Do you have any independent studies that support the allegations being made by these sources?

Sure:

Marijuana and Aggression - Independent Study Journal

Marijuana Withdrawal - Independent Study Journal

Read the conclusion of each study.

Have you ever considered that people using substances that have been increasingly correlated with--and have been shown to yield--major mental instability such as psychosis and schizophrenia are certainly not less aggressive?

Neuropsychopharmacology - Abstract of article: Cannabinoids Influence Lipid-Arachidonic Acid Pathways in Schizophrenia

When you make such statements--"have you ever considered... ... DUH!!!"--it only furthers the idea that you're talking merely from your own perspective, which is not relevant to this debate without support.

How about staying on topic? For the 4th time, have you read any of the debate prior to this? Have you gone back at all to read any of the context of this debate? You need to do so if you expect to be able to contribute anything worthwhile. We've been over this so many times now, you only appear uninformed and somewhat oblivious when you veer off of the topic (which is illegal recreational marijuana), to talk about medical marijuana, when it's been clearly discussed prior to this that medical marijuana is not relevant to this debate.
