As someone who prefers booze as my drug of choice, the thing I find about marijuana is that it’s really, really easy — if you don’t know what you’re doing — to accidentally get super duper high. Like, with alcohol, getting wasted is a process, and unless you’re relentlessly pounding back shots of Jim Beam, it’s hard to just “accidentally” get wasted, in my experience — whereas if you take the wrong-sized bite of an edible or hit off a particularly powerful gravity bong (as I learned the hard way in my early 20s) you’re going to be seeing disembodied baby-doll heads for the next several hours.
Such may have been the case of a 22-year-old Ohio man who cops found surrounded by “a plethora of Doritos, Pepperidge Farm Goldfish, and Chips Ahoy cookies” last Friday after he called 911 for being “too high.” When police arrived they were let into the house by the unnamed man’s grandfather, who directed officers to a room that had audible groaning coming from it. There they found the man lying on the floor in a fetal position, where he said that he smoked too much weed and could no longer feel his hands.
The man, who denied medical treatment which was evidently the entire purpose of the 911 call, told police that he had smoked the weed in his car, and then gave the officers his keys with permission to search. In the car they found a glass jar with marijuana in it, rolling papers, a glass pipe containing pot residue, along with two partially smoked joints. As a result he is now facing misdemeanor charges for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, since marijuana is not legal yet in the state of Ohio. Smoke responsibly, kids!
