Antifa violence doesn’t come only from ideology, it’s the result of brain damage from cannabis. They want to destroy America because they themselves are destroyed and need sensations.
- A study of 300,000 teens and young adults found cannabis use alters the brain
- Addicts may also suffer withdrawal symptoms that could cause anger problems
From the Daily Mail:
People who regularly smoke cannabis are almost three times more likely to commit a violent offence as those who abstain from the drug, new research has found.
Scientists involved in a landmark study of almost 300,000 teenagers and young adults believe that over time, prolonged cannabis use profoundly alters the brain, making the user less able to control their temper.

Isn’t it an amazingly accurate description of what we are witnessing for the last 12 days?
• Psychiatrist Professor Sir Robin Murray, a world-leading expert on the neurological impact of the drug, said the link between cannabis use and violence was a ‘neglected area’.
Commenting on the study’s findings, he said: ‘This is not a surprise for those of us who follow the scientific literature or see patients who heavily use cannabis. However, it may be a surprise to the many who think cannabis is a chill-out, anti-violence drug.”
• Forensic psychiatrist Dr Samrat Sengupta, of Broadmoor Hospital, told the Old Bailey that the student’s heavy cannabis habit had triggered a genetic psychotic illness.
• A team from Montreal University in Canada discovered that 26 out of 30 studies showed a tendency towards higher levels of violence among cannabis users.
When they pooled the results – meaning they were looking at a combined group of 296,815 teens and adults under 30 – they found users were more than twice as likely (2.15 times) to have committed a violent offence as non-users.
Among ‘persistent heavy users’, the risk of violence was 2.81 times higher.
Writing in the American Journal Of Psychiatry, they said: ‘This study suggests that cannabis use appears to be a contributing factor in the perpetration of violence.’
Antisocial behaviours
Citing neurological research, they said cannabis use during adolescence ‘may cause deterioration of neural structures associated with inhibition and sensation-seeking’, adding: ‘Such neural deficits are expected to limit one’s ability to suppress the urge to act out violently and heighten the risk of developing antisocial behaviours in adulthood.’
Rings a bell?

Black Lives Only Matter When A White Man Takes It.
Apparently every black person in a America carries a Guilt-Free Murder card, Good for One Murder of Another Black.
How else do you explain that not a single Leftist politician, protestor, looter, MSM talking head, Obama, Biden, or Pelosi, Schumer & Co mentions the round the clock black-on-black murder carnage that goes on unabated in Chicago and numerous other Leftist-run rat holes.

Just like their complicity with the election year Covid lock down scam medical doctors have been enablers of the proliferation of marijuana use.
Medical doctors have largely failed to publicly speak out through their medical schools and medical societies against idiotic popular movements like medical marijuana. It is astounding that this study was funded or published. Almost all medical doctors like the police would prefer to hide behind a mask than speak out against the scourge of recreational or medical marijuana.

ANTIFA ideology is all about violence! Maybe marijuana enhances it?
It is a FACT that marijuana usage reduces your cognitaitve skills. That has been proven and known for decades.
Study Says Smoking Marijuana Worse for Lungs than Cigarettes
JANUARY 31, 2009 BY PARTNERSHIP NEWS SERVICE STAFF
Smoking a single marijuana joint is equivalent to smoking 2.5 to 5 cigarettes in terms of damage to the lungs, largely due to differences in how pot and cigarette users smoke.
The Guardian (they are also a lefty source) reported that researchers at the Medical Research Institute of New Zealand found that the deep drags taken by marijuana users, along with their penchant for holding smoke in before exhaling, can cause problems like obstructed airways and hyperinflation of the lungs. The lack of filters on marijuana joints also contributes to lung problems, researchers said.
The study involved 339 adult volunteers divided into four groups: marijuana-only smokers, tobacco-only smokers, marijuana and tobacco smokers, and nonsmokers.
All of the smokers reported coughing and wheezing, but only tobacco smokers exhibited signs of emphysema.

Get over pot. Tax it and move on. The police war on pot is partially responsible for this rioting going on.
I,m a disabled vet. I’ve smoked pot for over 40 years for my disability.
I’ve read numerous reports of violent smokers. I have never seen one.
At the same time, on any weekend you can find violent drinkers in almost any population center.
I back the cops. Can’t stand the progressives.
But conservitive lies about pot are as helpfull as progressive lies about Trump.

The first violent addict I ever heard of was a drinker who beat his wife and kids. Many more drinkers were added to that list before I ever heard of pot. Going back to the 60s, the pot users I recall were the least likely to become violent. The drinkers remained at the top of the list for violence. History/my own memory, doesn’t match this “landmark study” at all.
I don’t know anyone who actually recommends pot for kids. They always add the “threat” to kids into every scheme. Teenagers are goofy, and that’s not going to change. Add alcohol or pot or anything else and they are going to be worse.
Legalize personal use and growth and the black market will die. Tax the public market too much and it guarantees the black market.
I never believed the pain relief claims until I grew a specific strain (for nausea) that was also supposed to also be a good pain reliever. It worked great for nausea, as I expected, and to my amazement it completely eliminated the joint pain in my hands in a matter of seconds. I could hardly believe how effective it really was. I never intended to use it for pain and wasn’t looking for that effect.
Big pharma is behind this anti-marijuana campaign.
You can grow tobacco and make beer and wine at home…both are addictive and destructive, and alcohol has always been linked to violence.

