Smelling Like Marijuana Is Not Illegal

While there are still many marijuana-related ways a person can get sent to the slammer in the United States, smelling as if you reside in an eternal hotbox is not one of them. However, this did not prevent administrators at a Massachusetts high school from calling police earlier this week after receiving reports that one of their cafeteria employees reeked of weed.
The cops rolled into Leominster High School on Tuesday afternoon in response to a distress call over the odor of marijuana radiating from a member of the kitchen staff. Acting on the old adage “where there is smoke, there is fire,” or, in this case, “where there is skunk, there’s a stoner,” officers from the local police department decided to shakedown the man, whose name has not been released, in hopes of determining if he was in possession of the sweet leaf.
Police found no sign of marijuana, paraphernalia, or any other contraband to justify issuing the man a citation. The cook was clean.
“We spoke to the guy. We searched him. He had nothing on him,” Lieutenant Michael Goldman toldThe Sentinel & Enterprise. “You can smell like marijuana all you want. We can’t do anything about it.”
Despite the fact that no laws were broken by the man’s alleged olfaction infraction, the school banned him from ever returning to campus. Chartwells School Dining Services, the company contracted to provide school lunches for the district, issued a statement following the incident that suggested they were conducting an internal investigation into the matter.
“We’re aware of the investigation and the individual has been removed from the school,” the company wrote. “We can’t offer anything else at this time as this is a pending investigation.”
There is a possibility, due to the political nature of the beast, that this man could lose his job even though he did nothing to break the law or even violate school policy. In fact, since authorities were unable to locate any evidence that proved marijuana was the official culprit behind the man’s pungent stench, termination could be found unlawful.
