I am originally from Montgomery County. Montgomery County sucks, and that is a deliberate understatement.

You should leave, it will be the best thing you have ever done for yourself, as it was for me decades ago.

Seriously.


As an aside, my experiences with DC cops was always mellow. I think that they see so much REAL violent CRIME that they don't fret overly much over something like a little bud. Maybe I was just lucky, but I've had them walk by me when I was smoking in a public park, say hello and never even mention it. Also, I think pot is fairly well decriminalized in DC, if I remember correctly.
