I see some people here commenting on his "stupidity,"

indeed it was a terrible consequence of getting drunk...
but I feel sorry for the man. His friends (or at least the ones that were not drunk) should have done something.

Most states are still a NO....
Medical pot is legal in what, about 38 states now? Yes, Alaska, Colorado, Washington and Oregon are the only states so far that have legalized recreational pot. DC did, but congress had a hissy fit and wouldn't let them. I think there are only about 10 states where it is a criminal offense to have a small quantity.

"Some people" can be relied on to do any number of stupid things. Most people use sparklers, and any holiday fireworks, without incident.
