No. Neither. Or, cite research by reputable sources. His usual sources are those beacons objectivity The Partnership for a Drug Free America and the NIDA. |

LR, please provide links to the studies that show "the higher concentrations of THC cause people to become VIOLENT and AGITATED when they cannot obtain their weed".

Already have done so, multiple times. Why don't you potheads provide some links FROM CREDIBLE SOURCES that prove weed is completely harmless? Blackfox's beacons of objectivity are as far to his side of the argument as my sources are to mine. Although, the LAST time this discussion surfaced, I provided links to the British equivalent of our American Medical Association that profiled studies of the ill effects of marijuana and some propensity toward violence as the THC levels were raised. Ironically, they could NOT raise the THC level to where hyroponically grown weed is, because of the potential dangers to the participants. Seemed pretty telling to me.

Naturally violent people who are calmed by weed are going to appear to become violent when they can't get their weed. They are violent people and what has been keeping them mellow isn't available. The weed didn't bring on the violence the lack of weed did. Make it legal and you'll see less violence because these violent people will have their weed and stay mellow.

Toxicology report only states weed
"CBS4 News has also learned the preliminary toxicology report from Eugene’s autopsy revealed Eugene, 31, had been smoking marijuana near the time of the incident.
Investigators had hoped the initial tests might lead them to quickly identify other drugs Eugene might have taken which could have caused such psychotic behavior, but the law enforcement official said it will now be at least two months before all the lab work will be completed."

I feel strongly enough in my position to gladly wager a friendly $20 that the final report will contain other, more violence inducing substances. It certainly will not be blamed on MJ. |

Until then, "O" well....

Actually, the biggest help may come this week from the Supremes. If they rule the individual mandate portion of the ACA an unconstitutional use of the Commerce Clause, it will surely set a nice precedent for challenging other spurious uses of the CC. |

Well, I guess I should be glad you didn't take that bet. Marijuana ONLY in his system. Of course I was still right in saying it won't be blamed on marijuana. The article I read on Drudge twice mentioned that they are now left to look for some other cause for his behavior. Why don't they just blame pot? |

Currently there is no testing for bath salts. That's why they can't say it was bath salts..

Can you show me in this story, that they used this test on the subject? It is not being used by Law Enforcement. That was a link to a home shopping network drug test kit. No bath salt testing was done on that man.

I'm sure the medical examiner didn't use a home test. I was simply showing you that there are in fact tests available for bath salts.
They preformed a full toxicology on him. From the story:
"The much-anticipated toxicology report released by Miami-Dade Medical Examiner Dr. Bruce Hyma found marijuana in Eugene’s system, something CBS4 News had previously reported, but no evidence of any other street drugs, alcohol or prescription drugs, or any adulterants found in street drugs.
The report said this includes cocaine, LSD, amphetamines (Ecstasy, Meth and others), phencyclidine (PCP or Angel Dust), heroin, oxycodone, Xanax, synthetic marijuana (Spice), and many other similar compounds.
Hyma’s office specifically ruled out bath salts, a class of synthetic drugs that have been known to cause bizarre behavior and overheating of people who use them, two things that made some believe Eugene’s cannibalistic behavior could be blamed on the drugs."

Yep. More big government trampling on states rights. I don't recall him asking the States before he released 276 crack dealers, reducing crack trafficking sentences an average of 136 months, one of whom returned to Chattanooga and committed murder within six months of his release. Seems funny he'd give CRACK dealers a break and NONE to the weed crowd; but of course this has NOTHING to do with race, it's about JUSTICE, which we must have, though the Heavens fall.... |

Sure he did Tsavo. The representatives of the 50 states voted on and passed the Fair Sentencing Act. Drug law reform, over the next several years, will not be initiated from within since our lawmakers are all bought off with special interest "speech". No, reform will be forced upon us from the outside. Other, more rational nations are wising up to the failure and futility of prohibition. |

I don't know of anyone who died from an overdose of cannabis although I'm sure it is possible, rare but possible.
With rx overdoses you only need to follow the money. Talk about a multi-billion dollar industry that involves pharmaceutical, medical, retail and insurance corporations. Geesh.
