Locked up for three joints!!?

[patlpp]

Reason I had em was that I don't smoke in my house (cigs or pot) out of courtesy to the other tenants in my building. I go to my my driveway and fire up one in the car when I'm so inclined, then go back inside and eat everything in sight usually lol. so usually ill have a bowl or joint or roach or two on me usually.

Not that I drive around obliviously stoned running down people, or even drive badly in general.

And my brake light was NOT out. they just use that as an excuse to pull you, then they say you're acting nervously for pc to search your car. And if your give em shit they'll arrest you for resisting, (I've seen this firsthand) The cops around here are notorious for their racism and general corruption, i'm more afraid of the cops around here than any criminals I may run into (i don't live in a "great" neighborhood) The people around here are by no means bad, just usually a different color than white.

On top of that, most cops have some type of inferiority complex. So now that they've got a piece of tin on their shirt, a gun, pepper-spray and 4000 of their buddies for backup they're suddenly real badasses. they talk to you like you're an uneducated piece of shit, or they lecture you like they're your goddam mother or something. this dude was a fresh rookie too, just dying to arrest anyone he can.

I think your thread was stolen and I apologize. I really respect how you man up to shit. Good luck my man

what i am saying is SOBER people get into accidents as well so there is way you can say pot caused the accident.

why is this so hard to understand?

I value my clean record & auto insurance rates. God forbid I were to ever cause an accident I better be sober. The last thing I need is marijuana to land me in jail for DWI/DUI

you don't need to repeat yourself, plz don't try to make me look dumb...

I'm not hating fdd, but are you in all honesty comparing coffee and cigarettes w cannabis? I'm sure there are accidents caused by too much or too little caffeine or nicotine, or by couch medicine, but do you really believe that these 3 (coffee, cigs, cough med.) are comparable to cannabis or alcohol as to how it changes your perception and as to how frequent they are factors to an accident? In my country some cough medicine have a "red warning triangle" wich means ur not allowed "using" it and drive, so over here the tolerance in traffic is very low, that's also why there are lesser accidents caused by DUI's but still they are N1 reason for fatal accidents...

wtf you keep bringing up alcohol for? i don't drink. you all keep comparing it to booze but i can't compare it to anything else. biased much? let's tried to stay focused on just pot from now on. then you won't get so confused.





why did the cop let me go? if i was so IMPAIRED? no one has answered this yet.

how is one tested for being stoned?


why did i not get tested?

 

[fdd2blk]

Smoke another joint Superman, your perception in this matter is so entertaining.

yet you refuse to answer a simple question that proves you wrong. i wouldn't answer either.

your "opinion" over a cops observation. hmmmm, who should i go with?

 

[mookie brown]

how is one tested for being stoned

In Florida a drivers license is a privilege & not a right. If you're pulled over high as a kite or the cop smells marijuana but can't find it. By law he can order a blood test to be taken from you. Not many people read the handbooks completely before they apply for a drivers license or bother to remember everything in the book. They just study road signs, parallel parking, put on seat belt, mirror adjusting & crap like that.

I guess you got me. Your so smart. You should be the poster boy for marijuana. It surely will be legalized

Here here everybody, Superman didn't get caught by a cop when he endangered your families lives when he was toking and driving. Yea your smart , You win.

I guess I got a -Rep. I am so devastated. He wins again!! Such power with your 40 posts a day for the last 3 1/2 years. I wish I was half the man you are with such maturity and composure. Who said marijuana damages emotional growth.

You never answered this:

I never vomited in my sleep, pissed myself or blacked out on pot, but I been slow in reactions, drifting, forgetting etc. That never happens to you when you smoke or it just don't "happen" to ya when you smoke and drive?

"...but do you really believe that these 3 (coffee, cigs, cough med.) are comparable to cannabis OR alcohol..."

That's why I put the OR there, cuz I knew would make a remark regarding me mentioning alcohol

I don't know how impaired you were, but unless your one of those not affected "negative", slow reactions, drifting, forgetting etc. (combined w driving negative) then you were impaired. Since you have been smoking for such a long time maybe he couldnt "see" it on you, that doesnt mean your not "under the influence".

As some1 mentioned, if he suspected he coulda done a blood test, I've even heard of "strips" that they can place on your forhead and it reacts w the sweat showing of there's any THC, as I said I've only heard this1, dun actually know if it's true?!

in MD they cant search your car unless your being arrested. They pulled me over for speeding and searched my car and found a dime in my guitar case. i told the judge that they searched my car illegally and they totally dropped my possession charge. another time when i was 10 i was driving with my mom and they searched our car and arrested her for "marijuana" in the car. turns out it was dirt in the handle of the door....ever since then ive HATED......................HATED...............cops

i was pulled over for a license plate light being out (it wasnt) given a sobriety check, was just under the .08 but taken in anyway. The case is pending, but I still have a suspended license for two months, and that will kill my ability to work, which will put me out of a job and way into debt. Stay out of Burbank, CA

 

[svchop889]

I got arrested and did 6 month probation for 3 blunt roaches and some seeds. I wasn't even pulled over, I ran out of gas at a closed gas station. a friend of mine got pinned for a bag of dirt, cop said it was hash. bottom line cops are criminals with badges.

stay out of America this country fucking sucks

 

[dr green lung]

A kid was in the tank for possession even with a med card. He had one joint. Point is, the Burbank PD needs to fill the books to make it look like they are effective, so they can keep their jobs, while the rest of us are scrambling

 

[dr green lung]

Yea SVChop If only I could

Pot is way different then alcohol, especially for those who do it on a regular basis....other than a warm feeling behind my eyes and a state of wellbeing and peace my reaction time is just as good. I have never been in an accident as a result of being stoned and the only difference with my driving is I go slower at night if I am baked but since I usually speed that is probably a good thing. Point is that everyone needs to be responsible for themselves, the Govt doesn't need to have a say in it if it isn't affecting others and it isn't. Obviously if you are one of the few that pot hits extra hard, all I can say is I wish I was you and I wouldn't drive in that case but I smoke 24-7 otherwise my social anxiety would destroy my business and obviously I need to drive to do estimates and get jobs...but only ignorant people try to compare alcohol and pot cuz they are two entirely different chemicals.

I would have jump on that point but you got it.

 

[svchop889]

right im stuck in michigan. Cali and MI have the worst economies right now. we have a canadian dyke with moles for a face. and you have an ex movie star. weed can save and or improve lives but is illegal. alcohol and tobacco that kill and destroy lives are legal. shit just never makes sense.

 

[dr green lung]

Even more Chop, we got people dying from LEGAL drugs (Corey Haims) and even ADMINISTERED by doctors (Michael Jackson), and yet we cant get a break on a little comfort herb. Legal drugs kill just as well as the illegal ones, and nobody (almost) is willing to take responsibility when the fuck up. Which is why we need cops and courts, but when they dont have enough legitimate crime to cover, they need to make shit up

 

[dr green lung]

Like emptying out the prisons so they can chase the bad guys again and keep their phony jobs. And we all get to pay for it. Hooray for us

 

[svchop889]

society as a whole is fucked and no one seems to feel like anything can be done so world keeps spinning faster and faster in the wrong direction. Im sick as shit and fed up with everyone's damn general stupidity about damn near everything. TOO MUCH I CAN'T
