There's a moral in this somewhere.

I can't post links right now but Lance is checking it out or I would have posted a link for you Howard buddy.

After reading the story it's pretty laughable..... that anyone would link this murder to pot......

First, this is a 'fox news item', an organization that finds 'truth' a rather medalsome concept.
This is the first story I have ever read that ties pot to violent behavior unless used with booze or a serious mental illness in which the pot played no part in the malevolent behaavior in either event. Fox loves to invent more boogy-men for us to fear.
If the consequences of her action wre not so terrible, the article should be placed with 'humerous fiction"--THIS IS MY OPINION ONLY!!

To state the obvious (which Fox tends to miss)...the article did not say
that Natavia Lowery (accused) killed Stein due to anyone smoking or
being high on pot; merely that Stein blew marihuana smoke into Lowery's
face and swore at her, resulting in the murder. Perfectly good reason to
kill someone - sarcasm just for the record!

I agree with you guys, Fox News is always looking for the big headline,
because in the end, the pot had nothing to do with the murder. Once
again furthering my disdain for the media!

Don't get me wrong, I do not support legalization of pot, nor do I believe
it is a 'harmless' drug. Anyway, enough about pot, it's too much like
work!?! Let's get back to guitars.
