No marijuana laws during Spring Break
During this time, as a way to prop up the local economy, marijuana laws are not enforced, nor are open container liquor laws.
Spring break two years ago was probably the greatest time of my life. I spent a full two weeks at the beach, getting crazy every single night and soaking up sun in the surf every single day. I had my pals there, we were all of a single mindset of having as much fun as we could before going back to college to finish the semester. Because the sleepy beachside town only gets busy during spring break, the local cops have a real relaxed attitude towards the tourists. They have one cannabis dispensary, but as of yet don’t have recreational use legalized… except for spring break. During this time, as a way to prop up the local economy, marijuana laws are not enforced, nor are open container liquor laws. It is like the wild west, with beers flowing and people walking around blazing fat blunts of cannabis, so is it any wonder I had an epic time? Here is where the story turns, though, because after spring break ends the cops start enforcing those cannabis laws again. I stayed later than everyone else, because I didn’t want it to end, and I went to the beach to sit and smoke cannabis and watch the sun set. I spent that night in jail, and the only reason they didn’t prosecute me for cannabis possession was because the local magistrate was on vacation and it was too much trouble to keep me. They escorted me out of town, and I was just thankful that they didn’t search my car and find all the other marijuana I had!
