Cops of lemmy, what's it like marijuana being not a big deal then all the sudden a really big deal then back to being like probably not a big deal to it probably becoming a really big deal again? - eviltoast

    Alternatively, my friend (the biggest stoner I know) married a cop. Our state never officially decriminalized it. His stance has basically been “as long as I don’t see it, we have plausible deniability and I don’t need to do anything about it.”

      Before it became decriminalized in MA in a lot of places the worst that would happen is what stoners would call “the bowl tax”.

      The cops would smash your glass. Basically to send a message that your being dumb smoking in an openly public space and making them waste their time on you.
