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’.

She will spend the 100 hours educating others on marijuana-induced psychosis
== == ==
She was so out of it that she stabbed her date 100 times, and got off.
So what does she remember about the marijuana-induced psychosis to teach others?
Except that it will get you off.
Sounds like you were diagnosed
Shrinks in the middle of it again. Always there to get criminals off. Unless they have good private mental health coverage. Then it’s off into phony treatment programs before being released to do it again....when the insurance runs out.
Schizoid == Personality Disorder
Schizophrenia == Psychosis
Schizoid == No loss of touch with reality
Schizophrenia == Subject to hallucinations and severe delusions
Schizoid. == Not known for aggression or rage
Schizophrenia == Violent behavior is common
Happy to educate you.
Marijuana is a powerful hallucinogen that can cause delusions in suseptable people.
Why isn’t there guilty by reason of insanity? Or guilty by reason of drug induced frenzie?
this defense.....
One way of another the guilty go free to find fresh, innocent victims.
Being high is both a defense.
Hallucinating and Being delusional is.
Instead of not guilty by reason of insanity
It should be Guilty and insane.
Current figure is the “clearance rate” for murder in the US
was over 80% in 1965 and was 54% in 2023.
Others currently unsolved.
FBI figure.
Schizoid - slang for schizo aka schizophrenic
Glad to educate you
RE: Look up the word schizoid. It doesn’t mean what you think it means.
Rodney Dangerfield: I went to my shrink. He told me I have a split personality. Two completely different people from my one mind.
He gave him a big bill.
I told him “Here’s half. Get the rest from the other guy.”
Schizoid
“ Of, relating to, or suggestive of schizophrenia. No longer in scientific use.
Relating to or characterized by the coexistence of disparate or antagonistic elements.

You’re Welcome
“””cannabis-induced psychosis, which she suffered after taking two hits of the victim’s bong.”””
OK. I got the message. If you need to kill someone, be sure to bring your marijuana bong with you so you can get a jail-out-of free card.
Why do you think they call it dope?
It’a obvious that no one on this thread took the time to read the article. She stabbed the victim, she stabbed her dog, she stabbed herself which almost killed her.
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?
She may be guilty, but people who are perfectly normal and go berzerk, usually have extenuating circumstances.
Some researchers say that the cannabis plant has other chemicals in it that suppress the psychosis and hallucinations caused by THC. So plant based marijuana users don’t get as much hallucinations and psychosis while people who use artificial manmade cannabinoids do get more hallucinations.
You eat or smoke poison you get sick or die. Stay away from all psychotropic drug users. Good luck to anyone who hangs with drug abusers.
It goes back a long time time even 1969 21st Century Schiizoid Man which I didn’t discover till later when April Wine did he cover
I'm very very confoozed about this.
