July 04,2007 | LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. -- Al Gore's son was arrested early Wednesday on suspicion of possessing marijuana 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 marijuana and searched the car, Amormino said. They found less than an ounce of marijuana along with Xanax, Valium, Vicodin and Adderall, which is used for attention deficit disorder, he said.

But it was in a PRIUS!

Meaning
(1) anyone who's worried about whether or not a hybrid can go fast can rest assured.*

And

But Xanax AND Valium?


Maybe it's true and marijuana DOES make you .. uh, what's the word?... uhh ... oh, yeah... dumb.

* I wonder how many MPG a Prius gets doing 100 MPH.
My Volvo gets around 24 MPG at my usual 75 - 85.
