Proof that marajuana is safer than Vicodin - when is the last time someone stoned on pot committed a mass shooting? The worst they probably did was rob a 7-11 for munchies!

"Like virtually all massacre shooters before him, the notorious Batman shooter James Holmes is now reported to have been taking hardcore pharmaceutical drugs. In Holmes’ case, they happen to be the very same drugs that ultimately led to the early death of actor Heath Ledger.

With a fix for ‘altering his state of mind’, the ‘Batman shooter’ was heavily hooked on the prescription painkiller Vicodin. Holmes even reportedly dosed up on a pharmaceutical cocktail just before the shooting.

Side effects of Vicodin use, even at ‘recommended’ levels which Holmes likely far exceeded, include ‘altered mental states’ and ‘unusual thoughts or behavior’."

The logic presented is a stronger argument to outlaw batman movies rather than legalize MJ.

Drilling down through the links, guess what?

There is no source whatsoever for the Vicodin claim.

The only reason most vicodin addicts commit crimes is to get more drugs. It's not something that makes people violent or high strung in general.

There are "unconfirmed reports. "

I.e. no source at all.

In that case I suppose we are in agreement that controlled substanced need to remain controlled.
