    Didn’t they recently rule that cops can no longer use the “I smelled weed” excuse as reasonable suspicion/probable cause? Maybe that was just one state.

    Seems doubly ridiculous that this happened in California

      And if it did smell like weed near the MRI place, you know what I’d suspect? That’s a venn diagram with cancer patients in the middle.

      You really want to crack down on cancer patients?

        The answer has always been yes.

        Look, WA was one of the first states to legalize, just weeks after CO. There was a police officer in Seattle who had to be reassigned because he kept writing tickets to people with weed even though it was legal. The point? Right-wing nuts are antisocial.

          Arizona was sending people to prison even though they had the medical marijuana card on them. It took the State Supreme Court to tell them they couldn’t just redefine words to say the new law didn’t count for edibles and vapes.

        I’m sorry, you’ve been disqualified from any chance of employment as a police officer. You’ve shown entirely too much critical thinking here.

      That was Illinois but honestly it’s just obvious in any state with a recreational/medicinal use law.

      It’s ridiculous they’re allowed to keep using it as an excuse in general.
