got pulled over last night as I exhaled my hit..

I've been waiting for this to happen since i started smokin pot 5 years ago...always wondered when i'd be smokin ganja and see those lights in the rearview. heres my story of finally living in that moment of terror.

so last night my buddy and I went to pick up his girl from work. I'd had a few beers at his place and one on the road, and I'm a total lightweight (4 beers=very tipsy).

so we had picked up his girl and were drivin home. we had decided to pack up a bowl of some greens he just got, and we proceeded with the sesh cruisin down the street.

so the pipe reaches me for the second time, I take my hit, exhale, and see flashing lights in the mirror. FUCK!

so the windows go down and we pull over. the copper came up to the window and asked for license and registration. a couple seconds after he asked for that, came the dreaded.."what in the hell is that smell?!? you've been smokin marijuana!"

so my buddy who was drivin explained that he had his medical card, and the smell was from earlier. I still thought we were fucked cuz the pipe was under my seat, and he would have to be stupid to think the smell was from earlier.

instead, the po-po walked back to his car leaving us in suspense. when he returned, all he told us was that he needed to get his taillight fixed...no search, no more questions, nothin..I was certain I would at least get a minor for bein drunk, and maybe a DUI for him since driving high is considered the same as driving drunk, but we went home with no problems.

kinda makes me wonder if the recent laws about not fuckin with medical patients are legit.

Growing up in SoCal, I had the impression that ALL cops were assholes. Now that I'm a bit older, and live in a different area - I've come to realize that they're all individuals... just like the rest of us, some are assholes and some are decent people trying to do something good in their way. I even have a friend who's a cop - he doesn't think smoking should be a crime. Sounds like you got lucky and got someone who's not too concerned w/ marijuana. He didn't even ask to see proof of prescription?

well my buddy handed him the card, but at first he seemed like a major asshole, just the way he said "what the hell is that smell!" not like the cops who go, "oh, shit smells pretty nice", then smash your pipe and send you on the way lol.actually my friends got arrested for poppin open fire hydrants, and one of em had bud on him. before they took him to jail the cop told him that he was in the process of gettin his med card. oh, and the pot charged was later dropped.

so yea, its kinda hit and miss, never know what there gonna do.

There's probably a story about one of the other cops getting disciplined for fucking with a MMJ user, he just didn't want it to happen to him. I know cops, they are cool. Never have I ever met a cop for the first time in a traffic stop/ at the party/ anywhere I'm suspected of a crime and have it turn out good.
