It's illegal to smoke pot in public but MPD won't enforce the law, citing bigger fish to fry.[/quote]

So as the previous poster commented, can we walk down the street carrying open containers, drinks or cocktails and not get ticketed. Or would I have to carry a joint as well to get the MPD to leave me alone.

Why do we have laws that we have no intention of enforcing.

Was the goal of the new decriminalizing law to bring pot out onto the streets in public? If it was. It has apparently succeeded, if not, maybe the MPD does need to spend some time actually enforcing the law as written. [/quote]

It makes me feel tricked for voting to decriminalize :(.. I did not take the decision lightly and really wavered. This is basically what I feared, but hoped wouldn't happen. I feel taken advantage of. I'd like the police to ticket - the bigger fish to fry argument is cover for not policing as required.[/quote]

Yeah, you and the rest of the do-gooders really screwed this up by voting for this. I voted against it, and I enjoy smoking it. The law is so far beyond what was needed - the fact that you can hold up to an ounce on your person and not be considered a dealer was the dealbreaker for me. NO ONE needs to be holding that much with the new potent strains, so of course anyone with an ounce would be dealing. Weed weighs nothing! I worry about all the people smoking in their cars while driving - no way they are better drivers while high and there is no field test for marijuana.[/quote]
