Marijuana laws in other parts of the world aren't always nearly as strict as those imposed by the ridiculous lawmakers of the US of A. Also, in many places, the police aren't quite as... how should I put it?.... enthusiastic? about catching and detaining their perpetrators.
Many US cops aren't quite so brutal. My brother is pretty cool with normal folks that break the law by smoking pot. He hates taking them to jail. He doesn't believe that mary jane should be illegal, but fact is that in the US it IS illegal. Hopefully that will change at some point.
But yeah, from what I've heard about Australian culture, I don't imagine that lalala's arms are going to be twisted up in weird angles, put into a wrist lock, and shoved into a police car just for enjoying a Sunday blunt or anything elso short of a very violent crime. They have a little more...tact, shall we say.
I'm not coming down on you, Mona, but you just gotta understand that the US doesn't set the bar on how police operate around the world.

Well, thank God (or whoever) for that! I know there's other countries that are more intelligent with how they treat people, and there are actually good cops in the US, unfortunately I think they are the minority. Ever notice how the cop cars no longer have the "To Protect and Serve" logo on them, at least they don't up here any more. OK, I'm done with my little rant, just be careful folks, ya never know who's watching, and no I'm not overly paranoid, I speak the truth, trust me.
