Spare me...smoking pot is hardly a robbery or an assault...do you turn in every crime you witness, even your own? Speeding?...crime is crime

smoking pot is not a victimless crime... how about underage drinking? is that okay?

I never said smoking pot was "okay". The world just has too many busy bodies worrying about everything else except the person they see in the mirror every morning.

person in the mirror is just fine and not breaking any laws... call me old school, but I do believe it is a citizen's duty to report obvious criminal activity to the police - they can't be everywhere... it is still a crime, whether the police are watching it happen or not...

You must be right. I feel much safer now knowing you are on patrol and doing your duty. Thank you.

it is obvious from this thread that you don't consider pot a criminal deal. I get it, there are some good arguments to be made for legalization, but so far I remain unconvinced that society would be better off with freer access to pot

Why stop at marijuana? Heroin and cocaine, as well as all other currently illegal substances could just as easily be ignored.

If we are going to have laws, they should be enforced, otherwise let's just go for total anarchy, anything goes, and stop the subterfuge of passing laws that are meaningless.

I agree with you, by the way.

Ok, ok...I give up. There is no hope. I just saw a jaywalker on Rolater just as someone sped past me at more than 40mph and I didn't call 911. Crime is crime. As all the buildings are burning, and looters have taken over Frisco Square, the headlines will read

"ANARCHY IN THE STREETS!!!! It all started with two girls smoking...UHEM"

Heaven help us.

Apparently you lack the ability to determine the appropriate response to very different situations. You cannot be helped...

Not much difference between speeding and smoking pot. Both could put others at harm and both are illegal. It looks like you are being selective on which crimes you want to waste 911's time with.

And there is a lot worse things two teenagers could be doing than just smoking a little weed.
