Jason Cantrell, New Orleans Attorney, Allegedly Drops Joint In Court, Promptly Resigns
10/03/2012 A city prosecutor in New Orleans, La., was given a summons this week after a joint allegedly fell out of his pocket in court -- while he was chatting with a police officer. According to WDSU.com, assistant city attorney Jason Cantrell was in Orleans Parish Magistrate on Monday when a marijuana cigarette fell out of his pocket and onto the floor. A police spokesman says Cantrell had been talking to an NOPD officer at the time. Officers were seen chuckling as their colleagues led Cantrell out of the courtroom about 4:15 p.m. to write him up. Cantrell, 43, was reportedly "cited and let go under a city policy for low-level marijuana cases." Police say Cantrell was a first-time offender. Read more: huffington post |

They should cut this guy some slack and only punish him the same as the worst sentence he ever got for somebody he prosecuted for a similar charge.
Probably needs to be brought up on resale too. "Prove you weren't!!"

I'm surprised by your response, Blackfox. I figured you to demand that his record be compared to all the non-weedhead DAs to prove how beneficial an addictive, disease-causing and mind-altering substance can be.

"Disease causing"? Please elaborate and cite your sources.

Marijuana smoke contains many of the same constituents as tobacco smoke... Prior studies of marijuana smokers have demonstrated consistent evidence of airway mucosal injury and inflammation7 - 9 as well as increased respiratory symptoms such as cough, phlegm production, and wheeze, similar to that seen in tobacco smokers...It is possible that cumulative damage to the lungs from years of marijuana use could be masked by short-term effects; prior analyses have not attempted to disentangle these factors. Smoking marijuana is increasingly common in the United States,14 and understanding whether it causes lasting damage to lung function has important implications for public health messaging and medical use of marijuana. Although our sample contained insufficient numbers of heavy users to confirm a detrimental effect of very heavy marijuana use on pulmonary function...
Yes, Doctor Thyme....

If you were a cigarette smoker, and you only smoked one or two cigarettes a day, you would probably be ok.

They don't call it "chronic" for nothing.

Goes to show that amount is on the high end of MJ users. Cigarettes, not so much. Sort of like comparing the person that has glass of wine with dinner to the wino under the bridge. |
