Guest Comment Mon, Feb 02, 2009, 7:56 pm CST Propaganda and Blanket Statements do not make for a credible article. This is pure BS and someone needs to be beaten for it.

The messenger indeed deserves to die. The researchers should suffer a slower, more painful death, but the messenger should not be spared. Were it not for him this message would never have reached the populace. Brian Krueger said:The messenger indeed deserves to die.

How do you stop bad research from getting grant money if you don't know that it's being funded. I post great science and I post poor science. Both are done to educate the public and make them aware of what is going on in science. You don't like this research? Talk to your government rep. or e-mail the researchers directly asking them why this is so ground breaking. The whole point of the news section on this site is to raise scientific literacy. Unfortunately, not ALL of science is ground breaking and life changing.

Guest Comment Tue, Feb 03, 2009, 10:50 am CST 1: Whoever wrote this has seriously lost touch with reality. 99% of drug users wear clothing of some sort, beware of your children wearing clothes!



2: Unless "Brian Krueger" wrote this himself and drew the same conclusion as the researchers I don't see why he's taking it so personally that others are laughing at this.

Guest Comment Guest Comment Tue, Feb 03, 2009, 3:07 pm CST So basically, we need to lock our children in closets and only expose them to disney movies & the history channel...wait...this history channel might have a program on drugs...to risky...just lock them up



everyone associated with the creation, production & distribution of this study/article needs a swift kick to the nuts followed by a baseball bat to the head...your useless

Guest Comment Tue, Feb 03, 2009, 3:34 pm CST The commenters here seem to be mistaking correlation with causation. That cannabis use is strongly correlated with more nights out with friends DOES NOT MEAN that nights out with friends causes increased cannibus use. As the article mentioned, there are several other variables that were nt accounted for in the study, that are more likely the cause of increase use.



I agree this was a somewhat pointless study. However, the other commenters are stupid :P

Guest Comment Tue, Feb 03, 2009, 4:09 pm CST Why not conclude that teens who use marijuana are more likely to go out with friends?

Guest Comment Tue, Feb 03, 2009, 6:12 pm CST No surprises here. People who go out more have more opportunity to do things. Using cannabis is one of those things. In other news, people who spend more time in bed sleep more. Great job. Why is this in JAMA?
