The court heard cannabis-induced psychosis, not a major mental disorder, spurred the brutal death of 67-year-old John Kehl by his then 31-year-old son Adam.<\/p>\n

Adam Kehl voluntarily entered a plea of guilty to manslaughter in front of The Honourable Michelle Fuest in Barrie court on Nov. 22 who called the incident “horrifying and unusually brutal.”<\/p>\n

The following (not publicly reported) heinous drug-induced behaviour happened in Pueblo, Colorado<\/strong> earlier November 2019<\/p>\n

A young man who used a cannabis wax <\/strong>and then experienced an excited delirium<\/strong> episode in which he ran in on coming traffic swinging a metal rod at cars.  He was tazed and tackled by police and came in with 3 police officers and 5 paramedics working to hold him down.  Prior to arrival EMS had given him 50 mg of diphenhydramine, 5 mg of Haldol, and 2 mg of Versed and he continued to be that combative.  On arrival here he took all of the aforementioned personnel plus 3 of our security officers <\/strong>to hold and move him to the bed and hold him down.  I gave 10 mg of Versed with plans to likely need to intubate him.  He became more relaxed and calm following, never required intubation.  UDS only positive for cannabis<\/strong>.  He developed rhabdo<\/strong> and was admitted to the peds service for this following.<\/p>\n

Patient was 17 years old<\/p>\n

\u201cHigh potency\u201d is typically 10-12% THC.  That simply does not exist in Colorado.  It\u2019s too weak.<\/em><\/p>\n

Our kids have access to 17-20% THC easily to smoke as well as concentrates pushing 40-60% THC as well as the wax\/shatters which are 90%+ THC.  Easily and readily available to adolescents in Colorado.<\/em><\/p>\n

We are at a tipping point in the US with our kids using these products.<\/em><\/p>\n
