I could smell the drug very clearly and I’m sure the usher at the end of the row could smell it too
When my children were in elementary school, I took them to a show in the city to see a group of performers dance on ice. The kids were excited for a week, because they knew they were going to get to see some of their favorite characters that day. The arena was packed with people and the parking lot was full on the day of the performance. I got to the arena early, so we could avoid traffic and delays. The kids and I had seats near the middle of the auditorium. We weren’t particularly close to the stage, but we had a really good view of everything. After the show began, the crowded room got very quiet and the lights went down. There was no light in the audience at all until I saw a flashing blue light. I recognized the light immediately. I have a marijuana vape pen with the same blue light. I saw the blue light flash a couple of times and then I began to smell the distinctive odor of marijuana. I wondered why other people didn’t say anything to the person who was clearly smoking weed in the audience. I could smell the drug very clearly and I’m sure the usher at the end of the row could smell it too. There was no smoke, so it had to be a marijuana vape pen. The children’s concert was no place for marijuana and I was disappointed that the folks running the venue did not kick the guy out of the concert for using an illegal substance around the kids.
