Regardless of political opinions and personal feelings about marijuana, I think what is frustrating to some posters is the lack of awareness. Knowing this state and city, right or wrong, weed will be viewed very differently than other legal infractions. Yes we all break the law daily but you have to read the room, so to speak, and not put yourself in that type of situation. The way authority is used by our local law enforcement should make anyone with knowledge of this town be cautious. Laws and emotions dealing with weed are very antiquated and it seems those who enforce it currently still follow the old ways. If Alex had an empty beer can in the back of his truck, I believe, this would have never happened. But weed? Still a whole different story in how it is viewed and that is something you have to be aware of which him growing up here he should know.
