We're setting a record here, lala; this is actually twice where we are in agreement. ;)
Marijuana laws in other parts of the world aren't always nearly as strict as those imposed by the ridiculous lawmakers of the US of A. Also, in many places, the police aren't quite as... how should I put it?.... enthusiastic? about catching and detaining their perpetrators.
Many US cops aren't quite so brutal. My brother is pretty cool with normal folks that break the law by smoking pot. He hates taking them to jail. He doesn't believe that mary jane should be illegal, but fact is that in the US it IS illegal. Hopefully that will change at some point.
But yeah, from what I've heard about Australian culture, I don't imagine that lalala's arms are going to be twisted up in weird angles, put into a wrist lock, and shoved into a police car just for enjoying a Sunday blunt or anything elso short of a very violent crime. They have a little more...tact, shall we say.
I'm not coming down on you, Mona, but you just gotta understand that the US doesn't set the bar on how police operate around the world.
