Opinion: Marijuana is more dangerous than many would have you believe, writes AlexBerenson

Academics depict the peer-review process as the gold standard for intellectual honesty, ensuring published scholarly work is unbiased and accurate. But ideological conformity makes peer review a far thinner defense than advertised.

AlexBerenson I absolutely agree. It’s a mind numbing drug plaguing our nation.

AlexBerenson Wall street is more dangerous than anyone is led to believe

AlexBerenson Remember, he's an author and not a researcher. He 🍒 picks data mostly that confirm his biases. He ignores the cons of an epidimiology (correlations) and values it pretty high up on his list of evidence for being anti-weed.

AlexBerenson This is bullshit

AlexBerenson Opinion | Alex Berenson needs a good rape dose.

AlexBerenson Who gives a crap one way or another? It is by far the safest intoxicant and way safer than booze and cigarettes. No drug is 100% safe and even me a chronic fellow since 1976 zapped the crap out of myself with edibles last week. I slept real good.

AlexBerenson NOBODY CARES

AlexBerenson Key word: Opinion.

AlexBerenson Whoa

AlexBerenson This is ridiculous particularly with associating weed with violent crimes. Weed slows the neurons in your brain which would make you more docile than angry (see cocaine). Driving argument should have looked at pop growth and age demographics (younger = riskier drivers).

AlexBerenson Feels better tho

AlexBerenson Keep embracing all of the worst restrictions of the last 30 years and discarding the best ones. For a business based media you seem pretty ignorant of market trends.

AlexBerenson Boooo

AlexBerenson ONE TIME MY COUSIN SMOKED THE MARIJUANAS. HE ATE 4 FIVE GUYS CHEESEBURGERS AND THEN I DIED.

AlexBerenson Someone please inform one term GovEvers

AlexBerenson The only ‘fact’ he was able to convincingly make on the Rogan podcast was one we’ve known for quite a while - if you are at risk for schizophrenia, weed could be a trigger.

AlexBerenson Ratio potential

AlexBerenson Weed is not the same for me anymore, super paranoid and anxious for no reason, tried many different strains and does the same to me, rum and coke makes me more chilled and relaxed.

AlexBerenson Y’all still fighting to keep it criminal for racism right

AlexBerenson Is he high?

AlexBerenson now do it on alcohol

WSJ is a fine newspaper. But the Opinion section is a cesspool of awful ideas

AlexBerenson If this is satire, then it is awesome. If this is serious, then it is still awesome.

AlexBerenson Lmaooooo

AlexBerenson Maybe the science wouldn’t be so poor if it wasn’t schedule 1

SportsTalkBarry AlexBerenson Little known fact: This article was written by SportsTalkBarry ‘s nephew. One of the ones that didn’t OD on marijuana.

SportsTalkBarry AlexBerenson Alex is a class act that I’d let my daughter date

AlexBerenson 100% facts

AlexBerenson Can’t believe the WSJ published this crap. No wonder Bloomberg is better.

AlexBerenson Sounds like something a narc would say

AlexBerenson Maybe but not as dangerous as alcohol.

AlexBerenson What a contrived article. Thankfully I was wise and didn’t get a subscription. WSJ falling apart with their partisan hack takes.

AlexBerenson Angr drunk says what?

AlexBerenson Listen to the joerogan podcast with him on it. He doesn’t have a very compelling argument at all.

AlexBerenson This guy again.

AlexBerenson The only thing that's dubious is your 'opinion' about marijuana. The only thing that makes marijuana dangerous is costume actors with cracker jack badges that arrest (kidnap) peaceful people and throw them in jail for victimless crimes, you moron.

AlexBerenson Hey hey hey smoke weed everyday!!

AlexBerenson No ones ever died of cannabis. If your worried about public health, go lobby against alcohol and tobacco. Your a sheep Alex. Cannabis is changing the world whether you like it or not.

AlexBerenson

AlexBerenson Hello Chaps ! Whatever chap says about (in)validity of peer review, statistics & journalists seems true, he seems like an insider ! But whatever he says about subject lacks two significant points 1. No personal experience (?) of chap 2. Overuse being bad; Sanatan says extremes no

AlexBerenson Sounds like someone from the tobacco and alcohol companies wrote this. For many of us it has given our quality of life back. Can’t say tobacco has done that. It just kills people & ruins their loved ones lives.

AlexBerenson

AlexBerenson These comments miss the point...academics dont even allow a honest counterpoint to be made against a pro-legal argument. par for the course with 'unbiased' academia mob. you get more balance with the Fox News idiots

AlexBerenson Lol weed is the least dangerous substance in the known world, worse case scenario I forget my pizza in the oven and it’s burnt an I eat it anyways. Alchoholic deaths on the other hand weather it be violence or suicide or DUI crash now that’s danger

AlexBerenson Fact: a coroner has never put 'cannabis ingestion' or 'marijuana ingestion' on a death certificate. Ever, in human history.

AlexBerenson Opinion: Automatic weapons are more dangerous than the NRA would have you believe.

AlexBerenson

AlexBerenson Marijuana isn't medicine, people use Marijuana to get high for fun. And then they go to work and pretend people who aren't paranoid are suppose to be paranoid like them. Especially potheads who sit on easy kid jobs for their whole life.

AlexBerenson Ridiculous, should stick to finance

AlexBerenson exactly!! marijuana kills millions of people every year... oh wait

AlexBerenson Lol. What’s your editorial board’s opinion on fracking, invading Iraq, and universal healthcare?

AlexBerenson So? I pitty the fool trying to give me some jibber jabber about the privacy of my own 🏡. Need to take some business classes & learn how to mind your own.

AlexBerenson Yes, just the other night I smoked too much weed & fell asleep. The horror!

AlexBerenson Beware the devil's lettuce!!!!

AlexBerenson But still safer than 50,000 other drugs and substances

AlexBerenson

AlexBerenson Um, sorry, but people don't get violent. Look to studies on alcohol abuse for that.

AlexBerenson But it's still safer than alcohol and tobacco.

AlexBerenson Reefer Madness much?

AlexBerenson Definitely, there's hundreds of thousands of people locked in cages simply for having the stuff! talk about dangerous
