Has anyone noticed that the recent group of mass murderers are 1) young males and 2) all marijuana users? It may not be polite to say it, as so many (such as the state of California for example) have a major vested interest in the legalization of marijuana (to the tune in California of about $345,000,000 a year). It is also not polite to mention that today’s marijuana which is so much more potent than the weed that their grandparents smoked, is capable of inducing psychosis such as “scromiting” which is a combination of screaming and vomiting. Given that the brain does not mature until about the age of twenty-five, whose interest is it in to provide young, impressionable, immature minds with a drug that is clearly dangerous to a particular age group?

Yet, in all the talk about gun control with the silly demands from some that the voting age be lowered, the use of marijuana by immature individuals seems to be ignored. The link below is to an excellent article which points out disturbing facts that seem to either be ignored or totally buried by doctors, editors, and government officials. I fear we have unleashed a monster on our youth, and everyone will have to pay a price in destroyed lives.
