I used to smoke weed in public a lot about 20 years ago. It is legal in my country now (in private) but wasn’t then.

I used to make sure that I stashed the weed nearby and only had on me what I was consuming.

I was regularly (usually at least once a week) stopped and searched by cops, but I always destroyed what I had on me when I saw them approaching and then there was nothing to arrest me for, even though I freely admitted I was just smoking weed.

The crime is / was possession, not use.
