[quote=Anonymous]An aside here--I was walking with my DD on M street yesterday, behind a duo emitting the biggest cloud of pot smoke. They must be very proud of themselves, hogging the sidewalk and stinking up Gtown on their Sunday afternoon stroll. We had to pull over (on foot) into a store to escape. It's awful. I have spoken to the police at community meetings about walking while using--the law as written does not allow public consumption-- and the police rep said the tickets are laughable to the pot smokers (I think they are $20 and there is zero penalty if you don't pay them) and so the police don't bother writing them up. I also think they lack some kind of kit they could be issues to carry on them (like the pot version of a breathalyzer) should they even be motivated to intervene. It could theoretically be tricky to 'catch' someone driving or walking while using, but some people are just putting it out there so egregiously that they are easy to identify. There is no mechanism though. I've asked. Thanks progressives![/quote]
