People who regularly smoke cannabis are almost three times more likely to commit a violent offence as those who abstain from the drug, new research has found.
Scientists involved in a landmark study of almost 300,000 teenagers and young adults believe that over time, prolonged cannabis use profoundly alters the brain, making the user less able to control their temper.
In addition, the research found addicts may also suffer from withdrawal symptoms, making them irritable and prone to lashing out.

“Faster,....play faster,....faster,....play faster,....FASTER!!!”
This is silly propaganda. Pot smokers are peaceful hippie types for the most part. The clothing and styles have changed with the times but the attitudes and pacifist nature still continues.
Everyone is pushing an agenda and the UK likes to look down their nose at us while they continue to lose a grip to the invading refugees. They aren’t allowed to write about the Muslim rape gangs.. Just ask Tommy Robinson.
Again this study was done on teenagers and young adults. 13 is a teenager..
rosins? Did you mean to type prisons?
I ki da suspect the violence is when they are not affected by THC, the brain balances. They might be rather unmellow between doses.
Side effect of low dopamine levels.
Asbestos undies on, extreme denial incomming....
IT’S BS
IT’S BS
But how do they commit violent crimes while playing video games in their parents’ basement?
yeah unless i was back in my pitching days. Thanx
I disagree. Teens should not be getting stoned for their own mental health.
Perhaps you were thinking about those glorious old memories when you were typing. 8>)
The only violence pot smokers do is to a bag of chips.
LOL

fixed it my parents beats us all the time..OMG if they didnt have any..burn down all distilleries...
I could use a toke down and again...
Theres something funny about the way they throw that linky word in there.
I think the personality plays a bigger role than the pot does on the violent nature exhibited by long term users of pot. But then again, pot has gotten much stronger than when I imbibed, so perhaps there is a new dynamic at play. So while I personally never felt more prone to commit acts of violence, I may be comparing apples to oranges for all I know. All I do know is I’m glad I no longer imbibe. 8>)
I’m sure the “study” did a great job for controlling for other variables /sarc
I don’t have to read any more to know that this study got an F in research 101
A “study” poorly done, and I am generous when I say poorly done, does not get better because it has a larger number of subjects.
Another steaming pantload from quack researchers and highly uneducated reporters.
I totally disagree with their so-called findings.
They are just trying to trick the pot smokers into joining in their ‘protests’.
