During that psychotic break, she stabbed O’Melia multiple times, eventually killing him. She also stabbed herself repeatedly, officials said.
The next morning, officers arrived at the apartment to find O’Melia in a pool of blood and Spejcher screaming hysterically while still holding a knife in her hands. As officers tried to disarm her, Spejcher plunged the knife into her neck, authorities said.
This seems like the right move to me. If you drink alcohol, you know that you’ll be impaired driving and should be held accountable. When you smoke pot, you don’t expect that you’ll stab yourself in the neck. She truly seems to be a victim just as much as the guy, even if his outcome was ultimately worse.
So they’re saying that taking a couple of bong hits made this girl stab someone 108 times and try to kill herself? Seems like she may have bigger issues than just “marijuana induced psychosis”… I’ve taken plenty of bong hits in my life and never stabbed anyone nor seen anyone else try to do so. It sounds like either that weed was laced with PCP or she has some other serious psychological issues. Either way she probably shouldn’t just be walking away from this free and clear…
Weed increases risk for psychosis. Just because it did not happen to you or anyone you know isn’t relevant here. The risk seems to be higher for higher THC content.
