"Dr. De La Haye points out that marijuana contains tetrahydro cannabinol which has been proven to exacerbate aggressive behaviour"
Where is this proof? I have never known anyone to get aggressive while high on pot....alchohol yes, and other drugs, but not pot.
I think the the jamaican crime problem is rooted in other reasons....
And no I don't smoke dope, in fact I don't think there is any redeeming value to it in terms of recreational use....apparently it does relieve pressure in the eyes to aid with glaucoma. Good...otherwise pot is way overblown...pun intended!
Set General Quarters about the ship. Potheads imminent. This is not a drill. :)
Nagin was just there.

ROTFLMAO!! This will attract them like gnats to flypaper LOL
<<<< setting up air-fresheners around the room :-)
pot is clearly related to crime in the US. The outlawing of pot and other drugs has provided an underground economy in which gangs have grown and become wealthy. Now that's a crime.

Yes, another FReeper told me about that in the linked thread. Apparently he preferred the sunny beaches of RastaLand over Thanksgiving instead of helping displaced Nawlins residents. I have no doubt that he will be reelected in a landslide. "sigh"
There's also the effect MJ has on your ability to make good judgments, and if you were using while you were evaluating whether or not your companions were getting violent, that might be the problem in your chain of observations.
I'd suggest you quit your toking, but I don't want to. MJ has some negative impacts and I really do want you to get as many of them as possible.
I hafta agree w/ you...this is a bunch of anti-marijuana BS. I know, because I DO smoke marijuana, & I'm not ashamed to say so...& whenever I inhale, getting violent is the LAST thing I am concerned about. I've been a pothead for 28 years (I'm 43), & not once have I ever been involved in a violent situation when I have a good marijuana buzz, & neither have any of my friends that I'm aware of.
Alcohol, YES; marijuana, NO (thank God I don't drink!)

Your'e funny! Go back and read my full post, all of it. Then respond, if you wish, fully armed wiht the knowledge of my full post.
I haven't smoked pot in over 25 years, and don't plan to start up again. However, anyone positing a link between violence and Marijuana is stupid. A link between pot and being a fuzzy headed simpleton, yeah. Pot and laziness, sure. Pot and memory loss, absolutely. But not violence. Just ain't so.
Take a trip to Jamaica and tell the doctor that his eyes are telling him lies.
I don't believe you.
Unbelievable. Some "leaders" have no shame.
I'm shocked that he reached this conclusion. Tainted study.
A good case can be made for the rising crime rate in Jamaica being tied to the fact that it has become a "jumping off point" for cocaine transport to the USA. If you want to post a link between coke and crime, I am on board. Simply stating "there is a link between marijuana and crime" is not what we call "documented." Get the difference?
