I am not sure exactly how it works, but i have seen some press coverage of it lately. Pot smoking is a relativly legal thing here (for a while during the summer it actually was legal), it is in the process of being "decriminalized" and eventually will result in getting a ticket as opposed to jail time etc. I support the legalization, i really don't think a kid wo is 17 and smokes dope should have a record for the rest of his life.

Ah... you've hit on a problem though. As far as I know roadside spot checks are not legal in the USA, so enforcement is a little more difficult and complecated.
On a side note Montreal's first Pot Cafe opened yesterday.... with two arrests for possession. Basically the Cafe didn't sell it, but it supported the smoking by people who borught their own (and as long as it is under 30g it's falls into a legal grey area).
