Everyone’s body reacts differently to different drugs. That’s why the results of any drug trial are confusing.

The results at the coroner's office are not confusing. Either the cause of death is known or not known. Under the influence of any drug it can be determined a level of violence above or below the base line of violence not under the influence of any drug. 

If the best in brightest in our country are left dulled and somehow politically changed, how does that affect America and how does it benefit countries trying to destroy it?

Not sure. It seems to me that the best and the brightest would be too smart to be, as you put it, "left dulled". Being smart to begin with how could they be left dull without being made dull first?

 But if a person can't or won't answer pertinent questions they're worthy of being ignored, IMO.

I used the term “best and brightest” somewhat sarcastically. Al Gore’s college roommate reported that Al smoked pot every day when he lived with him, as I recall. With his pre-college SAT V+M score of 1355, corresponding to an IQ of about 140, I would have expected better things of Al, like actually inventing the Internet instead of claiming to. Other than a total lack of motivation, what would have caused Al’s 140 IQ to result in flunking out of undergraduate courses? What caused that lack of motivation? I suspect that pot had something to do with it.

Another thing I failed to mention is that marijuana is not a single chemical entity like FDA approved drugs, which would have maybe two drug compounds maximum in a single pill. Instead there are hundreds or even thousands of compounds present in a plant like marijuana. Each one of these compounds could potentially have a deleterious effect.

Drug compounds can have many deleterious effects short of death, so I’m not sure what your point is about the coroner’s office.
