Do you think smoking marijuana should be a jailable offense? It was. I don't know if it still is. Is it a "crime" in your opinion? Why?

    It would be annoying for some people in public because it stinks! It is worse than a room full of cigarettes. My job requires that I be drug-tested. If I were exposed to a bunch of that smoke, I might lose my job! Some of these drug tests are very sensitive.

    I am not aware of ever smelling it bh. What does it smell like? I think regular cigarette smoke stinks and smokers stink too. How is the stench/stink from smoking marijauna different from the stench/stink of regular cigarettes? Thank you for your reply!  :)

    Marijuana smell has been compared to 'burning rope'.  I have not smelled any burning rope  lately, but I guess hemp is related to marijuana. It is a very strong smell and it is easy for cops to detect it. That's why smokers often burn incense to cover up the smell indoors.

    Here it is a minor misdemeanor if you only have a few joints and are not driving. The cop will usually just take it tell you to get lost, then will take the weed for himself. Driving: you get an OVI, operating a vehicle incapacitated. Very big deal.

    Ignorant am I about that Ele. What is a 'joint"? One cigarette? Are they the size of a regular cigarette? Thank you for your reply! :)

    No, I never understood why it's considered a crime if people are allowed to drink alcohol. Probably shouldn't be operating a vehicle while doing it though, just like with drinking.

    I totally agree with thee Patch. Though I am not familiar with smoking marijuana. I'm not a smoker of anything. But I am familiar with the effects of alcohol and as long as you know your limit and NEVER DRIVE while under the influence it shouldn't be a crime. Now if you are a drunk driver and kill someone I think you should be jailed for life. No excuse for that. Thank you for your reply and Happy Thursday! :)
