(+) Yeah! (+)

Some people are just violent

That's not a hottake.

Sure it does. Not from smoking, but from high enough quantities meant for dealing.

is it a shiitake mushroom?

I think you meant hot cakes

Nope it's just another poor excuse for someone being a terrible human being. I have schizophrenia and depression which I've dealt for with 15 years now and in therapy and take a couple meds. I also smoke weed sometimes. And I never hurt a single person due to smoking. It's terrible how many excuses are made in our society for evil humans who do really bad acts to others

You're right. Weed doesn't kill people. People WITH weed kill people.

Ok, but what if the weeds kill your garden and you starve because dead veggies.

That other topic really upset you

lol

People only kill over weed cause illegal drug deals. Considering how easy it is for someone to get violent on k2 or booze when I caught a guy smoking weed innprison the other day I let it slide. He disposed of it as I caught him and I had to do my job somewhat but I didn't nail him to the wall for it. Justbtold him to do a better job hiding it from me and carried on.

I saw a weed plant carrying an AR-15. :(

If weed doesn't make people kill people, then how come we have plenty of instances where someone who was selling or had consumed weed got shot to death by the police? It's either the weed or the cops, those are the only two things in common in all of those instances. And there's no way it could be the cops.

Weed isn't doing that; prohibition is.

Deep down I feel like I shouldn't be allowed to own a firearm, even though I want to.

Don't do drugs or you'll turn out like catboy

Agreed TC. Some people are just bad deep down, or had a bad upbringing, or something happens that doesn't go their way and it's just what happens to push them over the edge.

Guns don't kill people. Bullet kills people.

The same could be said for money, no one is going to rob someone for 1 dollar however you have enough of those 1 dollar bills and the likelihood grows...

I watched a man overdose on weed and get extremely violent with his girlfriend. This made me think. The world is getting more fucked up every day and everyone is getting more fucked up. Is this the end of the world as we know it? Will we become a bunch of fucked up zombies (the zombie apocalypse has been theorized to have been caused by weed). Theres is good in weed. No doubt about that. People use weed to enjoy the simpler things in life. Music, friends and food. But like most drugs and things you will have to pay a price. But this doesnt mean that you should stop using weed, or at least dont do it to hard. You dont wanna become like that guy from before, or you for that matter! Marijuana is one of the most widely consumed substances in the world. Almost half of Americans age 12 and over have tried weed at some point in their lives. And that number continues to grow. A recent study on weed and driving showed that pot increases reaction time, which increases the risk of accidents, which increases the risk of getting pulled over, which means cops can search your car and find all kinds of hidden contraband. And when they find that you were driving high they are going to make a huge mistake. They are going to give you a ticket. A ticket you most likely cant afford. That is how they keep people broke, like the guy before. But I hear that this is going to change in the near future, more people will be paying more attention to their education, making more money and driving cars that are more expensive so that way they can afford to feed their families. This will allow us to buy bigger houses, with better cars and of course better education so that we can get a better job, and maybe theres even a chance that we can travel the world to see what life in other countries is like. It makes me think that maybe theres a reason for life on this planet.

What you saw was a violent asshole who was high being himself. Don't blame the marijuana for a person's actions. Also please elaborate when you say he "overdosed"....do you mean he was high?
