Rockford, Illinois stabbing suspect blamed 'laced' marijuana, authorities say

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.
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.
Rockford has dispensaries, so laced weed is highly unlikely
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.
  
  You're telling me your dealer doesn't lace your $20 bag of weed with $100 worth of hard drugs?
  
  Never heard of moon rocks?
- Here's the answer to your question as provided by the government and media: DRUGS ARE BAD!!!!

- 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.
