I'm not trying to be cute here (and I'm no expert), perhaps he smoked salvia divinorum or even jimson weed by accident? This is a pretty extreme reaction.

Wow! The judge certainly knocked down the possibility of an insanity defense. I don't often hear of strong words from US judges.
What a horrible thing to have happen.

Not a Joke...the sh#t can produce psychosis.....I generally post this song when there is a pot/psychosis thread:
Uncle Bob's Midnight Blues Lyrics
Artist: Randy Newman
Album: 12 Songs
Goin' down to the corner
Gonna have myself a drink
Goin' down to the corner
Gonna have myself a drink
'Cause that sh*t that we been usin'
Sure confuse my thinking
Gonna send out to the drugstore
Buy myself a goat
Tie him up in my front yard
For all my so-called friends to see
Ain't nobody gonna look in my window and laugh at me
I been up so long
That it looks like down to me
Please don't talk about to me when I'm gone
Baby, are you against me too?
Had a great idea the other night
Come-A-Ti-Yi-Yippie, baby
Look out
When the blue of the night meets the gold of the day
We love you
We love you
We love you

A soldier who killed the father of a life-long friend in a frenzied attack after suffering a psychotic reaction to home grown cannabis has been jailed for 10 years.BS! There was something else involved.

BS. Pot doesn't make anyone violent, it has never made anyone violent, and it never will make anyone violent. Absolute BS.

psychotic reaction to home grown cannabis
___________________________________________________
They might want to look a little further into what he smoked, because it wasn't cannabis. Maybe little Johnny was adding something to the "Home Grown" as it was growing or cut it with something to give it some effect. Most people growning pot end up growing stuff that at best gives the smoker a headache, at worst nothing at all.....so I hear.

This is not a normal reaction to cannabis, nor have I heard of this being even a rare reaction to cannabis.
I have to agree with others that the defense lawyer told the judge what he wanted to hear, and the judge isn't bothering with medical evidence.
There is always a danger with taking any mind altering drug, however with cannabis the danger is mainly hurting yourself or others because of impaired motor skills.
It's not a drug that normally provokes violence, so it would be interesting to hear what evidence was provided to tie cannabis use to his criminal actions.
Unless some solid evidence is provided, blaming this on cannabis doesn't sound credible.
To: aculeus
Clearly, pot should be made illegal.
To: aculeus
The "pot defense" does sound pretty lame. However, this, I agree with:
"Anyone who unlawfully takes a dangerous mind-altering controlled drug and who then finds that his mind is altered in unexpected and undesired ways must take responsibility for his subsequent actions."
