The cops are going rogue in MA over the new pot law

[Cancel 2018. 3]

This, among other reasons, is exactly why pot shouldn't be legalized. How are police going to determine if someone is "under the influence?" It's not like a breath test will work. A urine sample will show positive for weeks, it is my understanding. A person would be unjustly charged by that test. How are they going to know? I sympathize with the police on this deal. I really don't think they decided something like, "hey, I smell pot from that car. Let's stop it on a trumped up inspection sticker violation and then we can cite the guy for being under the influence." Sounds like they stopped him, smelled the pot, found the pot and reacted. How are they going to know when someone is under the influence?

easy, no pot in a moving vehicle...so if the officer smells it and has reasonable suspicion, search and bust.

it is illegal now and if they don't smoke in the car, the officers probably won't smell it...a friend of mine told me anyway...

so the legality of it is irrelevent

And so when something like what happened at Va. Tech. happens and I say "the freedom (to own firearms) is worth it" you will agree with me?

yeah or when your children are killed by a driving stonie will it be worth it?

Ohh I forget many on here are to young to have children, and young enough to feel they will live forever.

well, I know most of you on here feel that the founding fathers and the framers of the constitution failed or were colossally inept when they talked about freedom and liberty, or penning it to paper that created our country, but one of my favorite Jefferson quotes is below.....

1791 Dec. 23. "I would rather be exposed to the inconveniencies attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it." (to Archibald Stuart, B.22.436)

Perfect quote for the San Francisco thread.
