[Grace:] Good evening, I`m Nancy Grace. I want to thank you for being with us. Bombshell tonight, live, upscale Denver. Daddy guns down Mommy after Daddy downs a marijuana cookie and goes out of his mind, Mommy shot dead in front of her three children after Mommy desperately pleading with 911 to save her life. This as the first pot vending machine hits the market. Incredible! Pat Lalama, correspondent, Investigation Discovery, before I get to the pot vending machine, this mom shot dead in front of her three children. Now, apparently, the father eats a marijuana cookie or brownie. What happened?
[Pat Lalama, Investigation Discovery:] Well, first let me say this is a shock to everyone who knows him. They were all
[Grace:] The children devastated. Can you even imagine? Suddenly, your father goes out of his gourd and starts talking crazy. The mom, hysterical, calls 911. It gets worse and worse and worse. She`s on the phone with 911 almost 15 minutes, begging. The children see their mother gunned down in front of their eyes. Take a listen to this.
[Unidentified Male:] We need an ambulance. Code 10 for party down. We`re going to need homicide.
[Unidentified Female:] The wife on an open line
[Grace:] So you know what? I`m going to go straight out to our experts. Joining me, Brad Lamm, addiction specialist and founder of Breathe Life Healing Centers.
[Brad Lamm, Addiction Specialist:] Hey, Nancy.
[Grace:] Also with me, Norm Kent, president of NORML, National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. You know, Norm Kent, you and I have gone around and around about this, and you keep telling me that marijuana, if anything, makes you mellow and laid back. So why does this guy go on a rampage and murder his wife? They had no marital problems. They weren`t talking about divorce. Nobody`s having an affair. He eats a marijuana cookie or brownie, and he goes berserk and guns her down, Norm Kent.
[Norm Kent, Norml:] Well, I`ll give you this, Nancy. Number one, marijuana is not and it`s scientifically proven a hallucinogen. But I will tell you that marijuana-infused chocolates or marijuana-infused food can be a little bit stronger than people reasonably suspect. However, I think whatever made this madman kill his wife...
[Grace:] He was not a madman...
[Kent:] ... was not marijuana.
[Lamm:] And Nancy Nancy...
[Grace:] No! That`s not true! That`s not true! Hold on, Brad. I`m going to come straight to you. Pat Lalama, before he ingested it says marijuana cookie. Maybe it was a marijuana brownie. But before he ingested that, everything was fine. Like you had pointed out, they were at a soccer game about 72 hours before that very loving, responsible, held down a job, three boy, boys in school, no problems. He eats a marijuana brownie and goes berserk.
[Lalama:] Nancy, so many cases we use the term it was just the perfect family, but it really feels that it`s not the cliche in this case. Friends say this was as stable as you can get, that this father was even a religious man, very devoted to his children. So madman I beg to differ!
[Grace:] OK, back to Lamm and Kent. What were you saying, Brad?
[Lamm:] Nancy Nancy, Norm says that there`s really no signs that shows that pot THC is the active ingredient in pot will cause a person to go crazy. The truth is this, that it really does the science is behind us that it does cause delusions and paranoia in people that it triggers in this way. So if you don`t have a problem with pot, then this isn`t it`s not going to affect you this way. But THC is a very powerful drug. And for many people, it will have a very negative impact in their life. And it`s another heart-breaking tragedy about the disease of addiction, Norm Kent.
[Grace:] Kent?
[Lamm:] But Brad, 30 million Americans use pot and don`t grab a gun and shoot their wife. You know what, Norm? And that`s... And that`s awesome. That`s an awesome story, and you know, for a person who`s not addicted, a glass of wine with dinner or some brandy on the weekend is an awesome part of their life. But for a person who`s addicted, it`s a problem. So you`re messaging that it`s no big deal does a lot of families a disservice, and it takes them to the vending machine, it takes them to the pot store, and it tells their kids that it`s not a big deal, and it is. Addiction is a progressive, often fatal disease, Norm.
[Kent:] But the message...
[Grace:] OK, Norm...
[Kent:] ... of Brad Lamm, an addictionologist, is that the irresponsible minority should govern...
[Lamm:] It`s not about responsibility, Norm.
[Kent:] ... the responsible and trusting majority.
[Lamm:] See, that`s where you get it so wrong. It`s not about using it responsibly. If you`re a person prone to addiction and you start using pot, you will get sick. And then we see what happens.
