Posible Reason for all the School Shootings

I honestly believe I have the answer to the reason we are having so many school shootings as well as other types of violence by today’s young people.  The thing which put this idea in my head was an email I received from a friend.

Here is the entire text of that email: 

 “Most of these shooters in the schools are the offspring of the Baby Boomer generation and as such were the children of extreme users of marijuana, opium, and who knows what all kind of drugs were in their system.  I think it may be possible that has damaged them to the point the shooters don't think right... It might be good for intelligent analysis to be used on those people.  That should be worth looking into.”

Smoking cannabis DOES make people more violent:

Smoking cannabis ALTERS your DNA 'causing mutations that can trigger serious illness, including cancer' 

'With cannabis use increasing globally in recent years, this has a concerning impact for the population.' 

While a person may appear healthy and lead a normal life, the unseen damage to their DNA could also be passed on to their children, and cause illness for several generations to come.

'Even if a mother has never used cannabis in her life, the mutations passed on by a father's sperm can cause serious and fatal illnesses in their children,' Dr Reece said.

'The parents may not realize that they are carrying these mutations, which can lie dormant and may only affect generations down the track, which is the most alarming aspect.'

HERE IS THE 3rd ONE:

Smoking high potency cannabis can damage a crucial part of the brain responsible for communication between the two brain hemispheres, according to a new study by scientists from King’s College London and Sapienza University of Rome.
Researchers have known for some time that long-term cannabis use increases the risk of psychosis, and recent evidence suggests that alterations in brain function and structure may be responsible for this greater vulnerability.  However, this new research, published today in Psychological Medicine, is the first to examine the effect of cannabis potency on brain structure.

Study sheds light on damaging effects of marijuana among college-aged adults

As support for legalized recreational marijuana use increases, some have warned that there is presently very little research indicating the effects of low to moderate use of the drug.  

It has been common knowledge for some time that marijuana use by children high school age and younger caused brain damage, however, the results of a small but sobering study released in April by several Boston-based researchers have shed light on the damaging effects of even casual use of the drug among young adults, according to the Society for Neuroscience.

The study, published in The Journal of Neuroscience, which compared high-resolution MRI brain scans of recreational marijuana users aged 18 to 25 with those of nonusers, found significant abnormalities in the left nucleus accumbens and the left amygdala of marijuana users, even those who smoked just once per week. These regions of the brain are responsible for pleasure and reward, processing memory, emotional reactions, and the assessment of negative consequences.
Previously, the only existing studies on the subject had applied to those who smoked excessively—for example, once per day for approximately three years. This study targets those who smoke only a few times per week.
