(BTW, it's not illegal to ingest drugs. Never was. Ingest away.)

Tell it to hundreds of thousands of jailed 'ingestees', paulsen.. Then slither back to your corner.

It pains me to agree with Robert Paulsen,but I must point out that he is technically correct, at least in most jurisdictions.

Anectdotally last weekend a buddy of mine had a long talk with state trooper who told him that he was free to go (He was stoned out of his gourd and wasn't driving) because its not against the law to be high, just to be in possession. I sort of thought it was funny that cop was quoted as saying "You can be as high as you want in America, just don't let us catch in possesion or driving". Oh well.

You wannabe lawyers are so cute...


"Technically speaking" [puff & swagger], at some point in the act of ingesting one is in possession, no?


But whatever, -- you have made your clever, nitpicking point, and that's what's really important, correct?
Who cares that thousands of 'criminals' are in jail for the act of ingesting 'drugs', right?

This Republic is dying because we have too many technically correct bureaucratic clowns everywhere we turn.

Many LEO's would have arrested him for posession. As long as you have the drug in your system, you're in posession of the drug......
