i live in ontario, canada. generally speaking, the police here are pretty good about it. if they catch someone or a group of kids they'll basically just let you know that they could do something about it if they were in the mood to be pricks. most people in general are privy to the fact that there is a huge demographic of pot users, and cops who crack down on them are generally looked at as lame-asses. in my case though, the cops and the court were responding both to what the school wanted it to look like and also the fact that the pot laws were not so lax as people were thinking. it was just bad timing. mind you, the principal of my school at the time was also a staunch catholic and a stoic. he had a general air of intolerance to most things considered normal.

i don't know if this is in response to my post or not, but i wasn't charged for being intoxicated. i was charged with possession. i also had a pipe with me and under a half gramme in a little baggy. if i was able to somehow discard this on my way to the principle's office i would have been in the clear. they might have been able to suspend me or something to that effect, but court would have been out of the question.
