- physphd, on 10/12/2007, -3/+71I never cease to be underwhelmed.
Today's example: a cop that doesn't know it is impossible to overdose on cannabis. - inv1c7u5, on 10/12/2007, -4/+59“I think we’re dying,” he said. “We made brownies and I think we’re dead, I really do.”
No, mr. po-po.
You're high. - asdfasdf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+44“I think we’re dying,” he said. “We made brownies and I think we’re dead, I really do.”
Marijuana has never killed anyone. This guy's a rookie. He probably ate a brownie, waited, felt nothing, and then ate more, which is one of the main reasons smoking is better than oral-THC. The dosage is easier to control. Take a hit, wait a minute or two and then you have the option of choosing to take another if you're not content with your newfound consciousness.
Pot is stronger now than it was N years ago is a stupid argument. For example, arguing about the strength of alcohol sold isn't a valid argument unless you're assuming that the average user will drink N fluid ounces ignoring the alcohol-per-volume. Meaning, somebody who drinks a glass of wine, will also drink a glass of whiskey or 120-proof Everclear. Obviously this is not the case.
The same can be said about pot, and is the reason the 'pot is now stronger' argument isn't valid. Instead of smoking two joints of garbage brickweed, one only needs a hit or two of a potent strain.
Stronger pot -> less required to get high -> less required to smuggle or be in possession of -> more profit.
During the alcohol prohibition, the only thing available was hard liquor. Why? because it would be stupid to waste smuggling-estate carrying water. - Beanbot, on 10/12/2007, -4/+47Possible to overdose on cannabis?
Nah.
Possible to be so damn high you honestly believe you'll never come down. Ever.
Very Yes. - scrubadub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+42@zakangelle
where's the audio?

you HAVE to listen to the 911 call, it makes the story - Hoov, on 10/12/2007, -1/+43@ ...---...
Hello, 911? I need 100 CCs of Cheetos, stat! Oh, and "get some sour cream and onion chips with some dip, man, some beef jerky, some peanut butter. Get some Häagen-Dazs ice cream bars, a whole lot, make sure chocolate, gotta have chocolate, man. Some popcorn, red popcorn, graham crackers, graham crackers with marshmallows, the little marshmallows and little chocolate bars and we can make s'mores, man. Also, celery, grape jelly, Cap'n Crunch with the little Crunch berries, pizzas. We need two big pizzas, man, everything on 'em, with water, whole lotta water, and Funyons." - ...---..., on 10/12/2007, -0/+37Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!
"Hi - dispatcher? I'm calling to report myself dead. Please send cruisers immediately. Oh, also... I can't feel my face..." - osbjmg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+36Yet another misinformed user - they guy has been taught to demonize pot and goes so far as to think he OD'd! Have some fun man, we know it can make you paranoid, but damn, calling 911?
It's also very lame that he tried to sell his wife out before he admitted to it, very low. - benitojuarez, on 10/12/2007, -1/+30AND he blamed it on his wife. What a ***** scumbag.
- benitojuarez, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28I don't agree with sending anyone to jail over weed....except for cops. Cops should be dealt with 10 times as harsh than the average person arrested for weed.
Thats ***** that he just lost his job. If that had been any one of you guys youd be in jail right now and calling around for someone to bail you out. - spyrochaete, on 10/11/2007, -1/+27"In stupid defense of the "I'm dead" part, in all actuality pot is often laced with harder drugs"
Typical non-smoker comment. Is "all actuality" your pet name for total fantasy? Why would a drug dealer increase his costs by "lacing" his product with much more expensive filler? If anything, a dealer will spray it with water to increase the weight.
- Hmm, which dealer should I buy my pot from today? Freddy's made my pupils huge and caused me to hump my stuffed animals, but Harry's made me see radioactive monkeys riding flying cactus jets for 7 hours. - rebopper, on 10/11/2007, -0/+25"what's the score on the Redwings game?" "I just want to make sure I'm not hallucinating..."
