Famous jihadists who were potheads
By Cliff Kincaid

Marijuana may be getting good press from the media, especially from reporters who smoke it, but the Journal of Addiction Research & Therapy has published a ground-breaking analysis of how weed is linked to violence, mental illness, and jihad.

Islamists are evil enough, since they act on the basis of radical religious ideology. But the evidence shows that marijuana, which is spreading across the United States through George Soros-funded initiatives, can help fuel the anti-American Jihad.

Marijuana, the authors of the report say, can spark psychosis and paranoia, and thus contribute to terroristic thoughts and exacerbate aggressive behavior.

In listing several high-profile cases of potheads involved in violence and murder, the authors identify al Qaeda's former leader Osama bin Laden as a consumer of the drug who turned even more paranoid during his final days in Pakistan. Citing a public TV report, the article states, "Osama bin Laden became paranoid and obsessive in the days prior to his death. High-strength marijuana plants were found within bin Laden's compound in Pakistan."

Stoners have tried to insist that the dope was growing wild.

However, bin Laden isn't the only jihadist cited in the report. It stated, "The Tsarnaev brothers killed three and injured 264 others with bombs at the Boston Marathon on April 5, 2013. Friends say they were both heavy marijuana users. The wife of the older brother, Tamerlan, described a change in his attitude as he became violent toward her with his increasing marijuana use."

MJ is also very popular with the two most violent American demographics.
But so what?..........just smoke (or now eat) away to your hearts content.  MJ is harmless say its strongest advocates, and how can they be wrong? They say it has no harmful side effects,  SO THERE!!! They're using strong, anecdotal evidence which is obviously far  superior and more persuasive than scientific studies.
 So who do you want to believe......the   stoners who think a strong drug has no harmful side effects, or the numerous studies of recent years done by reputable scientists and analysts showing otherwise?

I think the Repubs should get fully behind Federal legalization of weed.

With that issue off the table, the Dems will lose 25% of their voters.
