Man Texts Old Friend Invitation to Smoke Pot

[Jim Finnel]

The ill-advised combination of marijuana and texting claims another victim: A Texas man had the brilliant idea of texting an old friend the question, "So do you smoke weed?" It seems he was looking to get together and smoke some pot he had. Problem is, that old friend, Amanda Williams, had become a police offer—and he didn't know that. Williams agreed to meet him at a park, where police and Texas troopers detained the man, who faces a marijuana possession charge, reports the AP.

[zeetz2004]

i feel aghast ?....i'm stuck in the houston area and there seems to be no modernization of the rules or laws...or much of anything that i am aware of, in texas...that helps or supports medicinal use ....which is somewhat of an insult to my intelligence...it seems law enforcement, whatever is going on with jurisprudence?,...etc relating to this Police state like way they treat all medicinal users ....is beyond me...if the state and local govs...were to realize the tax revenue benefits that could be reaped in an impartial, civilized,yet fair way to tax all products of this ilk....wouldn't this make it a lucrative endeavor...i'm far from being the 'solution holder'....but we're not criminals....

Reminds me of the old TV show, Dragnet:
dumb de dumb! DUMB!!

Mm

 

[emilyblunt]

Aww that's bad. The policewoman would've spared the man for old friendship's sake. Tsk tsk. If I were the man, I'd be really pissed. What's up with rats anyway? Epic fail!

 

[Tigerr1972]

She's tryin to move up by taking friends down. Sad

 

[bill fromjersey]

That ain't right, a dude tries to reconnect wit a friend (who most likely smoked weed before), thens get troopers on his ass. That's F**ked up.

 

[diggler35007]

if he really knew her , then he would not have texted that question . if he would have said , do you STILL smoke weed , it may have been different .

 

[diggler35007]

What are rats good for?

Just when is Texas going to wake-up and smell the coffee. No disrespect to the silent majority. It seems that for every step forward in the long road to get this drug legalized there is always someone or something there to knock somebody down who uses it. I got my lastest issue of Nat Geo, in it was a small, but meaningful artical on the use and benifits of MMJ. It's only a few paragraghs long. What this means to me is that this drug ( for lack of a better word )is fast gaining social acceptance.

well said. If he texted her "do you still smoke weed?". The policewoman would've been too embarassed or something to tell her other officers.
