Thats fucking genius. If you need me, I will be outside getting high.

The junkie-starlet move. Good call.

I think the term is dumb luck

No, no, no, a thousand times no....

By getting caught with weed, the judge is probably going to give him a harsher initial sentence, negating any benefit of the "loophole".

On the down side, you get longer terms if you giggle while the judge is reading the sentence.

OJ just called Nate Newton for da hook up.
(is Newton still in jail?)

i had no idea potheads would even be able to look up something like that much less remember it.

I heard that he was going to cheat on his taxes, rape a nun, and then murder someone now to try and reduce it four-fold..then he ran out of ideas.

Does booze count?

This is why you should never listen to sports radio - some yahoo in San Antonio speculates about some bullshit "loophole" and next thing you know, shit like this is posted.

@TheStarterWife: It's weird to think the "rehab" defense works after you're convicted. Usually celebs go to "rehab" before the conviction, hoping for leniency.

@TheStarterWife: yeah, but it probably doesn't wash because:

a) he's not white and female
b) this applies in a state other than California.

These Ron Mexico photoshops really are worth a DSHOF automatic induction. Just saying.

When is smoking weed not beneficial?

"Proving once again what we already knew: Michael Vick is smarter than everyone."

Except that he got caught killing dogs and organizing a dog fighting operation that on a good day could net him maybe 1/6000 of his already extensive net worth.

yeah he's one smart dude.

we have finally figured out what we will do Friday night. We're gonna make sure we smoke as much weed as possible.

fixed.

I bet Vick knows where Hoffa is buried?

Rae Carruth tried this but a year off forever is still a long time.

@The Fan's Attic: Perhaps that is all part of the plan. But first he needs an addition to go to rehab for. So, for the next few weeks, Vick will be smoking A LOT...then off to a seaside rehab resort!

I found my cat high as a kite this morning, rolling around in a ginormous pile of catnip that he had pilfered from a (apparently not) secure hiding spot.

Michael Vick hates dogs, my cat hates dogs, and now both are high. Coincidence?

By the power of the transitive property in effect here, I shall now go search my apartment for the dead dogs that my cat has surely hidden in the potted plants.

he pulled a Homer

@MerryLander: Next thing you know, Vick will be claiming he is suffering from Donovan McNabb, er, I mean exhaustion.

@MerryLander: +1

From the actual law: "...the sentence MAY be reduced by the Bureau of Prisons...". It isn't automatic. I'm not a criminal law guy, but I'm applying my now-decade-and-a-half-old knowledge of it to state that this would only come up (a) during a post-sentencing sentence review by the BoP, (b) at the first parole opportunity, and (c) would be a factor to consider, not an automatic reduction. This is to allow someone who's otherwise a law-abiding citizen, but who got really stoned and stole a car, to earn his way out of his full sentence by cleaning up. I'm talking out of my ass here, but I'm guessing this is only applied by the BoP if the drug abuse problem is or could have been considered to be a source of the prisoner's original law-breaking nature. Or if the prison is too crowded and they want to get rid of people. The BoP is like that, I think...

If Vick really wants to cut time off of his sentence he should donate a large sum of money to the Republican National Committee.

@Dave Ryan: Forgot: dick joke!

Ron MENSA-co?

Ookie: he'll beat you with his feet on the gridiron, and his brain in the courtroom.

He's smart like a Fox*

*a stoned fox...who electrocutes dogs...

Johnnie Cochran says If you get high, you will not fry

@ithacabaron: +1

Check the closet. My cat chases shit under the closet door all the time, like toys and bottlecaps and dead dogs.

Ookie Is No Dummy

Objection.

So if Vick initially gets a nine-month sentence, and he reduces it by a year, can he put Joey Harrington in jail for three months?

"Your honor...do you have any cheetos or anything? I got the munchies, bad."

@Fios: amen.

Did anyone link to that consultant sight that claims to make your prison life easier? I need to take a silkwood shower after checking that one out. wow.

Is the Royal We even shaving, yet, let alone able to grow a porn-stache?

I love it when non-lawyers explain the law.

Michael Vick's attorney is smarter than everyone.

/fixed

@Reasonable Doubt for a Reasonable Price: I hate it when non-lawyers explain the law to my clients, though.

I hate it when my clients used to be lawyers so they "know what they're doing" when they sign stupid contracts.

Next we will find out he will get a ticker tape parade for giving a chick herpes

@Dave Ryan: Dude, I read on this sports blog that if I smoke a bunch of weed I can get a lower sentence. So I've been like a chimney; just trying to help you out in getting me off.

What if the reason your in trouble is for weed? And Jackfruit potheads know every loophole and way around things. Not to mention pothead-enginuity... Go to any stoner website and look at all the gadgets we have. Yes and I mold the future minds of America =)

A dude I know was going to try to use this loophole, but then he like totally forgot to show up to court that day. Man.

@ithacabaron: Are you sure your cat isn't Michael Vick? I mean, have you ever seen them in the same place at the same time? Does your cat have herpes?

@Colorado Handball Runner-up:
This reminds me of an episode of COPS I saw where two dudes got pulled over for blowing a stop sign or something and the cops ended up finding some weed on them (because the car reeked of weed). One of the dudes tried to explain that some people actually function better behind the wheel when they're stoned.

@ILoveIt:

touche

he's just practicing for the pole he will be smoking in the federal lock up.

@PenskeMaterial: You're friends with Shawne Williams?

@PeteJäyhawk™: Can we leave The Lone Star State alone for the rest of the day? Still recovering from the TAMU debacle and the Texans/Falcons game only rated one Throwgasm.

Sally jenkins approves this message

Nice quote in the Washington Post today Will

That reminds me of the old wives tale, that if you get pulled over for DWI, take a bottle of liquor and chug it as the cops are coming up to your car. They won't know if you were drunk beforehand, so a jury will not give you a DWI.
