Something I've talked about before, never thought it would get front and center treatment by Hollywood, but I guess 'Kill the Messenger' broke a little ice.

Funny enough I wrote a piece that explains that. Short version: If you want to find suicide bombers look for people who are suicidal. People with PTSD. And the best indicator of that? Excessive alcohol or pot use. Which may explain why so many suiciders spend their last days getting drunk or stoned - the 9/11 guys being a case in point.
It is my contention that if we were treating these people instead of hounding them the country would be better off. We might have a lot fewer vet suicides as well. I think there are already 23 med pot states and 4 legal states + DC.The police resources we waste on Prohibition could be better used going after the Islamic nutters. G. Bush post 9/11 wanted to put 1/2 the FBI drug squad into counter terrorism. The bureaucracy vetoed that move. Maybe it is time for the change.
It might be good to keep an eye on heavy alcohol and drug users. But not for the usual reasons. To get them to come forward voluntarily you have to call off the dogs. Besides - how can you make pot prohibition work when 58% (and rising) of Americans are against it? It couldn't work when only 12% were against it.

MadCow is one of my favorite sites for the study of the CIA's contribution to the drug smuggling racket.
The movie "Air America" is pretty good on the subject as well. Also McCoy, "The Politics of Heroin in SE Asia" - available for free on the www. The Brits used drug prohibition to finance its empire. We inherited the racket.

Dubbed the “jihadist’s drug,” Captagon is rapidly flooding the Middle East and is said to be fueling the bloody conflict in Syria. French media recently reported that the Paris attackers may have taken the drug.
...
In Mortada’s documentary, men in Beirut are shown crushing the pills and chopping them into lines. They describe the effects as “better than cocaine” and “really strong and like morphine — for really strong pains.” Their experience points to why Captagon has become the drug of choice for some Syrian fighters.
“There was no fear anymore after I took Captagon,” one ex-fighter said.
“It stops you feeling anything, you know? It makes you numb, numb,” said another, who described the first time he took the drug as making him feel physically fit.
“If there were 10 people in front of you, you could catch them and kill them. You’re awake all the time,” he said.
As if they weren't insane enough...

In addition to his need for pot, The New York Times reported that Dear posted an online personal ad seeking women in North Carolina interested in bondage and sadomasochistic sex, and sought companions in the Asheville, North Carolina area "with whom he could smoke marijuana." That was before he moved to Colorado.
Dear was also a visitor to a marijuana website, Cannabis.com, where he offered his views about AIDS, hurricanes, and the religious "end times"--views that reflect the rantings of a paranoid mind heavily influenced by marijuana.

Some may call it synthetic marijuana, but this new chemical concoction sweeping the nation is more potent than the drug it is named for, often causing hallucinations, rapid heartbeats and seizures. It can also be deadly.
