well you can't leave your buddy to smoke the whole thing alone on the trail now are ya?

And they generally get less aggressive too. Let em smoke.

OK...hook taken. Roll 'em!!! (Pun intended!)

:popcorn

I have the video, but like I said I'm still experimenting with the new camera and the quality really sucked (too dark to see the smoke cloud), but I tried to up the image a bit, still not much better but here it is anyway...

I beleive the term is "hit."

I was riding into the city this past spring riding up an overpass when I got that familliar scent. About 20 yards up the bridge I start to pass a group of maybe 5 high school kids just walking along the sidewalk passing a J. As I went past them I just said something like "sh1t smells dank" or some dumb sh1t and at first one of them looked like a deer in headlights but then they all just laughed.

My friends and I have smoked on the streets a few times before, but not in the wide open at 2 in the afternoon... kids these days =D

The wife saw that MJ cloud thing once in Swaziland. One dude opened the side door of a parked van to take a whiz and his bud (pun intended) said, "Shut the door, you're letting the smoke out."

Too bad you were facing the sun. Probably would have been visible otherwise. Thanks for posting the vid.

Putting people away for years for having pot on them, yet letting people use alcohol freely, is ridiculous. Tens if not hundreds of thousands of people die every year from direct and indirect alcohol deaths. I've never heard of anybody dying directly as a result of MJ use, but just in my group of 10 coworkers, 2 of them had parents who drank liquor until their organs literally fell apart and the bled to death internally.

And to put it back OT, drunk drivers are THE biggest fear of a great many cyclists. If you're going to regulate dangerous recreational drugs, start with the one that clearly causes the most harm to society. But we learned back in the 20s that if people want a drug, they'll get it, and if you criminalize it, all you're doing is causing people to give their money to criminal organizations rather than to businesses.

there didn't used to be large scale organized crime in america until prohibition came in and provided the crooks with an entire economy to control. with the track record that banning liquor had -- increased criminal activity, increased secondary deviance, creation of large-scale criminal organizations and not stopping people drinking -- i wonder why anyone ever thought it would somehow magically turn out better with marijuana.
