Marijuana Makes You Stupid…

posted by on May 28 at 10:30 AM

Maybe not everyone, and maybe not permanently, but definitely for these guys for a while…

Two teenagers face drug charges after police allegedly found a large amount of suspected marijuana in their hotel this weekend.

On Sunday at about 10:30 p.m., Ocean City police responded to the Majestic Hotel after receiving complaints that a strong odor of marijuana was coming from room 420. After approaching the room and noting a clear aroma of burning marijuana, officer’s knocked on the door and confronted the hotel guests.

When officers asked the two men, 19-year-old Gary Herget Jr. and 19-year-old Sean Locklear, if there was any marijuana in the hotel room, they informed officers that they “smoked it all.” Officers then asked if they could search the room for any more marijuana and the men responded, “sure, go ahead.”

After a thorough search of the hotel room, officers discovered nine plastic baggies full of suspected marijuana, a digital scale and nearly 200 empty plastic baggies.

Selling dope out of a smoke-filled hotel room number 420 is one of the most boneheaded things someone could possibly do. But inviting the cops to search that room—which your feeble mind knows is packed with felonies—that’s the most boneheaded thing someone could possibly do.

See 1-800-want-pot. It was good while it lasted.

But really they were busted already, at least they had a sense of humor.

the title reminds me of an exchange I had with an anti-pot asshole a few years back.

Him: I heard pot makes you stupid.

Me (exhaling a massive hit): Really? So, then what is your excuse?

@4 - Precisely. I've always been of the belief that stupid people probably shouldn't smoke marijuana. They give the rest of us a bad name. Seriously, selling out of room 420? How dumb can you be?

Didn't the police already have probable cause to search the room?

Good God. They were totally asking for it. This is as bad as the dealer I used to know who got his caller ID registered as "Joints R Pimpin'."

All they had to do was say the pot was in the room already. We had a tenant who let the police in and when they found a BIG bag of meth he said it wasn't his and he didn't know who it belonged to. They let him go and took the bag. Wonder what happened to it?
