@no1marauder saidNo Mr. Strawman, my solution was to target the DEALERS not the users.
whodey (quoting article I think): "I believe that drug courts, and more specifically mental health drug courts, should be available in every district in the United States, to serve people who fall into drug use. All people deserve rehabilitation measures that will enable them to move forward with their lives. When court systems help mentally ill people secure treatment an ...[text shortened]... ociety as a whole."
I thought your "solution" to drug use involved mass executions and floggings?
@wolfgang59 saidHe made the comment that there was no correlation with mental illness and drug use. The article corroborated my point that there was.
Your data came from Slate Star Codex which we can agree is reputable.
The false interpretation is by your loony right-wing site.
You people are hysterical. If you can't poo poo the source, you simply refuse to interpret any way that might make you look bad and then proceed to poo poo the messenger.
@whodey saidNo.
He made the comment that there was no correlation with mental illness and drug use. The article corroborated my point that there was.
The article made the same erroneous inferences as you.
The people who actually collected the source data said those
inferences could not be made due to the way the data was collected.
Statistics is not for the feeble-minded.

@shavixmir saidCome on Whodey... explain to us how alcohol and marihuana do it.
It’s written in the first form.
So it is an opinion.
Even that you can’t get right.
Now, let’s try it out: explain to us in your own words why, let’s say marihuana and alcohol, lead to mental illness.

@shavixmir saidSo when you smoke pot, do you ever get paranoid? Some do ya know.
Come on Whodey... explain to us how alcohol and marihuana do it.
Think that is good for your brain do ya?
@wolfgang59 saidCorrelation does not mean proof. I understand that, just like you can't prove smoking causes cancer.
No.
The article made the same erroneous inferences as you.
The people who actually collected the source data said those
inferences could not be made due to the way the data was collected.
Statistics is not for the feeble-minded.
Funny thing though, if you do smoke your chances of lung cancer increase significantly
@whodey saidThe only fault in this is Boris & trump both conservative nutjobs

A new survey of more than 8,000 people has found that those who identify with left-wing political beliefs are more likely to have been diagnosed with a mental illness.
Ann Coulter’s “liberalism is a mental disorder” catchphrase has become s ...[text shortened]... lly diagnosed with depression, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia.”
@shavixmir saidBut some do? Why is that Shav and, more importantly, why don't you give a damn?
And most people don’t get paranoid from marihuana.
So, come on, explain it to us.
Obviously that can't be good for the brain and from what we have seen of you, this is a truth.
Now this study found that smoking weed can increase your chance of psychosis up to 5 times.

@whodey saidThe same amount of people get paranoid from smoking pot as from masturbation.

@shavixmir saidEvidence for that?
The same amount of people get paranoid from smoking pot as from masturbation.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidShav is no different from the flat earther. Those that reject truth do so for a myriad of reasons but my guess is Shav enjoys it too much is the reason.
Evidence for that?

@earl-of-trumps saidThe folks in charge of the NHL (National Hockey League) conducted some tests and, after poring over the results, concluded, irrefutably, that it is actually the right wingers who are the mentally ill ones, which, when you look at it ,with unbiased eyes, really does make sense. 🤔
"Left wingers more likely to be mentally ill"
Let me correct this: Left wingers _are_ mentally ill
