Trigger Warning — this story is not for the faint of heart, and deals with physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. Take this as a warning from someone that researches crime all the time — this story made my stomach a little queasy.

Roch Thériault was a Canadian cult leader that…

He thought he was talking to a crime boss…

The Brutal Murder of Linda LeFranc

Terrace is a small, quiet town in North Western British Columbia. Linda’s murder rocked the community of 11,000, and more than 20 years later, it still does.

This is my Golden Retriever, Cosmo. He's just about 2 years old, and he has been my shadow since I brought him home.

The poor guy though is scared of pretty well everything. Cosmo is not a small dog. If he decided that he wasn't going to back down and…

Is Weed Addicting?

They said that it was no big deal. You cant get addicted to weed, even mainstream media has made fun of people addicted to marijuana like it’s a joke

Don’t worry kid, you won't get addicted

It shouldn't have an effect on me like this. There isn't supposed to be any withdrawal from weed. Yet here I am, hands shaking because I know I don't have any more. Sweat starts to literally drip from my forehead as voices in my head go back and forth.
