So I-502, which legalized marijuana in Washington goes into effect tonight at midnight. Here's what the cops have to say about it:

"Does this mean you should flagrantly roll up a mega-spliff and light up in the middle of the street? No. If you’re smoking pot in public, officers will be giving helpful reminders to folks about the rules and regulations under I-502 (like not smoking pot in public). But the police department believes that, under state law, you may responsibly get baked, order some pizzas and enjoy a Lord of the Rings marathon in the privacy of your own home, if you want to."

straight from the SPD website.

Just about time to legally light up a mega-spliff. Stoked

yeah, and--it really isn't that big of a deal-- I mean does anything really change for those who have been smoking it all along? We can now legally smoke marijuana in our own homes...lawl, like this was ever inforced prior.

Not worrying about having it in your car or pocket is nice though.

This just furthers my point that cops don't like enforcing petty drug laws. When i would see a 16 year old NS member saying "fuck the police" because he got caught with bud, i always laughed. Cops don't want to deal with a little bit a bud, just like you don't want to deal with them. Good post.
