That's because pot makes you mellow.

I'm not trying to be cute here (and I'm no expert), perhaps he smoked salvia divinorum or even jimson weed by accident? This is a pretty extreme reaction.

Wow! The judge certainly knocked down the possibility of an insanity defense. I don't often hear of strong words from US judges.

What a horrible thing to have happen.

Isn't this the stuff what Kinky wants to legalize?

Sounds to me like somebody told the court what they wanted to hear (Reefer madness story) in a bid for leniency.

That would have become known in the forensic tests before trial, I think.

Is salvia legal in the UK?

You do realize that if somebody posted every instance of violence caused by a drunk, it would crash the FR server?

Actually, Kinky wants to "Decriminalize" pot.

And yes, there is a big difference between legalization and decimalization.

Riiiiiight.

Yes - I recall that every time I smoked a doobie - I had an uncontrollable desire to run out and grab some gardening shears and stab the first person I saw.

My God - what would this guy have done if he had belted down a fifth of Bourbon???

Good afternoon.

I think they were going for a twofer. They were blaming the para's Iraq service and the weed.
