A woman who stabbed her boyfriend 100 times after inhaling marijuana sobbed in court, while clutching a picture of dog - which she also killed.
Bryn Spejcher, 32, originally from Chicago, committed the horrific attack in May 2018, after taking two hits of her boyfriend's marijuana 'bong'.
According to an expert witness, the violent act was a result of a 'psychotic episode' caused by the cannabis.
'Dog lover' Spejcher is said to have smoked pot just five to ten times in her life, according to testimony heard in the trial that started last week at the Superior Court of California.
Moments after taking two inhalations on the bong — a water pipe used for smoking marijuana — Spejcher, began to fell unwell and started to hear voices in her head, according to her testimony
The court heard that she then grabbed three knives from the kitchen block and hurled them at O'Melia before stabbing him on every part of his body, leaving fatal wounds on his heart, lungs and vital arteries through his neck.
She then stabbed her dog and began repeatedly driving an eight-inch bread knife into her face and neck.
The former audiologist was originally charged with second-degree murder, however the district attorney has petitioned to make it involuntary manslaughter.
The suggested change — which could reduce the time in custody from 25 years to four — was triggered by testimony from a top forensic psychiatrist, who claimed Ms Spejcher's crimes were sparked by cannabis-induced psychosis.
Spejcher has been described by the defense as being of 'good character': She enjoyed helping others battle hearing loss, having almost become deaf at a young age.
Experts believe the substance causes an imbalance in hormones in the brain — including feel-good chemical dopamine, triggering mental illness.

thank God he turned himself around, but he still has crazy liberal ideas...
Oh yes, you can always tell who the heavy users are because they’re slow and stupid and lazy. Studies do show that it reduces cognitive abilities but there are always people who deny that fervently. The heavy users.
Yes, there's a very good possibility of that. When you buy drugs on the black market, you don't know for sure what the pot is laced with, if anything. Sort of like Ruzzian roulette.
Nah he would BEFORE they heal.
thats like saying " adult rape is not as bad a crime as pedophilia".
They are both bad, so dont try and substitute one evil for another claiming your evil " isnt as bad".
IE:You want poop or diarrhea in your soup? my answer, I dont want any of your soup, and just because its on the menu doesnt make it worth eating.

Yeah, it’s over-rated in safety.
I have an old, old friend in Texas, I’m in S Indiana. We still talk but haven’t seen each other in 3 decades. Anyway he is a proud lifelong pot smoker. Likes to brag about how sane he is and doing well. Also about how he has managed to get high every day since he was a teen.
I just don’t have the heart to point out he got brain cancer and narrowly survived while I’ve never had any major problems. Sure I realize many people get brain cancer who never smoked but that’s a LOT of carcinogens he’s pumped in his lungs to his blood for 40 years.
She vaguely reminds me of this chic:

She sounds vaccinated...
That’s good.
“Officers entered the scene and were only able to get her to drop the knife by striking her nine times with his retractable steel baton, reports the VC Star. “
I carry a retractable steel baton quite often. A rap to the knee cap, bridge of the nose or just about anywhere should stun an attacker. 9 hits is a lot. I wonder if it was PHP she was smoking.
Yes there is!
Pretty sure the bag would cover those neck wounds.
I wonder what it was laced with - plain weed doesn’t seem to cause crap like that....
"cannibus doesn’t cause this"
Well, not the cannabis that was around when we grew up. Hemp farmers have had some to drastically up the THC content of their product. The product she used may have had a mega dose of THC OR be laced with some other narcotic substance and she has a psychotic break.
I have not seen the rest of the thread but I imagine someone will post a hot-crazy matrix somewhere along the line.
Word studies for Hysteria and Assassin:
Wandring uterus. (A case of the Lady Crazies.) We no longer use this term in the diagnosis of psychological conditions.
Assassins; Idea in the Middle ages that islamic hit squads smoked hash and went out to do assassinations.
Nizari Ismailis, a heretical Shia sect, reportedly used opium and hashish and women to persuade potential assassins to embrace martyrdom and kill political enemies. They reportedly indulged before launching their attacks but this would not seem prudent when conducting any sensitive covert operation.
Something like this was apparently done with the Hamas assassins in their Assassinations.
It could have been, but I wonder if the marijuana was spiked with something else.
Her face seems to exhibit fetal alcohol syndrome. The left side of her face seems elevated compared to the right.
Weed mostly leads to sitting for several hours staring at the fish tank eating cheetos. It would be hard to get up the energy to stab someone 100 times.
True. But I still wouldn’t wanna go to a job interview stoned lol.
