Odd

As the video below aptly demonstrates, it’s not a good idea to call 911 when you’re baked unless it’s a dire emergency.

Many of you have heard the last call, the marijuana brownie call that has become legendary on the internet. And Anderson Cooper’s lame attempts at humor aside, you have to wonder why a high person would want to call 911.

Is it really possible to be so high that you forget that the 911 dispatch center can easily trace your call? Or is it more a matter of being so high you don’t care?

In any event, 911 is only for emergencies. Don’t be a moron and tie up the line with your stupidity. You could end up hurting other people by distracting someone who could save their life. And all it’s going to get you is arrested.

If you’re high and really need to make a phone call, prank call your friends and family. Or call a local radio station and annoy the DJ with your song requests. In other words, chill out. Pot smokers invariably get into trouble when they forget the first rule of being stoned: Don’t draw attention to yourself.

The more you hear about how some cops actually conduct themselves on the street and how many police departments in this country are run, stories like the one in the video below become less shocking.

After all, when a friend tells you of something shady or downright illegal they saw or heard a cop do, how many of you just nod your head and say something like, “that don’t surprise me?”

Allegations out of Minneapolis, Minnesota accuse some police officers of offering drugs (among other things) to people on the streets to see how they would react. Many of these guinea pigs came from the city’s Occupy protest.

It’s doubtful that “drug recognition” was the real reason behind this alleged program. It’s more likely that the police wanted the protestors (and the public in general) off balance, or downright stoned. That way they could expect less trouble from them.

Allegations are also swirling that this is not a new program, which makes you wonder exactly what the cops in Minneapolis are up to – it makes you wonder a little about your local police department as well. We know some cops simply can’t resist living above the law.

How many of you are nodding your head right now and saying to yourself, “that don’t surprise me?”
