I wouldn't care one way or another what you would have done. They are kinda stupid for smoking out in public though.

if the kids were at home or whatever i would agree. but in a restaurant? they will send someone over. granted it will take about an hour heh

They only smelled it outside the restaurant. They didn't notice inside.

I told them they had two options, one- they could put the joints out or two- I would put the joints out for them. My neighbor had run ins with me before so he knew I meant business so he threw his joint down and told me to leave. I said you made a wise choice but I'm still calling the cops and then I turned to leave. My neighbor then got up off the couch got behind me and said a few cuss words and told me to mind my business. Well that did it. I turned around, took off my shades, looked him straight in the eye and said "lets get high". I then front kicked him a good 8 feet in the air. Then his other friend came at me with the bong, I grabbed his arm, snapped it and then hit him in the stomach with the bong. His other friend ran into the kitchen so I went after him. He was in the corner crying so I said "this is your brain" and then I grabbed a frying pan and said "this is your brain on drugs" and then I hit him in the head as hard as I could with the frying pan. After that I called the cops and they came over and arrested my neighbor and his friends. As I was leaving the sarge shouted out to me thanks. I turned around, took off my shades, looked him straight in the eye and said " well you know sarge, perhaps if we build a freaking dunkin doughnuts on this street it would give you guys a excuse to ride up here once or twice a week and keep the crime down. I then threw my shades on the ground to let him know I meant business. I feel pretty good about what I did for my neighborhood today.

You are full of ******

Smoking Weed is not a felony

& what you did could have been a felony ... you do not go to people's homes without their permission, hit them and leave.

Almost a lifer and you still can't figure out when somebody is joking....

Smoking weed outside of a public place is pretty dumb. They'll probably get themselves caught without your help.

The next time I saw them selling, I did call the cops. Maybe now they can learn something and avoid jail.

You sent some kids to jail so they could learn something and not go to jail again later? o_O

You're an asshole. DIAF
Maybe those kids will realize how stupid they are and change their life.

The only ones ripping on the OP are probably the ones toking up (or thinking about it) right now.

You may not realize this, but many pot smokers change their life WITHOUT going to jail. They're just kids, they have a LONG way to go before they're expected to be productive members of society. Sending those kids to jail for marijuana is only increasing the chances that they'll become violent criminals. How about you go research this topic before you discuss it.

FYI, I've never toked up in my life.

Ok. I'll research it when you research it.

I've written a few research papers on the subject already. That's your cue to get started.

Stoners with a car wouldn't be smoking on the street

Unless one of them drives his mom's minivan and doesn't want it to smell like weed.

Here's to hoping that they just didn't have a car at all :beer:

Why do they have to change their lives? I went to a conference a couple years ago and had the pleasure of smoking a bowl with a harvard medical professor.

hell I run past the police station in my neighborhood about 3 times a week.

I smell MJ there about 1/3 the time. It's a good neighborhood mostly.

Still although I don't agree marijuana should be controlled (I have not smoked it in over 10 years though), still the places where dealers let a half dozen crack whores show up should be closed. There is one place near my 1/2 way point in my run that is semi-ghetto...it's about a 1/4 mile up from the police station. Every run there are cars parked everywhere in their circular driveway and on the swale and on the sidewalk. Most have rear windows filled with gangster stuff like "$$$Big G'$ Money$$$" with a big reefer leaf logo below it. The place is a pot smoke screen.

you are not a scientist. Saying you have 'researched' it, but have no 'published' or works out there....then adding but never tried it...is a big stumbling block for me.

This is not like saying I am researching Cancer and I forced myself to contract it.

I don't see nothing wrong with marijuana except how much is spent to enforce it.

Good for you. It fills me with hope that our medical professionals are being trained by people who care so much about their own health.

casual pot smoking is about as bad for your health and drinking a beer, if not better.

new studies are showing that THC actually helps prevent cancer because it shuts down potential cancerous cells before they spread, and instigates the creation of new cells. Your brain actually has receptors for THC, where as it is quite the opposite with alcohol. I'd rather see my kids toke up then drink any day of the week.

edit: i agree that smoking anything is not healthy, so weed+vaporizor=ftw

Wrong place to ask this: I've been hit twice by potheads. Once at a red light (they simply didn't stop, and I was in front of them) and once pulled in front of me (they had a stop sign, I didn't).

I know that it's rare for the same person to be hit twice by high drivers (especially since it's the only accidents I've been involved in), but do you seriously think that someone who is high on weed is capable of driving? Wow.

i do. but it also depends on the driver... i'll take "responsible" high drivers over drunk drivers/people on cell phones any day. I've been rear ended several times, all by sober people on cell phones. I still believe its 95% about the driver.

you probably got hit by dumb drivers that were also high.. bad luck on your part. You are probably lucky they were high, because they might have been driving faster.

??? why is this the wrong place to ask this? because you had weird luck about it doesn't dissolve the reality of the situation.

I was at Epcot this past April and went into a restroom to take a leak and in the stall next to me was smoke hanging above and reeking of pot, so other guy was in the restroom with his kid also and said something like "real nice buddy!!"

I didn't and wouldn't say anything since I was a youth once but when I mentioned it to my fiancee she asked why I didn't notify anyone.

Poster: so i came home tonight and found my front door open. i look in the window and there are a few thugs in my house destroying and stealing everything. i happened to notice that my neighbor was in there too, but he was tied to a chair and gagged. they then started to beat the crap out of him. finally one of the thugs pulled out a uzi and shot him!

should i call the cops?

ATOT: WTF!?!?! you're going to snitch on these people? Damn, mind your own f---ing business, dude. I hate busybodies.
