LoL. Cannabis made him kill. Why we hear of thousands of such murders, huh? we don't? Would you believe hundreds? Uh, scores? many? some? almost none? oh, ok.

Food and Drug Administration has granted tentative approval for the company's abbreviated new drug application for Fluoxetine capsules. The drug, which is used to treat premenstrual dysphoric disorder, is the generic version of Eli Lilly and Co.'s Sarafem,

This is going to save some unsuspecting husband's life.

The mania symptoms of manic depression include increased energy, extreme irritability, spending sprees, and increased sex drive.

Gee - it's sounding better all the time!

'Cannabis-induced delusions'...

The misguided belief that you can eat an entire bag of Fritos in ten minutes, and not get become ill.

"I always figured they were just too zoned to eat!"

I never was. Certain foods acquired an almost "mystical" allure, lol.

I'd have to ask what else was being smoked with that pipe before he decided smoke pot with it. That or the pot was laced with something. PCP, perhaps?

[TexasRepublic]

Killer shi'ite fer sure.

[stopsign]

That is one talented cat! And add me to the many others, this is BS to the max!... : ) <<< me

[007girl]

I taught her well....I mean, thanks!!! (*_*) I do agree that it's BS!

Reminds me of an old commercial. I high kids beats his mother to death with a skillet. the scene ends with the mother's shoes sticking out from behind the island in the middle of the kitchen, and the kid looking strangely into the camera with the skillet hanging down beside him...

Gonna be interesting to see if the jury buys the "It's the pot's fault" line...

I figure they will try to tie his military service into the story at some time in the future.

[sit-rep]

They already did in the very first word of the title!! "Soldier killed friend's dad..."

[Know your rights]

We had ONE case of a guy going psycho after doing a joint when I was a cop--but the joint was laced with angel dust.

Another good argument for legalization with regulation: you'll always know what you're consuming.

Scientists say it is a common factor in sparking schizophrenia.

It's correlative, but not causative. Marijuana has never been shown to cause schizophrenia.

He had not used cannabis for years - but on that night, after smoking only two pipes of the drug, he suddenly went wild.

Sounds more like he had a mental breakdown caused by paranoid schizophrenia, but it's hard to tell without reading more about his case.

Libertarian pothead alert. Next we'll see hemp promoted.

With bipartisan support, on Aug 21st the California legislature passed The California Industrial Hemp Farming Act. It will now be legal for California farmers to grow hemp.

LOL. I should have written, more clearly, that the hashish caused a usually calm young mother (whom I knew) to become paranoid.
