On this week’s Weird and Wacky Wednesday we look at the unbelievable plans of people trying to get away with crime. Nobody wants to get caught but when you have a poorly thought-out plan or don’t weigh the pros and cons of your actions, you will probably end up in the news like these folks.
For most people who are investigated for impaired driving by drugs, the case goes like this: the individuals are pulled over for some sort of a traffic violation. The officer forms a suspicion that they have a drug in their body, or they smell burnt cannabis, or the driver admits smoking pot a few hours earlier. The officer engages in some sobriety tests, including a saliva test that is supposed to correlate the amount of THC in your saliva to a blood THC concentration.
But what if I told you that even if THC is found in your blood, it might not accurately reflect how impaired you are?
The connection between how much THC is in your system and how impaired you are doesn’t follow a predictable pattern.

Dogs are wonderful. Humans can be awful. Wild animals are predictable when you start with the foundational assumption that they are wild and therefore they’re not going to behave in any manner that is completely predictable. But the important thing here, again, is that humans can be awful and, in fact, they may behave in a manner that is completely unpredictable. This week we have stories of horses, sheep, a snake and awful humans.
