Alex Jones tells jury his marijuana has gotten too strong and says George Soros is to blame

Jones talks about marijuana use says he tests it yearly to "monitor its strength" says it's too strong now, blames George Soros for that.


Elsewhere in his testimony, Jones told the jury that eating large bowls of chili had adverse affects on his ability to remember things, although he said that he made sure to not eat a large bowl of chili before appearing in court on Thursday.

Maybe they were joking, but it was passed along as real gossip on the Stephanie Miller Show.

Over-smoked, yes; shouldn't have had it on top of the booze, yes; "kicks like a mule," yes; but never once heard, "My weed is too strong!"

With all his vein-popping rages, I figure Alex Jones is flying on some chemistry that's a bit more heart-attack-y rather than respiratory-collaps-y.

sorry to burst your bubble.

i want to keep THC <20%, and avoid Sativa-dominant strains. even with Indicas, i prefer it down closer to 10-12%. high THC leads me to anxiety and unhealthy levels of introspection.

thank Christ i live in an enlightened state where i can find this level of specificity, and don't have to buy whatever comes down the pike.

Not fun at all.

No more for me since. Crippling anxiety. Room spins. Nausea.

Only booze since. And a gram of morphine once in the ER. Now that was good, nay great. No more narcotics for me.

find yourself some high-CBD weed, which typically has low- or no- THC. no anxiety, just help with aches & pains & nausea & appetite.

Like you said, one of the benefits of legalization is being able to tailor the experience and know what you're getting.

Between bikers lacing it with angel dust and our own government spraying Mexico with Paraquot and all. Who knows what you smoked for a bad high back then. YMMV.

If you smoke too much before getting a good tolerance built up that can happen. It's commonly called 'greening out'. It happened to me way back when I was a novice cannabis smoker and it didn't cause me to quit. I just realized that I had to take it a bit slower and respect the herb.

eating chili probably does have an adverse effect as he flushes his brains down the toilet.

But he won't blame his own bizarre behavior. Instead he will point the finger at Hillary Clinton or George Soros or some angry voice he hears in his head. Anyone but himself

Normally I would feel sad to see a parent lose custody of their kids. But if we pitch in and keep him stocked with big bowls of chili he won't even remember he has kids.
