Have Most Active Shooters Smoked Weed? - Questions Worth Asking
I have been thinking about active shooters a bit lately. I have an active hypothesis that most of them smoked marijuana, which THC chemical has poorly affected the murderer's brains. Salvador Ramos, the Uvalde, Texas, elementary school killer? Smoked weed. He was upset with his grandmother when she prevented him from smoking.
Salvador: you are in the afterlife now, and I have questioned your parenting in past posts, but I think THC was a part of it.
Then, there is the Vegas shooter, Stephen Paddock. An article poses the following:
Trying to decipher the motives of a mass murderer like Paddock is no mere academic exercise; it is vital that law enforcement officials and policymakers are able to identify warnings signs and institute prevention strategies to try to head off the next attack. Too often, the system has fallen short, with clear warnings missed — and lives lost. Understanding Paddock’s motivations becomes even more critical in light of the violent responses to Black Lives Matters protests by a number of far-right agitators who, like Paddock, appear motivated by a passion for guns, extremist ideologies, and a desire to “wake up Americans” to their perceived plight.

I agree with the premise of the article. Figure out the root of the problem. It is mental, no question. Ideological? Okay, but enhanced or exacerbated by poisonous brain chemicals? Mexicans call it "mota". There are a thousand nicknames for it.
Millions foolishly celebrate it. To the detriment of all society.
For sure, a mentally driven or derived problem is at the root of active shooters.
My point is, I think most of them have to do with consumption and absorption, and the cerebral alteration and envenomation of THC.
a crystalline compound that is the main active ingredient of cannabis.
Tetrahydrocannabinol
I think that the above chemical is the killer. Or, the ingredient that "activates" the active shooter, or killer. Some end up killing themselves. I think I have personally known people of both types. They all wound up dead by their own hand, some killing other innocents before their own tragic and horrific demise.
Paddock, aged 64 in 2017, when "going psycho" and erupting on his killing spree (worst ever in U.S. history), was known for late night drinking, gambling, and big amounts of money.
I read about his jobs back in the 1970s and the 1980s.
Did he smoke cannabis? Was his brain affected by THC?
I bet he did. I am willing to bet that he absorbed his share of THC.
Prove me wrong. Active shooters are getting affected by weed.
Highland Park, Florida? No, Chicago. Parkland, Florida. There are so many active shooters, we all lose track.
Again, my point is, almost all of them have THC in common.
THC is killing us more than the guns. And, of course gang violence is the true killer when it comes to most homicides in the United States. Mexico, it is probably three times worse.
Growers, distributors, sellers, pushers, enforcers, henchmen, lawyers, marketers, farmers, smokers, film and T.V. and podcast spreaders and influencers of Mary Jane?
Shame on you. Stop killing yourselves and us.
You have been told.
PS: Can medical marijuana be effective for small children with difficult medical conditions, or older folks with mental or physical ailments? Absolutely. Like morphine, codeine, and all types of medically justified narcotics. Medicine is medicine for a scientific and humane reason. But medicine in all forms have side effects. Let us be wary and aware.
Medicine is not meant to drive us mad.
Do all pot smokers go crazy? Not necessarily. Do all active shooters have pot smoking in common? I think so.
There are always outliers, sure. We cannot account for all psychosis that drives some people to these extremes. But we can and should account for the majority of it.
Caveat emptor.

A smart friend suggested maybe vaping is doing it, more than THC.
