I have smelled it at WDW several times and have yet to actually see the smoker but am certain it was pot. As far as the legal status of pot, or any other controlled substance and it's discussion here I have always had a clear seperation in my mind. Morals vs Law. While an individual may make all the arguements they want about how pot is not bad for them and they should have all the freedom in the world to smoke it I say go for it, you will get no arguement from me. But if the jurisdiction you are in at the time you partake in your pot has a law that says its illeagal then be prepared to suffer any consiquinces if you are caught. In my mind the two arguements are totally seperate. The law is the law, and our form of government allows you to try and bring about change if you think the current laws are wrong or unjust. However until such time as the actual laws on the books are changed then whatever your trying to change might still be illeagal. In my opinion the idea that alcohol and tobacco is legal, with restrictions, and pot is illeagal is stupid. We are partially legislating morality. Either a society should be all for the idea that wer'e going to protect you from yourself or not. If society does decide to outlaw alcohol and tobacco because its bad for you then what next, a tax for obiesity? Even in a society such as the Netherlands where pot can be openly bought and smoked in coffee houses the act of the coffee house buying it from growers or suppliers is illeagal. How goofy is that? We acknowledge you buying it and smoking it and thats okay but when Joe the local grower shows up for his weekly delivery if we catch you handing him the cash then we can arrest him. I lived in Calgary at one point in my life and there prostitution is legal, with one caviate. If you are seen or heard discussing the act and agreeing to the cost of said transaction then they can arrest you for soliciting prostitution or being the prostitute. Once the deal is arranged everything that happend from there is legal. WTH! Does any reasonable individual think that part B (the act itself) would ever happen without part A (agreeing to the deal)?
Smoking pot (in the Netherlands) or prostitution (in Calgary) should be either legal, or illeagal period end of sentence. Its like its a little illeagal but not completely. Forget about it, its like being pregnant, you either are or are not, no one is just a little pregnant.
so at the time I kinda laughed it off. Thinking about it now, I would say they should have tried to be a little more discreet.
