And here I thought all those years The Ohio State football players were counting the joints they smoked.

Before they let her go on her way, the officers advised Jonas-Boggioni to remove the decal from her car.

But don't you DARE call them jackboots.

It does not matter if she did have a marajuana leaf on her bumper sticker. Its not again’st the law.

“Baby On Board” is druggie code word for “I’m transporting Ganja”. Haven’t these cops figured that one out yet?

Wasn’t there a time when “potheads” had “HONOR OUR VETS”, the American Flag or some such patriotic saying/symbol on their vehicle just KEEP them under the law’s radar?... I wonder if they still do, like “SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT?”

I’ve heard an Obama sticker is code for choom wagon. They’d better get right on it.

My dad mistakes just about every leaf for marijuana. Maple leaves, oak leaves, tomato leaves, rose leaves, parsley leaves . . . you name it, dad has complained about it being MJ.

I’m dreading the day he says that to the wrong person and we end up with a SWAT team at the door.

I can’t do it but I’m sure there’s an FR out there who can post what a Buckeye tree leaf looks like and what maryjane looks like.

Just show the cops a few young Texas Star Hibiscus if you want to get them interested. :)

Yes, especially when the vehicle is headed westbound. I saw this link at the comments below the article. It explains what you’re talking about.

Even if it was a picture of a pot plant, that doesn’t give them cause to pull you over.

And, BTW, no, I can’t see the mistake being made in good faith. It looks nothing like a pot plant, with the possible exception that both plants are green.
