Ironic will be when that shark eats one of the surfers who helped it.

Because most people would expect the shark to be the one saving the life of the surfer, DUH!

Someone needed to slap the shiat out of the moron that was dragging it farther onto the beach. Big ol' kudos to the guys that got the hook out and sent it on its way.

OTOH, true story:

In my senior year of high school at Sarasota Sr, High, I took a marine biology course.

It was fun, in that we had multiple field trips to the beach and a cool teacher, Mr. Harrington.

At one time during the course, some recent surfer grads came running up to the school one day with a baby tiger shark and popped it into one of the tanks in Mr. Harrington's classroom, as they had been his students the year before. As it turned out, they had been surfing and one of their boards had hit this baby shark and stunned it. They "rescued" it and brought it in.

true story:

I was in Costa Rica on the beach watching the amazing surfers catching really big waves. I had just smoked a fat joint and was thinking to myself "I have not been this stoned in a long, long time" All of a sudden I heard two surfers yelling "help us, help us" in Spanish and waving for me to come over to them while they were dragging what looked like a very large shark out of the surf. As I ran over there thinking everyone was laughing at the way I was running (simply because I was really high). I got closer and saw it wasnt a shark, but a guy who had turned bluish gray in the water. He was unconscious, but had a pulse. I had just finished a CPR course in college and the two surfer guys began giving him CPR. When they began administering mouth to mouth to him, the guy puked, but the surfers just blew the puke back into his lungs and didnt turn his head sideways to clean it out. I was siting on the side thinking "they are doing it wrong", but I was so stoned, I couldnt get the words out nor the straight headedness to jump in and try to rectify what they were doing incorrectly. The guy died in front of his two daughters and wife.

So, just because the surfers in California know how to save the life of a shark on the beach, dont count on them knowing how to save a fat guy's life in Costa Rica.

I havent smoked weed, done a drug or drank alcohol since 98 because of this- no lie You never know when you need to have your best judgement available-- You could be vacation chilling ont he most relaxing beach in the world- a world away from your troubles-- thinking it is the perfect time to smoke a blunt and chill and then Bam! Someone's life is depending on you.

How is that for a downer?

Let's put that into perspective. A man says he got to stoned to help save a life in a country where getting stoned is legal. He says he no longer smokes weed, but then says he thinks it should be legal so others have the freedom to make their own decisions. I would say the man can handle his shiat just perfectly.

Don't blame weed for that. Sounds like a problem that started when your mama met your daddy.

poe_zlaw: true story:

I've never been too stoned to act. You said yourself that you ran over there, so you weren't baked in to paralysis. I'm not trying to be cruel, but since you'd only done a course and had never used the knowledge before how can you be sure it was the weed alone and not a combination of inexperience, fear and weed, or one of those factors alone? Blaming it solely on one of the things in the mix isn't really sound. Maybe you would freeze in that type of situation whether you were stoned or not and blaming it on weed makes it a bit easier to deal with?

People like you a giant morons. If he felt that being stoned off his rocker left him unable to do anything then that is likely what happened. Just because YOU have never been too stoned to function doesn't mean it can't happen to some people. I've been baked into near unconsciousness before...to the point I didn't realize the apartment upstairs was on fire and the firefighters were trying to get everyone out of the building. They were banging on my apartment door which I was sitting next to and I didn't even know or realize. They saw me through the window, busted it, and carried me out because they thought I had smoke inhalation.

That was also when I decided to quit smoking weed and haven't since. Weed affects everyone differently just like alcohol affects everyone differently. It is a pretty mature thing to say "You know what, I can't make reasonable decisions with this drug in my body, so I'm not going to do it." If you can handle it, kudos to you and to each their own. To be snarky about someone else and their choice just makes you an ass.
 
2011-09-28 09:19:44 AM
the point is a guy tells a story and learns a lesson from it, but is still objective enough to let everyone else make their own decisions regarding using drugs. And people like you, who act like they know everything, always have something better to say. Had he told a story about watching someone die because he was so stoned he screwed up the first aid he was administering, I am sure you would be the first person to say "I am a trained first aider and have used it several times. I can say without a doubt that being stoned and giving first aid is not smart and the outcome is what you should have expected." or something of the like.
It wouldnt have been a post about how he shouldnt blame weed. Or had the man said "I watched one dude die because I was too stoned to do anything about and then smoked another joint", I doubt your response would have been what it was. The point you should discern is that it is okay to not try to make yourself look smarter or more in control than the other guy. I know it is hard with your tiny ego, but I promise- it's okay. - no matter how many times you want people to think you are a hero.

Holy thread-jack Batman...

So....just stopped by to say this is not at all surprising. I've found surfers to be some of the most caring conservationists out there. The older the surfer, the more they love the ocean and ocean life. As a kid living is southern Cali I learned as much from them as I did my earth science teacher...
