Medical marijuana for anger management?!


Question: One of my good friends from college can't seem to keep out of trouble. He goes out with large groups of people, and always gets in fist fights. I was getting sick of always defending him, so I told him that marijuana calms people down, maybe you should smoke it. He almost hit me when I said that.
This past Saturday night, he pushed down a police officer. He's not getting any serious charges pressed, but he's now asking me more about medical marijuana. Could it really help a violent person?

i used to get really angry easily. but i started smoking a lot of weed in the past few years and now my friends say i've changed to a more peaceful person. in fact, i'm against unecessary violence. i used to be really wired actually. i'm the kind of guy that would rip hood ornaments off and throw rocks at cars, but now the thought of me actually doing that makes me feel really really guilty. so yes, marijuana calms you down A LOT. it completely changed my personality.

no, that is very bad for him for anyone. He needs a counselor

correct me if i'm mistaken, but isn't medical marijuana primarily used to treat physical pain? telling him to smoke marijuana is just encouraging him to do even more illogical, illegal behavior. he needs help, not pot.

If he has anger problems, he needs to learn how to deal with things in an acceptable way. If he gets high every time he is angery, he will eventually end up a drug addict because he will have no other coping skills.

In most cases yes. There are rarities though .

Pot for anger management? I'm all for it!! Lol.

Well yes and no! They don't just hand out medical marajuana to anyone.. In fact I think its kind of rare, but I have known people who are violent to smoke pot and it does calm them down quite a bit! That is not a resolution to the problem it just hides if for a little bit. Then he will get into relying on it and will lead to a drug problem! If he has anger problems his best bet is to see a counselor or a doctor to help resolve these issues without other side affects and consequences..

OR, he might turn into a dangerous, peace-loving hippie, with his electric car, long flowing hair, and organic foods
