I didn't ask you to point back to previous threads where your claims have been refuted.

Now, try again.

Also, please respond on what I posted concerning Gemma Moss.

I have never taken heroin in my life. I am not a dirty, robbing skaghead you idiot.

Don't care, coroners verdict is final. Make a thread about it if you want to discus it, I don't respond to derailing comments anymore.
