Here are some studies you can look at.You're posting what is essentially an emotion driven editorial piece, which reads like a lit review but without any actual sources cited posted, and purporting it as legitimate scientific research and statistics. This is hardly a legitimate scientific piece. If you're going to post something where the author "quotes" all these presumably scientific sources, he needs to at least cite the ****ing sources so that we can actually look at them and examine them critically for bias or inaccuracy. He's quoting other lit reviews and sources but basically never listing the ACTUAL research paper/study names or giving us any way to actually review the sources ourselves. He's also constantly mixing in things that ARENT supported by any research and are basically anecdotal and opinions, but basically playing them off a peer-reviewed research.
If you're going to try to make the point that "cannabis causes mental illness and violence " based on research, at least do it properly.

Cannabis-impaired approximately doubles car crash risk and that around one in 10 regular cannabis users develop dependence. Regular cannabis use in adolescence approximately doubles the risks of early school-leaving and of cognitive impairment and psychoses in adulthood. Regular cannabis use in adolescence is also associated strongly with the use of other illicit drugs. These associations persist after controlling for plausible confounding variables in longitudinal studies.
