Police: Denver Man Ate Pot-Infused Candy Before Shooting Wife

Oh Lord, here we go. Pot makes people kill other people. Got it. You see how they randomly linked the two incidents together like they one couldn't have happened without the other? What other things happened that day that might be a more reasonable explanation for his behavior? We'll probably not ever know, because as soon as law enforcement got the sent of drugs - and pot at that (isn't it legal in CO???) - they just used it as another excuse to "prove" their already debunked view on drugs. Just when you think you just might see a silver lining and a positive change in the critical mass, something like this happens and you're reminded that you don't live in such a foreword thinking place after all. It's rules and regulations over personal freedom are more draconian than anything else. Makes me sad :(

Investigators reportedly found receipts for “Karma Kandy Orange Ginger” and said he appeared under the influence of drugs during an interview. They’re investigating whether there were any other drugs in his system at the time of the shooting." READ MORE...
