DENVER (MainStreet) — It's something Colorado's legalized marijuana industry did not want to see: a college student tried a cannabis edible product and inexplicably jumped to his death. ...
"There is a groundswell building to repeal it," he said. "It's going to continue to lose support because there are going to be more harms coming from it, large and small." ...
"Increasingly, we are contacted by parents, desperate to learn more," he writes on his blog. "Their typical and tragic messages go something like this: "We never knew. We thought marijuana wasn't even addictive and that it was less harmful than alcohol. Why did nobody tell us?"
...
Anecdotally, there've been a handful of exceptionally violent crimes in the news committed by known marijuana users having what appear to be psychotic episodes. For instance, Rudy Eugene, who made the news for chewing off a man's face, was found to have only marijuana in his system, according to the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner.

Doge says “Wow... Much Dumb... why you think it called DOPE?”
Mr. Hand said it best: http://youtu.be/s2xauk4l_Hg
Ah!
Ray “My Favorite Martian” Walston in his other well-known role as Mr. Hand in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”.
With that other well-loved character Jeff Spicoli...
Were the early 80s really like that?
In some places, yes.
I very clearly remember some kids from my neck of the woods - “heads” we called them - that were just as stupid and thought it was the coolest thing in the world to walk around stoned.
A few graduated to heavier stuff, and died before they were 25. Nice way to go out... letting your parents find you laying half off the bed, with a rubber hose tied around your arm, a needle hanging out of your arm, and the only thing showing is the whites of your eyes. Great job, you know...
Cheech and Chong, and all those doper movies did a lot more harm than people realize, making it look “cool” to impressionable kids.
Sad. Glad I never went that route.
Wow. I have no doubt that pot is the gateway drug.
I watched ~10 minutes of one of those retarded Cheech/Chong movies once; I was high and I didn’t even take anything.
One cousin did try pot laced with PCP; he wasn’t told and he was in REALLY bad shape for a couple days.
Thank God for Ronald Reagan.
I was just kidding you. :-)
Oh, OK.
Ahh ahh ahhh ah! ... Dude.
My last thoughts on this:
In the 60s and 70s, the government warned kids that drugs like pot would make them psychotic. But a decade later, no one raised an eyebrow when we started drugging boys en masse in schools (Ritalin, etc.).
Couldn’t anyone figure out that if pot could mess brains up (and it can royally screw up teenagers’ brains) that powerful pharmaceuticals could/would do even worse?
Come on man, lets get high ...we can use Rand Paul's stash. Don't get high on your own supply
In my experience, it started out fun, felt great, hard to describe the change in mental perception it induced. On the one hand holding a train of thought was a challenge because everything was interesting and amusing, but on the other hand, extremely detailed projects were enjoyable to to point of getting almost lost in them. The experience of listening to music was enhanced to the point of almost sheer joy. Food was amazing. So was sex, it was quite the aphrodisiac, aroused for no apparent reason, at least at first.
Over time, these enjoyable experiences gave way to a sort of disengaged, zombie-like feeling that wasn't especially compelling. Coming down off of it was really not enjoyable, it was almost akin to being mentally depressed for a few hours. Feelings of paranoia began to arise, jumpy, elevated heart rate.
That was not fun, so I stopped. Very few experiences with it since then and none in the past two decades, I just have no interest in doing it again. Some people appear to develop a dependency upon it for whatever reason, psychological dependency or what I couldn't say. Didn't affect me that way, I just stopped and appear to have had no lasting repercussions.
“Don’t get high on your own supply.”
Frank Lopez!
I have bipolar disorder and pot made me very manic, even paranoid.
Not fun.
