Man Who Fell on Subway Tracks, "Only Smoked A Little Bit of Weed" at Hempfest



If you missed it, top left at about the :27 second mark.

Universal Hub - Red Line service was briefly halted Saturday night when a man dropped onto the tracks at Park Street - just as a train was pulling into the station. The train driver was able to stop the train before hitting him; he then got up and climbed up onto the center platform, with the help of a T worker. According to an MBTA Transit Police report: As I spoke with [the man], he seemed to be alert but confused. {he} stated, "I don't really know what happened. I think I tripped and the next thing I knew I was in the pit with a train coming towards me. {he} stated, "I had come from the HempFest but had only smoked a little bit of weed."

At least he didn't block the door for people exiting the train...he's got a leg up on 75% of the tards regularly riding the train.

Stoners everywhere have to be pissed at this guy. Nothing  discredits the legalize it campaign worse than falling onto the subway tracks and blaming the weed. Just nine times out of 10 that's going to get you bad publicity. 

Has anyone else always been confused about the legality of Hempfest? What's the deal here? We've got Mayor Menino over here banning sugary drink throughout the city, and once a year everyone is allowed to travel into town and toke up on the common? This makes 0 sense. Is it just a strength in numbers thing? Like if 1000's of potheads come in its just too much for the cops so they just let it go? I just don't get it, Menino continues to confuse me. Somehow Bruins fans gathering at the Garden to celebrate the Stanley Cup clinching game is worse than a bunch of stoner brats (and yea, I'm going to say a fair amount are just high school brats who think this is "wicked cool"), high as fuck just falling on train tracks left and right.  Last I checked no drunk Bruins, Sox, Pats fans took a digger on the third rail recently. 

Zero sense.
