Come on now ...

You state blatantly in that post that "recent cessation of prescription drugs is a factor too." Logic would dictate that likely has a MUCH higher correlation factor that any other variable. Look at it this way -- if you look at all the people who get the flu each year, you'll likely find a high number of them who smoke weed. Most of them probably didn't get the flu shot either (a factor similar to the "cessation of prescription drugs"). Which would you guess is a higher factor in why they got the flu -- because they smoked weed, or because they didn't get the flu shot? Mental health, as you well know, is a major issue in America, and poor handling of it exacerbates the issue. The resultant issues with going off of medication without proper supervision just can't be seen as secondary to weed.

No idea, but if Hitler smoked a lot of weed, maybe he ends up a lot more
Late 80s Hokie • 04/21/23 08:10 AM ET
Stalin and Mao were worse. On a % basis, so was Pol Pot.**
Atlee Hokie • 04/24/23 02:28 AM ET
More likely he develops psychosis and becomes a mass shooter. **
GreenvilleVT • 04/21/23 09:10 AM ET
Any evidence to support this assertion?**
J-Dub • 04/21/23 09:59 AM ET
6 out of the last 10 school shooters. **
GreenvilleVT • 04/21/23 10:20 AM ET
I would bet each has something else in common other than weed.
reestuart • 04/21/23 11:54 AM ET
You are correct.
GreenvilleVT • 04/21/23 12:07 PM ET
Not very compelling evidence there. If you pull 10 random people

If states really loved the tax revenue, it would've been legal decades ago.
NokieHokie • 04/21/23 01:15 PM ET
Well, one problem is the feds never legalized weed.**
RJHokie • 04/23/23 10:14 PM ET
Do the states really love the revenue
Tafkam Hokie • 04/21/23 01:11 PM ET
I think they love the revenue as cigarette sales volumes drop.

Tafkam Hokie • 04/21/23 09:31 AM ET
Your post is unclear to me. Are you saying you always heard it had to do

BG Hokie • 04/21/23 09:02 AM ET
you are calling BS on the fact that I heard years ago the Hitler/420 link?
Vienna_Hokie • 04/21/23 09:15 AM ET
The BS was that you said the new story was only a few years old and you
