Comments on: Dr. Phil focuses on cannabis, ignores antidepressants, in Omaha Mall Shooting http://stash.norml.org/dr-phil-focuses-on-cannabis-ignores-antidepressants-in-omaha-mall-shooting The Growing Truth About Cannabis Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:08:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: blazer http://stash.norml.org/dr-phil-focuses-on-cannabis-ignores-antidepressants-in-omaha-mall-shooting/comment-page-1#comment-4694 blazer Fri, 30 Jan 2009 00:55:28 +0000 http://stash.norml.org/?p=2174#comment-4694 I think its sad how kids can go there whole life misunderstood and can blame a harmless drug like weed on a someones personal problems. Especially to put them on an anti-depressant that can make them feel worthless and worriful. People like Dr. Phil act like the stereotypical irresponsible parents that cant just get to know their child and make them feel like they are worth something. I think a qualified psyciatrist would teach the child to work out their social skills when they are going through puberty and to let them know that people care for them. I think if people cared more for each other and cared less about commercializing an episode and making the child feel like a fuck-up; there would be no shootings in the world. Notice how most of the shootings appear where the person feels stressed out. I think the world should stop criticizing the herb and care for one another and be a helpful friend. sincerely, a pot head teen I think its sad how kids can go there whole life misunderstood and can blame a harmless drug like weed on a someones personal problems.

They talked about the teen's drug use but treated it as a symptom rather than a cause to his violence. But I knew deep down that someone would pick out the cannabis use and ignore the molestation, the lack of a father figure, alcohol abuse, use of anti-depressants and anti-psychotics, and violent outbursts as a kid. I think every school shooting from Columbine to Virginia Tech can be connected by the perpetrator's use of anti-depressants. It is quite scary.

Dr. Phil is an ignorant quack. My wife and I saw an episode where a wacko fundamentalist family were concerned about their adult daughter's lifestyle and marijuana use. They asked the girl to submit to a drug test, she obliged and fully admitted that she used cannabis regularly. They trotted out quacks in lab coats who's saliva test failed, I laughed, and the piss test came back positive for marijuana only. Dr. Phil promised her "help after the show" when he should have kicked the family of the stage and told them to mind their own f-ing business. Anti-depressants and anti-psychotics are remarkably ineffective. To make matters worse their "black box" warnings say that patients can experience suicidal and homicidal ideation. Dr. Phil continues to ignore these warnings and blame only cannabis. The Psychwatch blog does an excellent job documenting the dangers of psychoactive pharmaceuticals. http://psychwatch.blogspot.com/ I’ve gone to a tenth level of pissoffedness today.
