Arrogant, idiotic, fool that has read a few books and been to college. I've lived it for 43 years, excepting outliers, he is wrong. You can't lump cannabis in with other drugs. 99.99% of people COULDN'T start a fight whilst high. It has the complete opposite effect. There are outliers in everything. As for studies, Ragan demanded a study that said cannabis was dangerous. They had to give so much columbian marijuana to beagles so that they died of smoke inhalation. They wouldn't have got paid for a negative result. Ive already said it but he is a fool, an arrogant fool.

I once read a book that said that Jack climed a bean stalk, but I didn't believe it without further investigation, and I was a child! You can't know everything from reading books. Ive seen doctors and drug workers and psychologists argue with clients that they are right because they've read it and have qualifications and the person actually experiencing it is wrong. Arrogance unbridled. High in IQ, VERY low in common sence and humility. A lot of them are their own greatest fans.

A 'casual' link. Like I say, I've NEVER seen it in 43 years. Not once. In fact, the very opposite. I've seen it and experienced myself how anger and rage can be completely transmitted into peace and calm by cannabis. NEVER seen it do the opposite. Those damn murderous hippies! The 60's must have been a killing field compared with any period in the west preceding it then. I don't think so. Money for old rope.

Those states mentioned are all contested states between CJNG and Sinaloa (plus about 25 other smaller cartels). When USA legalised it forced the cartels to sell more heroin, then a heroin/fentynol mix, then pure Fenta. This is the ONLY way that marijuana cases violence. It basically correlates with the rise of CJNG and violence in mexico, especialy in border states that are all porous, also in transportation hubs. Plus transients plus god knows what else. How can you isolate cannabis as a cause? Only for carnivores, it could be a lot higher. As I've said, never seen or heard of cannabis related violence in 43 years. Ive smoked with paranoid schizophrenics, other countries, realy sketchy locations with realy sketchy people....never seen or heard of it once. But I bet he would tell me I'm wrong. Perhaps I just havn't read the right book or study.

Iv'e been around cannabis in all of its forms including pure THC for 43 years. A small percentage of people get a psychotic reaction to ANY use, ie., one joint. They should not smoke it. It is not known yet weather ANYONR can become psychotic from it or weather it is just that small percentage. I have NEVER seen ANYONE become violent after smoking cannabis. A study should be done to compare cannabis use in wealthy and poor neighbourhoods because the main correlation between crime in general and people, in my experience and oppinion is socioeconomic in nature, excepting rare exceptions, of course. It's the same for most of lifes' problems. Or, it could be that low IQ, poverty and having criminal tendencies in a lot of cases that result in being poor. I belove it is a mixture of the two. This may have changed due to relaxed laws. My experience, living in this one horse upright country, is of life under cannabis prohibition. Compare the murder rate where the poor live with the with where the wealthy live. As with all things, it's probably much more complicated than this but the things that this man says as facts simply havn't been proven yet. Well done Joe for holding his feet to the fire. My oppinion is not due to cognitive dissonance. I have worked in many detox centres and rehabs and have an A level in psychology and read continually on the subject.

These studies do not take other factors into account, also, they are small number studies. Alcohol, arguing over women (or men ) and poverty are the main causes of murder, in my oppinion. The psych industry is like witch doctory, money to sit silently and listen or write a prescription most of the time. A Burger King employee could do it given a little training and a diagnostic manual (and something to pass the time whilst people yatter on). Not worth 100,000+ per year, in my oppinion. It's a racket. I have worked in this too. Virtually noone gets cured and that is fine. K'ching!
