And I don't even drink. I just got home, I went out to see a movie...it sucked LOL. Anyways on my way back I get a call asking for a ride (I'm a sober type 2.5 years). So I pick him up we drive home, on the way is a check point, no problem in fact the officer even commented on how drunk my friend was, seemed like a nice guy...he let us carry on. Well I drop my friend off and turn around to go back home. I have to go through the checkpoint in an opposite direction but why should I worry...I then hear the infamous ODOR word and I know I'm in for a problem. They ask me to pull over, next to all the drunks. No ossifer I hadn't been drinking kinda stuff and here is me. I pull in and a different officer starts to prepare for my test which I started to take and then a small group of LEOs come over amd explain that I am a "stoner" not a drinker. That's what they called me. I got searched, they find nothing and then I hear are there any drugs in your pants, no way LOL. Well I got strip searched, I think, I had to remove my jeans so you tell me. Meanwhile my car is being searched without my permission, they even popped the trunk. I told them NO WAY. Answer I got was "idiots like you lose their rights when they do drugs and drive". At this point I am annoyed not even scared. Well bingo they found the motherload, 2 rolling papers from who knows when and stems...I never saw either that's what I was told. So off to be processed, I get their and I am administered a breath test, I blow a big fat 0. Officer tells me where to sit and that someone will drive me to my car in a moment. % minutes later a nurse type tells me I have to give blood. I think they may have messed up, I had to sign a form and when I signed the form I was told there were 3 options to determine if I was under the influence..pee, blood, or breath. Officer gets to pick one, I sigend the form before for a breathalizer, that's what the officer picked for me before the small group came oevr and told him I was a stoner LOL. Then again at the station I was given a breathalizer, I never signed a form for a blood test. Officer gets to choose one test and he chose breathalizer. So I put up a minor fight about my blood but I was told to TAKE IT. I think they may have pulled something on me there, and this is what frustrates me what if they did? Can I prove it?
As of this moment I am not under arrest pending the blood test for THC. Officer told me if my THC level was above the legal limit I would get a DUI. I said what's the legal limit his answer was since it's an illegal drug any amount will get you the DUI. I said but I could have smoked a month ago, he said yep you could have. He also lectured me on how the slightest level of THC will impair someone for weeks. As long as it's in the blood you are impaired. LOL are you kidding me, I'm getting a lecture from a guy who doesn't know squat about MJ and I know a lot...not to brag but I do. Well my blood is going to be loaded with THC so I expect to be charged. Can't talk to my lawyer till Monday. I also was surprised that all they had to say was odor and they could search my car even the trunk...I think this maybe a problem for them. But I am not sure. I wasn't imp[aired and I don't drink and this is my help, one officer even put it that way...they would get me help. Sure take away one of the things that keeps me from drinking thanks for the help.
I feel totally violated, I gave KEO my blood and all I did tonight was try and help a friend. This is out of the blue and I am convinced one hundred and ten percent that THEY CAN AND WILL DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO BUST YOU. I drove through an alcohol checkpoint sober and as a designated driver and I get arrested...*** this is AMERICA and it was an alcohol checkpoint. One lesson I have learned well 2 cut my hair and shave. I got totally played and profiled, an odor my arse. I am so angry right now...stupid stupid stupid. My friend is going to feel so guilty. On a side note I got mocked when I was asked why I was out, "I went to a movie and then drove a drunk friend home". Sad thing was not 50 feet away was the officer who let me pass the first time through. They looked hard and it didn't feel very chckpointish to me. I am scared to death that their help may lead to some falling off the wagon and I'm scared, I am going to have to pee once a month, this is how they help me. Had I been smoking a joint in the car sure but not what happened it's not alright not at all.
