Current Events > Nikolas Cruz says WEED caused him to KILL and the United States should BAN IT!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

23 y/o Trailer Trash, Nikolas Cruz, the "cold and calculated" Parkland School Shooter has blamed WEED for the 2018 massacre of 14 students and 3 teachers after pleading guilty and apologizing to the victim's families who now faces the death penalty!!

He entered guilty pleas on all 17 counts of murder and 17 counts of attempted murder at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School

He has a history of mental health and behavioural issues according to court documents as he told a judge he was experiencing "anxiety" and seemingly blamed pot for the attack stating "US would do better if everyone STOPPED smoking marijuana. I hate drugs and i believe this country would do better if everyone would stop smoking marijuana and doing all these drugs and causing racism and violence out in the streets"

He previously admitted to using a lot of marijuana and Xanax

He understood that he would either spend the rest of his life in prison for be put to death and would not be allowed to appeal once pleading guilty

He was asked if he wanted to address the victim families and asks if he could take off his mask before stating "I am very sorry for what i did and i have to live with it everyday. If i were to get a second chance i would do everything in my power to help others. I do not care if you don't believe me. I get nightmares sometimes and can't even watch tv anymore."

Cruz then starts TEARING UP stating his warning on Drugs and marijuana specifically that caused his mental capacity to function

He said to them he knows it is their decision if he lives or dies and says the victims should have a right to choose if he should liv eor die but understands it will be the jury

He was then taken away as prosecutors vowed to seek the death penalty and his change of plea to guilty would open the penalty phase in which a jury would decide whether he gets life without parole or death

If prosecutors do not drop the death penalty then all 12 jurors must agree on it

The defense will recount Cruz's history of mental health and traumatic childhood after his father died when he was 5 and mother passed 4 months after the massacre

Do you think marijuana is the root of all "evil" and should be banned?

thought weed made the demon go away buddy

---

oh cool but maybe actually you know what? Fuck him...

---

screw that lil shit. could've decided that day not to go through with what he was doing. more people would've ended up alive.
---

Poor excuse for killing someone

---

Don't give people like this a voice TC

---

He's just a fucking Nazi

---

Yeah, it's definitely the Devil's herb. Not the fact that unstable teenagers are able to get their hands on assault rifles

Fuck him

---

I'm more curious about whatever SSRIs he was on than freaking weed.

You can't catch a bird, homes.

Guy I went to school with blamed weed for taking a knife to school. The fact that the judge bought it is why I have no faith in the justice system. He took it so he could show off and look cool to the other anime obsessed kids that still put up with him, and the fact that a judge in a fucking blue state bought his BS was astounding.

Same here. Motherfucker is throwing a hail mary to try and get out of the death penalty and try and play himself as a victim to get jury sympathy.

---

Oh, he gets nightmares "sometimes" and can't bear to watch TV anymore. Someone get me the Kleenex.

I know a lot of people who are addicted to weed. It's sad to see people who can't get through the day without being stoned.

Fair, but not once have I ever wanted to shoot someone because of smoking weed. Quite the opposite effect actually, I've seen dudes who hate each other work some shit out after a bowl, it's not an aggressive drug.

Now I've also seen alcohol make enemies of best friends, but nobody cares about that

---

I bet Pfizer got him to say that.

Weed can exacerbate psychosis issues but sure as fuck doesn't cause it
---

He should get the death penalty just for trying to shit on weed's rep like that.

Reminds me of a scene in a Clint Eastwood western, Hang 'Em High.

There's a condemned man -- presumably a rapist -- who goes on a big pretentious spiel about the evils of alcohol while he's waiting for the gallows.

Is there a large correlation between SSRI and murder?

Cop out.

Also if weed was directly linked to causing users to commit violence how come crime rates havent drastically risen in places with legal weed?

---

Why do you still have the fucking death penalty anyway? Toss this dude in a tiny cell for the rest of his life.

Depends who you ask and there are many articles on the internet. I remember that one time Hannity cut off a reporter for suggesting psychotropic drugs were responsible but even he would admit many were taking them.

A) Mind linking some peer reviewed articles showing a causation?
B) Did the reporter present studies? Or just what he saw? I'm not sure how that provides proof...

Why take personal responsibility, when you can blame something else?

---

I don't care why Nikolas Cruz tried the KILL the United States. Fuck Him. LIFE IN PRISON.

---

Weed used to be awesome, but it honestly sucks now. Makes me feel like the room is spinning and I get overheated and throw up. This is dispensary stuff in Colorado. Havent touched it in probably a month and probably never will again.

---

Death penalty. No trial.

---

Fuck this guy
Also, his ramblings sound insane

---

That's sad. It sounds like he or his lawyer just wanted to make a political statement and/or look good to the jury. I know that he's going to do everything to avoid the death penalty, but seriously? He didn't even sound that sorry. Just guilty and scared. I'm surprised he didn't toss in video game too.

Just feed him food that would have been thrown out due to expiry, I'm sure there's thousands of tons daily gets thrown away.

Lol which dispensary have you been going to?

---

I havent had any weed is like over a decade. I use to a little when I was younger, though But I dont anymore. Not really sure if I ever really felt anything from it. Either way? I cant do it anymore
---

We should ban him.

Weed is arguably the least evil narcotic. I'm not a Weed Bro, but I do support legalisation and taxation on the same level of alcohol or cigarettes, because doing so will outright eliminate a black market.

Anyone making weed out as "the root of all evil" is both an idiot and the last person I would ever wanna hang out with. I don't smoke at all, tobacco or weed, but the people who are outright raging against pot on a fundamental basis? Chill the fuck out and get a personality. Have some fucking nuance for once in your life.

Or at least be consistent and rail against alcohol and tobacco. If your argument against weed is "it's illegal for a reason and the others are legal for a reason", shut the fuck up.

---

Not video games? Interesting choice though

Sounds like you need stuff with less active ingredient, and maybe avoid pure sativa strains.

I think they grow weed now hat's like 50/50 between THC and CBD. Even as someone who's been toking for 12+ years some of the super potent weed we got nowadays is too much for me regardless of the strain.

They'll all just blame everything but themselves.
