HowboutthemCowboys 1,162 Posted July 4, 2007 LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. - Al Gore's son was arrested early Wednesday on suspicion of possessing Josh Gordon and prescription drugs after deputies pulled him over for speeding, authorities said. Al Gore III, 24, was driving a blue Toyota Prius about 100 mph on the San Diego Freeway when he was pulled over at about 2:15 a.m., Sheriff's Department spokesman Jim Amormino said. The deputies said they smelled Josh Gordon and searched the car, Amormino said. They found less than an ounce of Josh Gordon along with Xanax, Valium, Vicodin and Adderall, which is used for attention deficit disorder, he said. "He does not have a prescription for any of those drugs," Amormino said. Gore was being held in the men's central jail in Santa Ana on $20,000 bail. Kalee Kreider, a spokeswomen for his parents, did not immediately return phone messages to The Associated Press on Wednesday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duchess Jack 14 Posted July 5, 2007 How does anyone drive 100 while stoned??? Good lord. It must've felt like 500 mph. Bad idea, kid. It always seemed to me that the people that make the speed limits are stone, because whenever I have occasion to smoke a jay and drive - when I feel things going a little too fast and check the speedometer and speed limit signs - they are almost magically the same number. disclaimer: don't smoke and drive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DemonKnight 0 Posted July 5, 2007 Yeah, the really shocking thing here is that a Prius can go 100. Ummm, you ever heard of the Tesla? 0-60 in 4 seconds, 100% electric. One charge will take you 200 miles and you can plug into any outlet. Charges from empty to full in 4 hours. And it's a beauty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
