Tiger Woods DUI Dash Cam Video.....(Full Video)

[HacheMan]

Two things that stand out to me in the vid....


At one point Tiger agrees to try the walking test again in a way where he seems to think it's a game they are playing lol.

The second thing is that obviously the oficer knows who Woods is, and Tiger gets humiliated at the cop's expense as he drags it out to claim his 15 minutes of fame...

+1

that was some sad shit on the officer's part

 

[Ricboff]

either the cop is dumber than a box of rocks or he's an asshole.

Kinda sad that in today's Florida, people with chronic pain issues are only permitted to use heavy duty, highly addictive Rx pharms as treatment while in about 40% of the USA they can legally use cannabis without the debilitating side effects such as those displayed by Woods in this video

for an advanced country like USA, the below is sad. Especially given today's alternatives for the management of chronic pain. I guess if big pharma can't get its hands on the profits it's a no go? they have THAT much control?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Removal_of_cannabis_from_Schedule_I_of_the_Controlled_Substances_Act

The removal of cannabis from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, the most tightly restricted category reserved for drugs that have "no currently accepted medical use," has been proposed repeatedly since 1972.
Rescheduling proponents argue that cannabis does not meet the Controlled Substances Act's strict criteria for placement in Schedule I and so the government is required by law to permit medical use or to remove the drug from federal control altogether. The US government, on the other hand, maintains that cannabis is dangerous enough to merit Schedule I status. The dispute is based on differing views on both how the Act should be interpreted and what kinds of scientific evidence are most relevant to the rescheduling decision.

let's keep in mind this is a govt that swallowed Key's fat hypothesis which in turn spawned a sugar addiction and of course widespread chronic disease. They're still today many people that believe eating fat makes you fat.

We all know the answer is the latter, as in most cases....

This. Heroin in a pill is legal but not marijuana. And people still argue against it. Craziness.

i wonder how many times this video will be played and replayed all day on tv shows

When combined with the other legs of the multi-billion (some estimates rightly demonstrate upwards of $100B annually) dollar per year Prohibition Industry, yes.

Other legs include, but are not limited to the alcohol industry, the prison industrial complex which begins at the point of arrest* and extends thru the court proceedings, the incarcerations, the probation and parole system and of course the urine-testing industry which by itself is worth several billion dollars annually.

*LE agencies nationwide are paid direct "commissions" by the US Federal Govt for each and every "drug" arrest. Approx 55% of all such arrests in the USA are for cannabis related offenses and 9 in 10 of those are for simple possession charges only.

Since the early 1990s, more people are arrested in the USA on cannabis possession charges than for ALL other violent crime charges

 

[Ricboff]

those are some stunning statistics, Dr Lanquel.

this is intriguing;

'*LE agencies nationwide are paid direct "commissions" by the US Federal Govt for each and every "drug" arrest'

commissions? what do you mean? Conflict of interest

my post was more about the medical use of marijuana, and the absurdity of the Schedule 1 label. With that said, legalization for recreational use has its merits. Its not without dangers; our youth

some early data in from Colorado ;

ER visits related to marijuana use at a Colorado hospital quadruple after legalization


Colorado legalized the commercialization of medical marijuana in 2010 and recreational marijuana use in 2014. For the study, researchers reviewed the hospital system's emergency department and urgent care records for 13- to 21-year-olds seen between January 2005 and June 2015. They found that the annual number of visits with a cannabis related diagnostic code or positive for marijuana from a urine drug screen more than quadrupled during the decade, from 146 in 2005 to 639 in 2014.

"The state-level effect of marijuana legalization on adolescent use has only begun to be evaluated," he said. "As our results suggest, targeted marijuana education and prevention strategies are necessary to reduce the significant public health impact of the drug can have on adolescent populations, particularly on mental health."Dr. Wang will present the abstract, "Impact of Marijuana Legalization in Colorado on Adolescent Emergency Department

.........
Key Findings:Cognitive Functioning• Chronic cannabis use does not appearto produce significant, lasting cognitiveimpairments (problems with memory, attention,or other cognitive problems) in adults.BUT…• Starting cannabis use early (prior to mid-20s inage), while the brain is still developing, may leadto more lasting problems.• Although the cognitive deficits resulting fromchronic cannabis use have been shown incertain cases to be reversible after a month ofdiscontinued use in adults, the same may notbe true for those who start using cannabis inearly adolescence

on the good side.....


Marijuana Taxes Contribute to State Budget, New Colorado Programs


On May 26, Governor John Hickenlooper signed the bill finalizing Colorado's budget for 2017-18. Last year, the legalized marijuana industry brought in $200 million in taxes, and this budget gives us an idea of where that money is going.

The $200 million was generated from three tax revenue streams. The first was the 2.9 percent local tax, which contributes to the revenue in the state's General Fund. The other two revenue streams comprise the special retail marijuana taxes: a 10 percent sales tax and the 15 percent excise tax that are both exempt from TABOR and contribute to the Marijuana Tax Cash Fund.Under a Hickenlooper proposal approved by the Colorado Legislature, $15.3 million will be taken from the Marijuana Tax Cash Fund to provide housing assistance for Colorado's homeless population, as well as individuals with behavioral health needs. "By providing stable housing, which includes rental assistance and supportive services, we expect to reduce incarceration, hospitalization and homelessness for many of Colorado's most vulnerable citizens," the state said in announcing the program.

