Guys, Do you know ANYTHING about marijuana?


Question:
All forms of cannabis are mind-altering (psychoactive) drugs; they all contain THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol)... the main active chemical in marijuana. They also contain more than 400 other chemicals.
1. Marijuana's effect on the user depends on the strength or potency of the THC it contains. THC potency has increased since the 1970s but has been about the same since the mid-1980s. The strength of the drug is measured by the average amount of THC in test samples confiscated by law enforcement agencies.
Most ordinary marijuana has an average of 3 percent THC.
Marijuana can be harmful in a number of ways, through both immediate effects and damage to health over time.
1. Marijuana hinders the user's short-term memory (memory for recent events), and he or she may have trouble handling complex tasks. With the use of more potent varieties of marijuana, even simple tasks can be difficult.

Answers:
Okay so how many sexual assaults were directly related to marijuana, there isn't a number. But...Alcohol is related to half of all violent crimes (Abbey 1994), and to 37-74 percent of all sexual assaults (Crowell & Burgess 1996) now can anyone say that marijuana is even close to these numbers, no. More than 122,000 dead in 1996 from alcohol related causes and that doesn't include the victims of violent crime that were the result of alcohol as well. The Jury is still out on marijuana, in the largest study, "The effect of marijuana on Costa Rican Men" the memory effects existed, but no where near the levels that you mentioned. And there has still yet to have been an objective study on the ability to regain functionality after smoking marijuana. I would be happy to get into more of this, but i know that no matter what I say i will get two points for any answer i give.
what is your question or to whom would you like to speak with.
