The day ain't so bad after all. If you're pissed over the weed result,

You can now wack yourself. The legislature just passed assisted suicide.


Well that's no help. The plan was to smoke and then OD on chocolate brownies.


What is in the bill?  I can't carry open alcohol in my car, but will it be possible to carry open weed in your car?  I worry about stoned driving.

 "Those looking to indulge in the new cannabis market would have to stick to private homes or at indoor or outdoor 'consumption areas' set up by retailers. Smoking or consuming cannabis products in public spaces would be prohibited, though hotels would be able to permit it in up to 20 percent of their guest rooms."

Thanks.  But I don't see anything here about cars.  Is there something more?

I guess I would put cars in the excluded category, since they're neither private homes nor licensed "consumption areas". 


Okay, found it:

A person shall not consume an alcoholic beverage or cannabis item as defined in section 3 of P.L.    , c.   (C.        ) 25 (pending before the Legislature as this bill) while operating a motor vehicle.  A passenger in a motor vehicle shall not consume an alcoholic beverage or cannabis item while the motor vehicle is being operated. 

S. 2703, para.79


Nohero,

Thanks again.  The driver of a car does not have to consume alcohol to be in trouble.  Just having an open drink will lead to trouble.  I still feel my question remains open.  It may be that enforcement will be subject to police interpretation.
