Need to check out recent brain mapping studies on
weed. For those with anything but an illness that be
helped by it, otherwise pretty much a negative.
You can say the same about alcohol and the effects it has on the liver, heart disease, blood pressure, and the brain as well.
I don't smoke weed and now rarely drink more than a couple of beers a week and every once in a while, will have a mixed drink. There is too much speculation about what happened and a rush to convict Hunt in the court of public opinion without knowing any facts other than this limited story.
Can anyone answer whether or not Hunt has been using pot? Other than speculation?
How long was the backpack in the car? Was the person that owned the backpack in the car with Hunt? Where was he coming from? (perhaps the gym) Where was he going? Maybe going to church for a charity event.
What I see is a lot of paradigms being displayed based on a story that was about 2 paragraphs long where the accused was released by police with no charges for possession, no OWI/DUI, etc. Because of his past, everyone is set to rush in with claims that he is out of control, getting high, going to strip clubs, and his closest friends are all thugs. How would you like to be judged that way based on some of your past stupid actions - forever.
The environment he grew up in was documented as not being, shall we say - ideal? I just can't put myself in the position of judging a guy based on what I read. It could be a hint that he is not making good decisions. From what we can probably deduce is that he did not fight with the cops about being put in the back of the cruiser while they searched his car, did not become unruly or abusive, did not appear to the cops to be under the influence, and the owner of the weed must have convinced police that it was the truth. They would have known his prior arrests and would have been on high alert for him to have committed a crime other than speeding.
