I'm actually surprised that many people in this day and age, some who view themselves as libertarian leaning, associate marijuana smoking with violent or thuggish behavior.

I guess not much has changed since Reefer Madness came out.

I guess we haven't progressed as much as I thought

LOL I quit smoking in my mid-20s because it just put me to sleep.

Unless you grew it yourself, your marijuana usage supports "thugs, terrorists, criminals, etc. "

It's a mandatory theme for helping to explain why Trayvon Martin deserved to die. Check the Zimmerman threads.

I'm really surprised that this attitude of yours is widespread. I thought that it was out of fashion.

Mark O'Mara says that even small amounts of marijuana can lead to violent behavior. Marijuana does not lead to violence. It leads to giggling, snacking, and napping... usually in that order. The only sense in which a pot smoker gets violent is when you hear one of them say "Dude, I really f***ed up that bag of potato chips!"

So Zimmerman's lawyers say that Martin was stoned. They're saying that a teenage boy significantly smaller than George Zimmerman and who was high on pot got the best of George in a fight. Congratulations, George—you just got beat up by Jeff Spicoli. It's a good thing Harold and Kumar weren't there—Zimmerman would have been outnumbered and overwhelmed! They would have chopped George Zimmerman to pieces with hatchets… like pot addicts always do. No, pot just makes people befuddled, confused, and unaware of the facts… or exactly what George Zimmerman's lawyers are trying to do to the jury. Maybe they should pass around a couple of joints.

It made Trayvon PARANOID that Zimmerman was a dangerous person.

You're kidding, right? If someone followed you in their car, then on foot and then spend four whole minutes searching for you while you hide, YOU wouldn't view that as a danger?
