>>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?

Jerry;

Add to that - and you did not inhale! Like a former President!
