>>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?

A while ago, I can't remember the source, I read that in one of your states that allows use but not possession, on being approached by police the person swallowed the drugs he had. He was prosecuted for "internal possession" of the particular drug.
