The wealth of porn you can find online is staggering. The wealth of marijuana available is also plentiful. Some sites have good old fashion porn with a loose story line. And some have some extreme footage. Some goes for marijuana. Some strains offer that 60s groovy high. And some buds will put you in another dimension. Despite the two growing legal industries, they continue to struggle for general acceptance across the board. Two recent crimes involving porn and marijuana beg the question; can they drive you to kill?
Porn was the Case that They Gave Me
Most people who watch porn don’t do it for the compelling plot or stellar acting. They do it to get their rocks off and relax. But this wasn’t the case for Randy Green of central New York. Green claims that porn drove him to murder. He is currently in custody and facing 22 years to life after porn made him stab another man to death. Green reportedly became so violently enraged that he slit Ray Pike’s throat after seeing Pike having with a young girl in a porno. Pike, a true scumbag was a convicted sex offender and local church volunteer. Free Green anyone?
Stoned Cold Marijuana Murder
Richard Kirk from Denver, Colorado allegedly killed his wife after getting too stoned. The murder was back in 2014, but the YouTube channel The Young Turks covered the story due to its marijuana undertone. Not surprising that it happened in Denver, since marijuana is 100 percent legal by state law. Kirk claims that he was insane when he may or may not have killed his wife. The culprit Kirk notes it was the edible marijuana he ate. Edible marijuana is known for its potency, but to kill while stoned on it seems bizarre.
Right or Wrong?
Blaming porn and weed for murder seems like a shot in the dark for the defense in the case. That must mean that the evidence against both Green and Kirk is pretty strong. Green did overreact in the porn murder case, but in the end, there is one less convicted sex offender in the world. Kirk’s edible cannabis defense is just a plea for insanity to keep him from going to a federal maximum-security prison. The two cases do however set back both industries in terms of becoming mainstream.
