Alcohol escalates violence—weed fuels a different kind. Alex Berenson: ‘In autopsies, you see cannabis over and over, rarely alcohol. These are crimes against innocents. If cannabis is rescheduled, expect more crime like this. Public safety is at stake.’

@AlexBerenson Alcohol: starts bar fights. Weed: starts DoorDash orders. But sure, let’s listen to Botox Barbie & Sweaty McWithdrawal tell us about ‘public safety’ 🤡

That narrative is manipulative propaganda, plain and simple. Here’s why it’s bullshit — broken down raw and direct: ⸻ 🚨 1. Cherry-Picked For Fear They’re conflating correlation with causation. Just because someone had THC in their system doesn’t mean weed caused the crime. THC stays in the body weeks after use. It’s not like alcohol, which metabolizes quickly. So their logic is: “This person once smoked weed → they committed a crime → weed causes crime.” That’s garbage science. ⸻ 🧪 2. Selective Autopsy Data Berenson is twisting limited forensic findings. Alcohol often leaves no trace post-mortem due to fast metabolization. THC does linger, so guess what shows up more? This isn’t proof of anything — it’s toxicological sleight of hand. ⸻ 🔥 3. Buried Stats: Alcohol Wrecks More Lives Let’s hit truth: •Alcohol is directly linked to 40%+ of domestic abuse cases, violent assaults, and homicides. •Weed? Primarily tied to non-violent possession arrests, not aggression. •Alcohol causes 88,000 deaths/year in the U.S. Weed? Zero overdose deaths. Zero. So which one really fuels violence? ⸻ 🎯 4. Agenda: Stop the Rescheduling This is timed propaganda. Cannabis is under active review for federal rescheduling. This kind of messaging is designed to create fear and stall progress. It’s not about safety. It’s about maintaining pharma, prison, and enforcement profit pipelines. ⸻ 🧠 5. “Different Kind of Violence” = Psychological Projection “Different kind”? What — telepathic aggression? Vibing too hard? This is coded language used to stir subconscious fear in viewers, especially older, conservative demos. ⸻ ✅ The Real Reason for This Spin: •Marijuana helps people get off pharmaceuticals, sleep meds, anxiety pills, opiates. •It promotes calm, introspection, healing — not control, fear, and obedience. •And the war on drugs only ever targeted consciousness and community — not actual harm reduction. ⸻ Bottom line: This isn’t journalism. It’s a psychological operation to protect entrenched systems. Don’t fall for it. Call it what it is: weaponized misinformation.

@AlexBerenson

@AlexBerenson Your entire country could use a joint right now.

@AlexBerenson I just turned 69 weeks ago. I've been smoking weed for 53 years. I had a severe neck injury age 18 had bad seizures after, pain. It helps me tolerate 24/7 pain, stop seizures. Haven't had one in 12 years since brain tumor cranio. Stop demonizing weed

@RNcat50 @AlexBerenson Omg, you people are just over the top. All of my life and that's 60 years of it, I have known people that smoke pot and I have never seen anybody die, go crazy or commit crimes because of it. I've seen much more of that from alcohol consumption.

@AlexBerenson Criminals smoking weed does not prove that weed made them criminals. Crazy people smoking weed does not mean the weed them crazy. I'm far more concerned about my safety in crowded bar full of drunks than I am around a bunch of stoners.

@AlexBerenson Most of the drugs being prescribed have black box warnings for suicidal and homicidal ideation. But blame marijuana that most self-medicate with to fight the consequences of taking the prescribed drugs.

@AlexBerenson Is this dude ok?

This might be one of the stupidest takes I've heard. Of fucking course you see cannabis more in autopsies it stays in your system way longer. Alcohol is metabolized within a day or two, weed clings to fat cells and for overweight chronic users it can be detectable for months. If you want to blame any drugs I'd take a long hard look at the poison that big pharma is pumping into us through these nitwit doctors over prescribing to treat symptoms instead of addressing root causes. Eat a dick.

Is legal weed fueling psychosis and mass shootings in America?

