Driven to suicide by weed: These families were torn apart when their teen sons got hooked on super-strength marijuana and fell into depression. And experts warn it's becoming a familiar tale across America

Marijuana use has exploded across the US since a wave of legalizations kicked off a decade ago, but some parents believe the super-strength strains of today are driving children to suicide.

Figures show found the number of Americans who have marijuana in their system when they try to kill themselves is growing at an alarming 17 percent per year - and the trend is being fueled by a rise in young people.

make it legal...what could go wrong
 
I have been watching lately testimonials form drug addicted street people on YouTubes and the question that pops to the top of my mind is "How many who are listed as OD's are actually suicides?". From a societal health standpoint suicides are worse than OD's, and we know that our overlords lie to us constantly, they actively work to get us to believe their fictions, they would certainly lie to us about this if they thought that they could get away with it.
 
There is certainly a spectrum between "THey died accidently" and "They wanted to die and took what they hoped would be enough drugs to kill them".

How many suicides are interrupted with Narcan?
 
How much fucking weed are people smoking? I walk around my hood with the hounds and I routinely smell weed, and this subdivision was built 25 years ago so the lots are not microscopic. I smoke everyday but I doubt that my second hand smoke ever reaches the sidewalk....I take a puff now and then.
 
Well, the negative effects of marijuana are only just now beginning to really become accurately documented. Weight for weight, marijuana is about three times as carcinogenous as tobacco. This is in part due to it being smoked unfiltered and closer to the butt of the joint, but it also has to do with it simply having more of the chemicals that cause cancer in it.

Then add that long term use increases your risk of becoming bipolar or schizophrenic, particularly the first, by about 20%.

The Māori of New Zealand are the heaviest users of marijuana on the planet and they don't generally use tobacco. The above has been found true of their ethnic group now for decades.
 
Stronger weed means people smoke less product to get high. So, less carcinogens inhaled.

The Alcohol industry opposes MJ legalization. They don't want people to have a choice.

this is some reefer madness bullshit bro.

weed undoes trauma based mind control, that's why the establishment hates it.

the truth is people drink less when there's weed around also, thus pissing off the big alcohol industrial complex.

0.9% increase is an unpredicted result. Must be time to ban alcohol, again.

"Associations were also greatest within the first year of the law’s implementation, but data show the relationship may diminish over time."

So alcohol use didn't go down it went up.

Yes, a small increase, but a totally unpredicted result by the anti-mj alcohol industry.

I attribute it to the excitement among the young of a "new license to party". Data predicts the alcohol use increase will subside.

Which explains why most Trumpers use Meth. :thup:

Even in rural areas, meth counties voted for Trump by a margin 9 percent greater than elsewhere.

No, but it would be responsible for our elected leaders to inform us of hazards.

Additionally, as the LP platform states, protect the public from those harming others.

I wonder what percentage of them used an easily available/accessible GUN to kill themselves with... :thinking:

But hey, let's continue to figure out slick, doublespeak methods of deflecting blame for suicide and other violence, away from guns and direct it elsewhere.

As usual.
