I disagree


The first link is a blog but you can click on a link in the first sentence to a brief scientific format with summaries that most people can't understand. This is a sports board so I don't want to get too technical. The blog accurately summarizes the findings in a way laypeople can understand. The study was over fifty years and it looked at a sample of 411 boys who were born around 1953. Their conclusion was that there was a seven-fold increase of violence found among heavy cannabis users over that fifty year period.

The second article is a case review by two medical doctors and a lawyer so I consider that to be valid. It's on a website that appeared to be affiliated with the NIH so it's not pulled from some website full of conspiracy theories. I noticed table 4 with all the mass murderers and the conditions associated with their heavy use of marijuana. Please enlighten on the scientific methods that are more reliable than case studies.

You totally misread the third article. Remember to read more than the first paragraph and never doubt the Daily Mail. The article refers to a team of medical professionals who reviewed thirty case studies and found that 26 of the 30 studies showed increased violence among marijuana users. These 30 cases included 300K young people so the case combined made up a large sample size. They found that users of pot were twice as likely to commit violent acts while heavy users were found to commit almost three times as many acts of violence.

I agree that causation does not equal correlation when talking about a FEW people but these studies of hundreds and thousands of people show a convincing link between marijuana and violence. The fifty-year study had over 400 people and the case review looked at 300K people.

I don't have any obligation to post articles promoting marijuana use when I am trying to prove a linkage between marijuana and violence/psychosis. I've never used PUBMED but I think my sources are fine. I am trying to find sources that are accessible to most sports fans and I'm not sure if PUBMED provides articles that laypeople can understand.
