MODERN MARIJUANA TOOK MY SON'S LIFE

As attorneys argued over a section of Arizona law that differentiates
between marijuana and cannabis, the state's Supreme Court justices
joked about baking pot brownies in their kitchens.

They clearly do not understand how the marijuana industry has
irresponsibly manipulated pot into dangerously high levels of potency.

My son could explain it to them. Or he could if he was still with
us.

"I want to die," he wrote before hanging himself at the age of 31. "My
soul is already dead. Marijuana killed my soul + ruined my brain."
