Of course, the news is going to run with this as if it’s true, despite this “laced marijuana” apparently reaching no one but this guy and/or only causing him specifically with violent psychosis.
I guess the drug warriors have found their new way to demonize cannabis.
Seems like a new spin on the classic Reefer Madness.
Why put in the work to come up with something new when they can just dust off old propaganda, spice it up a little, and repackage it at 1/10 the cost of a brand new smear campaign?
No need to repackage it. They’ve already colorized the original for the kids!
- I did not know that. That’s hilarious
- She looks like she’s having a great time jamming out on that piano*
* That’s what she’s doing right? Been forever since I watched it ironically to make fun of it.
Basically, yeah. She’s being egged on by a guy smoking a joint to keep playing faster… because apparently when you get high you like fast piano music?

Sometimes!
I’m more of a Pink Floyd guy…
I’m all over the place. I’ve given up trying to make a playlist ahead of time. Kinda just have to bounce around on shuffle until something hits me right and then go from there.
And sometimes you create jazz!

wtf?! Even if it was, normal folk don’t go on murderous sprees.
It’s your typical drug war propaganda. Taking an undeniably crazy man’s word for it too.
How do you lace a bud of a plant with something in a way that isn’t immediately noticeable, anyway?
And who is lacing drugs with more free drugs?
It’s almost as stupid as the whole “bad people put drugs into Halloween candy to hook children” myth. Because schoolchildren famously have money and can definitely figure out which house gave them the Baby Meth bar.
Never heard of moon rocks?
Ever see a moon rock? If someone gave me that when I wanted weed, and didn’t know it was just more weed I’d be upset.
Imagine not even knowing what the drug you want looks like.
“One marijuana please.”
Gets handed a bag of brown powder, a syringe and a spoon
“Whoa this is more complicated than I thought.”
Actually I have a story about this. When I was a teenager and had just started getting into pot I was hanging out with friends and someone wanted to get a bag of cocaine to mix into a blunt and spent like 4 hours trying to find a connection before finding someone. The dude who wanted it went to make the deal and comes back with meth. So after calling him an idiot and trying to figure out what to do, they call a dude they know uses meth and offer a trade. Guy comes over, takes the meth and gives us some coke. About an hour later, he comes back all pissed off because it wasn’t even meth. It was just a bag of plastic beads, which he only discovered after smoking some. 🤣
That distillate and kief certainly aren’t free. •́ ‿ ,•̀
You’re telling me your dealer doesn’t lace your $20 bag of weed with $100 worth of hard drugs?
Here’s the answer to your question as provided by the government and media: DRUGS ARE BAD!!!
Here’s the answer to your question as provided by Mr. Mackey: Drugs are bad. Mmmmmmmkay?
Rockford has dispensaries, so laced weed is highly unlikely
Yeah, no.
Stake him to the top of a fire ant hill and pour honey on him.

Neither of your options has to be true. Blaming it on weed as temporary insanity rather than the guy just being psycho is a third option.

I just don’t know that there are any other cases of ‘laced’ cannabis making people murderously psychotic and I’ve never heard of cannabis triggering such an episode either, which is why I doubt both explanations, but I’d be happy to see evidence to the contrary.

Paranoia and delusions leading to a type of psychosis are not the same as violent psychosis though. That’s what I was talking about. I don’t know that ‘the weed made me do it’ defense is one that has been tried to many times, if ever.

I’m not a mental health professional. I’m just talking about people being arrested for violent behavior or even mass murder like in this case and placing the blame on going psychotic from cannabis.