LOL - burnstyle, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19i dont think i want cops like this to have control of any drugs period... legal or not...
i mean, try to imagine this man on coke - brklynmark, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14Now Officer Rabbit and I are going to stand here while the three of you smoke the whole bag.
- Ecowarrior, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Dude, where I live it's legal to grow but not sell.
*that's* the way to be doing things - baalzebub, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13legalize it!!!
or continue to be hypocrites!!! - arrogantprick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Hypocrites - if they would put you or I in jail for possession, why is he not in jail for stealing AND possession?
Have you seen "The Marijuanalogues"?
"I didn't always smoke marijuana. For years I was high on life, but eventually, I built up a tolerance."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QBiA12nZfo - jaredvolkl, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10"Time is moving sooo slow right now!" That's the best quote.
- clyde2801, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11I could see this guy pulling someone over: "Hey, sir, don't wanna bruise your mellow, but do you know how fast you...hey, are those Doritos?"
- Snakedal337, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Wow guilty much? If everyone called the police when they got stoned, the war on drugs would be extremly cost effective :)
- jimmiss, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Honestly, no big deal. When I first heard this I was like "WTF man, cops get away with anything!" Then I pictured some guy probably 24 with a bunch of dope in his car. Him and his wife get the idea in their head to try it, for the first time it seems, and get way too high. He's probably a good guy, just made a dumb mistake. Just the fact that he called 911 and told them what happened shows how "inexperienced in life" this person is. Although it also shows they actually believe that the system is there to protect people and therefore probably isn't an ***** cop.
Give the man a break. - benitojuarez, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Honestly Ive never heard of laced weed outside of scary cautionary tales unless it was done by the request of the buyer, wickie, snowcaps, etc. What you're describing happens with cocaine and heroin. Not weed though.
- bjohns, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9iceperson, please shut the ***** up. He was pointing out how much he freaked out on pot and merely made the connection that if the individual were to try coke, he would likely run into traffic in panic.
- sammcj2000, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9one word... "Sanchez"
- ZombyWoof78, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Wow everyone is now doing pot. That ***** must be good.
- leetdood, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7I started off in this article, thinking, this guy can't be all that bad, it can't be that necessary to make him resign.
Then I saw “I think we’re dying,” he said. “We made brownies and I think we’re dead, I really do.”.
Why are our cops this dumb? - hcharger, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7 It makes no difference whether this scum cop overdosed or not, he was involved in a criminal act and should be prosecuted just like a common person would. I imagine there would be a few detainees in jail who would welcome him in segregation instead of PC (protective custody). But alas, he's a officer of the law (a crooked one) and he definitely should have the charges dismissed against him because of the anxieties and stresses of his career and for the remote fact that he would get his sorry ass kicked if he went to jail. Funny, cops and important people never see prison, must be the pressure that makes society feel so sorry for them when they are led astray, or for heaven forbid, they get caught.
YEAH RIGHT! As Billy Jack said in 1974; "when the law breaks the law, then there is no law!" - bkleynbok, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7This is sooo stupid.
No wonder he's a cop. Man that is priceless. - hgb5150, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Another reason why cannabis should be legal, sold in stores and labeled with THC and CBD content, and a health warning: Cops will know just how strong the stuff they're stealing is when they shake down the storekeeper for a freebie.
The phone call is hilarious, it makes "Reno 911" look like a documentary. - Digi2112, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6See, another Hog making the rest of the pigs look bad =]
- Absinthminded64, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Ewww! Pot brownies with capers? Someone should go to jail!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6holy ***** could this guy be any more stupid?
- spyrochaete, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6X = 0, drug dealer = fictitious, somnabot = totally square.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Karma
- Aliarse, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7The best part about this story?
I really don't see his wife being with him too long. he tried putting all the blame on her for taking it out his car. You're SO gonna get owned now she knows this information.
FTP! - nerdtek, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Mkay, drugs are bad, , mkay!
- youngandwise, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6"If you're a cop and you're arresting people and you're confiscating the marijuana and keeping it yourself, that's bad. That's real bad," City Councilman Doug Thomas told the Detroit Free Press for a story Thursday.
