I detest most people in government positions and would happily line them up against a wall and shoot the lot of them but smoking a joint wouldn't be the reason for it.
In case you hadn't noticed, possession of Cannabis is against the law. Ergo, it should be prosecuted.

I fully support prosecuting people for having Cannabis. After all, by pursuing the Broken Windows theory of policing (zero tolerance for 'minor' crime) New York City managed to drastically cut the crime rate.

If the Police selectively enforce certain laws, you're inviting people to break them which can only lead to more crime and disorder.
