I have used cannabis since the early 70s. Not once have I felt it made me impulsive (lazy, yes). Under Results where it says that "there were no significant effects of alcohol consumption on impulsivity or interpersonal hostility" I have to say BS. Total and complete BS.

Alcohol is known to make people aggressive. Pot? Not so much. Pot may make one paranoid (where they are very unlikely to even leave the house), but not aggressive. I have never once seen or heard of someone becoming aggressive because of pot. Alcohol, yes, every single day.

Now that doesn't mean that some people may feel it causes them to be more aggressive but I think they were already aggressive and impulsive. I have nothing to cite, sorry, just my opinion
