WOULD YOU BLOODY BELIEVE IT….. I was pulled over once again on Friday around 1.30pm on Sydney road heading out of Melb. I thought I was fucked for good this time, as I’d been smoking spd that day and last hit was only one hour earlier.
Recognised the guy testing me so asked him if he had been on toorak rd last Friday night- answer: yes. Then he recognizes me. I ask how many drug buses there are in melb. Answer: one! Couldn’t help but laugh like a maniac. What are the chances ?!
As I sat there thinking about how the hell I was going to get where I was going & what story I’d have to make up, the test came up NEGATIVE.
Now, I have concluded that this could be due to one of either two things; the test is seriously flawed. (I asked and the officer said 48hrs is the window, but I’d been smoking it all day) OR perhaps the apple I just happened to be munching on at the time affected the results of the test.
I respect the fact that everyone has their own opinions on this topic, so I'm not going to start firing back. But I will say this, I believe myself to now be a responsible driver. Yes, I was younger and a whole lot stupider once, driving off my face and knowing full well I was. but I've woken up to the fact that i can kill inocent people and destroy peoples lives. so I now only drive when I believe I'm safe to. I think I'm the best judge of that, considering i know my body and have driven frequently in the past at both ends of the scale. If you disagree, I suggest you get the fuck off the road. (oops, maybe just a little fire)
In answer to some peoples questions about my initial drug bus encounter: First I was informed that I had tested positive for an illicit substance (the test given to me when first pulled over). Then I was told I had tested positive for ecstasy after the second saliva test I took in the van. Then further down the interview process I was told I’d tested positive for amphetamines/methamphetamines (not quite sure of which wording was used). It was more than likely due to the half a pill I’d consumed 5hrs before hand, but that’s a guess as I regularly use speed- to such an extent that I’d say traces of amphetamines would more than likely be present in my system 24hrs a day 7 days a week.
If I hadn’t been able to successfully provide enough saliva for the second test in the van, I was told that a nurse would be could in to take a blood sample. I even heard someone call in to have a nurse come to the van to take bloods from the person on the other side of the van.
I’m still awaiting the results of the lab test (they send the sample to a lab for testing) before I find out exactly what’s going to happen.
