A California woman who stabbed a man she was dating 100 times and killed him, before turning the knife on herself and her dog, has been handed 100 hours of community service.

Bryn Spejcher, 32, was given the astonishingly low sentence following psychiatrists' ruling that the tragedy was '100 percent' caused by cannabis-induced psychosis, which she suffered after taking two hits of the victim's bong.

The judge ruled that Spejcher 'experienced a psychotic break from reality' and 'had no control over her actions' when she killed Chad O'Melia, then 26, on Memorial Day weekend 2018.

She will spend the 100 hours educating others on marijuana-induced psychosis and two years on probation - but has promised to spend the rest of her life debunking the myth that cannabis is harmless.

O'Melia's family cried when the sentence was read out at Ventura Superior Court, with the victim's father warning it gave 'everyone who smokes marijuana in this state a license to kill’.

I killed so many people back when I was stoned daily 71-85

I preferred bludgeoning to stawbing

But that’s just me

Know why Hitler didn’t drink tequila?

It made him mean

[wardaddy]

There are stats on that

I think women get around 20% the conviction sentencing men do

DEI is only for dummies apparently

[wardaddy]

She had a great lawyer
I think we’re missing that

[wardaddy]

Lawyer picked jurors of whom one third said they’d had bad pot experiences

And the girl was trying to kill herself when cops showed up and it was on their video too

Crazy

I believe she was nutty prior

But I also think cannabis toxicity can provoke psychotic events in some prone to it

Especially high dose edibles which linger

Usually though it’s like a long panic attack or breakdown

This was more like “I took a shot of cocaine and shot my old lady down”

Bad bitch that she was

I have had to coach a few people

All women

Down from too many gummies or brownies

All panicky despite my warning them

I also know someone who dabbed too much live resin and never too cannabis again

I was with them and talked them thru it

It is what it is

[null and void]

That it is.

That judge gave her 100 hours of community service. That’s almost THREE weeks of her time taken up. Heartless bastard…. (BTW nominated by Arnold Schwarzenegger too). 🤣😂🙀

[Jeff Chandler]

I know plenty of stoners

Interesting . . .

[mmichaels1970]

So yes, she had a complete psychotic break from the crap that guy gave her thinking that he was going to get lucky when she was drugged, but it didn’t quite turn out the way he had planned did it?

Sure didn't. And guys who feed drugs to girls instead of protecting them are low-life scum.

If we had more real men in this country, the streets wouldn't be so full of women whose lives have been destroyed by this crap.

Of course they are responsible for their own actions. Women make stupid decisions to impress their boyfriends. But real men don't give drugs to women.

The ‘judge’ is a medical doctor? Or a person who ‘earned’ her judgeship based on Kolor, Kink, or Kin NEPO - the new power version of the old Democrat KKK?

[Seruzawa]

Someone forced her to take it? No? She used it willingly.

I wonder if the judge gets kick backs from the shrinks he send these cases to?

[GOPJ]

Sean O'Melia told the courtroom that Chad's mother had died shortly after his son due to the unbearable pain caused by her grief

[Mr.Unique]

Have we completely given up on the no profanity rule here?

If so, I can do it with the best.

It’s to make murder legal. Live in fear.

The Left isn't thinking this through if that is their real end game.

Conservatives are 90% of the Vets and 98% of gun owners. The only thing holding some of us back is we follow the Law. If it's open season, we can clean house with impunity...

They should be the ones living in fear.

Betting there was something more in the bowl than just the Devil’s Lettuce...

[BipolarBob]

Veterans with PTSD. Okay, not plenty, several. Okay?

[servo1969]

I... don’t think it was the weed.

[TornadoAlley3]

She’ll stab again. Beware.

“Know why Hitler didn’t drink tequila?

It made him mean”

it just makes me angry and Road rage, I can’t drink 5ths of tequila before driving anymore. /s

Pretty sure this woman was/is nutty, or if not since the guy supplied the weed possibly laced with something or was synthetic.
