Victim in DUI crash was Denver marijuana activist Jennifer Friede

Victim in DUI crash was Denver marijuana activist Jennifer Friede
denverpost.com

A woman killed by a suspected drunken driver heading the wrong way on Interstate 25 has been identified as Jennifer Friede, a longtime Denver-area marijuana activist.

The Denver medical examiner's office said Friede, 34, of Broomfield, was a passenger in a vehicle headed northbound in the high-occupancy vehicle lane near Park Avenue West early Saturday when it was struck by a vehicle traveling south.

Denver police arrested the driver of the wrong-way car, Rebecca Maez, 27, on suspicion of DUI and vehicular homicide. Friede's boyfriend, Jeremy DePinto, was driving the car and also suffered injuries. The couple were headed home from a concert about 1 a.m.

"I saw her coming, and you get that little blur, for a second, of disbelief," DePinto said Wednesday, as friends prepared to gather for a celebration of Friede's life. "Once I realized it was happening, I looked to the left and right and realized we were trapped. I veered to the left, and she veered into me."

In 2009, Edgewater police arrested Maez for DUI, speeding in a construction zone and driving while her license was under restraint, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. Jail records show she remains in the Downtown Denver Detention Center on $80,000 bond.

Friede was known as Jenny Kush, who advocated for the expansion of access to marijuana, DePinto said.

"She was trying to end the oppression over it," DePinto said. "We'd rally at the Capitol the last Saturday of every month for years, trying to tell people that cannabis is safer than alcohol. It's ironic that it was an uninsured drunk driver that killed her."

DePinto described Friede as a talented artist and dessert chef who had four children, ages 16, 12, 10, and 6.

"She was a pretty passionate woman," DePinto said. "She shone brighter than pretty much anyone."

Rest in peace, Jenny, and thank you. Hope your children grow up in a world which you influenced.

RIP

Crazy that I read this story the same day a guy posted a youtube video admitting guilt to driving drunk on the wrong side of the road and killing someone.

not advocating against marijuana but driving really high can be just as bad, and worse when combined with both.

Do you have a source for that?

Most studies show that driving high on marijuana is nearly as safe as driving sober, and the difference in crashes is not very large.  At least one study concluded that driving high was safer than driving sober. 

It really depends on the driver, some people drive more safely, carefully and slowly when high, others drive recklessly on the same drug at the same dose.

This. Every time I've had to drive somewhere after smoking, I've found myself taking a long time to work up to the 55 mph speed limit and slowing down early for stop signs. Riding with people who have been drinking is a little different story.

Many times I have been in the car when a stoned driver waits for a stop sign to turn green.  It is more funny than dangerous though....That is generally the worst thing they do.

Can we all agree not to drink and drive? That is the point. Not whether or not smoking a bowl sobers you up(!) or how overly cautious stoned drivers are. The point is drinking and driving is dangerous, irresponsible, and careless. I don't mean that beer on the way home from work, I mean that beer on the way home from the 18 beers at the lake.

This is just terribly ironic, in the most tragic of ways. Someone who promoted Cannabis to be safer than alcohol...only to be killed by a drunk driver.

Sigh....when will this world wake up?
