Betting that was supposed to read "made legal" but the point is clear, the link is very well known both to the medical world and culturally at large. The question of mass shootings and cannabis is interesting, it doesn't seem as likely that someone, even experiencing serious paranoid schizophrenia would go out into the world shooting (instead of barricading themselves), but then I haven't seen statistics for the use of amphetamines or opioids or alcohol by shooters either.
- SparkyMcUnicorn 3y agoI'm guessing that this statistic wouldn't be very helpful or interesting. Even if the number is 100%, they all drink water and eat food too. A more interesting statistic would be rate of 1st-3rd degree murders committed on different drugs, and/or what percentage of cannabis users commit violent crimes in general.
- blacksmith_tb 3y agoSure, correlation is not causation at all, though notably 99.999% of water drinking food eaters don't commit mass murder. My knee-jerk assumption is that stoners are not as likely to rush around committing violent crimes as drunks or people on meth, but maybe that's over-optimistic.
