First, Whether you like it or not pot is illegal and whiskey is not. Second, Salter should have known better, if you are going to smoke just stay home. Third, he should have known he had to be a good citizen after his last run in with the law. Lastly, how stupid do you have to be to drive around at 3 am without a license, no tail lights and a dark cover over license plate.
I've no idea where Salter lived before the Stokely event but I wonder if he "chose" to move out of university housing after that incident.I hate that this has happened and that he made the choices he made. I’m surprised that he was allowed to live off campus this early. What was the line of thinking there? No way in hell I would’ve ever made it as an 18 year old in Knoxville in an off campus environment. I barely did from 20-22
Thank you for sharing. Not easily done, I’m sure. Glad your life is better now. You’ve certainly offered a “sobering“ perspective.Maybe to you it should be. And, 3 or so years ago I would’ve agreed… but as “harmless” as some think it is, I can tell you, in my case, it’s wasn’t. I smoked regularly, for about 10 years. But one day things changes. And it led to a complete psychotic break, during which I had to be hospitalized….I’m talking hearing voices/sounds that weren’t there, extreme paranoia/confusion, and just not being in my right mind….
Up until that point I was a pro-weed guy through-and-through. That was me and my wife’s way of relaxing at night. While hospitalized (at Vanderbilt) my wife and I were tested for other drugs, but there was nothing else in our systems (it wasn’t “laced”), and it only happened to me (not her). This was about 3 years ago and neither of us have taken part since.
I know this probably isn’t a ‘norm’, and I’m going to get hate from all of the pro-weed people, but I don’t care. I’m not lying. Up until that point I was a “pothead”, smoking every day.
This is the first time I’ve shared what happened to me publicly, but I feel like I need to stop acting like it didn’t happen. So anyone else who experienced this doesn’t feel alone, and so that others know that it’s not “completely harmless”. If you do a bit of research you’ll find that my case is not isolated. Yes, my story doesn’t happen to most people, but to me and others it has.
