Couldn't be. All the potheads on this forum assure us that MJ is completely harmless.

So, they were the Bonnie and Clyde of the marijuana legalization movement.

I’m sure it was the pot. Pot makes you kill. Kill kill kill!

[demshateGod]

Dang! Every time they get a murder they think will fit their narrative, it falls apart badly.

Eric Rudolph grew and sold pot, and was booted from the army using it.

[ßuddaßudd]

pot make you kill?
only because it wasn’t prescribed,,, yeah

[RandallFlagg]

Isn’t there a section in the 4473 that asks if the purchaser of a firearm is or isn’t a pot user?

[Praxeologue]

Jerad Miller personifies the danger of accepting libertarians in the conservative movement. Marijuana legalization, whether or not publicly articulated, is the prime objective of most libertarians.

[GSWarrior]

Well there ya go!

Post hoc ergo propter hoc. Correlation does not prove causality, especially when the correlation is demonstrated anecdotally.

You may get on your soap box and preach and you may convince yourself and others it is true (you *have* won the policy objective - the War on Drugs is massive), that does not make it demonstrably true, or good public policy. See, for instance, the “facts” of Mom’s Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. They use the same tactic. See their diatribe (”article”) entitled “Concealed Carry Killer.” The logic presented here is even less credible. At least they pretended to use some “scientific” method.

Anecdotes make for great politics, but they often lead to horrendous policy.

That's right, they "just want to sit on their back porch and smoke pot, kill cops, and not bother nobody."

fright-wing radio hosts such as Alex Jones

Alex Jones is right wing?

In what universe?

[Vigilanteman]

I’ve gotten to the point where I honestly think all drugs should be legalized and made available to all registered users at nominal cost. All the users need to do to become registered is turn in their driver’s license and voter registration. Darwin would eventually take care of the problem.

[rawcatslyentist]

Blame violent murders on a drug that makes you sleepy , happy, and hungry?

Trying out for Carneys old job?

A nanny state is a nanny state! Tyranny is tyranny. Either we are a Free Republic, or slave to the state. No one here likes the ACA, why do half of the people here feel righteous in forcing medical choices on us?

[DannyTN]

If they agreed to live the rest of their pitiful life in an asylum, that might work.

I won't hold my breath waiting for a single quotation in support of your claim.

[ConservingFreedom]

I’m sure it was the pot. Pot makes you kill. Kill kill kill!

I learned this from the documentary "Reefer Madness."

Eric Rudolph was also a carpenter. Jesus was a carpenter. Therefore, Jesus was a dangerous domestic terrorist.

Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to plead ignorance on this one, because if I had known that sort of thing was frowned upon...
