Arizona man says he beheaded wife 'to get the evil out': Police
Toronto Sun ^ | August 3, 2015 | Davis Schwartz, Reuters

Posted on 08/03/2015 8:29:22 PM PDT by rickmichaels

PHOENIX - An Arizona man who admitted to decapitating his wife and her two dogs in a bloody incident last month in Phoenix told authorities he was attempting "to get the evil out" of her, according to court documents released on Monday.

Kenneth Dale Wakefield, 43, also told police that he had smoked marijuana and the designer drug Spice about an hour before the gruesome killings in a Phoenix apartment on the morning of July 25, the documents showed.

Wakefield, a transient with a history of mental illness who also maimed himself in the incident, was booked into a Maricopa County jail Aug. 1 on one count of first-degree murder and two counts of animal cruelty after being released from a local hospital. He is being held on $2 million bond.

The mugshot is actually what Spooge looked like after they pulled him out from under the ATM.

If he had never smoked pot, he'd be as gentle as a lamb!

Or at least not a raving homicidal/suicidal lunatic. Considering the crimes were committed an hour after he lit up, there appears to be a suggestion of cause and effect. Sane before, temporarily insane during the high. Like PCP or bath salts.

JRY 5:13 am October 5th, 2011 I just returned from taking my husband to the Psych ward. He was a heavy “spice” user for about a year. A month ago he stopped using and started having severe anxiety. Then delusions and hallucinations and Mania set in. He is in for a long road to recovery. He thought using the “legal” stuff was better than the illegal or alcohol. (He has been a substance abuser since 15). This is horrible stuff! Stay away from it!

No need for the /s tag, I get it!

Case in point -- the criminal that mercilessly gunned down the Memphis cop was making a 1.7 gram MJ drug deal, er, excuse me, was engaging in a victimless crime in the back seat of the car the officer spotted parked illegally.

It’s a good thing he smoked Marijuana and “spice” before this happened. Because after all, as I’ve heard FR users say before, smoking weed mellows you out, and it has lots of great medicinal properties too! Yes, we’d hate to see what this guy might have done had he not imbibed the hour before. Could’ve been serious.

Congratulations on the stupidest post of 2015.

Hey, I heard a guy on meth had a beer and went on a rampage.

Damn beer makes people crazy, eh?

No, he gouged his eye out with his fingers.

If taxing drugs like marijuana at a rate comparable to taxes on alcohol is what is meant by “taxing the hell out of them,” then you would generate a lot of tax revenue and you wouldn’t have much of a black market. Cigarettes are taxed a bit too much, which is why a black market is developing in cigarettes. Then you could shift law enforcement to violent offenders and preventing the sale of drugs to minors. Also, prison spaces could be opened up so we can lock the criminally insane away forever.

The following is from the National Institute of Drugs. Spice, or synthetic marijuana, consists of dried plant material. It looks like potpourri. Although the five chemical compounds most frequently contained in Spice are illegal (like marijuana), apparently the product is sold in many head shops. In any case, here is what the NID says:

“Spice users report experiences similar to those produced by marijuana—elevated mood, relaxation, and altered perception—and in some cases the effects are even stronger than those of marijuana. Some users report psychotic effects like extreme anxiety, paranoia, and hallucinations.”

Bingo. I think that’s it. Just like people react differently to alcohol, so too do they react differently to Spice. Most people mellow out. Some people have psychotic reactions.
