"Trayvon Martin’s Marijuana Usage Made Him Violent Against George Zimmerman?"

I always thought it was because he was a feral black kid.

Don’t let Charlie “the Chameleon” Crist, or his butt buddies at Morgan and Morgan catch wind of this.

It was his failed black culture, not weed.

Purple Drank is reported to cause paranoia and it’s a well established fact that paranoid people...particularly guys...can become aggressive.

Either that, or he was high on Purple Drank.

skittles plus watermelon plus cough syrup chronic use equals propensity to play the knock-out game, which sometimes goes wrong. Martin’s liver damage is inescapable, as are his facebook posts looking for codeine cough syrup to make a narcotic cocktail.

I doubt marijuana was much of a factor, and if the local PD are using Martin as an example, well, maybe they need to read Martin’s facebook.

Anyone that thinks legalizing pot for recreational purposes is freeping moron:

http://www.telegram.com/article/20140531/NEWS/305319632/0

DENVER — Five months after Colorado became the first state to allow recreational marijuana sales, the battle over legalization is still raging. Law enforcement officers in Colorado and neighboring states, emergency room doctors and legalization opponents increasingly are highlighting a series of recent problems as cautionary lessons for other states flirting with loosening marijuana laws.

There is the Denver man who, hours after buying a package of marijuana-infused Karma Kandy from one of Colorado's new recreational marijuana shops, began raving about the end of the world and then pulled a handgun from the family safe and killed his wife, the authorities say.

Some hospital officials say they are treating growing numbers of children and adults sickened by potent doses of edible marijuana. Sheriffs in neighboring states complain about stoned drivers streaming out of Colorado and through their towns.

Because of the lag in reporting many health statistics, it may take years to know legal marijuana's effect

Florida Sheriffs Association ... president Grady Judd claim he’s seen cases where marijuana and violence occurred: “I see the guy that’s up all night with a baby that’s screaming, so he smokes him a blunt and a half and he thinks that’ll help and ends up bouncing the baby off the walls. I see the deputy that has to take the gun from the guy who is passed out as a result of having marijuana and other drugs in his or her possession.”

The first one is illogical, because the reason for smoking a "blunt and a half" is BECAUSE weed mellows a person out. So it's NOT going to be the cause of "bouncing a baby off of the walls" like, oh I don't know, METH would.

Secondly, notice he is saying who possesses a gun while passed out on weed is an act of violence. Fairly major logic stretch there.

Sorry, the data is massive - weed does not cause violence or overdose deaths, even in children.

What weed CAN cause, in a minimal (as in not majority) number of instances is anxiety or panic attacks.

In addition, chronic weed smoking of fairly heavy levels in early teens has been shown to disrupt brain development on measurably damaging ways.

So instead of letting cops claim yet another reason to start blowing people away, it would help if the actual, real-world problems with weed were addressed. That way maybe effective laws concerning this PLANT could be created that protected those needing protection, without raping civil rights.

Hey I can dream, can't I?

It wasn’t MJ, it was the THUG CULTURE, he was steeped in,
the constant white oppressor myth drummed into him every
time he heard a rap song.

He got what was coming to him.

Nope. I think his upbringing and consequentially his attitude toward others (especially whites) had everything to do with his confrontation.

It wasn’t the mj that made him go off on George. It was because he was pissed because George prevented him from robbing a home he was casing out.
