that is most definetely not (no well in hell) rape. that is definetely not rape. i surely hope none of the parties involved is considering ruining that guys life with a rape charge over something like that. i dont care if she was intoxicated, she still consented. if it was consent made without a clear mind, its still consent, she still chose to smoke it. i wouldnt care if the other person was high unless they were clearly "gone",
that is utter bull**** about what she said about not being able to say stop. COMPLETE BULL****. i feel so sorry for that guy. ive been extremely high on weed and i was completely able to talk. OMG! i really hope that guy (u said he was a nice guy) doesnt go to jail for this i. i mean yea she may be hurt because she might regret it, and its bad that she feels hurt. but if this guy goes to jail he will get raped everyday in prison (and i mean real rape, not this consensual stuff) for the rest of his life.
weed doesnt take away the ability to talk. if she just couldnt say "stop", its not rape, u cant expect everyone to be able to read each others mind. thinking "i want him to stop" is not the same as saying stop. if she said stop and he continued, it would be rape, but she didnt .
if this goes to court, i sure hope im on the jury to save this guy.
i have better judgement when im high on weed than when im even slightly drunk............
im sorry this happened to the girl as well. i hope she feels better and all. but i really hope she doesnt start claiming this is rape (unless there is more to the story). its a regret, but rape is a VERY strong word. rapists are very sick and twisted people who should be locked away for life. and this story does not begin to even halfway do justice to how bad real rape can be.
a regret is a regret, its not rape.
sorry if i offended anyone, but this is my opinion.
EDIT: u dont lose conciousness on weed unless u willingly fall asleep. and unlike when i was drunk: i can vividly remember every time i have been high on weed. i know its bad that she regrets it , but ask yourself: would he deserve to spend life in prison where (since he is young and you said he was a "nice guy") go to prison where he willl suffer true rape by ugly criminals for many years?
rape should not be treated as a traffic offense where there is gray area and there may be disagreement over weather or not your car is parked at exactly the right area. in a traffic ticket case, it may be morally acceptable for their to be disagreements such as : "officer, my speedometer said....." . because in this case their is only a few hundred dollars and license points at stake. rape shouldnt be treated like that because the cases outcome could ruin someones life!
