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.

"If you're a cop and you're arresting people and you're confiscating the marijuana and keeping it yourself, that's bad. That's real bad," said City Councilman Doug Thomas.

After the death of Gertrude Stein in 1946, Miss Toklas published her own literary memoir, a 1954 book that mixed reminiscences and recipes under the title The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook. The most famous recipe therein (actually contributed by her friend Brion Gysin) was called "Hashisch Fudge", a mixture of fruit, nuts, spices, and "canibus sativa" [sic] (aka: Marijuana).

I listened to the mp3 of that 911 call.
The guy said they used a quarter ounce of weed in the brownies. That’s not enough to blow a mouse’s mind.
Reality is for those poor folks who can’t handle drugs.

That is an EXCELLANT cookbook!!!

I listened to the mp3 of that 911 call.

My 2 favorite quotes:

"Time is going really, really, really, really slow".

and

"What's the score of the Red Wings game?"

In the 60’s a friend I knew tried this with brownies. It didn’t make anyone “high”... but then again, in the 60’s (from what I remember...) we were too stoned to know if we were high or not...

if you are a boomer, you may remember the (terrible) movie with Peter Sellers called “I love you Alice B. Toklas”... partially based upon this cook book...

Have you ever made these brownies? I can tell you with certainty not only is a quarter ounce too much, but the fool ate the entire tray.

"What's the score of the Red Wings game"

!!!!!!

Heh heh heh heh!

Why weren’t Sanchzes and his wife charged? Because he had things on somebody higher up? And why is he an ex-cop? Because he was too stupid to do the job or too corrupt?

[gcruse]

A quarter of a lid? That’s one big doobie for man, one mellow high of longer duration but lesser peak activity, for munching.

Of course, I’m remembering vegatation from forty years ago. If what drug warriors say about weed of today is true, maybe a quarter ounce has that much bounce. If not, I’m thinking this guy isn’t the naif he claims to be, and the brownies triggered an acid flashback. Acid can indeed generate the sense of “I’ve just killed myself. Now I’m waiting to die.” Grass? Not so much.

Trust me. Eating THC gets very powerful, very fast. While I don't respect this guy for doing this(especially a cop), I can't image how out of control he felt- moreso if this was his first or first few times.

Kids, marijuana will make you lose in life. Stay away.

[gcruse]

Marijuana only makes you lose because it’s been made illegal. In fact, tobacco and alcohol are a lot worse.

[Vision]

No way. Alcohol and tobacco do not effect your mood as strongly as pot. IMO, nothing good comes from sitting in a pool of your own serotonin anytime you want.

[Nate505]

Alcohol doesn’t? So the fact that my ex idiot roommate would start fights at bars, all while drunk, is just a complete concidence?

[Vision]

Oh give it up.

Pot is bad for your brain. Alcohol abuse is not good either.

[Nate505]

Never claimed either were, although the degree is up to debate. But the claim that alcohol doesn’t affect one’s brain like pot does is absurd.

Yup..that WAS a terrible movie..ha.
