WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - June 15, 2007 -- Pot can be hazardous to your health -- especially if you try to swallow your stash.
Police in Wichita, Kansas, report pulling over a driver and noticed the young man was apparently choking on a large baggie.
Police spokesman Gordon Bassham says officers tried the Heimlich maneuver but it didn't work.
As the man was passing out, Bassham says one of the officers reached into his throat and pulled out the plastic bag.
The 20-year-old was arrested for pot possession and a passenger was busted, too.
