Always remember that "drugs are victimless." This story and many others I have personally known gives lie to that. Without drugs this 400 pound man would be either peacefully in jail or possibly never have committed a crime. I have seen with my own eyes PCP cause someone to break handcuffs and try to lash out at nurses and others who were trying to help him. (in an emergency room setting) It took four very big cops to hold him down and he was not a big man (5'8" about 170-180). The libertarians and others who are in favor of legalizing these terrible drugs have no idea the unintended consequences they would reap.

People by their OWN personal CHOICE choose to do drugs. Drugs do not choose people. The blame is SQUARELY on his shoulders. No more excuses.

Just FYI, it's drug warriors like yourself that equate stuff like PCP with marijuana. Chances are if the guy was just smoking weed, the cops would have quietly led him away.

A case like this does not justify over 700,000 arrests annually for marijuana, out of a total of about 1.5 million drug arrests. That's what we libertarians are most digusted with in relation to the INSANE War on Some Drugs.
