There is product used by acupuncturists called Moxa. It is burnt and, smudge-like, wafted over the patient. The smell, especially over time, is very similar to cannabis.
I worked with an acupuncturist who loved to use Moxa. At the end of the day, he *reeked* I used to suggest he keep Moxa in his car in case he was pulled over.
While I was working, I found out that anyone that had an accident that went to the clinic also got a drug screen. I was two years from retirement and gave pot up. I actually had a small pension at stake. I needed that money.
I told my psychiatrist I did not want to carry around a pill for panic attacks as a "just in case" thing. Why? Because benzodiazepine medications are Schedule IV controlled substances. And while it's possible I could have a panic attack while I'm not at home that could be helped my medication, it's also possible I could be stopped by a cop for being trans and accused of forging my prescription.
This is also your friendly reminder that arsenic is over-the-counter without a requirement for the purchaser to show ID. As far as the government is concerned, arsenic is much safer than antidepressants or decongestants.
Here in the Land of Lincoln too. In Illinois, marijuana for medicinal and recreational use is legal, but employers are still allowed to test for cannabis in pre-employment screening and in cases of on-the-job accidents as well. I chose not to take that risk. I have a good-paying job, and at my age (62) I cannot afford to lose it.
It is odd here. In many countries in Europe, such as Germany, the speed limit is the speed limit and even 1 mph over (or kmph I guess) would result in a ticket.
Relatedly, when I was in high school in Phoenix, they set up some speed cameras along a stretch of the 101 freeway. They eventually took them down because locals obviously knew they were coming up and would slow down unexpectedly (at least unexpectedly to the people who didn't know there were cameras there), which was causing accidents. It's also pretty useless to have stationary speed cameras, unless you're trying to exclusively ticket tourists, I guess.
The irony is that the threshold for the camera to take a picture and a ticket to be issued was 76 mph. On a freeway with a posted speed limit of 65 mph.
Hi fellow public transit rider in San Francisco! I don't notice the smell of weed on muni a ton but walking around is a different story. I'm pretty sure weed is the unofficial scent of San Francisco.
Thoughts'n'prayers.

Really dude?

Weed should be legal (for adults) nationwide. Who doesn't want to eat pizza and donuts and laugh until they cry? It's delightful.

Feeling-Better-inois.
I am a HS teacher in Oregon. The kids complain if I don't come in half ripped.
Yeah, we used to claim "oregano" back in the day.
Let's see, "minor citation for cannabis" or "shove a baggie of sharp-stemmed herb up my ass."
The dilemmas of modern life.
Or "El Duderino" if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
Please tell me you are not making up the name of that case.
Not to mention the day the SWAT team rolled up for my Japanese maple.
