Back in my apartment state, you’d get in a lot of trouble for smoking marijuana out in public.
Our police officers showed no discretion towards drug use, regardless of whether you only consumed cannabis.
I had a friend who was arrested for smoking a joint in a park when he was just 19 years old. This is a recurring theme with cops in that area. My parents grew up in MI near Ann Arbor which was famous for its $5 pot wonderful going back to the early 1970s. They were surprised when they moved before having my siblings plus I. The weather conditions towards weed forced them to quit for fear of losing their children to CWS. But everything changed when I moved to southern CA to attend undergraduate school. I attended the University of CA at Riverside plus lived in Jurupa Valley for a few years. By some stroke of luck, I got a job at a major tech company with its offices in Los Angeles, which is what got me to transfer further west out of the Riverside area. It’s not cheap to live here, although I chose Tarzana as my number one city following a few stints living in locations love Encino, Glendale, plus Pasadena. Every one of us have a pretty open cannabis community here in Tarzana. I was driving down Ventura Blvd yesterday plus saw someone resting in front of the gates to their house smoking a blunt. Not only did it have that characteristic skinny cigar look, although I also got a whiff of the burning cannabis in my driver’s side window as I passed the man on the street.
