    Man A LOT of people, both black AND white, could better their plight in life if they lived by that code. That shouldn't be your final thoughts, you need to speak more about it.

    Maybe not for you. Again, drugs don't effect everyone the same. Not every drunk is happy or angry or stupid or whatever.

    "sometimes when marijuana is used it can cause fear, anxiety, panic or paranoia, which can result in an aggressive outburst. For most people, once the effects of the drug wear off, their behavior gradually improves. Some studies have found support for an association between marijuana use and various types of violence, including relationship or interpersonal violence (Moore TM & Stuart GL, 2005) - Violence in anyone, including marijuana users, often has a multicausal explanation, with numerous factors impacting behavior, such as increased life stress, aggressive personality traits, multidrug use, or a history of violent behavior (Macdonald S, et al., 2008 )Additionally, when people are withdrawing from marijuana they can become irritable, which can lead to abusive or aggressive behavior among people with a history of aggression (Smith PH et al., 2013 -)...

    Using marijuana can produce strange behavior and reactions in people when they are intoxicated. These reactions can be similar to psychosis and paranoia and because of this, marijuana users may experience confusion or a sense of feeling threatened or frightened. When people stop using marijuana they may experience a variety of withdrawal symptoms including: sleep disturbance irritability or restlessness loss of appetite anxiety sweating. Experiencing any of these symptoms can make a person angry, which is an emotional response to feeling threatened or frustrated. Anger ranges from mild irritation to violent rage. Some people can express their anger in a controlled and constructive way while others lash out in an aggressive, uncontrolled way, either immediately or letting their feelings build up. This can lead to intimidating, violent or bullying behavior, endangering them, other people and property. -"

    Any of that look familiar based on what happened in Ferguson?

    Lasalle you can experience withdrawal symptoms when coming down even if you use prescription materials (smoke, chewies etc). A girlfriend who lives in Ca has a prescription and it happens my friend it happens.

    cops have a tough job and we would due in deep shit without them. But the job attracts power-trippers and police forces never have done a god job of getting rid of their bad apples. They shoot black people, they shoot white people, they shoot friggin' chihuahuas.

    In all fairness, the young man was a legal adult, 6-4 and 250 pounds.

    Well no shit you can get withdrawals fro prescription meds, opiates are legal heroin. I can smoke and quit for months, then come back, quit again and there are no withdrawals. Sure I love it, but don't try and bundle it in with alcohol, tobacco, heroin, meth, cocaine, and opiates.

    LaSalle you are using personal experience to justify a blanket opinion. There are some people who can quit smoking or drinking without issue and others who can take heroin with the same result as you. All of these substances can cause addiction or dependency as well...so can marijuana. Just because you can stop without effect doesn't mean others can.
