This guy may have smoked marijuana. Give me a break. In any case, the incident you refer to happened more than fifteen years ago. Compare that to the 52 calls Yalanda Parrish has made to the Jeffersonville police in the eight years she's resided in Jeffersonville and the fact the she pulled a gun on a guy about six months ago and I'm believe that this woman is a time bomb just waiting to go off (on somebody).
She needs her gun-carry permit pulled ASAP. She also needs to be charged for what she did. Mr. Mosier was perhaps stupid for confronting her but he did nothing illegal. Her son also needs to be dealt with if he kicked Mr. Mosier as alleged.
There was
never any murder conviction for Mr. Mosier!!!
It's the Hash that I'm worried about?
How does Cannabis Affect the Body?
After using cannabis, THC is absorbed into the bloodstream and it travels to the brain. In the brain, THC binds to specific receptors, called cannabinoid receptors. This binding reaction in the brain produces the effects felt by the user.
How quickly cannabis reaches the brain varies. After smoking, the effects are felt almost immediately and last for one to three hours. After eating, it takes about an hour for it to take effect and the effects may last for as long as four hours.
THC is stored in fat cells. It takes a long time to completely clear from the body. Although this does not produce long-lasting psychoactive effects (effects which affect the mind, mood or mental processes), it can result in a positive drug test long after the drug has been taken and the effects have worn off.
Will Cannabis Always Produce the Same Effects?
The effects are unpredictable. It is different for everyone. The way a person feels after taking cannabis depends on many factors:
* age
* mood, expectations, and environment
* medical or psychiatric conditions
* the amount of cannabis taken (dose)
* whether the cannabis is smoked or eaten
* how often and for how long cannabis has been used
* use of other drugs (including alcohol, non-prescription, prescription, and street drugs)
Short-Term Effects
As THC enters the brain, users may feel anxious, euphoric, 'high' and/or fearful. Others may feel relaxed and talkative. Some people enjoy the perceptual distortions produced by cannabis; other people find these effects to be unpleasant. When first using cannabis, many people do not experience psychoactive effects (effects which affect the mind, mood or mental processes), but with repeated use they do.
Short-term use of cannabis can produce many other effects:
* red eyes
* spontaneous laughter
* drowsiness
* increased hunger (often called "munchies")
* mild paranoia, anxiety or panic
* impaired reaction time, coordination and motor skills
* impaired short-term memory
* increased heart rate and decrease in blood pressure (may lead to fainting)
* dry mouth and throat
* irritation of the respiratory tract (with smoking)
In addition, a person could potentially experience:
* hallucinations (seeing something that does not exist)
* pseudo-hallucinations (seeing colours or patterns that the user knows are not real)
* paranoia
* severe agitation
* disorientation
* abdominal pain
On its own, cannabis intoxication is not lethal. However, cannabis interferes with concentration, perception, reaction time, and coordination. These effects impair a person's ability to drive safely (cars, boats, snow mobiles, etc) or operate any machinery.
Alcohol and cannabis intensify each other's effects. Combined use may result in severe impairment.
Cannabis, either alone or in combination with alcohol, is a factor in many injuries and unintentional deaths.
Long-Term Effects
Don't start nothing it won't be nothing.
