I think this is a classic “grass is always greener” scenario. If the HipAA Pot Among Us clause were activated a lot of citizens would get their noses out of joint. If I may be blunt, we would have to weed out these dopes (and all their buds) from society. It’s a chronic problem. mmm ---

Marijuana comes in lollypop form too nowadays. One way or another we’ll get this problem licked. ---

I don’t think it’s common knowledge, but apparently if you have a friend with medical marijuana, and you create a wordless tune while they are smoking, they basically have to let you smoke the rest of it. I just saw an article about it: “Lore in Back Hall: Hum, Free Bogart”. ---

I suppose they could issue the same card to two people: joint custody. ---

What do Wheel of Fortune and pot dealers have in common? They both charge $250 for an “O”. Did you hear about the man who walked into a bank with a bag of weed? He wanted to open a joint account. The other day I was smoking a joint, which I accidentally dropped and set the couch on fire. Quickly I phoned up the fire department, and the fireman asked, “How do we get there?” I answered: “DUH, in a big red truck!” A stoner decides to go ice fishing. He gathers the necessary equipment and goes to the nearest frozen ice. About 20 feet out he cuts a hole in the ice. Suddenly a voice booms out: “THERE’S NO FISH THERE!” The stoner shrugs, walks another 20 feet and starts to cut another hole in the ice. “THERE’S NO FISH THERE, EITHER!” booms the voice. The stoner, confused, says: “Is that you, God?” The booming voice says: “NO. I OWN THE FUCKING ICE RINK!” ---

A bipartisan bill legalizing medical marijuana for use in alleviating symptoms of arthritis would be joint support for joint support for joint support!. ---

Will my card allotment pass to my spouse when I die? IOW, joint survivorship? Will a synthetic marijuana cigarette show up on an x-ray? Some artificial joints do. What if I’m sold a defective spiff? Do they offer joint replacement? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hipaa-suggestion/642391.md?page=1)
