| Have you been caught smoking a JOINT by the police outside of BC?
Ok, so my buddy was in Edmonton and he had HALF a joint left in his car.
for some reason a cop pulled him over, and decided to search his car.. he found the half a joint.. (and yes, he does look kind of sketchy...)
he went to jail...
I don't smoke up often, but from people that do it alot say that if a cop in vancouver "catches" them they tell them to step on it or throw it out etc...
why is it so different in other places...
because i was going on a cruise that left from miami and i thought it would be a good idea to bring a joint or two for the cruise.. my buddy said "ARE YOU CRAZY" if you get caught with that in the states.. you are EFFED!

Well, smoking weed is still illegal. You may get a nice cop that'll just make you toss it. I've been busted before at a road block, with my friend. We got cuffed and thrown in the back of a cruiser. They eventually let us go, but they towed my car. Gotta love being stupid and young.

Weed is a big deal to a lot of people. Just because people in Vancouver have a lax view doesn't mean the rest of the world will

^ if they detain you they can search your person and vehicle if they suspect you have something

i remember my buddy who lived in the states back in high school crossed over a joint coming from canada to the US and got in some major shit. At first principle thought it was a cigarette and buddy got suspended for 3 days and forgot how many days when they found out it was actually weed, buddy ended up having to take a drug test and was forced to go to rehab if he didn't wanna get expelled and reduce his suspension, their so strict in the states

as taylor192 would put it
"You see, BC is very lefty liberal. Lotus land vancouver is so fucked up gay people can get married. Back in toronto, we were so conservative, we married within our own family. Not siblings of course, that's just disgusting. Anyways, I was from Ontario, we did everything properly, unlike lefty liberal BC. Im sick of vancouver even though I moved here."

locally they just stomp it out. i've had my weed stolen once by vpd too. maybe a 24hr if you're in mid session. but generally a big talking too and that's it.
i've picked up quite a few times in the states. it's easy. you just keep it at the hotel and the only time you even have it in a car is just after you get it. you don't speed, you don't drink and you don't blaze until the hotel. really really simple and easy.
but i would never cross a border or go cruising around in a car while blazing. basically common sense. besides, it's the states. just blaze before you leave and rock a drink in your hand all day.

Because Crown Counsel in the lower mainland won't approve charges like a simple possession of marijuana in small amount. You guys have it way too easy in Vancouver.

Marijuana control amongst law enforcement in BC is lax as hell, likely due to the fact that it's literally fucking everywhere. I would say it's as easy to get weed here as cigarettes, and the best part is, the most trouble you'll get into if you get caught smoking a joint is probably a slap on the wrist.
Edmonton and the States on the other hand, might be different. Like LB mentioned, just because we see weed as part of our culture, doesn't mean the rest of the world should.

because if you're smoking it while driving, you're driving impaired.

burning it seems pretty detrimental to the environment.
i've tried it 3 times... and trust me, this shit should NEVER be legal.
I would never drive while high. that is the dumbest thing to do...
So has anyone been caught in the states with it?

My buddy had his car towed when a cop caught him rolling a joint. He had his headlights while parked on so I guess he was asking for it.

The law is so lax in Vancouver compared to other parts of the world...in Singapore, if you get caught with over 500g of weed, you'll receive the death penalty.

thats because you tried it "3 times" for everybody else who blazes regularly being high is just like being normal you get use to it. In fact i actually drove better high i noticed i paid way more attention to what was around me. Now that i quit blazing just smoking one joint i would be so high i wouldn't even want to drive.

It's simple.
BC's economy thrives off marijuana. If you put the consumers in jail, they won't be able to buy weed from their dealers. If the dealers are not making money, they can't afford to buy shit. When they stop buying shit, the businesses lose money and eventually can't afford to keep employees. Employees like you!
