Drugs Impare Your Judgement
Friday, October 9th, 2009 • Filed under Drugs
Sometimes I wonder if court houses should be required to equip brain detectors instead of metal detectors.
A guy going into one courthouse put his bag of marijuana into the pocket bowl before walking through the metal detector, according to the Abliene Reporter News.
In his defense, putting a bowl in front of a pothead is just asking for trouble.
Police arrested him on the spot and took him to the county jail, saving untold man-hours and local tax dollars by committing his crime in a law enforcement building. I wonder if the county will nominate him for the good citizen award?

What a pervert.
PocketBunny says: October 11th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
There’s nothing perverted about this, the guy’s just obviously too baked to think through what he’s doing… We really ought to just make it like Portugal and stop making possession a crime. It’s really silly to book the idiots addicted to the stuff when a lot more time, money, and effort needs to be expended on those who are peddling this stuff in the first place.

Yet another entry for the “Crimes at the policehouse” category. Right next to the other 5 or so stories about people voluntarily handing drugs over.

That’s pretty dumb. Maybe he was high at the time? Either that or all his brain cells burned up from the pot he was smoking. Honestly, who uses this sh*t? There’s like a thousand unknown chemicals in it and people are willing to put this in their bodies.? That’s insane! It’s like going through a school lab and drinking everything you can get your hands on-not only dangerous, but stupid as all hell!

Weed does not have over 1000 unkown chemicals. it has little, known chemicals. and its completely harmless.

ian says: October 30th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
im so sick of uninformed people like togepifluff who have no idea what the hell they are talking abou. #1 we know exactly what everychemical in mrijuana is. #2 MOst of them are about as harmful as driking a cup of milk. #3 It is thee single safest drug known to man. *****
Susan says: October 30th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Oh, yeah, “Ariel,” pot is completely harmless! Except for *verifiably* rotting your brain cells. If this guy isn’t a perfect example of that, I don’t know who else is.
Carol says: October 30th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
I love how the people defending pot as “harmless” are unable to type grammatically correct sentences. It’s like they’re proving they’ve destroyed their brain cells.
USN Rep says: October 30th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
to people such as Carol and Susan, i’m sure you say that and yet throw back a few glasses of wine every now and again or don’t mind people smoking cigarettes. Marijuana has been shown to have many of the same health effects as smoking cigarettes and actually some studies show have more health benefits. not to mention Alcohol kills far more people than any of the major drugs combined and yet i don’t hear anyone saying how they should ban drinking…i don’t even smoke pot but support it’s legalization. Why not just tax the hell out of it. Bring money into the economy and stop costing the tax payers money for all the petty possession charges that are locked up.

As a smoker of the underling plant. I can say without doubt that this guy was on something beside MJ. Perhaps the alcohol in his blood is the real culprit. I have been baked, and I have been B A K E D. But I have never been high enough to accomplish that sort of idiotic feat!
Annonymous says: November 5th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
Pot in and of itself is not a horrible thing. The problem arises:
1. When people hang out with other stoners and get into more serious drugs.
2. When they interact with law enforcement officers while baked and/or drunk
3. when the CARRY THEIR STASH AROUND! especially in COURT!!!!!!!!
what a dumbshit!

Sorry I meant “grammatically incorrect”. Hopefully my brain cells aren’t rotting.

Togepifluff.1000 chemicals?thats just stupid.why don’t you go to a coke or black tar page and leave your comments where they’re more relevant.
and **** Tart.you really are a **** TART aren’t you?or maybe just baked.he put his weed in the the “pocket bowl”, that little dish you put your keys and wallet in.not a ****** pipe??your balls should be smashed too.thanks
ArdentSun says: November 6th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
Great, let’s leagize and encourage pot. Let’s watch our country grow lazy and inept because they’d rather smoke pot than work or accomplish something. Motivation? Amibition? Who needs that, I’d rather be useless! Pass the joint, dude.
Seriously. All you idiots calling for the legalization of marijuana ignore the reason it was made illegal in the first place (Oh wait, it must have been because of some conspiracy the cotton industry placed against hemp. Which you hippies love because it glosses over fact with myth and makes it easier to express your long winded and pointless arguements). Seriously. Even going through University, the students I knew to be stoners did worse and worse. Come to think of it, pretty much everyone I know who dropped out smoked pot. But I’m sure that’s just a coincidence, right? I’m sure the angry stoner who responds is an accomplished individual in society, right? Maybe even the *head* Janitor!

