As for talk of pot causing violence, no, it is the opposite. I smoked pot for ten years. Yes, started at age 19 and smoked till age 29 or so.
And in that time, I got a 4 year college degree, lettered 3 years in soccer, worked construction full time in summer to pay for school, and spent three years after graduation working construction full time.
I would smoke a joint some times at the end of the day, maybe three times a week. Pot never made me violent, nor did it make my buddies violent. Made me want to lay around and listen to music and eat ice cream. Also, some girls I knew liked to smoke pot, it made for some fun in the bedroom I can assure you of that.
What's that? A sample of 3?
Buddy, you have not met my college roommates. I almost had to slam one's head against a doorknob after he attacked me. Out of the 5 of us, I'm the only one that graduated. 3 of them ended up doing jail time, one for attempted murder (the one that didn't drink).
