Wow, this is some dark ages shit. Just get it over and pull out the link to Reefer Madness.
Did you know only dirty Mexicans smoke Mary Juana!? Did you know MaryJuana is used by Nigger Jazz players to seduce white virgins!?!?
Are you a distant relative of Hurst or something?
“People who have taken large doses of the drug may experience an acute psychosis, which includes hallucinations, delusions, and a loss of the sense of personal identity,” the National Institutes of Health notes: https://nida.nih.gov/publications/research-reports/marijuana/how-does-marijuana-produce-its-effects
It's more likely a reverse causation, that already otherwise troubled people are more likely to toke a lot lot.
The bottom line is drugs, especially the addictive ones, make piles of money for somebody who doesn't give a shit about your life or the consequences, but will tell you anything they think you will believe to continue using them.

As an escape from reality, possibly. Had a relative who did that after their wife died quite young. Not good as he avoided dealing with the pain, but better than alcohol, or getting on any real drugs(big pharma). Bottom line, if all this kid did was smoke pot, don't care how much, if you don't know why read what the endocannibinoid system in your body is used for, none of this would have happened.
So take this 30's government propaganda elsewhere, unless you also plan to start putting asbestos in your ceiling, buy cocaine and speed from the pharmacy for your house wife, and keeping a bottle of deet on your dinner table.
By the way, Ecstacy was promoted as a healing drug back in the day.
Now we're seeing people who have totally fucked up all their Uptake Receptors just from using it a bit in teenage/college years.

I should look at the Glaucoma and Cystic Fibrosis numbers.
Based on Claims made by Potheads 1990-2010, these should now be entirely cured thanks to the magic healing powers of THC.

So was heroin. The name even means female hero. It was supposed to be a non-addictive form of morphine.
Fast forward to today. Almost everyone I know consumes. Most white collar professionals. They all get their shit done. I'll take 5-20mg a day now. It's also not addictive. Went a week without it recently and didn't even think about it. Forgot I ran out.
Heavy marijuana use among youths is leading to more addiction and antisocial behavior.
I used to think this was bullshit, but there is clearly a non-insignificant number of people for whom marijuana leads down a path to permateen/loser status and even easy suggestibility and irritability that makes them vulnerable to further acts of stupidity and crime.
There's no doubt in my mind there's a sub set - and not insignificant - number of people who fall into loserdom because of pot.
Stuff is ridiculously strong these days, compared the to sticks and seeds of the olden days.
I'm not a big movie guy, but being high and watching a good movie is amazing.
Cannabis and the Violent Crime Surge

Cannabis and the Violent Crime Surge
yes as it does impact the ability to show empathy ...so it creates a zombie thug persona ...
I don't think you get stupid. It's more of a shift in focus based on heightened/new sensory input, and a slowed down pace that allows for more pondering. There are many different ways to live and experience the world, just because it's a different way doesn't mean that person is dumber at the time.
