Also, if you have the numbers of calls to ambulance, you might see a drop there too. But maybe that's also not enough evidence for you.
- Sacho 9y agoNo, it's not. It's very dangerous to draw correlations like these(i.e. see all the "crime going down"/"crime going up" explanations) because of the huge potential for noise; it's not like we only take one societal decision per year to be able to measure its actual effects.
- saiya-jin 9y agoeven if only reddit stories were true and nothing else, even that's an improvement. this one actually makes sense, if you have any experience with these substances. we can discuss how much the actual impact is, and without a time machine we'll never know for sure, but that is valid about any research anywhere. glad we can agree :)
- senorjazz 9y agoIf people are heavily addicted to heroin, I find it very hard to believe they haven't also been smoking cannabis. 100% of the heroin users I've known have all smoked. All who have tried to come off it numerous times have tried a plethora of ways o deal with withdrawl, cannabis may help to an extent but only to a small extent
