This post should have that "Oh God! Not this again...." But I'd be copying someone else to put it here.

George Michael gets 8 weeks jail for drug driving

Here's the hysteria...

District Judge John Perkins told the singer he had taken a "dangerous and unpredictable mix" of prescription drugs and marijuana.
It wasn't the pot that caused the crash. Don't know what those prescription drugs were, but if it was, say, valium or something like that, that'd be far, far more likely to cause a crash - especially if abused.

But wait, there's more!!

"It does not appear that you took proper steps to deal with what is clearly an addiction to cannabis," the judge said. "That's a mistake which puts you and, on this occasion, the public at risk."
WILL THIS EVER, EVER STOP????????????

Marijuana addiction? If the fact that this is being shoved up everyone's asses wasn't so tragic, stupid, misinformed and just plain wrong, I'd be :rofl: over it. But as it is, it really makes me want to cry.


According to police, Michael appeared "spaced out" when they found him sitting in the car, whose engine was still running, in the wee hours of July 4. He acknowledged smoking marijuana and taking a prescription sedative, prosecutors said.
Yep, a sedative.
