. (Cannabis-smoking) mother stabs two sons, says the devil told her to do it.

psychotic people will always find other things or other people to blame for the way they are

Its true that if you are psychotic, then smoking weed is extremely bad for you, so are most mind altering substances, including alcohol.
Weed and the drugs they may give you to combat psychosis undo one and others effect.

The fact that she cried imo means she has a basic sense of guilt and reponsability , its a shame she hasn't become aware of that much earlier.
And this tragedy can not be undone.
And this person SHOULD imo pay for her crime, because murder is murder, the fact that you murder someone that is dependant on you , trusts you and IS your life reponsability .... makes the crime even worse. It was a person who you knew was weaker than you. It truelly is ...unforgivable ...

it would seem to me that this woman has been psychotic for a long time
and smoked weed, regularly
and she was prescribed legal drugs
it developed into more than psychosis , then this happened, you can not tell me that a social worker is not able to identify this issue escalating. These people are TRAINED to spot these signals. Its neglect on their part too !

it was her shitty brain that had her hearing voices, Ive smoked weed every single day of my life for the last ten+ years and im as healthy as an ox without any voices in my head and my iq is still above 140...time for the anti pot tards to make up more bullshit to scare you morons into believing the hype.

I agree with you. You have some valid and reasonable points.

Even though I don't like weed and I think any form of smoke is bad for your body, I agree with you that her main problem is in her brain, no cannabis needed.

Why does it always involve the bible and the devil in alot of these cases?

if she was smart and had good lawyers she would've went with postpartum depression.....

which the pot probably made worse- though is not to blame in this case.,

I have a friend who is schizophrenic.
He actually blames me sometimes for not recognising his mental state. Or acknowledging it. But I asked him this question "do you want me to treat you as I would your disease or as I would any person I consider a friend ?"
I don't try to criticize him anymore now.
I just try to encourage him where he goes right.
In some way, it helps him. And we are able to continue our friendship.

psychos will only become worse when using drugs, for sure.

Can you imagine what she would have done if she used acid?

It's an easy card to pull in those cases. It's another way of eluding full responsibility, using whatever beliefs you have.

you actually mean ...if he was RICH

true, but don't try to argue that point with a person who is psychotic , find away around that lol

it wasn't cannabis smoking that caused this - it was belief in the devil (and probably other severe mental issues) imo

everyone knows that except them

You seem a considerate person. I'm sure you'll find the way to get along with him while being a support.

Don't want to.

poor babies

She is psychotic. Drugs or not, she should have had her children taken away a long time ago.

I want to.
And in some way, the person you spoke about in your thread, I would have hoped she had someone to turn to as well, somebody who she could trust.
And while that is sad ... it does not make her crime any less.
Prevention is not an empty word, it only becomes so when governments cut back on social work.

This is also my opinion.

being psychotic is a momentarily faze , that is not permanent and not chronic, anyone can have a psychotic breakdown
I agree, DURING that breakdown, is best that the children are taken away or at least not present for the occasion. But you can not start to take children away JUST BECAUSE someone MAY have a psychotic breakdown.
I agree thats how tragedies happen.
More tragedies would happen if we start taking children away from parents of who other people think that they MAY HAVE one in the future.

BS

She lost it in a fit of rage and killed her 2 kids because the "babies daddy" left her ass.

Then SHe claims to be crazy because of the weed. And says she hears evil voices so she can get a lessor punishment.

And what black lady calls weed cannabis?

SHe seems rather logical minded for someone who is "crazy" and hears voices.

Just another planted horror story by the anti-pot elite.

nobody is disagreeing with you when you say she ought to be punished

planted horror story ?
these things happen way more often than you think !

Sure I know that but once I see a story that is obviously pointing towards creating a negative influence on an already proven non-harmful substance I tend to move on. Not dogging on you at all because you have been completely fair on this post but I'm pointing more towards the article structure.

well ...thank you
and i agree with you btw, whenever a story like this makes national media is for a reason

Hi.

I agree with you on that the article structure, as you put it, is about the harmful effects of cannabis, with which I don't agree because I already said that I don't see the connection in this case.

HOWEVER, I don't agree with you on cannabis being proven as a non-harmful substance.

But hey, peace, I'm not attacking anybody here!

Utter bollocks, she has been programmed to say it.

I had a friend, he got busted for growing, when he went for his pre-sentence parole hearing all the guy tried to do was to get my mate to blame the drug taking on his upbringing, the fact he grew up on a sink estate, his dad leaving from an early age etc. he refused and told the parole guy he smokes because he enjoys, simples. Parole guy turned around and said unless you blame it on something the judge will not look favourably, it's just a fucking cop out to blame drugs

^^ mine ^^
Wouldn't want people thinking i'm not prepared to put my name against something
