I am SO glad that we have so many great police officers in the city of Halifax. It just makes me feel so safe knowing that the cops are out there catching the REAL criminals! Like… jaywalkers, stoners, speeders… I cant wait till the next time an officer has me cuffed on the ground with a knee in my back! Forget all those Cocaine dealers, Dirty prostitutes and Gang members who roam the streets with everyone else at 2 in the morning, I NEED to go to jail for smoking this joint and then crossing the street. Whoops! Double Felony!

Hey stoner, here’s some advice for ya. You need to pick your spots better when lighting up the dube. I bet the cop watching you saw you as 1 gigantic target rich arresting environment. I have no issue with people partaking of the herb, but man or woman as the case may be, keep in touch with your surroundings already.
Don’t think he should have to. While I agree its his responsibility to look out for #2 (Himself, I’m #1) it enrages me that anyone thinks they have the right to tell someone where they can use a harmless substance.I suggest keeping a beachball on hand, next time you see the cop, knock him out with the ball and run. I’d also take his badge, cuffs, baton, spray, and gun for some fun later.
I’m on the same page Bad Guy about the use of the harmless herb, but as long as this country still deems the stuff illegal, which I hope changes soon, people are going to get pinched.That beachball has some wide ranging uses doesn’t it. It’s more than just plastic and air.
Another one…. for The Bad Guy!
Unless you got an oz in ur back pocket that one splif or J walking cant put you in jail. So if you got taken to the police station for anything more than your 2 fines then you have something to bitch about.I just reread if you had a knee in ur back on the ground sounds like you ran away which prolly would be why ur in jail.
Idiot. You can also get arrested for drinking a beer while walking down the street. Stop blaming others for your own stupidity. And that shit is far from harmless.
while the conservatives are in power, the situation for peaceful pot smokers is only going to get worse, much worse, because the harper government has enacted a draconian ‘anti-drug strategy’ that is in-line with US drug policy.drugs are declared legal or illegal based primarily on who benefits from their manufacture, distribution and sale. our government’s drug policy has absolutely nothing to do with reducing harm from substance abuse, otherwise many other potentially harmful psychotropic drugs (alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, prescription narcotics, antidepressants, you name it) would also be prohibited.hypothetically, if marijuana ‘products’ were to become the domain of the pharmaceutical industry, manufactured & distributed exclusively by big pharma, then you can bet that pot would be legalized pretty fast, except we’d be paying a hell of a lot more for our ‘pot prescription’.
interesting article about the war on drugs:http://www.naturalnews.com/010944.html
That was a interesting article.
I agree with Burning Man – be selective about the spots where you fire up. Try somewhere like the Commons. Nothing like a wide open space to suck back and honk.As far as legalization goes, I’ve been waiting for over 30 years for something to break. Don’t hold your breath on that one.
Police deal with all issues, big, medium, or small. They don’t make the laws.Police are similar to doctors who treat big, medium, or small issues.
