More Proof Marijuana is Dangerous
by Big Dog on Nov 10, 2007 at 08:39 General
The police in New York have arrested Natavia Lowry, the 26 year old assistant to Linda Stein, a real estate “broker to the stars”. Lowry was arrested after she confessed to murdering Stein by beating her to death. It appears that Stein was a pretty nasty and abrasive person who had been riding the assistant really hard all week.
Lowry snapped when she was retrieving Stein’s email and Stein kept yelling at her and using profane language telling her to get the emails more quickly. Stein blew marijuana smoke in Lowry’s face and she snapped. She took some type of yoga stick Stein was holding away from her and beat her with it.
This is just another example of how marijuana is dangerous and can end up killing you.

This has got to be the stupidest rationale I’ve ever heard.
Marijuana had NOTHING to do with the murder. Her boss was riding her ass to the point of abuse and she simply snapped.
That would have happened whether pot was in the picture or not.
John, I guess you have never heard of a tongue in check remark?
This is like blaming murder on guns. Murders happen with all kinds of things including bare hands but we don’t outlaw those…
You mean tongue in cheek.
I agree with what you said in your comment. The headline, when taken out of its sarcastic context, is likely to lead readers to misconstrue your position.
Yeah, I did mean tongue in CHEEK.
Damn I hate when that happens…..
The body of the post though makes it clear (I think) that there were a bunch of things that led to this and the smoke was the final toke, I mean straw.
Marijuana is bad for you. But so are the legal drugs the government taxes. For that matter, so are fatty foods, sugar, and liberalism.
I’m not going to debate whether marijuana is good or bad for you. That debate will rage on for years, with no discernible answer.
My point was made.
As stated previously, your sarcasm didn’t come across in the headline. Yes, the text of the article makes it clear.
That is a wise decision. There is no doubt that MJ or any other drug has bad effects on people (the mere act of sucking smoke into one’s lungs is unhealthy). Does it have good effects? Seems to work for people with chemo related problems. Have I ever used it, no. Am I against it? No, why not make it legal and tax it like everything else? It would give the police something else to arrest people for; DWH (Driving While High).
As for the headline, it is supposed to bring people in. Drudge is famous for it.