The Dark Truth: Marijuana, Psychosis, and Mass Shootings

@AlexBerenson Give me a break! Every time you get on your weed soapbox, I change the channel. Quit harping on something you know nothing about @IngrahamAngle

Why is it when States legalize cannabis, crime rates take a nose dive? The Alcohol Industry stands to lose $Billions of dollars if Cannabis is legalized Federally, so of course they send out their paid hand puppets like this jerk off. I used to be a bouncer for a country & western bar back in the 80’s, & I would have given anything if those customers were just smoking weed instead of pounding booze. I learned to hate drunks after that job, everyone turns into an asshole when they drink, & then comes the violence. Weed by itself, does the opposite, people become content with eating popcorn & watching Star Trek & falling asleep.

@AlexBerenson This guy is on way worse drugs by the look of it. Jesus Alex get yourself together lol

Laura, I am well over 60 years old. Partied big time in high school. I have NEVER met ONE PERSON who got violent over marijuana. NEVER!!! That doesn't mean it isn't possible but USUALLY it is combined with harder drugs to cause these problems. 100 says he was on ritalin or something like it.

@AlexBerenson

Come on guys, this is just lunacy. Approximately 178,000 people die annually from alcohol-related causes in the United States, based on CDC data from 2020–2021. This includes deaths from chronic conditions like liver disease and cancer, as well as acute causes such as motor vehicle crashes and alcohol poisoning.

@AlexBerenson When 95% of weed smokers get calm and 95% of alcohol users get violent, and you bring a guest on who worries about the 5%? Whoops, your narrative is showing!

@AlexBerenson @AlexBerenson is such a loon. Check out the debate with Dave Smith. I can't believe I bought this freak's books.

@seanmdav @AlexBerenson I couldn’t be more conservative until it comes to cannabis. I have lupus and have chronic pain and this what I use instead of pain medication.

@AlexBerenson Love you girl but this is a hilarious stretch of the facts. 🫶🤣

@AlexBerenson This is retarded

@AlexBerenson Republicans really need to stop taking the L on this issue. You gloat about 80-20 issues that we are winning than spike the ball at the 1 yard line?

@AlexBerenson

@AlexBerenson This is the highest level of doofus I’ve seen from you. And that includes you being named in the lawsuit that lost Fox almost a billion dollars for pushing election fraud conspiracies. Please shut the fuck up 🙄

@AlexBerenson Hmm idk sounds like big pharma needs a scapegoat

@AlexBerenson Doesn’t matter. Free people get to decide what they put in their bodies. Crimes without victims are not crimes. Trying to legislate morality is where government goes astray.

They’ll never mention the 10 prescriptions in the shooter’s systemc SSRIs, benzos, antipsychotics, because that points the finger at their corporate sponsors. Instead, they cherry-pick weed, the one plant Big Pharma can’t fully control, and use it as a scarecrow. Nobody’s robbing liquor stores high on cannabis. Nobody’s beating their wife after ripping a bong. But millions of violent crimes are tied to alcohol, and tens of thousands of mass-shooting suspects were on pharma cocktails. But you won’t hear that on Fox or CNN, because Pfizer doesn’t pay ad money for cannabis dispensaries. It’s not the plant. It’s the pills. It’s the bottle. It’s the system. Welcome to the Truth Train. No brakes. No masks. No mercy. 🔁 Retweet if you’re sick of Pharma being untouchable. 💬 Comment if you’ve seen firsthand how prescriptions wreck lives. 📎 Bookmark for the next time they try to blame nature instead of the labs.

@AlexBerenson Is it the plant or the pharmaceuticals that are causing people to go crazy? 🤔

@AlexBerenson More lies from the paid propagandists

@AlexBerenson This is the same crowd that once warned us jazz would destroy civilization. Beware the syncopation menace!

@AlexBerenson This is a completely insane take but I guess it’s what we could expect from a cable news outlet that relies on Big Pharma advertising bucks.

@AlexBerenson Seems legit.

@AlexBerenson @AlexBerenson sounds like a complete moron. Is he saying marijuana fuels more violent crimes and murders than alcohol?