[Grace:] OK, guys, hold on one moment. Norm Kent joining me, who wants marijuana legalized across the country, Brad Lamm, addiction specialist, founder of Breathe Life Healing Centers. Norm, I mean, just from strictly a legal point of view, you`re way, way out of you`re way out in the weeds. You`re off the course because what you`re saying is, Hey, it`s just one mom. You know, 30 million people do it, which I`m not sure about that, but you`re saying 30 million people do it. And this is just one mother. It`s just three kids that saw her head blow up like a pumpkin in front of them. So hey, 1 out of 30 million, no problem. Is that really what you`re saying?
[Kent:] Nancy, what I`m saying is we don`t want to see 30 million people going to jail because they consume marijuana...
[Grace:] That`s not what I said!
[Kent:] ... that society can do a better job. Sure, it is.
[Grace:] That`s not what I said! This guy ate a marijuana cookie, according to police, he starts hallucinating and goes berserk. Pat Lalama, help me out. Tell me what happened.
[Lalama:] Well, OK, this man is she`s on the phone. He`s out of his mind. This is a man who has no known history of being out of his mind, no criminal record, one DUI a long time ago, but nothing! And Nancy, let me point out to you that now that the floodgates have opened in Colorado, they`re looking at another case of a student, whom I believe just a few months ago did pot and jumped to his death. It was a suicide right after ingesting marijuana. This is a floodgate of potential problems and criminality here!
[Grace:] Yes, I read about that. He was a young student. OK, take a listen to what the shooter this is the father, the husband that guns down his wife while he`s hallucinating after pot. This is what the brother had to say.
[Unidentified Male:] Yes, this is it`s overwhelming. My heart goes out to those three boys and Kris`s family. Was he struggling with any mental health issues? Not that I know of. I know that that wasn`t Richard. Let`s just say that. I hope I hope there`s some answers that come out about this. This is a really terrible thing.
[Grace:] OK. And this, at the time we learn the first marijuana vending machine is out there? What is that, Michael Christian? OK, how does that work, Pat Lalama?
[Lalama:] I wish I knew. The way that I think that it works is that you can just simply use it like you can use any kind of machine to get, you know, a can of Coke. The problem that they`re having, though, right now, Nancy, is the regulation, the amount that they`re putting in the cookies and the edibles...
[Grace:] But how does the machine figure out if you`re old enough to get marijuana? How does the machine do that? Michael Christian, how does it work?
[Christian:] As Pat says, they`re trying to work that out. You know, you don`t see beer, for example, or liquor being sold in these kind of machines, so how are they going to do it with marijuana?
[Grace:] Well, wait a minute, guys.
[Christian:] They`re still trying to work that out.
[Grace:] Isn`t it something like this, a driver`s license? Doesn`t it match you up with your driver`s license? It`s got the technology to look at your license and then match it up to your face. So OK, Brad Lamm, you know what? You were telling me just the other night off camera about a young Ivy Leaguer who is now in one of your centers.
[Lamm:] Yes.
[Grace:] He`s lost everything. I mean, he fights like H-E-double-L to get into this nice Ivy League school. His parents sacrifice everything. And he gets addicted to pot. Now it`s all down the tubes. Now he can get it at a vending machine?
[Lamm:] And it`s so scary for families because they have this family has two kids. One smokes it with impunity and one smokes it and gets paranoid and delusional and sick and drops out and loses everything. So for folks that really wonder, Why is my kid getting affected in a negative way with pot, listen to what you hear and look at the warning signs and wake up. That`s the pot problem.
[Grace:] So Pat Lalama, what about the dad that guns down Mom? Where is he? Is he behind bars? Is he on bail? Who has the three little boys? I mean, Mom is shot dead in front of the children!
[Lamm:] Family have the children. He`s being held he was due in court today. Can I just throw in one quick thing, Nancy? Wasn`t there a report out in just the last couple of days of definitive proof that pot causes brain damage? I just wanted to throw that in there. As for the father, he was due in court today, and by the way, Nancy, has apparently confessed to police that he did, in fact, kill his wife.
[Grace:] You know, what a mind-blowing scenario. This guy, a loving father, innocently thinks it`s not going to hurt him, eats a marijuana cookie, starts hallucinating, goes and gets the gun out of a locked cabinet, hallucinating, guns down his wife of many years, the mother of their three children, completely out of his mind. Now he`s sitting in jail, Mommy`s dead, and the three children have neither a mother nor a father. Everybody, when we get back, remember when pop sensation Britney Spears made headlines driving with her toddlers in her lap, no seatbelts? Well, it happens again. Tonight, we go live to Michigan. Caught on tape, a female kidnapper pulls the same stunt.
[Unidentified Female:] She literally put not just herself and that child in danger but those officers that were chasing and the other pedestrians that were on the roadway.
[Grace:] And then later, a Texas mother traumatized after she learns a creepy burglar in her home staring at her baby in the cradle! Tonight, he is caught on tape. Manhunt!
