Nemo Back in 1987 I was on my home from work. As usual I had stayed late at the Plant and could work without interruption. The road in front of our plant was a dead straight 2 lane road for about 1 mile then took a 90 degree turn to the right which was not visible due to many shade trees growing there in the farm field in that corner. It then continued dead straight after one made that turn. I was driving my wife's brand new Chevy Celebrity Eurosport, 1986, and it had every available option on it. I bought it for her for Christmas by coming home early one day, picked her up and drove to the dealership around the corner from our house and said to her to pick out whatever car she really liked.
She liked this one and it was on the showroom floor. I was about a quarter mile on that road going home with my windows down and I heard the sounds of a car that was all over the place coming from that 90 degree bend that was not visible due to the tree coverage and shrubs. I stopped the car and just waited to see what was going to come around that bend. Then it came. Some piece of crap ten year old Chevy Impala that was rust eaten and it was all over the road. From one side to the next swerving back and forth. I threw the transmission in reverse and was backing up as fast as I could trying to get away from this person. When the driver came into my lane I switched into the other. I did everything humanly possible to avoid this maniac. The car was six months old and pristine. I do not normally drive her car to work but for some reason, that day, I just wanted to drive something nicer than what I drove to work everyday, a 1982 Dodge Omni Miser. The other car swerved back into his own lane and I immediately got into my own lane. The gap between us was now less than a hundred yards. I was still in reverse and going backwards. This BASTARD soed up,, swerved into my lane again and then HIT ME HEAD ON at about 50 mph. My neck snapped forward, hit the windshield, cut me up, then bounced back me back and slammed into the headrest. I sat stunned for a couple minutes.
A Passerby came and stopped to offer assistance. He called the police and I got out of my car to go talk to the other person. The car did not even belong to him. He "borrowed" it from someone he said was a friend, only the friend did not know he "borrowed" it. The police showed up and called an ambulance for me. I had blood streaming down my face, and I was cut up. The entire front end of the car was crumpled. The police looked in the other car and found a bag full of marijuana. This TURD was one of those marijuana smokers who think you can hallucinate and alter your brain and still drive on a public safely and not endanger ANYONE else's lives. I am here to tell you that ANYONE under the influence of marijuana is a DANGER and a menace on a public road where other drivers have a right to be. It was a good thing I did not have a concealed carry weapon on me at the time as I would have been charged with murder. This MARIJUANA USER cost us our summer vacation which we were going on in less than two weeks time because of my injuries and now I had a six month old showroom car that needed the entire doghouse replaced because he was just a marijuana user...... The problem with so called legalized marijuana is that it is not predominantly used for medical conditions. POTHEADS find any way they can to turn something like this into a mind altering substance, and use it recreationally and then go out and drive a car on the streets, endangering many people's lives.
I KNOW. I AM ONE OF THE VICTIMS of POTHEAD MARIJUANA SMOKERS who drove while under the influence. I am lucky to be alive. So if we can control the real usage of this very dangerous and hallucinatory plant and MAKE SURE that it is only used by someone who truly could benefit from it and get out of pain, BUT NEVER BE ALLOWED BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A CAR, then I am all for it. I am against the free sale of so called medical marijuana because I am not stupid enough to think that the only thing it is being PURCHASED FOR is medical necessity. And like Ribit, when all those pot smoking hippies were gathering at Woodstock screwing anything that stood or layed still long enough or smoking dope of all kinds, I was getting my ARSE shot at by NVA regulars as well as VC in that beautiful little far place called Vietnam. And like Ribit I think, I volunteered. GO JEFF SESSIONS. SHUT DOWN the non controlled HEAD polluting drug industry called medical marijuana and make sure only those who have a prescription for it from a doctor can obtain it.
Then I have no problem with it..... Just for the record..... micro.... |
