Reefer Madness Continues – Feds SPEND $1.86 Million LOOKING For Domestic Violence LINK To Marijuana [View all]

[Segami]

If 'they' want to find a "domestic violence link" associated with vices, they might try starting with alcohol abuse/additions or pharmaceutical addictions....they will find plenty guaranteed and then some..........



Acting as a minion of the federal government – and upset over the Marijuana Policy Projects ongoing campaign to inform Americans that “marijuana is safer than alcohol” the NIDA (national Institute on drug abuse) have undertaken another futile study which will no doubt blowup in their face. Instead, demonstrating the passive nature of the average marijuana smoker.

“But the national Institute on drug abuse (NIDA) appears oblivious to that fact.” Or they are just paid to ignore it. Late last Thursday, “the University at Buffalo announced that the federal research agency is giving them a $1.86 million grant with the hopes of proving otherwise.”

n a recent University press release it was disclosed that Jennifer Livingston, a senior research scientist for the “Research Institute on Addictions” was awarded just over $1.8 million to perform a five-year Peer Victimization (PV) study.

“This study aims to discover the conditions under which PV contributes to emotional distress and substance use among adolescents, both immediately and over time” noted Livingston. “Were also seeking to identify the circumstances that might curb the long-term effects of PV, particularly as they relate to the development of emotional distress and substance use problems.”

Battling for the scientific ‘high ground,’ this new NIDA study will come on the heels of a recent study out of Spain, which indicated the CB1 cannabinoid receptor actually mitigates aggressive behavior. As the marijuana legalization debate heats up, ridiculous studies like this demonstrate the twisted and dark nature of the federal marijuana prohibitionists, and the desperate measures they are willing to undertake in a sinister attempt of scaring the American public.
