Slog - Comments on “We Made Brownies and I Think We’re Dead” http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/05/we_made_brownies_and_i_think_were_dead The police academy doesn’t teach cadets how to make pot brownies, but maybe they should. The claim above was made by a Michigan cop on the phone to 911… A police officer will avoid criminal charges despite admitting he took marijuana from criminal suspects and, with his wife, baked it into brownies. The police department’s decision not to pursue a case against former Cpl. Edward Sanchez left a bad taste in the mouth of at least one city official, who vowed to investigate. The department’s investigation began with a 911 call from Sanchez’s home on April 21, 2006 [that's right,...

THAT'S funny! You'd think he would have looked up a good recipe before baking (hehe, I said "baking" but I really meant baking... I'm funny). It's not like they are hard to find.

Yeah, what a prick though. Not cool to bust a guy with pot then steal his stash. That's just bad mojo right there. No wonder he got sick.

It's often struck me as a nasty selection filter that applicants to SPD have to afirm-- and then take a lie detector test to really afirm --that they haven't used drugs more than (I think) 10 times in their life and that the last time they smoked pot was at least 10 years ago.

I mean, that automatically filters out all but the most uptight and self-righteous 10% at pretty much every level of development. Then you're going to take these neophobic tightwads, arm them, and have them deal with urban crime. Seems like a recipe for disaster to me.

I personaly figure I have far to many other vices as it is already.

F the police

Curves, sliders, sinkers. Strike after strike. I was the one who made the cookies. They were strong.

The kids (who had had popsicles instead) had dug deep for amazing wiffle batting skills and repeatedly hit the best I could dish out.

I thought of calling 911 numerous times. Problem was: There was no one in the pen.

I guess it's been a while since I imbibed. I didn't think it was possible to OD on pot. I'd heard it is stronger now. Back in the 1970s I used to smoke a lot of it. Back then you just could not smoke enough to OD. Still, even if it is stronger now, I'd think you'd have to really work at smoking/eating too much, no? It just isn't that powerful a drug.

But still, the worst that's gonna happen to you if you ingest too much is you'll get sick, throw up, then sleep a lot. But before all that happens you'll laaaugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.

Both times they were too strong and both times it was a miserable high. Plus there is somthing to be said about the ritual of smoking weed. Eating it may be easier on the lungs, but it's no where near as satisfying.

Thing is, Dad was going through this intense gym queen phase right then, so he didn’t want to put butter in the brownies. Which is stupid, of course, but he was sure there had to be some way to draw out the THC without using butter, so he spent a whole day experimenting with different fat free or low fat solvents trying to come up with low-fat pot brownies. And every time he had another failure he’d hand me a tray of brownies to eat. By about 10:00 that night, between the sugar high and the buzz from eating half a pound of extra crispy rag weed, I didn’t know whether to shit or go blind.
