    It may be legal in many places now, but it’s not legal to be intoxicated in public on any substance in most places. If you are going to do that have a sober person with you to monitor. Especially the first time.

    Downvote me all you like, I’m trying to keep people out of jail. Cops can arrest you for just looking like you’re intoxicated and that can lead to a whole lot of bull shit. I was a public defender, I’ve seen it happen.

      I appreciate that you try to help people, but you should preface this with where you are based, else this advice is kinda useless for most people, because it may very well be simply untrue for them. This is only true for a few extremely authorial places. If you live in a liberal democratic system it is almost certainly legal for you to be high or drunk in public, if you do not cause trouble. And don’t collapse on the sidewalk or something.
