todays latest fearmongering regarding the evil weed
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/n...e-risk-suicide
For example, from 2008-2009 to 2018-2019, suicide planning among men who had depression and used marijuana daily increased from 14.9% to 21.9%, and from 10.3% to 17% among men who used marijuana on a nondaily basis. Among women who had depression and used marijuana daily, suicide planning increased 14.5% to 26.8% and increased 12% to 17.5% among those who used it on a nondaily basis. There were smaller but still significant increases among those who used marijuana but did not suffer from depression.
“While we cannot establish that cannabis use caused the increased suicidality we observed in this study, these associations warrant further research, especially given the great burden of suicide on young adults,” said Dr. Nora Volkow, NIDA director and senior author of the study. “As we better understand the relationship between cannabis use, depression, and suicidality, clinicians will be able to provide better guidance and care to patients.”
The study did not find increases in suicide among all groups. For example, among men with depression, there was no significant increase in suicide among those who used marijuana.

the usual crap.“While we cannot establish that cannabis use caused the increased suicidality we observed in this study, these associations warrant further research,
if you are depressed, suicidalor have psychiatric issues -then yes NJ ( or any drug) can aggrevate it.
OTOH - if you aren't- toke up
So there's hope you might suddenly disappear? Sounds good.

What if I eat it? Hopefully that's better.
I don't know how you were diverted / You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted / No one alerted you
This message is hidden because dukkha is on your ignore list.
I don't engage with cowards who hide behind a sock.
Another plus for pot use--population control.

Religion....is the opiate of the people. Karl Marx, 1848
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose. Kris Kristofferson, 1969
Been toking constantly since 1968! No thoughts of suicide either?!!

If we're talking weed I think it needs the obligatory Chris Tucker GIF from Friday.
Daily pot user here...never once thought of committing suicide.
Have known a few alcoholics who did, though...but zero potheads.
When I die, turn me into a brick and use me to cave in the skull of a fascist
