Smoking Weed on the Golf Course

Oh man, I love the smell of weed.

Move to the Emerald Triangle.

Yup.  I play regularly with a guy who smokes (and sometimes vapes) weed, and more often than not I never even notice when he does it.

Exactly, you just need to be discrete. My regular playing partner and I both like to smoke on the course and if we're playing with folks we don't know, I doubt they have any idea at all that we do.

Since marijuana is illegal in most states, where are the people getting their weed?  Isn't there a criminal element involved here somewhere?

. Well, that set off another chain events, and because of a poor attitude on their part, these guys would be spending the night in the local lock up.

This made me very happy. I have nothing against smoking the sweet mary-jane, did it my fair share in high school, but these guys sounded like pricks. "It's legal where we come from."?

LOL

Well not where you're at now! Prick.

Well since you ask, yes that does make you a criminal. It does not however mean you should go to jail for that crime (depending on how much you exceeded the speed limit by) but it does mean that if you were pulled over and became combatant or in any way assaulted an officer that you should go to jail. I say this as I current non weed smoker.

The biggest problem with smoking weed illegally (as opposed to legally) is the financial support of drug dealers.

You may have your friendly neighborhood pot dealer, but that guy probably got his product from someone else. You go up the chain far enough and there may be some very bad people profiting. Some of these same people sell cocaine, heroin and the like. Some of these guys shoot other people in the same line of business. This, in my opinion, is the best reason to legalize pot. It's also something to keep in mind if you are buying the stuff illegally (and by distant relation, smoking it on a golf course).

This thread has taken a detour I am afraid.

I think the OP's original story left out the very crucial information as to why these guys had to spend the night in jail.  This omission caused many to questions the validity of this story.

Everyone agrees it was bad for these guys to smoke week in front of a minor - no question.  But the discussion regarding whether we should decriminalize smoking weed is a topic best left to "the Grill Room".
