Cannabis makes teens aggressive

[Duke]

Cannabis is a mood enhancer. Like most drugs. So if you are hella agressive and you smoke a joint, you wont necessarily be seeing peace flowers all over the place and the urge to kick heads may still be there.

However, i think it's relatively safe to say that the secondary effects of cannabis (being high as a kite) are enough to take away the will to fight usually.

lol. Whoever wrote the story is anti-marijuana. Im going to smoke a bowl and go on a killing spree!!!!!!1 I have never in my life seen anyone get pissed off after smoking weed. BULLSHIT.

They factored in social background, regular smoking and alcohol abuse.

pwned all the haters that agree with this.

Alcholol will make u get aggressive too if u continue to drink it 24/7. Its like the more u smoke smoking the more addicted u get, and if u get addicted and u dont get the drug or the watever you want, you become aggressive WE saw this in a movie once and our health teacher said that he would never show us anything thats fake n all.....

Alcohol = Crazy partying for me, and no agression.

Weed = A boring buzz and me wanting to sleep

 

[_carmi]

alcohol gets me energetic and sympathic.

weed gets me cool and relaxed and sympathic

 

[Devious]

so in other words, you're just sympathetic lol

 

[_carmi]

^nah not all the time lol i can get pissed off easily too

 

[Devious]

well thats what the weed is for lol, to chill you out

 

[S. Fourteen]

you guys arent thinking thru on this shit.

Hunger makes you aggressive and guess what happens when you smoke weed? You get hungry!

 

[Devious]

i don't know anyone who gets aggressive when they are hungry lol. Your background and social standing play a much bigger role in making people aggressive, i can't believe they didn't factor in those things in the study, then have the balls to say it's a scientific fact. idiots

I'm waiting for the majority of smokers to come in here and defend weed.

It's a drug people it isn't good for you. It does change your personality. Maybe not everyone gets aggressive, but it does create behavioural problems. And I've seen it in people who have smoked for as little as 10 years.

that's not the subject, the subject is that it makes you AGGRESSIVE which is complete bullshit. you take a hit and your ass ain't goin anywhere but that bed/couch/curb/etc let alone whoop some fools ass :thumb:

Yall keep saying things like "when you take a hit........." and I agree that weed makes you passive but what about when you're not getting high? (I've met people that smoke weed to just be normal) I think weed makes you feel a certain way and it intensifies our senses (like music is better when you're high).. so with that in mind, what happens when you're not high? Have you ever been around someone who's trying to quit smoking cigs? (it can be an ugly sight).. I know nicotine and THC are two different things but we should remember that these chemicals have lasting side effects and as the article states, they surveyed youngsters aged 12 to 16... I don't know about you but 12 year olds (or 13,14,15) shouldn't be smoking weed. I think that's a crucial stage in the development of human brain and as much as I love weed, I wouldn't want that shit in my child's system.


Anyway, I'm 24 and I'm getting high tonight.

 

[Devious]

do people get agitated without weed? yes, but still i've yet to come across a person who is aggressive and violent simply because they are out of weed lol

 

[_carmi]

they get agressive because they dont have weed. but once high i'm quite sure they are passive

 

[Devious]

well when i don't have weed, i may be easily irritable, but i've never been aggressive or violent just because i don't have weed

 

[ArtsyGirl]

Devious just because you havent seen it doesnt mean its not there, you very well may be in the minority. I lived with someone who got aggressive without weed, you'd seriously avoid him in those situations.. Luckily we were never really out of weed for long. Also I've seen people who have been smoking get aggressive, lifted someone off the ground by the kneck to be specific.
Whats the point of this survey anyway, if they did this same study for alcohol they'd come up with the same issues yet that is still legal?

 

[Devious]

well i'm not saying peple aren't aggressive when on weed, but i bet those people were aggressive before the weed, so therefore the weed didn't make them aggressive. If you are a passive person before you started smoking weed, you're not likely to turn into an aggressive person because of it. Just like if you are an aggressive person, weed will not turn you into a completely passive person.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

Well it depends on when you are talking about. I think its possible for a passive person to start smoking weed and get aggressive when its not around, ofcouse speaking of a heavy smoker. I dont think this happens with every person but I do think it happens.
