The other day I watched a new episode of "Law and Order". I don't know if any of you caught this? A man who had been imprisoned for some years for selling cannabis gets out of jail and works in a market of some sort. Some joker breaks the window late at night and the ex-con follows him, only to be beaten to death by the window breaker. They find the guy who is a well to do and privileged young man. His defense is: strong dabs made him have a psychotic episode and so he was made temporarily insane by the drug. Hmmmn.... The show had welcome bits such as where the two cops assure some informant that he needn't run just for holding some weed, things are different now. The suffering of the ex-con's daughter is highlighted. But it kind of left open the possibility that the psychotic episode business could be true. The implications of that are not good, actually. It's even faintly reminiscent of Reefer Madness. Smoking dabs creates scary psycho... The show does not really come down on one side or the other. Leaves open the possibility that this is standard rich, (bigoted?) young kid goes berserk and blames cannabis. So I had a very mixed response to this show. What do you think?
