    I have talked to a number of old timers about this exact subject, hell even some of my friends were let go as kids when they were obviously wasted.. Seems back then officer liability wasn't as much a thing. Now, as explained to me by a LEO (as mentioned above, situational circumstances), EVERY stop is logged. If 10 minutes after the LEO letting said perp go, the perp wrecks and kills somebody, the officer who gave the pass can now be directly liable for said accident/death. That is how it was explained to me.

    Short/curly... be glad that happened long ago!

    1980s, Roy Harper concert. Posh theatre. Support acts then intermission. The theatre bar is full. (Smoking allowed in the bar but not in the theatre.) At every table, people are rolling spliffs and lighting up while plain clothes officers stand and watch.

    Roy Harper comes on stage, many people spark up spliffs. A lit spliff got thrown onto the stage and landed by his feet. He picked it up, took a good whiff and threw it back into the audience.

    A few minutes later, a suit comes on stage and tells us that if we don't stop smoking, the fire brigade will be called and the concert cancelled. All smokes extinguished.

    There might be a possibility that he is lying. Did you see his badge or something?
    Glad to know you are fine though!

    I've been staying in the same hotel with k9 officers for months. There is a k9 training facility just outside of the town we are staying in. Being in a newly legal state I head out to the parking lot for an evening smoke without hiding. Often times the officers are out there with their dogs. I usually try and keep a little distance out of habit, but when our paths cross I just look them in the eye and exchange friendly salutation. It is indeed very odd and something I'll probably never quite get used to. Never in a million years did I think I would experience this in my lifetime. I can't wait until everyone out there gets to experience the end of prohibition.

    Not at that time but I have since. Still a rather pleasant guy. Family man.

    Cheers!

    You know, it's almost been a year now. Have you noticed how life just kept going on? Nothing really changed since legality. Crime is down. Drunk driving and drunk in public arrests are down. Opioids, I imagine, will follow suit I imagine. I have no source for that info.

    It's almost like, the pot was never the problem. What a time to be alive!

    Cheers

    I can't speak for all of society, but I can certainly say my life has changed for the better. I was subject to drug testing for work and had to take a fifteen year break. I turned to alcohol for a substitute. The day I received the email stating we would no longer be tested I pulled the bong out of hiatus and drank my last beer. Only five months now and I've lost 30 lbs, my joints feel better, I have a much better outlook on life. I will have to correct you, it's not almost like, but rather, pot was definitely never the problem. Prohibition was and still is the problem.

    What a time to be alive!

    I'm jealous! I can't wait for Texas to go legal.
    Back in my mid twenty's I would keep my pot in a stinky pair of rubber boots.
    Kept me from going to jail many times.
