"Just about 0%?" Love how you are now pulling statistics out of the air. People use drugs to cope with things for a reason. Drugs can dull things and make things less painful. Good Lord. Drugs 101.https://www.thefix.com/content/study-says-pot-smokers-use-cope-negative-emotionshttp://www.marijuana.com/community/threads/smoking-and-dealing-with-death.282176/

Let's remember how casually this was thrown out. I don't know why you're making such a big deal about this. i'm not judging her at all. I was under the influence of oxy when mom died. Just saying that might help explain it. You are the one who is ridiculous in this case.

In any case, the better discussion is that about racial profiling, not whether or not fiancé was smoking pot. So I'm done arguing this and unless you have any compelling argument other than "that's ridiculous."

Surrender noted.

I thought black people were just worse drivers though?

Huh?

 

White 15.3% 7 or more times

Black 18.3% 7 or more times

 

What's the polls margin for error? 3%? 

 

so i show stats that prove that on average blacks smoke more pot than whites, and you then argue that it's within a made up margin of error  :laugh

 

keep in mind california is a legal marijuna state, and i gave you a break by showing that... but since you want to continue to be a dumbass, here's wisconsin, i wonder if the margin of error can explain 33% to 18%

huh? I didn't say that. I posed a question. You obviously don't know me. Maybe when I throw out a "couldn't it be that?" comment it reads like I am supporting that argument. However if that ws the case, if I believed it or knew that, I would have stated it as fact. Maybe it's just difficult to tell that I'm not being snarky, but sincere, in my question.I try to look at everything from every angle. I would rather believe that blacks are just bad drivers, thenthan cops are just bad people. Like I would like to believe that you are just misinterpreting the tone of my posts, then intentionally being snarky to me for no reason.

Uh, no Mike. you made this statement:

 

 

the charts are skewed

 

a white guy that smokes pot once at a party counts the same as a black person that smoked it 365 days a year

 

yes the white 20 year old is as likely to use marijuana in a year, but on average he will smoke a lot less and possess it a lot less often

 
and 3% isn't "a lot less often." Your statement was wrong. They are nearly equal in usage. 
 
Are you also arguing that polls like this don't have margins for error?  :doh
 
I was giving you the benefit of the doubt saying it was 3%. 
 
What is wrong with bigots and their inability to admit they were wrong?
 
Now you've resorted to using Wisconsin high school kids as a barometer with a poll that shows a margin of error of 10%.  :doh

read this slowly so you can understand it

 

in states where marijuana is legal/readily available like california, blacks probably don't smoke marijuana a lot more often

 

but nationwide blacks smoke marijuana a lot more often than whites

 

if that makes me a bigot, so be it

this just isn't true.

67% of population is white, 76% of marijuana users are white.

 

That based on the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.

 

What makes you a bigot is your consistent derogatory comments toward people of color and your made up facts to discredit them.

we can all find charts, here's a 2013 one for wisconsin.  guess this shows that blacks are equally as likely to smoke marijuana in timely-land... even though it's 29% to 15%

 

Marijuana use by race/ethnicity. Asian Black Hisp White

Ever used marijuana 15% 51% 44% 27%

Tried marijuana prior to age 13 5% 16% 12% 4%

Used marijuana in past 30 days 8% 29% 27% 15%

Yes, I use national charts.. you use a state that is 89% white and 5.7% black.

 

I guess, based on Wisconsin, the country is 5.7% black. 

 

Also, LOL at 27% of whites have ever tried Marijuana in Wisconsin. Seems like that pole sought out white people who like to lie.

I replayed the video again. Lavish says, "They shot his arm off". Clearly the video shows his arm is still connected to his body.

 

I belive this brings a lack of credibility to all statements from Diamond Lavish Reynolds.

I know I should not have laughed but I spat out my coffee on that one...wp

you're right

 

whites smoke as much pot as blacks, yet blacks are racially targeted which is why they have all those arrests for possession

Ruefully correct.

 

I worked with national drug policy orgs from 1999-2010 and all empirical data demonstrates that use of all illicit drugs is virtually identical between various races in North America with the one exception of "Asian-Americans" - the category most commonly referring to Americans who have immigrated from East and Southeast Asia. (Overall use within this demographic is markedly Less)

 

Virtually identical is clarified to mean within +/- 3%.

 

It should also be noted that all such statistics have an inherent flaw in that they request respondents openly acknowledge criminal behavior, though this flaw is lessened in the past few years by the legalization of marijuana for approximately 40% of the US population

yes use of ALL illicit drugs in total is about the same... but whites abuse more prescription drugs, heroin, meth, and blacks use more crack, purple drank

Here in the Deep South of USA (below the Mason-Dixon line), drug possession arrest rates for people of color are easily 2 to sometimes 3x the rates for proportional populations of whites.

 

Going further, actual conviction rates are at least 3x and sentences of actual imprisonment are close to 5x between people of color and whites.

 

The US War on Drugs is inarguably the most racist public policy since Jim Crow. Fortunately, increased awareness of the true data lends hope that such horrific disparities can be lessened in coming years, though as noted - here in the Deep South none of us are laying any chalk on such progress

In relation to illicit drug use as a whole, crack cocaine use is barely a blip on the national radar with perhaps as many as a couple hundred thousand users. It is simply not in significant demand due primarily to it's incredibly debilitating effects.

 

Illicit drug use in the USA begins and ends with marijuana (approx 85-88% of all such use) and pharms being used without legal prescriptions (10-12%)

 

Both of these two categories demonstrate virtually identical usage rates irrespective of race. Gender appears to be a bit more of a factor with males being more inclined to marijuana and females slightly more inclined to use illegally obtained pharms

and white people use a lot more viagra because our dicks are usually limper and smaller than blacks

 

but yet i will be called a bigot for saying that because we're all exactly the same!   :laugh