"That's like apprehending a bank robber and keeping some of the money for yourself."
Technically, it's more like apprehending a gardener and keeping their plants - osbjmg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6No way buddy, this is the wrong idea. Why do people rely so much on the police to do things for them. The police are necessary because I want them to protect ME from idiots and account for people stealing MY property. If I am the culprit, then yes, this applies to me. I do not agree to allowing them to do whatever the current powers that be decide I can and cannot do, if it doesn't involve the safety or property of others - that is unacceptable.
- hikaruzero, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5@OGLD:
"You're wrong. It's very easy to overdose on cannabis, but impossible to die."
What exactly is overdosing, then? It's pretty much impossible to (unintentionally) take so large of a dose of cannabis that you are in any sort of danger (caused by the drug, not by your environment or you). In technical terms, that pretty much means any dose is a "safe dose," and therefore would not be an overdose.
Unless you have a better definition? - WilliamDavis, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5He also lied to the dispatcher, and stole the weed.
The rules are different for cops and politicians.
Pay attention. - AngryPunk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5All the people talking about laced weed have probably never smoked the stuff and if they have, not for very long. I've been smoking marijuana for over 10 years, and not one time have I ever gotten a bag laced with anything. It just doesn't make sense, all the drugs you can possibly lace it with are MUCH more expensive than the pot itself. Not to mention, even if you did get some laced ***** by chance (which never happens), it would be fairly easy to tell just by looking at it (hey, whats all this white powder on my nugs?). I remember reading a story a few years ago that proved this was a myth, some study collected street samples from around the country and tested them...none of the samples came back as anything other than regular weed.
- mcraigw, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I don't hate police officers. Generally I appreciate and respect them.
It does take a certain personality type to want to become a police officer though. It seems to me that anyone that wants to become a police officer (or a politician) should be banned from ever being one.
They should be selected from among the general population of law - abiding citizens and assigned to the position for a limited time, and guaranteed their original job back when the assignment is over. - ZombyWoof78, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Thats why some people grow their own. Also, if it were legal and the government were to regulate it then people would not have to worry about Drug A. Because everyone knows that Drug A will ***** You Up!!!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4If this person was intelligent, they would have not become a law enforcement official in the first place. It takes a 'special' kind of person to want to becoming a cop. God, I ***** hate the pigs.
- mcraigw, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3
Did you ever see the movie "Reefer Madness"? In it, one guy shares a joint with half a dozen others and then goes home to ax murder his family. Man that musta been some good stuff. You can't get pot like that anymore...
"Reefer Madness" was originally a documentary, made in 1936. Probably produced by one of Al Gore's ancestors -- it may have won an Oscar. - zakangelle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Where's the audio?!
- drexl, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Hahahahahahahaha! “I think we’re dying,” he said. “We made brownies and I think we’re dead, I really do.” Hahahahahahahaha!(breath)hahahahahahahaha(hyperventalation)ahahaha-ah-ha-ha!
OMFG! I had to read that twice because I was in tears the first time. I thought this was a joke! Oh, dear baby Jesus that is some funny *****. - mcraigw, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3
What does "lofl" mean again? - wageslaven, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Ive a couple friends who tried to make brownies for the first time whilst in Jamaca. The jamacian isnt particularily good (according to these experienced users), but they were enjoying it just fine. one of them says "hey, lets make brownies - its too expensive to do at home". So they both get RIGHT off their heads... moral of the story? always treat recreational drugs with respect. learn them, dont just jump in like irresponsible dipwits (like this cop).
Im wondering if the cop had the sense to -try- his supply before he gulped down a 1/4 oz w/ his wife...otherwise, he'd have known that it wasnt laced ("this is poison!") - sibhod, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2"In stupid defense of the "I'm dead" part, in all actuality pot is often laced with harder drugs. "
No, no, no! Try showing some proof, but good luck because this claim is *****.
A better defense of the "I'm dead" part, is just the fact that he was really ***** stoned. The first time I had pot brownies I thought i was dying too. I could feel all my internal organs individually. -
