Wrong Place, Wrong Time (smoking pot in the courthouse restroom)

And to think that the dope smokers believe that marijuana has no negative side effects. I guess stupidity is not a side effect they can detect (probably because they are stoned when they are testing themselves for those side effects).

Don't forget the 49 Xanax he had in his pocket while showing up for his hearing on drug charges.

Hmmm. How do those search pills work, anyway?

They have tiny embedded microchips that send out signals which are picked up by police scanners. Makes it real easy to find the perps.

Yeah, if you need Xanax to deal with your pot use, you really need to rethink your life.

Smoking weed in the courthouse restroom...

Reminds me of the time I was in court, watching the proceedings from the gallery. My mom's no-good brother was facing breaking-and-entering charges, and my mom dragged up boys down there in case we were needed as character witnesses.

(That wouldn't have done any good - I thought my uncle was a scumbag, and wasn't about to perjure myself over his a$$)

Anyway, as the accused perps were standing before The Man, this Ronald McDonald-looking dude facing a possession charge offered this little gem in his defense:

"Your Honor, I'll have you know that I only smoke the purest of pot."

My brothers and I had a hell of a time keeping from busting up laughing at that guy's idiocy.

I had a client show up once for a hearing in Federal court, visibly stoned out of his gourd.

LOL See my post (#24) on this thread.

I used to know a guy that had to appear in court for a burglary charge and he made sure every stitch he was wearing had been stolen in other burglaries, ring, hat and shoes too. He laughed & laughed about standing in front of the judge like that.

I'll remember that next time I see video of a judge "reading intently".

There was a video circulating around on the internet of a guy who showed up stoned on Judge Judy. This guy was red-eyed, his eyelids were at half mast, and he was making no sense at all. When Judge Judy would ask him a question, he would say a few pertinent words on the subject then just start rambling off on weird tangents. At the end of the 5-minute clip, she just says, "We're going to have to do this another day, you're not coherent enough to be doing anything." Maybe it was an outtake.

"Your Honor, I'll have you know that I only smoke the purest of pot."

Can't imagine why that wouldn't impress a judge. LOL

On UPN, there used to be a show called World's Dumbest Criminals. They showed courtroom video a guy there on drug charges. He dropped a packet of cocaine on the courthouse floor while he was pulling his ID out of his pants pocket for bailiff.
