Default Are some marijuana users violent ticking time bombs?

I'm sure some are just as anyone else could be but i don't think for a second the weed would make them become one thats just something thats already there, it's more of a mental disorder.

The link to cannibis and schizophrenia and/or schizophrenic like symptoms is well documented.

So, why are people rushing to blame "the gun" this murderer used instead of the marijuana that likely contributed to his psychotic mindset be it that specific day or as a user over a number of years?

Are Marijuana and Schizophrenia Linked?
If this is true then I should be a very dead man several times over.

All I did was present verifiable, historical facts. Whether you like it or not is a moot point. Eh, I could have been sarcastic in the fact these Swedish guys after almost 200 years are still traumatized over their war....

Your phobia over someone who smokes cannabis is clouding reality.

The only place where pot smokers are ticking time bombs is in FUD articles like the one you showed in your OP.

You seem to have your cognitive abilities clouded...

Lets try this again..

The Swedish military is a conscript force.
It has not been exposed to warfare in the last few decades.
A large group study was done of it's members and the years afterward.
Those who were heavy consumers of cannabis at age 18 were over 600% more likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia over the next 15 years than those did not take it.

Easy enough for you to grasp?

Bwahahahaha... hold on a minute... LOLOLOLOLOL. Okay, I'm done now.

I realize the OP was being facetious, but just in case anyone is confused- no, marijuana doesn't lead to violence, in fact quite the opposite.

Actually studies seem to point that heavy cannabis users at age 18 were over 600% more likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia over the next 15 years than those did not take it.

Sorry.
