>Smoking pot is _not_ illegal, at least in this state. Possesion is. In the act of smoking it, you possess it and are a criminal. Once smoked, you are fine. Just don't drive. The DWAI/DUI laws don't distinguish about how your intoxication came about.

Interesting.... I'm wondering... what if someone else retained 'possession' of the joint and by holding it to your lips to allow you to take a toke. but it never left their hand (possession). Would you be guilty of possession then?
