Has anyone noticed that several of the latest mass shootings have been tied to excessive marijuana use, including the terrorist attack at the Cascade mall in WA, the Ferguson shootings and the Trayvon Martin shooting.

Two of those it was the victim who was smoking and the Cascade Mall shooter blamed the heavy marijuana use for his bad behavior.

"There were far fewer violent crimes associated with pharmaceutical misuse back when this was an ethical issue in the purview of doctors and pharmacists"

gee, I guess you haven't noticed the epidemic of legally prescribed drug addiction and the subsequent upswing in heroin users because they can't get their hydro/oxys so easy thru their docs...

I guess you haven't read about the heroin overdoses....

yep....the peoples are responsible, except when they're not...

This is the worst of both worlds, where the Feds — and not the doctors — typically have been putting the lids on maintenance medications.

I have to disagree with you. A number of these mass shooters had been prescribed mood altering drugs.

My experiences around stoners is the last thing they want to do is go out and shoot someone. Too much effort.

The lamest argument of all — “guilt by association.” But again you have been neck deep in that since you stuck up for the pigs in Waco, haven’t you.

Repeating a lame argument does not make it any less lame.

Yes, I have a lack of denial. You, on the other hand, have copious amounts of it.

Mr. Soros makes his donations through the Drug Policy Alliance, a nonprofit he funds with roughly $4 million in annual contributions from his Foundation to Promote an Open Society.