What says: November 24th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
I believe people really need to step back and take a look at the big picture.
Please consider a few things before you bash, or praise Marijuana;
1) It IS harmful. It DOES have carcinogens in it.
2) It DOES void ambition, and motivation, to certain extents.
3) It has been smoked for 100′s of years, a petty argument won’t change the tide of this war.
4) There is little proof of permanent brain cell damage.
Now look at things from an economic perspective;
-Imagine the jobs created by the legalization of Marijuana, preparing the lang, farming the bud, trimming the bud, harvesting the bud, processing (grinding/de-seeding if necessary) the bud, packaging, distribution, retail, ect.
-The growing of marijuana is relatively inexpensive, say it takes $20 to grow an ounce, sell the ounce for $60, make $40 in profit and taxes.
Sorry I ended quickly, I am a college student and have to run to class. I am also an avid smoker.
Mark says: November 25th, 2009 at 6:09 pm
Yeah I agree with Togepifluff. 1000s of unknown chemicals. And can you believe some people even smoke cigarettes. Crazy.

LawlKat says: December 8th, 2009 at 4:40 am
As a mother, I’m no longer a smoker anymore (haven’t been for 3 years, I’m not going to lose my children over a leisure), but that was the only thing that got me through high school and college. My ADHD was so bad, I couldn’t get ANYTHING done. All the medications we tried I was either allergic to, or made me so zombie-like, my family and friends could barely interact with me. As for the people who say that it makes people lazy and unmotivated, IMO, that is an untruth. Yes, it lowers motivation, but I always knew when I could smoke and when I couldn’t. In the 6 years that I smoked marijuana, I never ONCE went to work stoned. Marijuana doesn’t MAKE slackers, it makes the slackers WORSE. I knew quite a few ‘stoners’, myself included, who had the wherewithal and the self control to put responsibilities first, smoking second. So, please, let’s not stereotype. On another note, marijuana can be used for many, many, MANY things besides altering one’s state of mind. It can be used to make clothing, oil, PAPER. I hate to sound like a tree-hugger, but we could save SO many rainforests by making paper out of hemp instead of wood. Marijuana grows in one season, whereas trees take decades to grow (and be replaced). Marijuana has less carcinogens than cigarettes, (naturally, because, well…. it’s natural) and damages the brain much less than what most young Americans do by drinking. The United States Government, for chrissakes, administers it for medicinal purposes. Now, this is not to say that dumb people, such as this guy, don’t misuse and abuse marijuana. But dumb people misuse and abuse alcohol, with much more unfortunate results. I, for one, have NEVER heard of anyone who’s gotten so stoned that they passed out in their own vomit and asphyxiated, or beat their wife to death. Sorry for writing a dissertation, but I think that most people are very deluded as to the actual effects, benefits, and dangers of marijuana. The propaganda ads from the 70′s did more damage than they expected, methinks…
ItsMe says: December 11th, 2009 at 1:16 am
I agree with LawlKat. Some people just don’t understand that there is a time and a place for everything. For some odd reason there are people that go to work stoned off their *** but those same people wouldn’t got to work drunk(even though there are people that do). I’m neither against or for the legalization of marijuana but I just don’t seem to see why people make such a big deal about the drug. There are legal drugs that “Impair Your Judgement,” so why don’t you people ***** and complain about them?
JWL MD says: December 11th, 2009 at 9:21 am
I agree with LawlKat 100% there is a time and place for marijuana. marijuana in itself is not a bad thing its uses are endless. Its when used too much by people with highly addictive personalities that it becomes bad, ever heard the phrase too much of a good thing. I have used marijuana for 12 years now. I have never gone to work high i use it after a hard 18 hour shift sometimes to bring me down. I know the risks and there are so many things that we put in our bodies and inhale on a daily basis that are worse for your body than marijuana. to say that everyone who smokes marijuana is “stupid” and “lazy” they are ignorant because I am a “potsmoker” and a medical doctor. I say marijuana is just what the doctor recommends.

Been using for close to 12 years… 29yr old, grad. from college, comp. sci., math minor. great job 65k+… can’t remember the last time I went more than 2 days without smokin one… no ill effects, way safer than alcohol ppl are really just dumb. I know ppl that have been coke heads for close to 15 -20 yrs and they’re fine… it’s not drugs or guns or video games that make people do bad things to others, it’s the people themselves.. Outlawing drugs and guns is gov. taking responsibility for those that refuse to take responsibility for themselves.

