POT LIKELY ADDLED HER BRAIN

And they keep saying that pot is less harmful than alcohol.
 
MD. WOMAN GETS 5 YEARS FOR BRIDAL VEIL ATTACK

HAGERSTOWN, Md. -- A Maryland woman is going to prison for breaking into her neighbor's house wearing nothing but a bridal skirt and veil.
 
The woman testified at her trial that she was playing "dress up" with a friend’s daughter when she began hallucinating. She put on the wedding gown, but it was too small to pull up over her shoulders, she testified.
 
A judge sentenced 33-year-old Melissa Wagaman on Thursday to five years. A jury had convicted her of second-degree assault, fourth-degree burglary and reckless endangerment for the February attack that injured Aaron Parrott.
 
Wagaman testified at trial that a combination of cold medicine and marijuana apparently made her hallucinate that she was getting married and that her mother was locked in her neighbor's basement.
 
Wagaman broke a dining room window with her head, causing shattered glass to cut an artery in her neighbor's arm.
 
Wagaman apologized to the Parrotts during Thursday's hearing.
