Marijuana use connected to aggression

I've read comments here that pot makes one more laid back, mellow and less prone to aggression and violent behavior... studies say otherwise...

I found this thread yesterday and added it to an earlier discussion here - http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,73192.msg870880.html#msg870880

But regardless - This DU thread has a good beat and is easy to dance to - I give it a very enthusiastic two thumbs up !

Wow!  I just rowed over there and . . . well, let's just say that the bonfire was the equivalent of looking for a high-pressure natural gas leak with a lit match.  :fuelfire:  125 responses so far!

I'm stunned by their denial of the effects of DU's "drug of choice" -

In short - out of every 100 people who toke, 25 of them 'freak out' - There is nothing new or changed about that statistic. But apparently, its all lies by people with an agenda.

Here is a forum full of DU-types. This post is from 2011. Read it and weep DUmmies.

It's the brain's natural response to the host trying to kill it with dope and hashish.

As much as they try to defend their use of pot they conveniently forget that it is a drug and drugs affect people differently.  What the DUmmies are doing is broadbrushing positively.

I grew up knowing no one who hadn't tried smoking.  There were some incidents of violence after use and at least one suicide attempt.  For the most part people didn't tend to do much after smoking, but when they did do something it was entirely idiotic.  When they were faced with no money for their munchies or for more pot they could bestir themselves long enough to thieve. 

The DUmmies omit that what pot does do to almost everyone who smokes it regularly is to eliminate initiative.  And, it doesn't entirely change the personality even then.  If someone has thuggish, dangerous, aggressive tendencies the pot isn't going to make them an instant tree hugger.
