If you where to smoke a joint at your home in Warsaw you would be in possesion of an illegal substance by Polish law which is a criminal act just like drunk driving.
I had the authorities round at my gaffe - some stupid probation law, as I was involved in a traffic accident and had to sign off on it being my fault. I didn't go to court, but had to "promise not to do it again" and to agree to probation. Really weird as it was not a pre-meditated act to hit an old biddy who walked out plumb in front of my car....
The probation officer came to my abode by appointment. His questions after some inane form filling were as follows:
1. Have you committed any type of offence since you were arrested 2 years ago....?
I've been using BitTorrent to download Hollywood films.....
2 Do you drink?
When I can....
Do you have a drinking problem?
Only when the shops are shut.......
3. Do you use drugs?
Sometimes. There is some marijuana in that pot right now. (There was of course).
After that he became ever more boring, so I had to order him to leave in the end:)
It's that time for mass disobedience again - but Poles are no good at that - they prefer to be controlled. If it wasn't so ridiculous I would laugh.
