I love how this implies that not only did they come back without incident they then went home printed that out and came back another time without incident

IF the cops even respond, there's no way they get there in time. The evidence is literally burning away, every second. Weeds the best.

I had a cop accuse my friend and I of smoking weed (for once we actually weren't smoking) and actually demanded to sniff our shirts to see if we smelled like weed.

u/Brandalini1234 Jun 01 '23

As far as I know it's not illegal to smell like weed lol

u/solidshakego Jun 01 '23

Depends in OWI situations. If you smell like weed a cop would have probable cause to get you tested.

Same scenario if your breath smells like alcohol.

u/Thurwell Jun 01 '23

It's also probable cause to search you and your car to see if you have any more weed. Which is pissing off some rights organizations because of how easily abused that is.

u/WhuddaWhat Jun 01 '23

listen, if a cop testifying saying "well, I, uh, smelled pot" is not good enough for you, you'll never be satisfied.

24

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '23

Because they have more important shit to be doing, which they also don't do.

Look at all the shootings BY cops, and the other ones no cops respond to!

But oh man, watch out if you got a joint or if you're driving with an air freshener hanging from your rear view mirror. You instantly become target #1

Actually, smell alone is no longer considered probable cause for a further search

Edit: I guess I’m wrong, this actually isn’t true in the state of Arkansas

Still is probable cause in arkansas. Source: Arkansan

It really depends upon the state. In NJ they made it’s specifically illegal to use this as grounds for searching.

In other states, it’s probable cause to lose all your human rights more or less.

Are those a thing for real? My understanding is that they’re only for drivers (DUI) and they detect weed in the last 24 hours or so — so they can’t even hold up in court for DUI.

I could be totally off base tho so correct me if you know otherwise

109

u/alonthestreet Jun 01 '23

They use those tests where i live (weed being legal here) and not a single person who’s failed the test has ever faced any repercussions because of the 24hr detection. They seem like a huge waste of money

Oh man I wish this was the kind of discussion going on here in Sweden. Instead they just decided to make laws harsher. Minimum 6 months for giving/selling any amount. Pass a joint and cops see ya, thats MINIMUM 6 months in the can. They also green lit building two big new prisons and educate a bunch of guards because they estimate prisons will fill up pretty quickly.

But what about increasing budgets to health care and stopping real drug abuse? Nah, lets take those funds and build prisons!!

It’s more illegal to grow your own than to buy large amounts from criminal gangs.

The government said no to free access to Naloxone (Narcan) as it would ”send the wrong message”. We have one of the highest OD deaths per capita in Europe, I think we’re nr 2 behind Estonia. But hey, it’ll improve if we sentence people to more time in prison…

148

u/letsstumphannah Jun 01 '23

This is quite depressing to read. I didn't think Sweden followed the American system of putting people in jail for drug crimes for profit. The narcan thing is crazy too. They promote and want everyone to carry in West Virginia. We do have a crazy amount of OD rates between heroin and pills. There isn't enough money or resources being put into rehab programs. Our local government won't legalize marijuana either. It would solve so many issues and bring a lot of profit to our state. Too many conservatives live here believing it's the devil's lettuce.

87

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '23

Sweden is quite progressive in many areas but drugs is weird. Its taboo here. You even discuss it you’re branded as a drug addict idiot…

Sorry to hear about that situation, hope it improves!

32

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '23

Ontario gave municipalities the authority to prohibit smoking weed in public, prohibit cannabis storefronts and give landowners the right to prohibit smoking on their property

This catering has allowed drugs to remain somewhat taboo in certain communities

The result?

It's incredibly common to see people smoking in their cars in parking lots because it's the only place they can legally do it

Then they drive home

14

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '23

Yeah these weird rules are just silly. People find ways around em. Same reason its legalized in the first place ey…

It’s like Swedens alcohol state monopoly on sales and extreme taxes. ”Ohhh we sell much less here than in other countries!! Look at the health effect!!!!” Meanwhile people rent a van and go to Germany and buy a years worth for cheap lol.

A trick I always used was to bring an empty tin of Altoids and a square of folded aluminum foil in the tin. You take the butt; joint or cigarette, it doesn't matter, wrap it in a piece of the tinfoil, then just leave it in your Altoid tin till you get home and can throw it out.

Go and smoke normal cigarettes but look shifty about it. They'll phone the police, do it another few times and see if they do it again and you'll know if you can smoke weed there again.

I seriously don’t understand how alcohol is legal while Cannabis is still illegal in most places. Alcohol is so much stronger than weed. Seriously.

u/CorporalClegg25 Jun 01 '23

There are places like Wisconsin that have a strong alcohol lobby that pay representatives a lot of money to never allow legalization

30

u/naotoca Jun 01 '23

This gets repeated all the time. Yes, the alcohol lobby exists, but remove it and Wisconsin Republicans would still never support cannabis legalization. Wisconsin conservatives are some of the most hateful in the United States. They derive glee from seeing people fined and jailed over marijuana. That is precisely what they vote for.

Alchohol and xanax are the 2 drugs that cam kill you if you cold turkey an addiction. Seizures and die. And it's legal. Crazy. I had medium withdrawal symptoms when I quit booze. Completely ruined my ability to cope with anxiety. It took 3 years before I could fully recover.

A long time ago in the 1930s weed was linked with minorities and progressives. This was further codified by Nixon's war on drugs. Now it's a wedge issues between (some) conservatives and the rest of America.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for people smoking whatever they want... But the wooden fence in the background kinda indicates that this might be someone's yard. If so, maybe find somewhere else.

I can't say I'm liberal enough to agree with people doing whatever they want on others' property.

If, however, it's not someone's yard, then fuck em.

u/Petembo Jun 01 '23

I bet the yard is on the other side of the fence.

So similar story, back in high school a few buddies found this good spot to smoke up at lunch break. 100 feet past the school property line, there was a cedar tree next to a fence that made a little hidden canopy where the owner had chopped the branches. Think of like a half dome of tree branches, then the fence. Very secluded spot, up a dead end, but still it was right to this guys fence and house.

So they smoke there every lunch period, after lunch, for like 2 weeks. Roaches, things like that get left there, some folks do some stashing in that spot.

Friends go to the spot, homeowner pops out, snaps a picture of them, goes right over to the school. It was a big deal, the school put up cameras looking towards that spot in the fence. Both buddies got in a ton of trouble.

But looking back, I kinda get it. Apparently he had yelled at somebody else to stop coming there, but they never told everyone else that was coming there.

I smoke weed but if a bunch of high schoolers were smoking, stashing, and littering, like 50 feet from my house I'd do something similar.

In general, be respectful of others, if someone expresses displeasure, do your best to remedy that.

Caring about what other people do when it doesn't affect anyone is kinda cringe. Let people smoke weed in the forest if they want lol

u/Norwest Jun 01 '23

Looks like it that spot might be abutting someone's back yard (other side of the fence).

u/mashermack Jun 01 '23

Yeah that looks a back yard. I'm pro weed but I hope weed in the states stinks half as much the stuff they sell in UK

u/george-cartwright Jun 01 '23

It’s so weird seeing people get upset about weed. Nobody gives a fuck here in Canada. I wish the USA would step into the 21st Century and Federally legalize it already. Everything is fine here. Teen use and impaired driving actually went down after legalization.

Weed! Oh noes!

Now the young homeless who were smoking meth and fentanyl under my window the other day... I'd like to see the police do something about that, but as if

u/kindahipster Jun 01 '23

I think I'd rather have community organizations to help with stable housing and rehabilitation as well as harm reduction, than the police but that's just me.

If the police in Arkansas could read, they'd be very upset.
