I've never seen that video, but it's pretty much infamous all over the world, and as a result i've discussed it with quite a few people recently, including a couple of people here at Cann.com

I'd never watch it. It would sicken and upset me, and I would gain nothing positive from the experience. I can possibly, maybe, kinda see how it would fascinate some people. To use Az as an example, he's watched it because death fascinates him.. but I think he said that, even though he's seen alot of that kind of stuff, he's only watched that particular video once because of the sheer brutality of it.

It's not really anything like watching a horror movie. A horror movie is something designed to scare us with the knowledge that at the end of the day the actors and actresses got up, take off their make up, and go home. A video of a real life murder is completely different. Fascinating to watch once or twice, perhaps, though I don't see it myself. But in my opinion there is something wrong with getting high and constantly watching a man having his head hacked off. It's the most perverse form of vouyerism I can imagine.

I'm sorry to say that about your friend, but I really disagree with that kind of thing, for obvious reasons. It can bring no good to the world, and I think that only a mentally subnormal person could get any pleasure from it.
