Marijuana tends to act more like a depressant than a stimulus on the mind and body. That's an inexact explanation, but about as close as I can get to describing what it does to a person.
Pot heads tend to be too mellow to do much of anything exciting. Their adrenaline is pretty much turned off.
Except when it's laced with PCP or other substances. More common among lower tier societal elements than faculty members, suburbanites, and hipsters.
Secondly,while not necessarily direct instigators, even the non-laced smokers find themselves in venues where they become easy prey or through the haze of general oblivion misread social signals and cause offense.
Just my two cents based on observation since the sixties. It is what it is and not worth arguing over. Have a good one.
Well, if the girl had popcorn, they could’ve called the nearest retired jackboot to shoot her in front of her family.
Cambodian street gangs are down right evil. If these perps know what’s good for them, they will leave the country and go back to meheeko, where they belong.
Oh, and if a Cambodian street gang does decide to take up the cause, these perps won’t be safe even in meheeko chitty.
This will be interesting to watch.
Pot-smoking causes users to trivialize horrible things and even laugh at them.
Vanesa Tapia Zavala, a 25 year old mother of a 5 year old from Santa Ana, has been
charged with one felony count of murder for her role in the death of 23-year-old
Annie Kim Pham in Santa Ana. She is being held in lieu of $1 million bail, if
convicted she faces 15 years to life in prison.
You see more violent episodes with the younger crowd because it’s never just Marijuana. It’s Booze, opiates, cocains, synthetics, contrary reaction to Benzodiazapams and other abused drugs.
The violence is during the actual transaction, involves the dealer and/or money and involves somebody feeling like they are getting ripped off (stoned or not), and not much of a result from actually getting stoned.
There’s so many other factors involved and it’s easy to blame Marijuana, there are advocates the freely admit that the illegal-ness of the Marijuana transaction and the black market prices are what really cause the violence (dealer and cartel) and think decriminalizing Marijuana use and possession would save us a bunch of money and help us get rid of people that shouldn’t be in the gene pool anyway.
He was a white hispanic
“A lot of marijuana users also drink and use other drugs.”
A lot of non-marijuana users also drink and use other drugs, too.
MJ — which I don’t use and never have used — is a depressant. Overall, it makes people shiftless and useless, not manic killers.
I would contrast that to the armed police thugs that pulled me from my pickup on my own ranch -— trespassing -— looking for “drug dealers” -— I subsequently learned they had poached an elk on my property, to boot.
Probably her “race” and her looks were contributing factors to the rage and brutality of her attackers.
“Passive? The Boston Bombers were pot heads to the extreme. James Holmes was too, I think. And the Virginia Tech killer, etc, etc, and ETC!!!!!!”
MJ had nothing to do with any of them, except that they presumably used it to quiet their demons.
More to the point, if you think the MJ and not Islam caused the Boston Bombers to do what they did, then I suggest you stop smoking pot because your intelligence is being impacted.
Stop defending pot! It makes presidents disengaged!
“Stop defending pot! It makes presidents disengaged!”
Ha. If Obama just sat around stoned for the next 3 years, it would be a vast improvement than when he actually does stuff.
In seriousness, I am not a fan of pot. However, hyperbole gets us no where. Reefer madness is not true. Pot makes people losers, not killers.
“The BB probably assembled their pressure cooker bombs while stoned, laughing the whole time.”
Probably, but the influence of Islam is what caused them to plant them. More to the point, the bombs were not very effective. I could do better with tree stump remover, gasoline, and ivory snow soap.
Thanks for the update. I wonder if any of them will be leaving the country.
