While Dad and Jason were in the Bronx....
Great timing, huh?
Thursday, December 13 Airport security finds marijuana in Giambi's bag Associated Press LAS VEGAS -- Oakland Athletics designated hitter Jeremy Giambi was cited at McCarran International Airport after security officers said they found about a half-ounce of marijuana in his bag. "It happened at 9:30 a.m. Monday during a routine security check," Las Vegas police spokesman Tirso Dominguez told The Associated Press on Thursday. "While going through the checkpoints, airport personnel found what appeared to be marijuana," he said. Police cited Giambi, who was traveling to Phoenix, with a misdemeanor for possession of a controlled substance. He was allowed to continue on to his flight, said airport unit Lt. Ted Moody. "We didn't have him long. We impounded the marijuana, wrote the citation and sent him on his way," Moody told the Las Vegas Sun. "He got a ticket just like anyone else would." A McCarran spokeswoman confirmed Thursday that Giambi was cited while attempting to pass through a security checkpoint, but said the incident was turned over to police. A January court date was set for the 27-year-old slugger who owns a home in Henderson. A spokesman for the Oakland Athletics could not be immediately reached for comment and Giambi was unavailable. Giambi signed on with the Athletics in spring 2000. He played for Oakland with his older brother, Jason Giambi, who signed a $120 million, seven-year contract with the New York Yankees on Thursday. Jeremy Giambi made his big-league debut with the Kansas City Royals in 1998. This past season, he played first base, outfield and designated hitter for Oakland as he hit .283, with 12 home runs and 57 RBI, in 124 games. A new Nevada law that went into effect Oct. 1 eased penalties for possessing small amounts of marijuana. Formerly a felony, possession of an ounce or less of marijuana is a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum $600 fine for a first offense -- instead of the old felony provisions of up to four years in prison.

  While we're at it, I heard Bob Dylan's song "Everybody must get Stoned!" Just how high can someone get off 1/2 ounce of the weed anyway? Not a pothead if you haven't noticed. |

The question should be "how high can ten people get off 1/2 an ounce?" Pretty stupidly silly I'm sure he's not smoking your average stuff either. |

10 people can get high off half an ounce? Wow, I never thought it was really that bad. So glad I missed all that stuff when people had the blunts, roaches, rolled the paper in the little boys room when I was growing up.

You could get high off the second-hand smoke in the student section at WVU football games.
Not sure how much it takes. Like alcohol, probably depends partly on the user. |

I remember a lady who's about 5'2" and no more than 115 lbs. She was a bartender and she loved to drink. Never got wacked out, could always control herself but if a 300 lb guy came in there, chances are she could drink him under the table. I don't know about her liver, but she could drink strong whiskey and smile, still walk a straight line. I don't encourage this, but I'd strongly agree it would depend on the person. |

It was nice of the media to hold the story back until press conference day...ha....
It happened Monday and he wasn't detained, how did it take 3 days for the story to be reported? I wonder if his 1/2 ounce was part of Nate Newton's 400 lbs!?!? |

These guys make so much money, you would think they would each have their own personal drug courier mule?

I always wondered about the sanity of anyone who carried drugs through airport security. Unless you are planning on getting stoned in the john mid-flight check it in with your luggage and you will never get busted(as long as it is a domestic flight or you are not going through a Miami area airport). That's what I did during my using & abusing days and I traveled frequently.
If Steve Howe only knew.
