Violence, sexual abuse, feminicide. Crimes are the order of the day in a sick society, full of false respectability. Today November 25th, International Day against Violence against Women. Let's see how Cannabis reduces domestic violence in couples.
"In couples who smoke marijuana domestic violence decreases". There is one to confirm it study published in the American journal Psychology of Addictive Behaviors.
The researchers followed couples through the first nine years of marriage, analyzing cases of IPV (Intimate partner violence). Recording acts of physical, sexual, verbal, psychological and economic violence.
The conclusions of the research are clear, “The consumption of marijuana by at least one partner within the couple resulted in a lower IPV rate”. And not only that. "The couples in which both partners consume marijuana – concludes the research – they found even lower levels of IPV“.
In countries where cannabis is legal, the rate of domestic violence drops
The social benefits of legalization go far beyond the economic ones. In fact, in countries where cannabis is legal, cases of serious injuries resulting from domestic violence they drop by 20%.
One confirms it study published in the Harm Reduction Journal. A study carried out by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania who, after analyzing data from 25 US states from 2005 to 2016, reached a conclusion.
"Given that alcohol aggravates violence - the researchers begin - the substitute use of marijuana probably alleviates the severity of the violence"
Although further research is necessary, it is sufficient to compare the data of less violence recorded in couples who use cannabis, compared to the investigations carried out on relationship between alcohol and violence. Numerous analyses, conducted on alcohol drinkers, have highlighted how alcohol consumption is related to a increase in domestic violence.
However, whether men or women, violence is never the solution. It's true, talking about it today is obvious. How to remember the victims of the Holocaust exclusively on January 27, Remembrance Day. The real challenge is in everyday life. We hope that this utopian vision can one day come true.
