Return to Sender: How High?

Dear Pot Smokers:

My feelings about marijuana use are pretty much this: I don’t do it, but after doing some research on the topic, I’m not necessarily sure why it’s illegal and alcohol isn’t, so this isn’t an issue of me getting on my moral, or even legal, high horse. And anyway, it’s your choice what you do in private. In. Private. Because if you’re going to knowingly break the law, why flaunt it? Do you want to go to jail that badly?

I was walking to the gym last week. It was about 5:30PM on one of Philly’s busier streets and there were a lot of people out. Including the two less-than-intelligent gentlemen walking in front of me who just happened to be sharing a joint.

Allow me to reiterate here: I don’t care one bit if you smoke pot. I just care if you’re dumb enough to do it in the middle of evening rush hour on a busy street in Center City. It’s not like the smell isn’t recognizable to, well, everyone. I almost wanted to call the cops just to teach those guys a lesson. Not because I think pot should be illegal. But because I think stupidity should be.
