The link between pot and mass shootings may be closer than we think

You'd be hard pressed to find a single American not imbibing in one or more mind altering drugs on a daily basis.

Here I be..

Does a multivitamin count?

Yep. Here’s another one. No drinking, no smoking, no drugs. Never have, and God willing, never will.

lol... Nah. Most people take their daily mind altering drugs as coffee and soda.

I ain’t buying it. People always want something to blame shootings on. With the exception being actually putting the blame on the shooter. A person doesn’t have to be on some drug to kill a bunch of people. Some people are just evil. Period. No other explanation is necessary. There have always been evil people that kill and there always will be. But in a world that has completely turned its back on its creator its easy to see why this one reason isn’t considered.

The oldest known marijuana stash meant for getting stoned was discovered in 2008 at a burial site some 2,700 years old. Talk about letting your buds cure out! Scientists in the Gobi Desert in China found about a pound of dried-out cannabis near the remains of what appeared to be a shaman for the long-extinct Gushi people. And it wasn't just for making rope, either: The seeds in the bowl weren't viable, but they did indicate that the plants were likely grown for high THC content and not for hemp fibers. In short, the herb was more for getting lifted and less for lifting things. The ancient herb is currently on display at the Turpan Museum in China. (It won't get you high, so don't get any Mission Impossible-esque ideas.)

You can misconstrue any data that you want to come up with backing for or against any issue.

Here's one. And I know a lot more that don't drink, smoke, toke, or even drink coffee and sodas.
We non-addictive personalities are mostly quiet about it and know the loudmouth addictive advocate types aren't worth the argument, cause they "know it all."

Who on here exactly is advocating addiction?
