En al die mensen die na 't gebruik van cannabis agressief worden en mensen aanvallen, café 's kapotmeppen en degelijke wandaden doen? |
Zoals?
Geef eens een voorbeeld?
Of ga je moeten terugvallen op Reefer Madness?
Nu we toch bezig zijn met wetenschappelijke artikeltjes:

Alcohol:
In conclusion, in terms of direct causal relationships between a drug and increased
likelihood of interpersonal aggression, there is no doubt that alcohol is culpable. Alcohol
seems to lead to violence, to myriad forms of violence, to violence perpetrated by man and by
women, by adults and by adolescents, to sexual and nonsexual violence, and to familial and
nonfamilial violence. That this relationship exists is incontrovertible. What should now
become the focus of research is the development of primary and secondary prevention
programming to reduce the costs of alcohol-related violence.
Cannabis:
Since then, the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (the primary psychoactive component
of cannabis) on aggressive behavior have been studied at length, with the preponderance
of studies focusing on the acute effects of THC intoxication. The results of these studies
suggest that while low doses of THC may slightly increase aggression, moderate and high
doses can suppress or even eliminate aggressive behavior (Myerscough & Taylor, 1986;
Taylor, 1976). For instance, Taylor et al. (1976) found that aggression manifested on a
laboratory measure of aggression by those participants administered a low dose (0.1 mg/kg)
of THC was greater than that manifested by participants in either the medium-dose (0.25 mg/
kg) or high-dose (0.4 mg/kg) conditions. Moderate doses have also been shown to
significantly reduce irritability and verbal hostility in group settings relative to placebo
(Salzman, Van Der Kolk, & Shader, 1976). One study did demonstrate increased aggression
in cannabis-intoxicated individuals on a laboratory measure (Cherek et al., 1993), but this
study should be interpreted with caution due not only to the small sample size (eight
participants), but also to the fact that these participants were ‘‘inner city males with extensive
drug use histories and self-reported ‘antisocial’ behavior patterns.’’
En ook nog:
Thus, it may well be the case that the greatest risk of violence from a user of
THC is within the first week of an acute period of abstinence.

Dat is heel wat anders dan Reefer Madness he?
