V needs to do some homework on the mental health profession these days.

His proposal is going from the frying pan into the fire.

The “professionals” will just get the perps addicted to new dangerous drugs....

Agree. I’ve heard mental health officials say that the younger generations a more mentally unstable than the older generations. Makes sense. Given the crap they’re made to believe.

There is a vast mental illness epidemic, but I suspect, if simple low-IQ is excluded, accounts for a very small percentage of assaults and murders using firearms.

Criminal gangs. Conflict over dope sales/territory. Robberies, Carjackings. Racial attacks. Fights over women. Drug zombies.

Which items in that short list are caused by “mental health problems”? Yet those categories generate most crime. Loons committing mass shootings are horrible, but account for a tiny percentage of victims.

I agree with you about it sapping motivation but as far as making one crazy and/or more prone to violence that is total bs. I wish you people who don’t consume cannabis yourself and know nothing of its effects would quit with your erroneous opinions on the subject.

It’s very hard to enjoy the freedoms we are entitled to when mental illness goes unchecked and untreated. If the government fails to control the mentally ill, then normal people will restrict their activities and give up freedoms to protect themselves and their families.

Indeed. The left insists on playing with fire by always trying to protect the mentally ill. All the gun laws in the world will not matter if you dont call a criminal a criminal or a psycho a psycho…..and treat them as such.

There is a significant % of young people who will develop schizophrenia and/or other mental problems as a result of pot use. It is playing Russian roulette for a young person to get high.

I contend those that are diagnosed with schizophrenia after experimenting with marijuana would have eventually come down with it anyway. At most you could say it might act as a trigger in the same way a traumatic event/environment might trigger schizophrenia in those susceptible to it. But if you don’t have the genes for it marijuana use wont cause it.

“We do when doctors are giving their patients prescriptions for ever little sniffle. Oh and of course trying to force an experimental deadly jab for every patient that visits.”

No, that does not cause mental illness as an excuse for criminality.

NO IT’S NOT.

he’s an idiot raghead. Not worthy of the Office. And not just for that reason.

The “mental problems” are part of the commie playbook. Declare a person incompetent and lock them up.

The REAL PROBLEM IS CRIMINAL, GANG MEMBERS AND THE LACK OF BEING RAISED PROPERLY (as in teaching Right from Wrong by parents) !!!

President Trump DID Make America Great for four years!

HOWEVER, Sloe Joe, The Hoe, their criminal administration and a gang of LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist/Communist Democrats, along with the RINO never-Trumpers conspired steal the 2020 election!

Once assured of gaining power, they immediately began to plan for the “undoing” of Trump’s America.

They implemented/executed their plan within minutes of Sloe Joe and The Hoe being inaugurated!

America and the world will suffer for a long time after Sloe Joe and The Hoe are out of office!

So which is it?

There are some studies being done and they should be looked at seriously and not just thrown away out of hand.

Unfortunate when the attending enforcement agencies were unable to foil the known sociopathic violence.

The massacres often committed by young white males have a significant mental derangement factor — factors effectively ignored by the taxpayer-funded mechanisms meant to manage them. Tucson, Parkland, Buffalo, & Newtown to name a few cases.
