Trump again again bans THC…

Ross Dolan said:
Laws against any substance that many people want to use or ingest...just drives up the price of the substance and leads to illegal trafficking. All of which leads to more crime.

If alcohol is legal...banning pot is way beyond stupid.

Agreed. It's protectionism for the alcohol and tobacco lobbies and has nothing to do with moronic claims that pot is worse than either of those.

Compare domestic violence with party affiliation

There is little data directly comparing the incidence of general domestic violence cases with the political party affiliation of those involved. Research instead focuses on how political beliefs influence attitudes toward domestic violence and a person's willingness to endorse politically motivated violence.

Attitudes Toward Domestic Violence
Studies indicate differences in how individuals from different political affiliations perceive and respond to domestic violence:
  • Rejection of Violence: Research has found a greater implicit rejection of intimate partner violence against women among left-wing subjects compared to right-wing subjects.
  • Victim-Blaming: Stronger partisan identity, whether Republican or Democrat, has been linked to increased victim-blaming attitudes, particularly when powerful members of their own party are accused of sexual assault or abuse.
  • Concern Levels: A 2017 survey by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) found a notable gender gap within parties regarding the seriousness of domestic violence as an issue. A majority of Democratic women (57%) considered it a critical concern, compared to 41% of Democratic men. Among Republicans, 42% of women and 33% of men shared this concern.

Support for General Violence
Research has also explored the link between party affiliation and the acceptance of violence more broadly, but the focus has been on politically motivated violence, not general domestic abuse:
  • Acceptance of Political Violence: Several studies indicate that a higher percentage of Republicans, particularly those with a favorable view of President Donald Trump, express support for or find political violence acceptable under certain circumstances (e.g., if an election is perceived as "compromised"), compared to Democrats.
  • Ideology and Risk: Studies looking at general ideology (conservative vs. liberal) have found associations between conservative identification and higher mortality risk, but these do not directly address the prevalence of domestic violence incidents.

Conclusion
Domestic violence is a complex issue influenced by various socioeconomic, cultural, and personal factors, and research suggests it cuts across all demographic lines. While studies show differences in attitudes and perceptions of violence and reporting, there is no reliable data that conclusively demonstrates one major U.S. political party has a higher incidence rate of general domestic violence among its members than another.

compare violent events between people who drink alcohol and people who smoke pot.

Research consistently shows a strong association between
alcohol use and aggressive, violent behavior, whereas the link between marijuana use and violence is less direct, with some studies suggesting it may reduce the likelihood of violence during intoxication.

Alcohol and Violence
Alcohol consumption is widely recognized as a major contributing factor in various violent events.
  • Strong Correlation: Alcohol use is more closely associated with violent crimes, including assault, domestic abuse, and sexual assault, than any other drug.
  • Mechanism: Alcohol impairs judgment, lowers inhibitions, and can lead individuals to misjudge social cues and overreact, thereby facilitating aggressive behavior, particularly following provocation.
  • Statistics: Studies indicate that alcohol is involved in approximately half of all homicides and assaults. In incidents of intimate partner violence, two-thirds of victims report that the perpetrator had been drinking.
  • Domestic and Sexual Assault: Alcohol is highlighted by the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) as the "most commonly used chemical in crimes of sexual assault".

Marijuana and Violence
The relationship between marijuana use and violence is more complex and less consistently demonstrated. Some studies suggest that cannabis may reduce aggressive feelings during intoxication. Research on intimate partner violence found lower rates of violence among couples who used marijuana compared to non-users or alcohol users. While some research found associations between cannabis use and increased psychological aggression, this was often linked to factors like anger or pre-existing psychiatric disorders rather than a direct causal effect of the drug. Cannabis also does not appear to increase risk-taking behavior in the same way alcohol does.
In summary, evidence strongly suggests alcohol is a major risk factor for violent behavior, while marijuana has a much weaker, if any, direct link, and may even be associated with decreased aggression during intoxication.

Ayup. anecdotal evidence bears out the research. I have seen many violent drunks and 0 violent pot heads. Mostly they just wanna sit on the couch. Fighting is too much effort.
 
I wish I could find it, but there is a thread from seven or eight years ago about how Republicans were for small government and freedom, and thus wanted to legalize marijuana, and that the Democrats were the ones fighting to keep it illegal.

Is the abuse of alcohol potentially dangerous to other people? Yes.

Do we need to legalize yet another drug that people have already proven they can't handle? No

In the United States we do not legalize things.

If I eat cornflakes in the morning...I am not doing so because cornflakes have been legalized.

We ban certain things for good reasons. Banning pot because some people cannot handle pot...makes no sense. Some people cannot handle bread or butter. But it makes no sense to ban bread and butter.

We should decriminalize pot...mostly because there is no good reason for doing so.
