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.


BTW, all pot smokers are bad people. They are all violent and they don't have a good cell in their bodies. They are fundamentally evil and a burden to society (especially the ones who have held offices as high as the highest possible public office in the nation). Despite the fact that pot makes you more cautious in nature during its activity period and a slower driver these people cause accidents all over the place. All pot smokers are stupid and of substandard intelligence (especially the ones at Harvard) and they should all just drop down and die.

Tell it to my brother a$$hole

No kidding. Ever hear of the "broken windows" theory, prouser?

And I'm very aware of the "broken windows" theory. This is a very poor example to try and use that. Wouldn't a simple: "Excuse me guys, can you please take that elsewhere?" have worked? If they refused, THEN called the cops?

Seeing any crime or even one panhandler in an area can be severely detrimental to public opinion. It all starts with something small and snowballs from there.

So do you call the police EVERY time you see any crime? I agree there CAN be a snowball affect, but come on - that's absurd. By that logic I should have called the police 20 times on my way to work today. And I see at least 5 people a day on my commute panhandling - should I call the police on all of them? Please...

Wow at least you didnt stoop as low as thinking to mention traffic infractions JESUS.

OH great ask them to go elsewhere now that they are INTOXICATED!!!!!!!!!!!1


Please show me where he mentioned that the guy was "INTOXICATED!!!!!!!!!1" or in any way acting in a dangerous manner. Many fine restaurants have either some type of security, doorman, bouncer or designated person to handle any potential conflicts.

And please explain how I am stooping low. I am simply stating that IN MY OPINION someone driving 65 miles an hour in a 35 zone is MORE DANGEROUS to society then someone who hits a joint before dinner.

It's been a while since I turned on the news to hear "Guy smokes joint, goes into restaurant and blows away 10 people."

He mentioned that there was an open container in the car.


And? That doesn't mean he was intoxicated, nor that he was drinking and driving.

Have you ever been to a football game and drank a beer in the car while tailgating before the game? Have you never gone out with your friends to a club and mixed a 50/50 Rum & Coke in a plastic coke bottle and drank it real fast in the car before you went into the bars so you didn't have to pay $9 a drink?

I don't condone any substance + driving, please don't take it that way.

The guy was smoking out idiot. That is intoxicated. Use a damn dictionary.

Apart from the needless use of profanity, you don't realize that these people were not going to drive after their use. They were going to have a nice meal and leave. As for your brother, I'm sorry about what happened. However you are looking for an easy explanation. Various organizations have done research that basically show that Marijuana has a much smaller effect on driving skills than many over the medications, leave alone alcohol or sleep deprived driving. Many studies point out that drivers who used marijuana increase their levels of caution and drive slower so that to more than offset the small level of impariment caused by marijuana use. The same thing was more likely to happen with a sleep deprived driver or a driver who took a cold symptom relief medication. In fact it was more likely to happen with an inattentive driver at the wheel. Besides without knowing the details of the accident, we cannot know which driver was at fault as unfortunate as the result was. All this may be hard to hear, but it is pertinent.

Even still I think that one should not drive after using marijuana. The problem is that ignorant people like to make people who use it in a setting that does not involve the use of a motor vehicle after using it look like evil people. In this case there were two people that wanted to relax a bit before a nice lunch.

I was a rebel without a clue when I was your age too :) It's part of the process. Even the flower children before us both that protested the war so heavily are now the establishment they fought so hard against ;) It's inevitable unless you are the rare person who can divest themselves of the rewards society offers for that conformity later or proffit off of that rebelious behavior as some do.

What don't I have a clue about? To think something is bad just because it is illegal is just plain stupid.
