text: Pot didn't cause the shooting, I guess, if that's the story we're to believe. I have kids. My kids are old enough to know better than 1. to smoke the stuff and 2. to walk around with it. The aunt says he was a good kid who stayed out of trouble. If it was one of my kids I would be raising holy heck to keep them away from the stuff. Pot changes the way the user interacts with his/her environment. It was criminalized for a reason for 100 years. Too late now for the kid who got shot but I think that the reasoning is wrong. The kid out in Palmer got shot over pot, and this kid got shot over pot. Tell me that there's not a problem with it.
