POT STUDY: NO LINK TO VIOLENCE

A nine-year study supported by NIDA (National Institute on Drug 
Abuse) set out to prove marijuana caused domestic violence (pub med: 
Psycol Addict Behav. 2014 Sep;28(3):734-42, Epub 2014 Aug 18). It 
found the opposite. Marijuana use by either one or both married 
partners reduced domestic violence. The more marijuana used, the less 
domestic violence.

By opposing dispensaries for adult marijuana use, the Albany city 
council is encouraging domestic violence. Restricting marijuana use 
apparently means the city council is standing firm for traditional 
values; have a drink to relax and knock 'em around, show 'em who's boss.