Mark Bolton, the senior legal deputy counsel to the governor who also manages marijuana issues, says the governor's office is focused on addressing four key issues with the marijuana tax money, and substance-abuse issues are part of that. "To the extent there's going to be increased substance-abuse treatment needed with increased marijuana use, we want to have funds available for those purposes," he says.

There will also be money set aside for K-12 education. When voters passed Amendment 64 in 2012, they did so with the understanding that extra tax money collected would go toward school funding, specifically to aid in school construction and upkeep. That's changing with this budget, though, as the money will now be used to help teachers and other areas of schooling that directly affect students.


The Department of Education will receive money from the Marijuana Tax Cash Fund for the School Health Professionals Grant Program: $9.7 million will go to local school districts, to add 150 health professionals at secondary schools who will provide education, universal screening, referral and care coordination for students with substance-abuse issues or other behavioral needs.
In addition to school funding, preventing youth from using marijuana is a priority for the governor. "We want to be able to use these funds to educate youth on the dangers and risks of marijuana use," Bolton says.


Multiple studies have confirmed that since legalization, youth use of marijuana has not increased in Colorado; some attribute that to increased education. Educational efforts will continue to be supported in this new budget, Bolton notes.
Another area of mental health addressed by the budget involves the criminal-justice system. The Department of Human Services is receiving $7.1 million from the Marijuana Tax Cash Fund to "end the use of jails for holding people who are experiencing a mental-health crisis," notes the governor's office. "These initiatives will help direct individuals with immediate mental-health and substance needs to more appropriate services outside the criminal-justice system."

I don't feel passionately either way on the pot legalization issue. Though, I don't think it's black/white as some people think.

As much as the pro-pot people like to pooh pooh it, I still think pot is "somewhat" of a gateway drug.

I do think we spend too much money punishing marijuana "criminals."

I guess I lean towards legalizing it, and taxing it, and educating people on the pros/cons.

 

[SgtLanquel]

Marijuana is of course a multi-billion dollar per year industry.

When criminal Prohibitions are removed, we are then able to craft a sensibly regulated (via combination of govt and private industry) system for both commercial production and distribution.

If Prohibition is maintained, the ONLY regulations are those created by and imposed by criminal producers and dealers.

Thus if one does not wholly endorse ending Prohibition you are providing a clear, defacto endorsement of criminal orgs completely controlling a multi-billion dollar industry.

One need not be either a consumer or even a financial investor in legal cannabis to recognize the clear and distinct differences between Prohibition and a sensibly regulated marketplace

Can't argue with the above...

lol. You must be a pro-legalization of marijuana for recreational use guy ?

on the flip side , with legalization you a defacto endorsement that a % of our youth will be collateral damage (as we are seeing in Colorado , medical community concerned) and to what extent,well...we shall see. With that said, EVERY TIME big pharma comes out with another drug we are conceding as a society a % the of pop will react poorly to the drug, some with significant side effects (esp drug to drug interactions, the young, the old..) and even death (medsnsince taken off the market ).

heck, in N America we STILL treat 'over active' kids with pills. We are a pill society. SSRI's are given to our youth--the anti- marijuana group ironically yells ;'it will affect the developig brain!!'. and ssri's? They need big pharma to back them up, make it as a pill and lots of neat commercials ...................................do you laugh or cry?

 

[SgtLanquel]

There is no need to arrest, imprison and burden 700,000 adults annually with a lifetime criminal record in some absurd hope we are "protecting youth".

If that were the best response available we would quite logically imprison adults for any and all use of the far more destructive and addictive drugs alcohol and tobacco.

But it's not, so we do not. And yes I know you (Richoff) are merely posing a few of the talking points for those who endorse 21st century Prohibition while not yourself suggesting they have merit when weighed against a sensibly regulated market similar to that employed for alcohol, tobacco and Rx pharm drugs

 

[Ricboff]

Dr Lanquel, was in your neck of the woods today. Bright and early, 6:00am as a participant at The Heart and Stroke Charity ride in beautiful downtown Toronto. DVP closed. As you likely know this event is one of the largest charity rides in N America . 18,000 registered participants for 2017, raising in excess of $6,000,000 for cardiac research. Not sure if all the folks braved the conditions; 10-12 degrees and rain. 3 hours of bloody rain, geez. My hands were fricken numb . So many people , different sizes , ages. Saw a few folks that had to be in their 70's, ........a few 8-10 yr olds riding with mom. One chap was on a unicycle- 75 km in rain on a unicycle? Probably Head of Psychiatry at Toronto General.... Anyway, great time...and of course shortly after the ride ends the skies clear, not a drop of rain......

 

[SgtLanquel]

Richoff, I am spending increased time using my dual citizenship to live in Florida renting cheap in my old buddy Barman's pool house but am pleased to see my fellow friends and neighbors up there in TOR still know how to throw a money making party

 

[SgtLanquel]

"so many people, different sizes and ages" is a hard hitting descriptor to make any journalism professor proud

Well said, I don't really like the guy but this is way over the top. Best would have been just to put him in a taxi but to show all the videos and reports is BS.
