People who regularly smoke cannabis are almost three times more likely to commit a violent offence as those who abstain from the drug, new research has found.
Scientists involved in a landmark study of almost 300,000 teenagers and young adults believe that over time, prolonged cannabis use profoundly alters the brain, making the user less able to control their temper.
In addition, the research found addicts may also suffer from withdrawal symptoms, making them irritable and prone to lashing out.

Any stats on meth? Crack? College degree?
Tobacco? Don’t annoy anyone going through nicotine withdrawals.
Am not buying this.
Cops I’ve talked to who support legalizing MJ say potheads are unlikely to commit violent crimes.
Unless potheads REALLY don’t like what our domestic enemies are doing to America?
Nope. The few I’ve met HATE everything Republican without question.
black people
Well they don’t call it reefer madness for nothing
Sounds like Big Media surveyed some users and were surprised to learn they support Trump. :-)
That is the silliest thing I’ve seen all day.
Could it be that those who smoke pot were 3 time more likely to be violent before they ever smoked pot? Is it not fair to say that a higher percentage of them came from the shady side of town.

In my experience, regular dope smokers are extremely ... mellow. Almost to the point of lassitude. Or torpor.
Wait...
REEFER MADNESS.
(Just for the record, I don’t touch the stuff)
Who was studied?
A bunch of them can be found out rioting tonight.
How much time do you spend around teenagers and young adult pot users? This study was done on teenagers and young adults!
I’m basing it on a couple of acquaintances only.
worked in rosins in the 70s you could smoke cigarettes depending on the staff who were in duty (newbies) some might smoke pot.
We used to joke, give them all pot they are more mellow and fewer fights and assaults on staff.
“That is the silliest thing I’ve seen all day.”
Why? This has been suspected for years.
