Seattle PD on marijuana

[ChillTeenDad420]

So I-502, which legalized marijuana in Washington goes into effect tonight at midnight. Here's what the cops have to say about it:

"Does this mean you should flagrantly roll up a mega-spliff and light up in the middle of the street? No. If you’re smoking pot in public, officers will be giving helpful reminders to folks about the rules and regulations under I-502 (like not smoking pot in public). But the police department believes that, under state law, you may responsibly get baked, order some pizzas and enjoy a Lord of the Rings marathon in the privacy of your own home, if you want to."

straight from the SPD website.

Just about time to legally light up a mega-spliff. Stoked

Almost as awesome as the Colorado Governor's response about cheetos and goldfish.

 

[jnizzle]

Haha thats so awesome! Refreshing to see authorities have a sense of humor.

does anyone else not like how people make a huge public display for gaining something like this? i mean, i smoke, but i wouldnt throw a mini hemp fest just to celebrate. why stretch this kind privilege? its only the first day...

 

[crab_pretzel]

lold

 

[ChillTeenDad420]

at the moment they aren't enforcing any law other than verbal warnings! essentially legal until enforcement begins

yeah, and--it really isn't that big of a deal-- I mean does anything really change for those who have been smoking it all along? We can now legally smoke marijuana in our own homes...lawl, like this was ever inforced prior.

Not worrying about having it in your car or pocket is nice though.

so your going to take too many acid too?

 

[BdoubleU]

repost like 6 times now. it's ok though...maybe your celebrating this glorious day.

"If there is a guy on the corner of the street smoking a joint and on the other side a guy is drinkin a beer we are going to go after the public drinking first"

My name's going to be raaaaaaalph.

I see some of the offices just opened up their roof top doors after hotboxing

 

[SkiinTrigga]

Fuck Yeeaahhh.

 

[volvotom]

There were so many puns in that Q&A.

 

[GayWolf420]

Here's to everyone toking in WA now. Hopefully picking up some ultra illegal edibles and nuggery tomorrow to have fun with.

This just furthers my point that cops don't like enforcing petty drug laws. When i would see a 16 year old NS member saying "fuck the police" because he got caught with bud, i always laughed. Cops don't want to deal with a little bit a bud, just like you don't want to deal with them. Good post.

Just so everyone knows the quote about pizza is from the blogger, not the SPD.

 

[Wallisch_pl]

you ruined it

 

[Stickity]

i for one would most definitely throw a little get together. it's not like people don't find stupid reasons to get hammered

 

[steezywannabeezy]

yes
