Can I smoke my medical marijuana in my parked car in a shopping center parking lot?

I think Chamillionaire had a similar issue.

Tint the car out so you can't see, than YOU are private. LOL. No, not really, just hypothetically.

Logically it seems the safe option but I don't want any problems. Thanks.

i myself wouldnt take the chance! law enforcment just look for stuff like that, you would be a sitting duck for them, and get ahold of a real jerk and your day is ruined,its tempting i know but not worth the chain reaction they would put you through even if they were ok with it?thats just my little cherokee opinion.

A shopping center parking lot would be private property. Thus you fall under the rules of the center. At best if you get caught you could be charged with trespassing.

If you must smoke out in the lot, hide downwind. Better yet go home and smoke there.

Better yet, vape. Works great, saves on weed, little smell, better health...what's not to like vs. smoking?

I do it all the time. But i am an activist also. The Cops are called often and i give them my ID and Rec. I continue to smoke or light up another if I finished my first joint. it is the law, you can smoke in your car in the parking lot as long as you obey the 1000 ft rule around schools, etc.

Then why does my Rec say not while operating a car or boat? I think your just asking for trouble. I like my previledge and dont want to loose it:rasta:

If you're parked, and the keys are out of the ignition then technically you're not operating a car. You're just sitting in a car. :)

As I understand the law, you cannot smoke in a vehicle that is being operated meaning that even if you are a passenger and not driving, you better not light up. In your car w/ the keys in your purse should be fine. I smoke in public all the time. I'm just VERY discreet about it. I usually just take a little walk and find a quiet spot and medicate. Sometimes I even medicate while walking. If a cop wants to mess with you, he can. I was a police officer for 1 1/2 years and trust me, they can mess with anyone, anytime. It was taught in the police academy as "creative report writing". That being said, I have smoked within 200 ft of officers (downwind. DUH!) and haven't had a problem even though one of them saw me do it. I was being as discreet as possible, but you don't ask an asthmatic or diabetic to not take their medicine in public. I don't really see a difference. Be discreet. I also must add that an officers response to you may very well be based upon your appearance as well as general behavior. If you are wearing the stereotypical baggy pants, XXX-LG T-shirt that says "I smoke weed!" or "420!", and acting like a punk then you will be viewed and treated as one. I know a lot of people will say that's profiling, and it is. I learned that I am more likely to find dope, weapons, and stolen property on an individual dressed in this fashion as opposed to the person wearing a decent fitting, un-offensive shirt and pants and not having lines cut into their eyebrows. That's been my experience in the real world.:rasta:

Just don't risk it. Or be ok with the consequences if it doesn't work out the way you thought. I mean its not legal medical where I'm from yet and when I go to the bar for pool leagues I usually bring enough for two bowls. So that inbetween games I can go out and puff one real quick. I know the risk I take when I do this, so therefore I'm prepared if I were to ever get busted.
