Pot Is A Hallucinogen That Lets Satan Devour You, Says Colorado GOP Rep. (VIDEO)
AUTHOR: RIKA CHRISTENSEN MAY 13, 2015 3:30 PM


Gordon Klingenschmitt, the supreme moron of the Colorado state legislature, is back on his radio show, now that Colorado’s latest legislative session has ended. His controversial statements have, in the past, angered even some of his fellow Republicans, but he’s one of those religious right-wingers that doesn’t seem to care. He’s upset about Colorado legalizing pot, because the hallucinations it causes are actually invitations for demons to possess users.

First off, even the National Institutes of Health say that pot itself does not cause hallucinations. They do list some undesirable side effects, which can include red eyes and dry mouth, and panic and paranoia. Those last two are more common in first-time users, and people who already have a psychiatric illness.

It doesn’t list hallucinations, though. What it does say is that pot is sometimes cut with other drugs that do cause hallucinations. That’s likely where the myth that people on pot hallucinate comes from. The problem, though, is that spreading that myth in the name of morality is just flat-out stupid and wrong. Klingenschmitt described so-called pot hallucinations this way, according to Right Wing Watch:

“When you begin hallucinating, I’m told, and you begin seeing these images, do you think that’s coming from the spirit of God? No. You’re having apparitions and you are seeing and interacting with and welcoming to rule your heart a demonic spirit of drunkenness. That’s not recreational. It’s evil."

1. and a "Klingenschmitt" is the Devil's dingleberry

[BeyondGeography]

2. Sounds like the quality really has improved

[rurallib]

3. If he feels that way about pot, I bet he is really death on something truly dangerous

like alcohol or even nicotine

[tridim]

4. Now please excuse me, I need to take my painkillers and xanax washed down with three cocktails.

Honestly I don't even know why people bother pointing out that Republicans are idiots. They all are, all the time.

5. Then my guy is hosing me. All I get is relaxation and pain relief

It sounds like he's talking about that synthetic shit that causes Florida Man to strip naked, rob a McD's, and screw a tree.

6. I have had mild hallucinations once.

This was after splitting 14 bowls of the strongest indica I've ever had. I was watching a music video where there was this super subtle cloud-animation on a static picture of a tree in a sunset. After 6 minutes of watching the clouds move in the background, I looked at my friend and asked if the clouds were moving, as the animation was getting harder to see. He said they weren't, and never had been

7. this guy isn't even a fungus

8. Does he think all hallucinations come from Satan?

Like, does he think schizophrenics are demonically possessed? Is he going to cut their medical assistance in favor of exorcisms? He is completely unqualified to hold any kind of office.

9. Well that would explain why I was just seeing things.

I just went for a jog, and daily high intensity training in the forest. I swear I was seeing trees.

I think the days of fear mongering (at least in the cannabis department) have concluded. Only a few frightening individuals are still dunking witches. No wonder they don't believe in evolution. When one doesn't evolve...

10. Hail Satan
