Oh, wait! There will be no jury. Police in Michigan have decided not to press charges after one of their own, former Cpl. Edward Sanchez, took some marijuana from a drug bust and used it to make pot brownies. After eating the brownies, Sanchez and his wife had a little freak-out and called 911, believing that they were "overdosing." "I think we're dying," Sanchez pleaded during the five-minute phone call. "We made brownies, and I think we're dead. I really do." We all know that stealing confiscated drugs is illegal enough to merit some serious charges, but shouldn't there be some extra stupidity misdemeanor thrown in there? Overdosing on weed is about as likely as eating only one Oreo after a couple joints, and that is something any person in charge of confiscating illegal substances should know. Even the THC-infused city of Boulder pressed charges on City Councilman Richard Polk for a marijuana mishap, and his trip didn't involve a paranoid death delusion. Then again Polk did tell police that the stuff in his pocket wasn't good shit. Maybe we're missing out here in Boulder. It might be time to try trading that quarter of Boulder Skunk for a dime bag of the Michigan Death Doobie. - --- MAP posted-by: Beth Wehrman
