What a dumb criminal, smoking pot and then bowling. I'm sure he doesn't have thousands of people who join him to do this across the country. If he did I'm sure we would have report after report of the dangers of all the dumb criminals gathering at the Lebowski fests each year.

Yeah the war on drugs needs to end yesterday, but that doesn't excuse the idiocy. Most of us who do or have smoked are smart enough to know to not do it in a place where police might be present.

I guess now, pot's a threat to the fabric of society..😱
