There is research that contradicts your personal experience. Additionally pot is a gateway drug for many. I am just stating that drug usage across the spectrum is a component part of these people going crazy.
Please Please tell me you got this research data from the gateway pundit
So you rationalizing tokers are claiming that drug usage which creates altered states in the mind in no way contributes to violence. I disagree.Lmao now your are pulling out 60’s propaganda? What conspiracy is this now?

totes the same thing
Growls, i'd have taken you for a big smoker considering how you seem to lap up every ****ing conspiracy theory out there
I’m saying with 100% certainty that caffeine, sugar, pills, and alcohol are way more harmful to the human mental state than marijuana
I make decisions based on logic and if my decision is likely going to produce the result I want or solve the problem at hand. People like me don't work for people like you who want to do things for optics, so they can say "at least we tried" when all you did was waste a bunch of time and resources on something that made no difference.
I clearly stated there were things I would not be opposed to changing, and would be open to other ideas if they are going to make a difference. Are you in favor of stricter laws for those caught with guns illegally and stiffer penalties for them and those who commit crimes in possession of weapons? It seems like this would be a pretty common sense place to start that would have broad support if we are trying to stop gun homicides. Those are not exactly gun laws as it related to obtaining them, but I think that would have more impact than anything else I have seen mentioned.
Others agree that the earth is flat. They are equally dumb.
There isnt. There is no research that suggests weed causes people to be violent.
This is extra idiotic for you. And just wrong.
Anyone who agrees with you that weed causes people to be violent is a huge idiot too.
Par for the course for that guy. Just look at a his posts about elections.
I provided a link already. Here it is again. Info from someone smarter than you.
Cannabis causes psychosis. Psychosis causes violence.
Yep, there it is, the first reference to cannabis use by Salvador Ramos, the Texas elementary school killer. In the New York Times. Took 24 hour…

They are pretty similar to all the fake voter suppression bs your side floats. Looks like Jim Crowe 2.0 really suppressed GA voting, right. Glass house and all that.

Is there a link between marijuana use and psychiatric disorders? | National Institute on Drug Abuse
Several studies have linked marijuana use to increased risk for psychiatric disorders, including psychosis (schizophrenia), depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders, but whether and to what extent it actually causes these conditions is not always easy to determine.
I must admit, I enjoy a gummy once in a while, these days. Relaxation at its finest.
tell me you’ve never smoked pot without telling me you have never smoked pot.
You should definitely change that. Just once. I promise it won't send you into a murderous rampage.
I'd much rather deal with someone who has been smoking pot all day instead of someone who has been drinking all day. Neither is good but at the end of the day you can drink yourself to death at a sitting, you can't with pot.
"As we grieve the children of Uvalde today, we should take time to remember that two years have passed since the murder of George Floyd"
Not sure how else to frame the above so you can wrap your head around how inappropriate that statement/tweet is regardless of sequencing but I guess maybe we just agree that we aren't going to agree and leave it at that?
Also, how about Beto's planned outburst at the presser from local officials where he had a news crew waiting outside to interview him after? You'll note that he offered no solutions to what is surmounting to be a pretty critical issue but instead, used a time of grief and angst to pick up momentum behind his campaign.
I am over all politicians red and blue. None of them give me any hope for a better tomorrow.
You remember when Trump was trying to do this and the left was too busy trying to have him impeached? Crazy times we live in.
I agree about Beto, terrible timing and really sad political posturing at an awful time. These guys have no shame.
Obama from what I'd read had planned the comments about Floyd for a while, it was a poor choice to link it with Uvalde. I would like to think it wasn't meant to try and link them,only a really poor transition.
Politicians on both sides have really disappointed me with their rhetoric and lack of any actual ideas. We've had better conversations and actual strategies discussed in this thread than I've heard from any of our elected officials.
If you'll notice in my earlier post I called Beto's outburst out as just that.....political theatre. I have zero issues calling out politicians when deserved. I do have issue with calling them out just because you don't like them.

The timing and place of Beto's interruption may not have been the best, but to say that he offered no solutions is incorrect. I posted the clip below already, so I will post it again. Four solutions in 15 seconds. You just don't agree with his solutions. It's hilarious by the way that Lyin' Ted called Beto out for politicizing that press conference when he was there just to stand behind Greg Abbott and be on camera.
This whole thing is rinse and repeat. Dems will call for gun control. Republicans will scream that the Dems are trying to politicize a tragedy to shift the focus away from them. It is not surprising at all that this is your focus now.
In the end, the pubs will run back their master the NRA. Abbott was going to speak at an NRA fundraiser tonight to brag about how few gun restrictions his state has. He had to cancel attending in person but will deliver prerecorded remarks.
In the end, we all know what the republicans will do. NOTHING. And on to the next massacre. At least we are approaching summer, so we hopefully won't see more kids being gunned down until the fall.
So ****ing sad.
Link isn't working. Trump, to his credit, did enact a ban on bump stocks after the GOP controlled House and Senate could not even bring a bipartisan bill banning bump stocks to a vote. This was in reaction to the 2017 massacre in Vegas. The first impeachment was in December of 2019
While I disagree with @TigerGrowls on most things, seeing who ridicules him for his choice about pot says a lot. Quite pathetic. Of the 10 dumbest people I've met in my life every one of them loved the weed. I've never seen any of them be aggressive but stupid...yeah all the time. And now I understand more why some of the people on this board post the way they do.

What assumption is that? You would definitely not be one of the people I make that assumption about. I don't agree with a lot of stuff you post but you're a smart guy with very informed opinions.

Would you agree amongst many of his uninformed options, his opinion that marijuana use is leading to violence at least ignorant, and at worst just stupid?
I'm not close to a daily user, but have used recreationally, and use delta 8 and Delta9 for sleep and relaxation and I have never been close to violent. I'm way to sleepy and relaxed to want to hurt someone.
The last time I tried one I was at an outdoor event and realized that when I was talking to someone, I'd forget what I was saying halfway through my sentence LOL. Had to take my @ss back to the Airbnb and sleep it off. Far from wanting to commit violence, I just wanted to crawl in a hole 😅
I played basketball with Jay Bias growing up. He was the little brother of Len Bias. We were around Len a number of times and he was someone I really looked up to. He was an incredible player. When he died because of his overdose, that was it for me. I never considered doing drugs of any kind ever. Rightly or wrongly (yes, I know wrongly) I lumped them all together and wouldn't ever consider trying anything. I didn't even want to be around it. So my knowledge beyond reading and some experience isn't too extensive. But I can say that the dumbest people I've ever met were people who smoked a lot of weed. I can also say I've never seen someone be violent because of pot. I've seen and had to deal with a lot of violent drunks.
I didn't take issue with rebutting the claims of @TigerGrowls. It was more the ridicule of him that he hasn't done it himself and that explains a lot, etc. That's just flat ignorant and stupid.