For the similar reasons I don’t want prostitution legalized, I regret we are slowly but surely legalizing marijuana. There is a price to be paid for that…
Just because it is available doesn’t mean you should legalize it for tax money. How idiotic. You can easily rationalize anything for money… and later you pay a price. When they don’t have enough money coming in they resort to crime. That is happening in Colorado. When they are unemployable they go on “disability”. That tax windfall goes away and entitlements go up. The cost to society is incalculable.
You can get synthetic THC by prescription from a doctor but people don’t want that. They want the mind altering aspect of straight marijuana. Prescription synthetic marijuana has been available for a long time.

Hmm, I know a lot of conservative pot smokers, not a single one is violent not even a little bit. All of them own their own businesses, have great families, and I’m proud to call them friends. I think studies like this leave a lot to be desired. I know people want to make a connection so there is a solution but this isn’t it. By far alcohol is one of our most dangerous drugs on the market. Alcohol is probably the number one killer in America drunk driving, suicide, murder and a host of medical problems can be linked to alcoholism….They don’t call them “spirits” for nothing, the devils work.

It is a fact marijuana dulls your cognitive ability. Smokers and fellow smokers don’t see it but others who don’t indulge do see if they are paying attention.
Real conservative don’t need the escape of using drugs or being alcoholics.
There are lots of obvious reasons why employers don’t want to hire either of them and often have them take drug tests to screen them out.
If marijuana is a “gateway drug” could be debatable.

Spoken like a true Leftist. You can’t go one round without resorting to personal attacks. What makes you the expert on weed?
There are many young people with emotional and psychological issues and weed exacerbates the problem. Of course that doesn’t concern you because well you’re self-serving Leftist.
We all went to school and know friends who had problems that consuming weed made worse. We don’t need a self-appointed faux-pert to dismiss what we’ve already experienced in our own lives.
If Leftists are so smart why is every city run by them crime-ridden or debt-ridden or both? It’s because like you, they don’t care about people, they just love wielding power. That’s what America learned over the past 3 months. We won’t forget.

Paul McCartney has been smoking marijuana for decades, he doesn’t seem particularly violent, neither did Bob Marley and to say he smoked the herb is an understatement. I think cannabis is legal in India too but I’d figure most of the violence there is islamically induced.

“Alcohol plays a large role in criminal activities and violence. Excessive drinking has the ability to lower inhibitions, impair a person’s judgement and increase the risk of aggressive behaviors. Because of this, alcohol-related violence and crime rates are on the rise throughout the country. ”

They’ve been in lock down mode and some resort to that. Domestic abuse, suicides, mental health issues and divorces are going up also with the stress of it. We have lost more people to suicides than the virus.

Yes, I think we all are aware of the affects of alcohol on one’s behavior. However, this article is about marijuana use and how it affects the brain. Stick to the subject.

Millions of young people were home for over three months, unproductive, consuming god knows what. Suddenly en mass they grow a conscience and demand justice for Black America? This don’t pass the sniff test.
Over the past 2.5 years, 1007 black residents of Chicago were murdered, almost all by other blacks, and many of the victims have yet to rcv justice.
Apparently America’s socially conscious young people were too busy getting high to give a rats a** about any of those murdered blacks or the thousands more killed in the rest of America, most at the hands of other blacks. Not one of them marched, protested or looted. But god help us, a white officer murders a black man and suddenly America’s youth grows a conscience. What a load a BS!!!!
All that this sanctimonious pretentious protesting and looting proves is how many awful parents there are in America. This behavior has nothing to do with values, morality or justice, its the product of the narcissistic social media generation. The complete absence of references to MLK out of the mouths of the protestors or on their rubber-stamped faux-outrage signage is a tip off that this behavior is the product of Leftist indoctrination, not genuine concern for the welfare of others.
The Left has quietly eradicated MLK from their propaganda because he abhorred revolution, vengeance and scapegoating but yet those are the core values of the Left. They’ve successfully demonized the police and turned them into the new “Goldstein”.
The Left’s day of reckoning is coming on Nov 3.

Cannabis culture doesn’t cause violence; it causes laziness and a desire to eat Cheetos. Don’t do drugs but more importantly: don’t ever think doing drugs is beneficial to any form of resistance. Even cocaine only makes you seem to feel as though you might be potentially bulletproof. It’s an illusion. Like fake news, only intoxicating.

This report is completely false, as the UN’s extensive marijuana studies over the past several decades have proved. Check out the UN’s “Jamaica Study” for the facts. Marijuana has *NO* “withdrawal symptoms”, tends to cause feelings of euphoria and friendliness, does not cause the brain to “deteriorate” and in fact has beneficial medical properties. I can’t believe that some covert Fascist linked to the Geller report actually came up with this long-disproven swill.

I’m calling BS on this study. Have smoked for decades, and have known a lot of people that have also smoked for decades, and can tell you for a face that none of them are or ever have been violent by nature, high or sober, they hold jobs, are not homeless, and are decent folks. The whole ‘addict’ and ‘withdrawl’ thing is a myth as well, nothing to it, you don’t get addicted to pot, no one does, though there are a few people that have what is called ‘addictive personality disorders’ that might have some issues. Aside from that, I have never known one person, EVER that went without weed that suffered any withdrawl whatsoever, myself included. Whole idea is pure BS…..
