In fact, based on your statistics you provided, where you live in Michigan, Detroit has like 5 times higher per capita murder rates than the big pot smoking city of San Francisco.
Hmmm.
” According to your source, Dallas Texas has significant higher per capita murder rates than the big pot smoking city of San Francisco?
How do you explain that?”
High Hispanic population. Just watch the San Antonio news. The first 5-10 minutes is who got shot or stabbed.
It seems you’re saying the Hispanics in Dallas Texas are blood thirsty crazy compared than the pot heads in San Francisco. Do I have this right?
Well, he looks like he might have gone off of his nut now. Maybe he did earlier too, but nobody noticed or cared. PTSD can knock people off of their nut in later years.
And people of different cultures might react differently to weed. White folks might tend to bliss out and be harmless, militant Hispanic or black people might tend to go into war mode, etc.
Well, that explains why the wack job just started shooting at a Davis police officer. Auto accident was just happenstance. Guy was ready to blow. Looking for an opportunity. Yeah, expect to find some big pharma pills in his cabinet.

So far I see no cause and effect between the pot and the shooting of a cop except in your mind, which I'm sure has been bombarded with too much Irish whiskey.
Do you really want to go down this slippery slope of pot use causes people to think their brain is bringing bombarded with radio waves and in turn forces them to kill cops? Really?
That may be YOUR assertion but your assertion lies in fallow ground. Your lack of intellect is showing below your skirt's hemline.
No hurry. I'll be waiting in my office when you're ready.
'Cause it sure sounds like that's what you're saying.
Where is the racism?
No, just lot of defense of rational thought instead of wild-eyed assertions about pot users.
Because if you do, you should put in on the ground slowly and back away from it.
Your hole is getting deeper and deeper.
Best to quit before you bury yourself.
Just sayin'....
Go ahead. Make my day. You threw out the racism charge. Where’s the racism?
I'm sure the guy had a history of imbibing in all kinds of things, maybe even pot, and we have no evidence of. And what about eating and drinking all kinds of food and beverages too. Drinking alcohol to excess? Eating too many hot peppers? Where does it end? The choices are unending.
He was probably mentally ill. Who do we blame for that? His parents? Or his environment....San Francisco? Where does this need of yours come from to blame this whole thing on your imagining that he smoked pot and that's what caused him to do this...with a "90%" certainty....in your vast experience? Because we have absolutely no proof of that.
Asserting single causation factors makes for bad logic. Which is what you are engaging in.
Sure glad you're not a detective working on this murder case. The dead guy's guilty because "it seems to you" that he had to smoke pot because he wrote a note that his brain was being bombarded with radio waves and therefore he went out and murdered this poor newbie cop. Period. End of sentence.
Case closed, right detective?
".... Race is a bigger factor. Blacks commit approximately 50% of the homicides in the U.S. When S.F. has a tiny black population (approximately 60% less than the country as a whole) because median home prices are in the millions and rents are astronomical, you get a lower homicide rate...."
Or this gem: "....San Francisco has a lower African-American population than other large cities. S.F. black population has gone from 14% in 1970 to less than 5% now. Theyve left because they cant afford the place. And the homicide rate has trended down along with them....."
I didn't bring up race. You did. I was only responding to your racist statements.
Which of those statements is untrue? Just because you don’t like them doesn’t make them untrue.
