Seeing Green: Does Marijuana Cause Domestic Violence Or Not?

Does marijuana cause domestic violence or not? Well, let's start with the confusion. Wendy L. Patrick, Ph.D. reported marijuana use is a risk factor for violence. Dr. Jordan Tishler stated that intimate partner violence is decreased by marijuana use. Dr. Ryan C. Shore y and a team of researchers over at the American Psychological Association announced that marijuana use is positively and significantly related with intimate partner violence.

Advertisements, holiday television specials and cards show scenes of children with glowing faces; brightly lit Christmas trees surrounded by wrapped packages; and Christmas carols echo from every radio and store sound system. But for children exposed to domestic violence, the holiday season may be just another reminder that things in their home do not mirror society’s image as a happy holiday season. While statistics may indicate actual domestic violence calls to hotlines and police departments may drop due to continued close proximity of the abuser and his family; experts believe the actual acts of violence may increase. Add to that the 2020 pandemic’s impact on shelters, activities outside the home; and lack of victims’ interaction with those who might offer support or help, and in fact, pile onto this already stressful time for a family facing domestic violence. Experts also tell us that 50% of all ...
