<DIV><BR></DIV>This law seems to be vague.<BR><BR>How does one know for sure
that drugs are being used in a particular place?<BR><BR>Some times it's
obvious, but other times not.<BR><BR>Here is a simple example. While
hiking on Moscow Mountain last Saturday early in the morning, more
particularly passing through Big Thumb on the east slope of Paradise Point, I
caught a whiff of what seemed to be marijuana. There had been some fresh
footprints -- less than a couple of hours old -- near there in one of the
enclaves where there was still snow, but I didn't see or hear
anyone.<BR><BR>Is it a violation of the law at issue if myself and/or others
continue to hike through Big Thumb?<BR><BR>I have had similar experiences
through the years in several places on Moscow Mountain, the upper Palouse
River drainage, the Dennises, Baldy, Skyline, Giant White Pine, the Samson
Trail, etc. Do people face arrest by merely using these places merely
because a whiff of marijuana is sometimes sensed even when no one else is
visible? <BR><BR>What about when one is driving on A Street with the car
windows open and a whiff is caught? Is arrest possible for driving on A
Street?<BR><BR>If so, such a law seems unconstitutionally
vague.<BR><BR>w.<BR><BR>
