From what I understand, it is considered rude to walk down the street or sit in the park smoking a "J".
Holland is an egalitarian society. This is not the same as a classless society, it simply means some people have more class than others.
Thus, some people would agree with you, others wouldn't, others would use the exact situation to judge. A quiet corner of a park is okay in my books, on a bench by a path or in the kiddies sandpit is not. A busy shopping street is not okay, an empty street late at night is fine.
Someone mentioned above that you can spot a regular stoner a 66 miles away. How?
I think due to the curvature of the Earth the only way this is possible is if the person was very very high...
Err... it depends on the pothead... some walk like they are auditioning for a Cheech and Chong movie, others you'd not know...
I smoke most days. I've had two jobs since coming here. The first I was promoted within 18 months to Asst. Manager IT Department from answering the phone on the helpdesk, and then the company closed. In my current job I started off on the help desk, and am now an Account Manager, and that was in seven months, I get a car in May.
I've had to get my bastard hair cut and take a piericng out, which I despise, as my former job didn't mind, but I don't look like a stoner with longer hair and a tragus piercing... although at University I did I guess sport the gurnge-u-like look.
There are loads of people who smoke pot and you wouldn't know it. Sterotypes are just sterotypes 'cause they're true MOST of the time.
But now it is 6pm local time, and I'm going home to my sweetheart and a nice fat spliff.

I could see spotting a drunk a mile away because generally drunks act like assholes. But what are the identifying signs of spotting a "stoner" a mile away?

I think it should be at the very least decriminalized--it's disgusting that we have pot users sitting in jail when rapists, murderers, and child molestors go free. It's a PLANT that has many more environmentally friendly uses than just smoking it--which is not any near as harmful as most of the things in the average medicine closet.
And besides, if Canada wants to legalize it and America is going to be bitchy about it--maybe I need to jump ship. I'm sick of being told what's right for ME and my body. That's my decision--not my government's.

Maybe this has been said ... I don't know as I am way to busy at work right now but I just have to pass this along.
It is the Courts in Canada that have been throwing out "weed" arrests left and right.
The Courts have basically nulled and voided the Criminal Code of Canada sections dealing with toking "weed".
Thus, the Criminal Code of Canada needs to be changed to reflect what the courts have said. Either the Government of the day changes the law to reflect the crime as suggested by the lower courts or the "Supremes" will take the issue up shortly. And god help the federal government if the learned "Supremes" take the issue up.
Thus, there is a rash of newspaper articles on this.
Sadly the Bush administration in their haste to put pressure on the Canadian Fed's seems to have completely forgot that it was the Canadian courts who threw out the charges. And thus, the Feds have to react to this. It has nothing to do with the agenda of the Liberal Government of Canada. It is the last thing they want to be looking at.
The American Ambassador should know better and should realize what the Canadian courts have ruled. He or his staff are complete idiots to miss what has happened here or he is playing politics as he is a conservative and good friend of conservative/alliance Stephen Harper.
Whether the Bush administration likes it or not, the Canadian Courts have ruled that weed as a toking offence is not a big deal anymore and now it is up to the government to change the Criminal Code to reflect the court's jurisprudence or face a show down in the Supreme Court of Canada.

The fact of the matter is, alcohol is legal, it has worse affects on the human body than mary jane, this is fact. You can't OD and kill yourself on mary jane, but you can on alcohol. Ask any cop, who he would rather deal with, a drunk idiot, or a stoner, high on a little weed. Stoners are usually pretty complient to authoritarian command, drunks aren't. It doesn't make any sense to put people in prison for using something like that, it only costs tax payers money, and it doesn't stop the problem, hello look at history, prohibition doesn't work.
hey, we agree on something.....and guess what, we both disagree with bush on this one! does this mean im still ignorant for following such an ignorant man (bush)?

President Bush cannot pass a law legalizing Mary Jane, the congress must take care of that end of the situation. Until that happens, he can only enforce the law as he has sworn to do. On the other have if he should veto a bill sent to him legalizing weed, you might have a point.

i was just talking about bushs stance toward canada, toward the whole issue. obviously bush cant simply legalize it.
there are a number of posters that blanketly categorize everyone who is prowar as blind followers of bush, as if we worship the man and agree with everything hes ever done and will do. i was just using this as an example for t h, that every bush opinion doesnt necessarily have my blind stamp of approval.
