[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely. Here’s the revised post with that point added—still condensed, clear, and with nlI’m genuinely frustrated with how common this has become in DC. This is not a one-time issue. I keep seeing people stepping out of cars or waiting in public spaces smelling strongly of marijuana. It is obvious they have been smoking right before or even inside the car.

Today I saw a parent with their child at a restaurant. The smell was overwhelming. It was clear they had smoked in the car and then drove there with the child. That is not just disgusting, it is dangerous.

I also went to the DMV recently and there were several people in the waiting room who reeked of marijuana. No one said anything, but it was impossible not to notice. It feels like this behavior is just being accepted now.

Shouldn’t the smell of marijuana be probable cause to search someone or their vehicle, especially if they just got out of it? If someone reeked of alcohol and stepped out of a car with a child, they would be stopped immediately. Why is marijuana being treated differently?

This is not about personal freedom. It is about public safety, common sense, and protecting children. DC officials and police need to stop looking the other way. This is getting worse and it needs to be addressed.[/quote]

You being annoyed by the smell of marijuana is not a public safety crisis. Imagine if the pear clutchers of DCUM about legal MJ put the time they spent whining here to positive use in their communities. You could change lives! Instead you whine and complain here about something you'll never change.

Maybe pot heads should put down the spliff and do something positive instead of destroying the community. [/quote]
