Marijuana, Mental Illness and Violence

[JD8]

Name one guy who never used Marijuana and killed someone...OK, name two.

So wait..... you're saying that back in the day all those christian boys were high when they started the Crusades? I also missed the part where they were taking bong hits before hitting the trenches in WWI or the beaches in WWII. Hell the Third Reich musta been awash in da chronic.

I think he was telling a joke.
He does that sometimes.

But wait...

...I could have sworn that the Crusades were a "response" to the Muslim invasion to the north of the Middle East.

Dang, a fellow can't even trust historical records anymore.

I guess we need toss the cats out with our pot and guns ... and all those other things that "cause" mental illness ...

Lol, tossing out the cats goes without sayin' ...

I doubt if anyone has ever said, "Loyal as a cat."

Reading is fundamental. He probably meant murder but I'm just going on what he said. So were these crusade boys, the Third Reich, and "god" knows how many others that have KILLED someone, high? Or even to have reported to have smoked weed previously?

Ignert may have a point that he was joking, but some of the retarded stuff that is said around here concerning weed gives me pause, so I honestly don't know.

I asked a few friends that smoke the stuff why they smoke it.

First one was many years ago and he said he did it because he was frustrated wiith all the broken cars he had and No money to fix them and all the torn up stuff in the house and no money to fix it and it angered him and pot calmed him and he no longer cared his stuff was a mess.

It was a huge mess too.
dishes in the bath tub no carpet on floors kitchen sink and wall torn out dog food inside the house to feed rats he would shoot with BB gun inside of house.
cars jacked up outside and all torn apart with dog crap all around them and just plain messy everywhere.

I found through the years my friends that smoke pot have messier houses and 1/2 painted walls inside the homes like they can't decide which color or they just ran out of want to and got a case of the don't give a shi#.
Yep that is what I have seen.
But I do have a back yard with so much crap you would think I smoked it..I don't smoke anything.

So not all the people all the time i suppose.

A dear friend of mine smoked a lot of pot in his teens and early twenties. His brother was a dealer, and he got all he wanted for free.

By his own admission, his mental faculties are nowhere near they were when we met (he was mid-20s, I was around 30).

We used to rapid-fire zingers about various topics constantly (some of you may have noticed that I more/less have a sense of humor), but now he sometimes takes several seconds just responding to simple questions, and especially when the topic changes. He's in his mid 50s.

Believe it or don't, smoke it or don't. FWIW, weed wasn't nearly so strong back then.

Your call.

Of course there is nothing else that might play into this.
I drink a lot of water. I got sick last year and had to have surgery to remove my rotten colon.
Water will rot your colon.

Anecdotes are fun...

One of my buddies probably smokes 3-4 times a week and so does his wife, they're not much into drinking or anything else. They each own their own business and run them respectively, doing quite well. In fact he's down at USSA or shooting somewhere at least once a week. Which makes me jealous.

One of my clients is a real estate developer that I believe smokes every day, or at the very least pretty frequently. His last deal was for an 8 figure number, has 3 homes, several cars, a plane and he travels the country in what I call the rock star bus. 2 Million + bus with Ostrich skin walls.

On the flip side I could tell you about a number of people just like some of the others relayed, but I can't confirm that alcohol or harder stuff never came to into play.
