CBC is reporting that "Two Toronto police officers who allegedly ingested marijuana edibles, hallucinated and called for help while on duty Sunday have been suspended, CBC News has learned. Over the weekend, Toronto police carried out a raid at Community Cannabis Clinic, a marijuana dispensary at St. Clair Avenue West near Dufferin Street. Sources tell CBC News the marijuana edibles the officers ingested are believed to have come from this dispensary."
I Heart Radio is confirming that "Two Toronto Police officers have been suspended after allegedly getting high while on duty after consuming marijuana edibles stolen during a dispensary raid."
The Toronto Sun is reporting that "Two Toronto Police officers have been suspended in a story that includes accusations of eating seized pot edibles, tree climbing and hospital visits, too. One officer was allegedly flying so high, he ended up in a tree. Const. Vittorio Dominelli, a 10 year veteran, and Const. Jamie Young, who has been on the force for two years - complained of hallucinations, according to a police source."
The same thing happened in California. After a raid on a pot dispensary in Santa Ana, the police started chowing down on pot edibles. The police association applied for a restraining order banning the video from being released but a judge denied their application. Here's that video.
Yet, it's safe enough to legalize ...
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of like self check out at the grocery store. There should be some kind of IQ test to qualify. Ingesting pot is a lot more powerful and takes a lot longer to take effect. They kept eating more and more because it wasn't taking effect then it hit them all at once.
DeleteI know a group of guys that have pot cookies for special occasions. One guy who was new to the group ate a few and was f*cked up for days. One of the guys asked how many he ate. Three they said. Three? You're only supposed to eat half of one. Well maybe someone should have told him that.
Marijuana is a lot more "powerful" than a lot of people think. Especially today's "strains".
DeleteIt has been postulated that an entire bag of weed in the 1960's would be what is needed to make an equivalent of a mere "joint" today in equitable amount of mind-altering substances.
So, those who have "experimented" with pot in the past and look back on their experiences and come to the conclusion "it's not too bad" have a perspective that is completely out of proportion and inadequate.
BC bud today is a lot more powerful than homegrown was back in he day. I did not support the legalization of pot I supported the decriminalization of pot. Nevertheless I'm not going to flog a dead horse and complain about the democratic will of the people. Pot is not as bad as crack, crystal meth or fentanyl. Throwing everyone in jail for smoking pot is a complete waste of tax dollars and prevents us from confronting the real problem we currently face.
DeleteYes! Liberals.
DeleteLOL...Where do they find these guys??
ReplyDeleteNOBODY, I mean NOBODY, ever hallucinates on weed.
ReplyDeleteBack in the day nobody hallucinated from pot but now I'm not so sure. We're not talking about chronic pot smokers who have developed a tolerance to it. We're talking about very rare pot smokers that ingests a huge amount of high grade.
DeleteI had a blog reader that said his GF claims he's paranoid because he smokes too much pot. I said pot doesn't make you paranoid. He said apparently too much BC Bud can indeed make you paranoid. It wasn't like that back in my day.
omg you can't make this stuff up for a comedy special. thanks for the laugh, even if its very serious stuff.
ReplyDeleteperhaps it is better these two officers find another line of work. they would have run amuk sooner or later. Ah, Toronto's finest.........
