Maybe you could address 14, where the poster said, "San Francisco, where we have probably the highest rate of marijuana usage in the country, and I encounter delusional people like this regularly".

And if all those people smoke pot in SF as the poster alluded to, and it makes them crazy, why is the murder rates and other crime rates so low compared to other cities in the Midwest, South and other regions?

Thanks!

Look, I’ve already explained this to you. Pot is a factor in some violent crime, but is just one of many factors. 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.

San Franciso is NEAR the top of property crimes for all US cities based on population density. Number 3 as a matter of fact. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate )

It's number 10 for motor vehicle thefts, Number 2 for larceny/theft and 23 for arson. And that's not counting all the "petty" crimes that aren't prosecuted due to the "caring" concern for the homeless (i.e. pooping in the streets, panhandling, prostitution, etc etc)

In addition Oakland, just across the bay, is one of the most dangerous cities in America as far as violent crime goes. So it's a crime ridden city populated by potheads and other druggies who commit all kinds of crimes.
