Violence type? Nope. More like responsibility type. Pot use has been linked to schizo and lower IQ’s. Obviously from anyone with real world experience. Cost-wise.. It’s incredibly expensive to have it around.

I would guess your automotive prefrence runs toward “Dodge”.

Can you address a single issue I have put to you? Just one?

Why can’t you openly admit the statistics show that the majority of ‘drug’ related violence comes from alcohol? The numbers are there. But it makes your position very hard to justify. So you ignore the fact and just plow right ahead with the same old.

This is exactly like the video game threads where in light of the fact millions of gamers have not snapped and killed their neighborhood, the ban-happy continue to insist that they are responsible for all the evil in the world.

Pathetic. And people call themselves conservatives while using all the tactics of the left.

No wonder so many people are going Indy.

Pot use has been linked to schizo

"But here's the conundrum: while marijuana went from being a secret shared by a small community of hepcats and beatniks in the 1940s and '50s to a rite of passage for some 70% of youth by the turn of the century, rates of schizophrenia in the U.S. have remained flat, or possibly declined. For as long as it has been tracked, schizophrenia has been found to affect about 1% of the population." (http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,2005559,00.html)

lower IQ’s

"researchers confirmed previous findings that alcoholism is associated with thinking problems and lower IQ" - http://www.ur.umich.edu/0506/Oct17_05/15.shtml

"heavy drinking may have extensive and far–reaching effects on the brain, ranging from simple “slips” in memory to permanent and debilitating conditions that require lifetime custodial care." - http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/aa63/aa63.htm
