Al Gore's Son Arrested for Pot Possession

WASHINGTON - The son of former vice president and 2000 Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore (news - web sites) has been charged with marijuana possession.

Albert A. Gore III, 21, was arrested Friday night after he was stopped for driving a vehicle without its headlights on.

Two passengers were also arrested and charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession. They were identified as Yann V. Kumin, 21, and Marc G. Hordon, 22, both of Cambridge, Mass.

A Montgomery County, Md., police officer stopped the car, a dark-colored Cadillac, in Bethesda, a Washington suburb, around 11:30 p.m. Friday.

The officer noticed the car's windows and sunroof were open, despite cold temperatures Friday night. There was also a smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle, according to a news release from the police department.

A search of the vehicle turned up a partial marijuana cigarette, a cigarette box containing suspected marijuana, and a soft drink can that also smelled of marijuana.

All three were released pending trial.

In September 2002, the younger Gore was ticketed for driving under the influence. He was pulled over and ticketed by military police just outside Fort Myer in suburban Virginia, but was not taken into custody.

In the summer of 2000, Gore was cited by the North Carolina Highway Patrol for driving 97 mph in a 55-mph zone. Under an agreement with prosecutors, a reckless driving charge was dropped in the North Carolina case, but he was fined $125 for speeding and his driving privileges in the state were suspended.

Yes, a stoner with an A average is an idiot.
A stoner with a college degree is an idiot.
A stoner that graduated with honors is an idiot.
A stoner with a double doctorate from MIT is an idiot.

In fact, I think I can say flatly, all stoners are idiots.

You know why? Cause being a stoner is A) illegal, and B) stupid.

Who are "they"? In my opinion, it is not a gateway drug. I know a lot of kids that have smoked weed for a long time and have never tried other drugs, or who smoke weed and have tried other drugs but never continued to use them. If you say it is a gateway drug because some people who smoke weed do go on to do worse drugs, then is alcohol a gateway drug? Every kid I know who smokes weed drank before they smoked, so does that make alcohol a gateway drug?

Took the words right out of my mouth.

For someone who is not in the "drug culture" as im assuming Albinonewt isnt it seems hard for them to not beleive what they have heard from "experts" their whole life and no matter how many peoepl with true experience tell them the truth they wont believe it so theres really no point in trying to explain it.

I was waiting for one of you two to spout this effing garbage.

You want "true experience"?

I was 16 when my older brother Gary killed himself. He was a stoner too, apparently like the two of you seem to be. He was a smart guy, got straight A's and B's in school. Never even got into too much trouble. He smoked pot for a few years and then decided apparently that he wasn't getting high enough anymore. Started using cocaine pretty heavily and then moved on to herion. When they found him he had enough of that crap in him to kill a dozen people.

Not bad enough for you? still think it's effing cool? Still think that weed isn't a big deal?

November 6th 2002. I lost my younger brother Eric to suicide. He smoked pot pretty heavily for years. Smart guy too, very creative made movies, and made everyone laugh. The note he left me was 3 pages of his addiction to weed. Couldn't quit, couldn't afford to buy it, couldn't live in the shame and anger he apparently got very very good at hiding from the rest of us.

So don't sit there and tell me that someone "who isn't in the drug culture" doesn't know what they're talking about.

I'd slap you silly but I doubt that it would make any difference.

grow up kid, you'll live a lot longer that way.

Well im sorry for what happened to ur bothers but thats not what happens to everyone that smokes some peoepl have more problems with addiction then others im not one of those people. Im not going to lie to you and tell you weeds the only thing ive done i have tried other stuff but frankly i dont like putting stuff up my nose or in my arm I dont liek the high your get from pills and most of those drugs cost way too much for me so i choose to stear clear. I liek the high i get from weed and i know i can quit any time i want because i have stoped many times when it was needed or i had to buy something more important(mostly food). You dont get phisicly addicted to weed because THC stays in your system so long and gradually goes out that it regulates your cravings so the only addiction is mental. So just because ur bothers had extremly bad experiences with weed doesnt mean that everyone or that the majority will. Remember its the ones you dont hear about that are the good exampals.

Just so you know i've never smoked anything, not even a cigarette, and have never drank either. However, transman is right that it's only the bad examples you hear about. Many people are also killed every year because of alcohol and even more are injured, but it is still legal. I will admit that most of the people I know who smoke weed aren't exactly excelling in school, but I also know that about half of the kids in the advanced courses at my high school had at some point tried or did smoke weed. I don't know about the kids at my college, but it seems like most just drink. Anyway, i'm not exactly for it being legalized, but I also don't believe a lot of the reasons why people say it is so bad.

Oh, then I guess it isn't so, since you've said it.

I know a lot of kids that have smoked weed for a long time and have never tried other drugs, or who smoke weed and have tried other drugs but never continued to use them.

And I know people that tried it and quit. And I know people that let drugs destroy their lives, and I know people that got high one night and decided to try dodging trains. The fact that you know a handful of people that tried it and survived doesn't make it smart or safe. My father has been in 3 wars and he's alive. Does that mean war isn't dangereous?

If you say it is a gateway drug because some people who smoke weed do go on to do worse drugs, then is alcohol a gateway drug?

Sort of, but not exactly the same, since alcohol tends to lead to more alochol and one kind isn't really that different then the next. They are all the same basic ingredient but at different levels of potency. Different drugs ARE very different and do different things.

Every kid I know who smokes weed drank before they smoked, so does that make alcohol a gateway drug?

Every kid I know had a big wheels before they smoked weed, does that make it a gateway method of transportation?

And it basically is. A kid that drinks underage is more prone to other forms of illegal and risky behavior.

Well you know what they say about assumption. It makes you look like an idiot when you're so wrong it causes physical damage. Why don't you ask my parole officer how much I do or don't know about the drug culture.

Boy, the stories you read about drugs are mine and the people I grew up. I've learned from personal experience in addition to reading on the subject. Oh, and as an added bonus I married a drug chemist for the state police, so don't presume to lecture me on the drug culture.

Why is it a "gateway" drug?

Well most users don't jump straight into crack and heroin. They usually start slower!:rolleyes: Now it is very true that not all pot users become hardcore drug users. However most hard core drug users started with pot.

Guys,
We've discussed this before. I was under the impression we came to a pseudo truce with regards to the whole pot thing.
My personal belief is firmly with the idea that Alcohol does more damage that pot ever will. That's my belief.
So as I swill my Bass Ale, I will accept the conditions of the situation.

Yeah, I have my opinions that are similar, and everyone else has their own. I'm not going to debate this because I have said my opinion and that's all there is to it.