Orlando says: December 20th, 2009 at 11:30 am
Id just like to say i havent smoked at all but im in for legalization of marijuana.
All you old people oppsing the facts are wrong because tobacco and alcohol do WWAAAYYYY FU**KIN WORSE den weed.
just look at this:
Michael Phelps-top athlete and smokes weed………..VERY WELL ACCOMPLISHED ATHLETE
Wes says: January 3rd, 2010 at 4:56 am
Weed is completely harmless except that it makes you stupid.
My brother used to be a competent mechanic before he became a pothead. Then he started doing stupid things, like: Draining the oil, then forgetting he had drained the oil and drove the car around with no oil until the engine seized.
Those who are defending the legalization of pot: Please stop. You’re already too stupid, you don’t need to make yourselves even more stupid.
Joe says: January 4th, 2010 at 3:27 pm
Putting the actual story aside, anyone who is on here to attack people who smoke weed are retarded. Weed does kill brain cells, but you lose more from sneezing. Also any kind of smoke is bad for you, no one will deny it, but marijuana doesnt have thousands of chemical as do cigarettes (which are legal). And all of these stupid *** stories on here about how someone in your family used to be smart until they smoked weed, its not the weed its your dumbass family stupid people do stupid things. also to all you people stereotyping people who smoke weed, **** you, your the ones who are uneducated to the point where your ignorance wont even allow you to acknowledge that what your saying is just garbage and hate speech. Yes this one person on here is pretty stupid, but when you generalize a whole group of people (believe it or not probably 60% of the world) based on one person it makes you sound like an idiot. Why dont you do some research before you keep on spreading the propaganda.

For who ever makes it to the bottom of this retarted argument to read my ****… here it is. America is already lazy if they wana smoke pot let um. For everyone else **** off and shut the **** up you ******* morons. Andy Happy 2010 eveyone thats kool. :]
Willow says: January 26th, 2010 at 9:18 am
Alcohol is more harmful then pot. How many cases of pot poisoning have you ever heard of? Get a clue!!!

Wes your brother is a dumbass weed didnt make him forget to change the oil stupidity made your brother forget. I support legalizing weed because tobacco is worse.
Person Man says: May 12th, 2010 at 5:42 am
Might as well leave my two cents behind. I’ve been smoking the fine stuff for roughly ten years now, and although I’m no authority on marijuana’s “thousands” of chemicals, I do have a little logic in me. Now, why do people assume that the moment pot is legalized everyone in the whole country is immediately going to rush out and get stoned and drive to work and get stoned at work and blow pot smoke in the faces of innocent children? Are YOU going to do that? Of course not. If pot is legalized, the people smoking it are probably just going to be the same people who are smoking it now. (It’s not like it’s hard to find if you haven’t popped all your brain cells with booze, which is one of the real killers) And that’s our choice. Thank God for America. And as for you smokers who foolishly type their petty words in anger- thanks for making us all look bad. (Or shame on you for pretending to be a stoner and making us look bad [winky face]) Whatever your vice may be, be responsible. Peace.
Person Man says: May 12th, 2010 at 5:54 am
Oh yeah, and here’s a cool “article” on how moderate use of pot can help prevent head and neck cancer.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19638490
Mostly statistical jargon, but that last line is what it’s all about. It may be also important to note the low rate of lung cancer among pot smokers, despite the fact that pot contains something like ten times more cancer-causing carcinogens. Cool right? Research is being developed to study weather or not we can fight cancer with cannabis!

“In his defense, putting a bowl in front of a pothead is just asking for trouble.”
I wonder if he’ll try to use the defense of entrapment!
Stan says: June 29th, 2010 at 4:15 pm
Yes, pocketbunny makes a good point. So for all the pedophiles out there, since they’re addicted, we should just make that legal too. After all, it’s a lot of money and effort to actually go and get them. Who started this pedophile thing anyway? We should go after them instead and let the crazies sit outside Elementary schools because, after all, they’re already addicted. Good logic.
Unimpressed with the uninformed says: November 16th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
After reading all the comments, I felt compelled to add my 2 cents. Thanks for indulging me.
The real reason pot will not be legalized is because the drug companies cannot monopolize it – period. Its all about the money folks. They have their “special interest”, and they pay a LOT of money so they can push their man made drugs on you. Ever notice how there is a drug for everything, and a lot of new “syndromes” keep cropping up? You think they spend a lot in advertising? check out what they spend lobbying in order to “shape” the laws.
George Washington GREW it – its a fact. Hemp has so many uses, and is way safer than any drug on the market, yet gets the worst rap, and this is not by coincidence. Check out the side affect for all the drugs you see commercials for – the side affects are worse than what it is they want to cure with their brand new miracle drug.
As for “stoners” dropping out of school? Its a well known fact that our “edjumacation” system here in America is geared toward “dumbing” down the individual in order to make a docile worker bee – god forbid someone thinks for themselves – otherwise they would have to answer the questions “why are we borrowing our own currency from a foreign bank – and who thought this made fiscal sense?” (and to you ArdentSun, stayed in school did ya? followed the program like a good little lemming? I bet you think the federal reserve is a government agency don’t you).
There have been many productive members of society who have dropped out – Bill Gates for one… Myself for another
Oh.. and I have smoked since I was 16.
