Quote from Kassz007:
I agree cops don't get to choose what laws to enforce, but you can't tell me there aren't better uses for the scarce police force resources? Pedophiles? Rapists? Murderers? Almost anything...
Do you also call the cops on someone who is drinking? Because they are WAY more dangerous than someone smoking pot.
I would much rather live beside a pothead than an alcoholic.
Actually, I do call the cops on someone if they're drinking excessively and they become a public nuisance. "Drunk and disorderly" happens to be a charge that the cops can lay on someone. I also call the cops on drunk drivers. I've been too close to getting into accidents with some people to ignore it. It's a public safety thing.
As for you living besides an alcoholic rather than a drunk that's your personal choice. The pothead is much more likely to stink up the place than the alcoholic. Do you like that kind of burning rope/rubber/skunk smell!? I know I don't and I can't figure out why anybody would want to smoke that crap. Also, an alcoholic can't get you second hand "drunk" like a pothead can. I'm talking about clouds of smoke here, not kidding about it.
