1. Don't Consent to Searches

This is a pretty straightforward concept, but a lot of people get hung up on worrying how the officer will react. Don't. Just be cool and keep in mind that agreeing to a search will automatically lead to your arrest if you're in possession of marijuana. Refusing will often prevent the search, but even it doesn't, you'll have a better chance of winning the case once you get to court.

2. Don't Let Them Into Your House

If you enjoy marijuana, then you probably don't want police officers coming inside your house. Unfortunately, cops are quite good at convincing you to let them in. They might make it sound like you don't have a choice, or simply try to convince you they're not looking to get anyone in trouble. Whatever they say, your answer should stay the same: No. Unless they have a search warrant, they can't come in without your permission. Your best move is to politely explain that you're not letting anyone in without a warrant.

3. Ask if You're Free to Go

The longer your police encounter lasts, the greater the risk of something going wrong. If you refuse a search, officers will often say, "okay, wait here," or they might even threaten to "call in the dogs." What they won't tell you is that they may not actually have any legal authority to make you stay. Police need evidence (reasonable suspicion) to justify detaining you, and refusing a search doesn't count.

If you don't feel like hanging out with the cops, ask if you're free to go. If they say "yes," leave immediately. If they say "no," then you're being detained and they will need to prove in court that they had a legal reason to detain you. Even if they search you and find marijuana, the fact that you asked to leave before the search will improve your chances in court, because any evidence found during an illegal detention is not admissible. The legal concepts here get a bit complicated, but just remember that after you refuse a search you should also ask if you can leave.

4. Don't Do Dumb Stuff in Public

When the temptation to put fun before common sense takes over, the consequences can be quick and vicious. Knowing your rights can increase your odds of avoiding trouble, but if officers actually observe you committing a crime, the only tip I can give you is to call a good lawyer. If police see, smell, or hear evidence of criminal activity, that's all the grounds they need to search and arrest you.

Remember that good herb reeks, literally spilling a cloud of probable cause in every direction. Lighting up in cars, parks, dorms and other exposed areas is just asking for trouble. Some regions are more lenient than others, but don't push your luck, and don't assume it's okay just because you see others doing it. I've seen people get popped for pot in Berkeley of all places, so remember there are no drug-war-free zones in America yet. Be cool, and watch your back.

5. Don't Snitch on Yourself

It's tempting to think that honesty will win you some points with police. Heck, they'll even promise to cut you a break in exchange for a straight answer. But coming clean is a mistake you'll regret seconds later when they order you to put your hands behind your back. Most people don't think pot is a big deal, so it's easy for the cops to convince you they don't care about it either. But it's their job to bust you for pot, and they're allowed to lie if necessary to trick you into cooperating. If they didn't care, they wouldn't ask.

If police are asking you incriminating questions, just politely tell them you choose to remain silent until you've spoken with a lawyer.

And let them win? No. This is not the way to deal with this problem. The problem is not the pot, the problem is the idiotic laws.

How much you want to bet that the above poster has booze in their home and has no f*cking problems abusing that DRUG.

YES : ALCOHOL is a drug. All you fuckers who drink and bash marijuana? Guess what? The jokes on you fuckwads, you are doing drugs.

This country LOVES drugs, we name baseball stadiums after the shit : COORS FIELD.


SO all you f*cking boozers who deny that you are drug addicts, guess what? You are doing drugs, and you love it!

You have allowed language to create a barrier for your little mind, to think " I'm a drinker, I am better than all those other addicts" = guess what? You are not. You have allowed yourself to think that society pegs you as a responsible drug user, an alchoholic, but you are just a morally corrupt as any other substance abuser.

That is the point : UNTIL ALCOHOL IS REMOVED FROM SOCIETY, WE ARE NOT GOING TO ALLOW THE f*cking POLICE STATE TO THROW PEOPLE IN JAIL FOR A f*cking PLANT. NOT WHILE f*cking BOOZE IS LEGAL, PLAIN COMMON SENSE.

THIS SHIT NEEDS TO END LIKE f*cking NOW!!!

I am so sick of f*cking PIGS telling us what is good for us, especially when f*cking alcohol is throw at us as a society so freely and encouraged.

f*ck this NAZI shit, don't allow your state to criminalize a plant.

END THIS NAZI SHIT
NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!

Don't carry it.
Don't smoke it in the car.

IF I were to take a walk in the evening - I'd limit it to one doob. Easy to get rid of.


Store it where the smell doesn't over take the room.

Don't be stoopid if you are carrying it.

You can smoke it just dont carry it around with you.

it can also be an issue in jobs and employment

go to every job position interview you have had for the past thirty years both high and drunk

seriously

they now have a 'baseline' for your appearance

and for your behavior

then when you come to work on a Monday

a little bit hung over

with red eyes hidden by visine

your employer will not notice

because that is how you were the very day the met you

nothing appears out of the ordinary


laugh if you must

but you can garner whatever response,

whatever resultant action to a situation

you wish to be carried out by those affected.

you just need to preprogram them

so the response you require is the one they chose

with no knowledge to them

their choices, though inclusive of 'all' to them

are in reality sharply limited to those

that you wish them to choose from

it works in real life

it works on the web

sometimes even an apparent typo

a mistake made in the heat of the moment

was actually scripted in advance

reread fifty times

the posts to be made prior carefully worded

the posts to be made after equally vetted

you can make someone have free will and free choice

and have available to them only choices that benefit you!
