I was talking to my boss on the 3rd floor of my work (a restaurant) when we got a call that there was a guy smokin pot in the parking lot. Called the police and looked out the window. Sure enough we saw 2 guys sitting in a truck and i saw the one putting a pipe and a little bag away. The guys got out and came into the bar, so I waited outside for the police and told him what I saw. He went in the bar, pulled the guy out and cuffed him. Sure enough it was pot, and the guy had an open container in his car too.

I would you a similar question:
Are you that dense that you can't consider/take into fact the following:
1. The original poster said he called the police because he was 'tainting' the appeal of his restaurant, NOT because of any concern for public safety.
2. The person may have been smoking in his car, planning on WALKING somewhere for the rest of the evening.
I agree if the intention was to get high, and then drive - then bust him. But just because you smoke pot in a car does NOT mean you are going to then drive the car.
The whole point of this thread was not over the concern for the public. If it had been, I think you would see different responses.

Hi.
1. Semantics. The guy was 'tainting' the appeal of his restaurant, and posing a danger to the public. So what's the problem?
2. Yeah right. Keep telling yourself that.

Listen to yourself. They had already been smoking pot, and drinking. When they got done, they went into the bar to drink some more. And then?

Now, for those of you that say "mind your own business, pot isn't that bad", i agree. But, we dont want crime happening at our place of work.
So they were sitting in their truck and smoking? Not bothering anyone else? Maybe if they were out in the open I could see this being a problem, but it seems to me it was no big deal. And, it's not like they were smoking crack. It's POT for christ's sake! Cigarettes are more harmful!!! To those that are still stuck in the dark ages and think that pot is evil, and "for losers", it's time to wake up. You are brainwashed by what America wants you to believe.

Lame or not, smoking pot is illegal. Smoking pot in public is stupid. TallBill did the right thing, and I salute him, even if he's an MP.
Oh please.
Jaywalking is illegal and equally as stupid. Going 2 miles over the speed limit is illegal and probably more dangerous then hitting a joint before dinner.
Are you going to salute me if I go around calling the cops everytime I see someone doing something illegal? Are you going to file a lawsuit against me if I sell you a cup of coffee and you spill it on your lap? How about a person who is intoxicated going from one bar to another? They are drunk in public and even if they have a designated driver for later that night, it's still illegal.
Some hero.
Laws are laws, and should be upheld - yes.
However, this person was not causing harm to anyone else nor was there much likelyhood of him doing so. Calling the cops on him, having him arrested, having to deal with the legal system, spend lots of money, etc is just plain absurd in my humble opinion.
There is a time and a place to be a whistle blower. This was not one of them. And if you think this guy should be the next GI Joe action figure for "doing the right thing" - wow.
Just my .02.

Screw you man, smoking bowls and driving to get some munchies is a way of life. Yes, they could have been more covert, but once they put the stuff away and come into your place of business, they're likely to be better customers, not worse.
Some friends of mine actually engineered a THC vaporizer that fits in a paper coke/pepsi cup with a lid (like what you'd get at a fast food restaurant). You push a button on the bottom to start the heating mechanism and "sip" from the straw. You can take it out in public (or to class, heh) and it just looks like you're enjoying a refreshing beverage... although, damn, that fvcker gets hot if you hold it in the wrong spot.

See, I post something like this and then people like you come out of the woodwork. I'm far from a stoner, but I'm willing to admit that drugs aren't the be-all and end-all of bad things in this world. Too many people get a bug up their @$$ about taboo things like drugs, gay marriage, abortion, or firearms. People need to CHILL OUT and mind their own business... let other people do what they gotta do.
There are scumbag stoners who have nothing going for them in their life. There are also good people with good jobs who contribute a lot to society who smoke weed every day. Not to mention plenty of people in between. There's a broad spectrum of users, and the fact that you feel like stereotyping them all as worthless jackasses is more than ignorant on your part.
I don't wish death or injury on anyone, not even people like you. Yet you're quick to hope for me to get hit by a stoned driver.

Congratulations. I'm out of cookies. Are you a virgin too? What else would you like to tell me about your life?
My point was generally college students like to drink and party; drinking before you go out to the bars is a common occurance.
There are always exceptions.

Eh, he was a moron for smoking pot and having an open container out in plain view in public.

What I'm saying is that you shouldn't rationalize your behavior just because a lot of other people do it. Humans aren't lemmings.

So true. I think the open container is much more of a concern that the pot smoking in this case. I wonder if people call the cops on someone who urinates outside their commercial establishment these days.
