I am on probation which caused me to find an alternative... I now smoke a hand full of herbal blends that give me the same high as some pretty good bud (no lie). Anyway... I was going to a buddies house and had to take the metro... While waiting outside of the metro station, I pulled my 2 & 1/2 foot bamboo piece out and started to rip a few hits... I had people pointing at me left and right. "Oh my god, hes insane" etc etc.... Well, one smart ass decided to grab one of the police officers (I'm assuming) at the station. He came over to me and I started laughing as I said "Ok... Before anything... Just smell this don't even look, just smell it... For a moment I thought i was going to get arrested... Finally he allowed me to pull out the commercial packaging and realized it was "aroma therapy incense". Then I was told I was not aloud to smoke in public and it was recommended I put my smoking device away before the situation occurs again.
What a funny day!
