This does not describe someone high on pot. Pot is being used here to cover for something a lot more severe in its effects, possibly PCP.
Perhaps, but there's a reason it's illegal. And should stay that way.
Reefer madness.
Had a college roomate chronic pot smoker.
All he did was sit around, eat Ben & Jerry's ice cream, listen to "Phish" and work on intricate model airplanes.
About as dangerous as an accordian. About as useful, too.
Did you know the feds started a new campaign last spring to tie marijuana and mental illness together?
Have you noticed a lot of articles lately about that very topic?
Just sayin'
What a crock o' crap! Pyschotic people remain psychotic when they smoke dope. Normal people remain normal. The attacker here was psychotic. Dope did not make him psychotic.
Reefer Madness!
"Perhaps, but there's a reason it's illegal."
Yes, it would put the beer brewers out of business.
(It was the beer companies, threatened by pot's proliferation in the late 1800-1920's that started all the anti-pot stuff. "Negros" would smoke the evil weed, and rape the white women, you know. LOL)
And, no, I do not smoke pot. Never have.
Probably won't be legalized any time soon here in the US but that won't stop people from using it.
There was a reason alcohol was illegal too. Should it have stayed that way?
You could probably come up with an anectdote of how Hostess Twinkies create psychotic murderers.
How powerful is today's marijuana compared to 20/30 years ago?

Last year researchers from New Zealand reported that regular cannabis smokers had almost double the normal risk of schizophrenia.
Feel free to disagree, of course. But the claim is that cannabis use may increase risk of acquiring mental illness.
But I think the attack on Voice is really about crime in the UK and not so much about drugs at all.
"I looked up and saw his eyes were huge and wide open. They were what I can only describe as wild and I was honestly terrified and feared for my life. I can still see his face and eyes staring down at me."
It's a documented medical fact.
" Hostess Twinkies create psychotic murderers." :`)
LOL
STEP AWAY FROM MY TWINKIES!
I can hear Mojave and paulsen sprinting to their keyboards right now to post this article to the myriad of websites that they spam with their agitprop. "See, marijuana really is the devil weed! It makes people crazy! Next they'll be having sex with jazz musicians!"
I tried it and quit it after deciding it made me paranoid, thinking people were talking about me when they weren't. Too weird for me.
Besides, I have a weight control problem. :p
Oh HORSE PUCKEY!
Cannabis makes you go psychotic, like water gives you rabies!
Geez what will they come up next!?
