Cannabis users are more likely to commit violent crime

Hmmmm....

Not sure what to make of this.  Correlation or just the fact that people who already have violent tendancies might also be more apt to smoke pot?

Discuss amongst yourselves.

 

Smoking cannabis DOES make people more violent: Project confirms for the first time that using the drug is the cause of crimes

Cannabis users are more likely to commit violent crime, pioneering research has shown.

It warned those who smoke the drug regularly run an increased risk of using violence against others.

The project is the first to demonstrate that cannabis is not only linked with violent crime but is the cause.

Violent incidents monitored by the study based on the lives of more than 1,100 American psychiatric patients included assaults, attacks with weapons and rapes.

Really, the Daily Mail? Isn't that like using the New York Post as a source?

terrible article. 

trash posting trash. fitting. 

Well they did pick psychiatric patients for the study.

i heard it makes you into a myopic conservative troll

I can understand the reaction but they are reporting on a (supposedly) valid research effort.

Apparently with Turtle it makes one need to inject politics into everything. 

"Well they did pick psychiatric patients for the study."

That was my question.  Seems like that might make the results a bit biased.

Fake news

The story refers to "addiction to skunk cannabis."  

Yeah, using psychiatric patients as your study group kinda of throws off the usefulness of the study when applied to the general population.  And I am unsure how they got over the "causation v. association" issue.    

I don’t know, it seems like some of the most prolific smokers around here are also the most aggro. It befuddles me.

Maybe strong sativas are the culprit.

Slacker, have you noticed how the photo of the vegas shooter with his eyes closed, looks like the older version of that curly haired kid with his eyes closed at a show pic that is used here all the time?

I agree , Thom. Perhaps the foundation of the study(psychiatric patients) altered the results and maybe the producers intended those results.

 

Then again we're the patients dosed with a sativa?

 

I am to indica -ed up to read the link right now.

My bad, Briank already made the point.
