JUDGE: CASE SHOWS MARIJUANA NOT HARMLESS
"I feel like no one can get me - I am a zombie. I have special powers
. nobody can kill me. ... They can shoot at me, but I still keep
goin'. I'm powerful and can see the future."
Script from a bad sci-fi movie? I only wish. This is a quote from a
youth charged with felonious assault with a firearm - a crime that
has become routine on my docket as I preside by Supreme Court
assignment in the Hamilton County Juvenile Court.
By his own admission this boy first used marijuana at age 12 and has
used regularly and heavily since that time - and even admits he was
able to access it while in court-ordered placements. He claims to
have a "secret method" to beat urine screens and considers himself
absolutely "addicted to weed."
