Cop Avoids Charges in Pot Brownie Caper

foxnews.com — "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. The department's investigation began with a 911 call from Sanchez's home on April 21, 2006. On a 5-minute tape of the call

      you HAVE to listen to the 911 call, it makes the story
    • 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.

    • aragon127, on 10/12/2007, -18/+3You can actually overdoes on marijuana. It would just take about 10x your body weight in weed in a short amount of time. That would be some brownie.

      I can't see how this is such a big deal when you see police beating suspects or protesters on a daily basis and they don't even get reprimanded.
    • 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.

Some popcorn, red popcorn, graham crackers, graham crackers with marshmallows, the little marshmallows and little chocolate bars and we can make s'mores, man.

    • 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?
    • LogicBomB, on 10/11/2007, -5/+7Overdose = over a safe dosage. Under your definition, you could OD on computer games if someone says you should only play 1 hour a day. Or OD on milk if the recommended amount is 2 glasses a day.

      And just for the record, you CAN OD on the THC in weed but you essentially need to extract the THC and take it in a next-to-pure form to overload your canibaniod receptors. This is just not possible by smoking or eating.

      Yes, occasionally you might find people lacing weed as well, but more than likely it would be a street dealer or someone else who finds it less expensive to lace cheap weed with something stronger rather than buy/sell the good stuff. Same happens with mushrooms - take ***** mushrooms, lace with sheap lsd, sell. The problem against this argument is that (around here) almost 100% of people who do weed buy from a network of friends. "I know a guy who knows a guy who grows it" kind of situation. It's easier to just grow a plant or two and sell it to friends than go through the trouble of finding something to lace cheap stuff with.

      And I'm not sure why movies portray brownies so commonly. Ever look into making them? They are almost prohibitively expensive except for that very rare occasion/party with friends. You sure as hell don't give them away.
    • 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.

      No wonder he's a cop. Man that is priceless.
    • Absinthminded64, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Ewww! Pot brownies with capers? Someone should go to jail!
    • 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.
    • Arahka, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1I have the feeling this guy just tossed all the pot in brownies without sauteeing (sp?) it in butter first considering his obvious inexperience with the drug. His high was probably all in his head the whole time and he got all freaked out and paranoid. Reminds me of something a cousin of mine did after smoking oregano when he was 13, although he didn't call the cops on himself
    • 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.

    Nah.

    Possible to be so damn high you honestly believe you'll never come down. Ever.

    Very Yes.
    • 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!")
    • socokoolaid, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Ive heard many times that if you eat pot it becomes overwhelming and dangerous very easily. We had a shop teacher that got tricked with a plate of pot brownies and ended up going to the hospital freaked out.
    • WiseWeasel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1At worse, you become incapacitated, and you get a drop in blood pressure that makes you lay down and makes your field of vision go dark, with some possible temporal distortion (tracers). You can wait it out on your couch or in the ER, but either way, the treatment is time (or something that will raise your blood pressure - like salty and sweet foods). Mixing weed with alcohol in high doses can also cause a drop in blood pressure, with similar results.
    • sibhod, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1"Ive heard many times that if you eat pot it becomes overwhelming and dangerous very easily."

      It can be a lot more intense when eaten, and also is a slower build. If I was tricked into eating some and didn't know I would freak the ***** out too. If you don't expect to be ***** up, you will think something is seriously wrong.

    • 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.

      If anyone hasn't listened to the audio, listen to it. This guy is a real dumbass. The dispatcher pretty much didn't believe that he could have possibly had too much weed. He also lied several times. Then, he asked what the score was on the Redwings game. (to make sure it wasn't a hallucination, he said - after the dispatcher couldn't make sense of the question.)

      There's no way this idiot should ever be in any position of authority for anything.

    Here's a math problem for you:
    Bob has one bag of marijuana that he intends to sell. The marijuana Bob has is not of very good quality, and is only worth $10. To better his product, Bob purchases "Drug A" which is valued at $20/gram, and proceeds to mix "Drug A" into the marijuana. Now, Bob then sells the bag for "X" dollars, but neglected to tell the buyer that "Drug A" was mixed into the marijuana. Find for "X."
    • 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!!!
    • 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.

    • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    • PhilLesh69, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I'm sure if you go down to a street corner drug market, you might find bug spray or other ***** on the brick weed. Either it was from when it was grown, or some dumbass petty street dealer is trying to make weak ditch weed cause some form of buzz.

      This could also be myth, but I've heard stories about cops mixing other seized drugs and spraying pot with it, and then giving it to informants to just be dicks or to create the fear that weed is laced all the time, or whatever.

      Anyone remember the fear campaign in the 80's where they sent school kids home with brochures claiming that drug dealers were targetting small children with LSD laced stickers of mickey mouse, etc? Turned out the school systems were suckers and they fell for a hoax.

  • t0rment, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2In high doses, marijuana can produce panic attacks, one of the primary symptoms being feelings of dying. I've seen it happen to a lot of uninformed friends; just gotta chill, stay calm, and ride it out.
  • CMOSLogic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2How pathetic they GET AWAY WITH THAT.
  • nerdtek, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Mkay, drugs are bad, , mkay!
  • 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 *****.

  • Technopundit, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1"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,"
    ... somehow, that seems like an overstatement.
  • Jonsblckhwk, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Send an email to the michigan states attorney general and tell him to prosecute this guy and his wife and tell him that Police Cmdr. Jeff Geisinger needs to be relieved of his duties. If he cannot uphold the law he has no place as the commanding officer.

    • jarjarjanks, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Everyone thinks its funny and it is, but the sad part is that no charges were brought against him. He got away with it, scott free. How many people do you think this guy has busted for pot? No police officer is above the law, especially not this idiot. This guy needs to go down.
  • gwheeln, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0Sad but true, our delicious product does get laced, although it's rare. I know a guy who used to lace, and have encountered it twice (that I could tell). The cheap and easy method to lace: formaldehyde. Nasty. That does not mean the popo had laced goods. When we ingest ganja, it gets processed by our liver, which greatly enhances the psychoactive properties of THC. One time I witnessed an experienced stoner eat 1 cookie and was ready to call 911 a couple hours later. He would have dialed if no one supported and calmed him. To this day he believes it was laced, which is false. And cookies or brownies too expensive? For those that cultivate, its all about using the leaves that are too big for the nug - make some butter and hold on.
  • hellotyler, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Nobody else thinks this guy should be prosecuted ? Also I call complete ***** on your story gwheeln because Formeldyhide is not psychoactive and it would actually make you very sick if you 'laced' anything with it. PCP on the other hand would not be economical to lace your drugs with because it costs just as much as they drugs you are selling! Yeah, here let me cut my profits in half. It doesn't make economic sense. If anything you would charge more. I know the media likes to call PCP formeldehyde, but it's NOT! Just read up on the actual chemistry and action in the brain.
  • gwheeln, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1This cop should be prosecuted and made an example of. We should all correspond to the info given by Jonsblckhwk. hellotyler - I agree it would be stupid to lace herb with PCP, in fact some are willing to pay a premium if laced with PCP. I never claimed formaldehyde to be psychoactive. Lacing with formaldehyde causes anoxia and psychomotor retardation when smoked. An inexperienced smoker using dirty weed may relate the nauseous feeling with being high. While it is rarely used for adding weight, it is more commonly used on outdoor crops as a fungicide and pesticide. Some just use straight pesticides. This is why it is important to know your source. Get familiar with Erowid's Vault. It happens.
  • PhilLesh69, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1"time is going by really slowly"

    This guy is a fool. He should not only be arrested, but he should be given an IQ test to see if he needs long term care. They have homes with special care for people this stupid.

    Imagine if he had taken LSD! He'd have given himself a heart attack or jumped out a window or something. People this uptight and stupid shouldn't use mind altering substances. They're already on a thin line as it is.

  • hellotyler, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Ok, i'll agree with you that it can be an adulterant/pesticide but I think we are on the same page that nobody 'laces' their weed with PCP or dips cigarettes into it and lets them dry. They do that with PCP.
  • br549, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1The bonehead believed what he read on digg about marijuana being so good...he figured it would calm his nerves, cure his cancer, stop his migraines, cure hos impotence, make him smart (it did didn't it!), and make him a better driver!
  • MexiNig, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1***** HIGH-LARIOUS.....

    pot brownies take forever to kick in. My friends always eat like ten, then become lethargic for the next couple days (and wonder why)...

    what a derf...
