Marijuana: The Drug of Choice for Teenage Killers (Opinion)

America’s dope dealers are scoring some new victories and the Grim Reaper is a busy spirit.

Maybe you haven’t seen the story out of Massachusetts.  A teenage boy had his head and arms allegedly removed by a friend after the pair shared a few joints.  It’s a good thing marijuana is harmless, but unfortunately the headless boy is dead from some unkind cuts.

In Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood, the death toll from drug overdoses is 9 in just one-and-one-half days.  Kensington is a community probably smaller than Boise and maybe not much larger than Twin Falls.

Having lately been the target of the dope-fiend crowd, I guess I’m not making any efforts for peaceful coexistence.  Pity, as I so wanted to be loved by fiends, perverts and junkies now at air temperature.  I’ll wager marijuana wasn’t just the gateway drug for the Massachusetts killer, but the dead as well in Pennsylvania.
