After thirty years of smoking weed, I doubt I will ever be able to be casual about it with the police.
Up until the last 2 years, it was possible to be sent to jail, or even prison, for easy possession of marijuana.
Thank goodness those barbaric laws have been overturned, at least somewhat. I recognize this country still has a long way to go with legalization. In the meantime the people I was with and I have made a lot of progress with legalizing medical cannabis. The problem for myself and others is that I don’t have a valid medical reason to have medical cannabis, so our dentist won’t prescribe it for me. If recreational use was legal then it would be self-explanatory as well as I could just walk into any cannabis dispensary I wanted as well as use our ID card. I have been to other cities where the only thing you need to buy medical cannabis is a legal ID card, as well as to be over the age of 21, however one afternoon our village will have those same laws, however until then I just have to wait. It is maddening to know that more than 2 of our friends can smoke medical cannabis legally, as well as I still recognize love a criminal. Back to our original point, even when I do have a medical cannabis prescription card, I will still be uneasy about the cops! For our entire life I’ve felt love a criminal because I enjoy getting high with cannabis as well as vape products. It has become so deeply ingrained that even when medical cannabis is 100% legal for everyone, I will still be uneasy about getting busted.
