Colorado prosecutor: Marijuana-related murders are skyrocketing
American Thinker ^ | June 1, 2016 | Sierra Rayne

According to the latest reports coming out of Colorado, marijuana is a major cause of homicides in the state, and the problem is only getting worse.

"There is increased crime, sometimes violent crime, associated with legalization of marijuana," Brauchler said. "That's not what you'd expect. You'd expect the harder-core drugs." ... "If cash is the only way to acquire marijuana, crime follows cash," Brauchler said ... Brauchler believes the legalization of marijuana is partly to blame for the rise in crime. "It is easier for there to be black market in a legalized system than there was before," he said.

This all wasn't supposed to happen. The pot legalization advocates told us that legalized marijuana would reduce crime and effectively eliminate the black market. Now we have experienced and respected prosecutors saying they are seeing, firsthand, the exact opposite.

Thank you. The new stuff sounds like a culture destroyer, which is probably why the lefties are so big on legalizing. Turn a bunch of people into zombies who can't take care of themselves, so the gummint takes care of them and they are happy to vote that same gummint back in every time. What a plan!

I write like a conservative who uses cannabis

Conservatives don't sit around stoned. That's what Liberals do.

“Conservatives don’t sit around stoned. That’s what Liberals do.”

Ah the fallacies keep on coming. If you bothered to educate yourself on the issue you would know that using cannabis as medicine doesn’t = sitting around stoned.

I haven’t felt “stoned” for months when I use cannabis. Your body builds up a tolerance so that to actually get stoned, you need to use more cannabis. Since I’ve never wanted to be high but just to feel better my dosage of cannabis has & will remain very small. The body builds up a tolerance as it does will many medicines. As a result I never get “stoned” when I take my medicine and I still enjoy all the medicinal benefits. I work 5-7 days a week & never take my medicine till AFTER working. I did the same with pharmaceutical medicines when I used them. You know, like a responsible, productive person does.

So much for your “sitting around stoned all day” nonsense.

Here’s another example of a child given medical cannabis to treat a child with seizures. I hope you will rejoice with me for this child’s happy outcome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM4HJ-4_GNM

I will pray for you today at Mass.

Yeah, Bill Clinton used to smoke pot and not get stoned too. Liberals have that ability.

LOL!!! Straw man much? Citing WJC as an example of anything other than evil tells me you are just trolling now. That’s ok. Here’s a testimony from a long woman how used cannabis to help her while she endured chemotherapy for cancer. Maybe you can find a way to lump her in with B. Clinton as well?

Off to Mass. May the Light of Christ be with you always!

It's not something grammar police can fix. Regular LEOs maybe.

Aw, Ethan. You invoked the name of another progressive marxist. How sweet.

I want to share with you a great informative video on Israel’s medical cannabis program. They actually study the medical benefits of cannabis & have programs for their elderly population involving medical cannabis. Does that make Israel a nation that “sits around & smokes pot all day” as well?

Btw, Ethan. Mass was beautiful this morning. I wish we could have worshiped Christ together this morning. Hope you have a very blessed day.

another progressive marxist

Speaking of which, Francis Galton, famed founder of eugenics and all-round progressive liberal, was a big fan of "medical" (ie recreational) marijuana.

BTW, do you show up at church stoned? That's poor style.

“Speaking of which, Francis Galton, famed founder of eugenics and all-round progressive liberal, was a big fan of “medical” (ie recreational) marijuana.”

Thanks for sharing this, Ethan. Your historical knowledge of progressive marxists & other monsters is impressive indeed.

Israel is a big on medical cannabis too. I guess that makes them proponents of eugenics too, right? You keep posting your favorite fallacies and I will keep posting success stories of medical cannabis. We’ll have a lot of fun, k?

Here’s an article on Israel’s medical marijuana program expanding: “Availability of Medical Cannabis in Israel to Reach an All-time High”
http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-1.727277

And to answer your question about attending Mass after using cannabis. As I clearly shared earlier, I take my medicine in the late afternoon or evening. Not before Mass, save for the rare evening on a Day of Obligation when that’s the only time I can get to Mass. Before using cannabis as medicine starting in February of 2015 I took prescribed, mood altering pharmaceutical medications before attending Mass. You think that was bad form also?

But you don't need me for that do you? You can just sit there huffing drugs and posting druggie stories all week if you like.

“But you don’t need me for that do you? You can just sit there huffing drugs and posting druggie stories all week if you like.”

Pleas, Ethan. Pigeonhole me all you want to because it has no basis in reality. I present you with facts & evidence of children no longer suffering from seizures after taking cannabis oil, people using cannabis to get them through chemotherapy & other ailments & you stay focused on repeating the same tired fallacies over & over again.

Look, Ethan. More evidence cannabis is not just for getting stoned.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-3036667/How-cannabis-help-cancer-patients-Drug-kills-cancer-cells-shrinks-brain-tumours-report-reveals.html

“Cannabis can kill cancer cells and shrink one of the most serious types of brain tumors, new advice reveals.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse in the US has admitted, in its revised publication on marijuana, that the drug offers benefits to some cancer patients.”

Mary, Mother of Mercies, Pray for us.

"...He’d bought...gummi-edibles...It was clearly written that you should eat and digest one, and give it 30-60 minutes...

Well, the kid... probably did four of these total... pulled out a gun and killed himself..."

Left unsaid in all of these stories is the past history of mental illness by the perp, but the pot angle is always played up. Note: pot does not make normal people homicidal or suicidal.

My friend gave me a packet of gummi-edibles, and warned me about their strength.

I ended up eating 6 of them in an hour. They just made me tired. I did not kill anyone. I gardened.

I oppose gummi-edibles, as they are attractive to children. Pot edibles should be made to taste like broccoli!
