Meow Ba

Chapter 52 Marijuana
"Hey, Mr. Mighty Rat Catcher [Orange Lightning], are you looking for me?"

It was still working hours, and Melissa was wearing a police uniform with a light blue shirt on her upper body, a police badge on her bulging chest, black trousers and low-cut police boots underneath, and a ponytail, looking quite capable.

Moreover, Melissa was obviously in a very good mood today. She hugged Ron and joked while stroking Ron's furry head.

Instead of greeting Melissa softly as usual, Ron was still thinking about the inexplicable familiarity on Melissa's fingers.

"Bato, Hara, let's go."

Smiling, she went to the corner and untied the leashes of the police dogs Barto and Hara. Melissa took the three furry animals to the police dog training ground, chatting with Ron at the same time.

"Orange, do you know?"

"Although Hara always looked stupid and bullied when he was training with you, he is really smart."

"Yesterday afternoon, Hara was officially approved by Officer Bob and became a real police dog!"

Hearing his name, Hara, who was alive and kicking in front of him, turned his head abruptly, grinning and sticking out his tongue——[-]% husky's two qi mixed with [-]% Labrador's gentleness rushed to his face, making people laugh immediately .

Under Hara's neck, the light blue police badge like Barto's was shaking slightly, marking that it had become a real police dog worthy of people's respect.

"This morning, Barto and I took Hara with us when we were on duty at the airport, and we wanted it to experience the atmosphere of performing a mission. Unexpectedly, Hara made a contribution the first time he went out and captured a man with a Traveler with a small bundle of weed..."

Melissa's words were still going on, but the corners of Ron's mouth were slightly raised—Hara, police dog, airport, patrol, Melissa, marijuana...

Melissa's words were like a silver thread connecting the pearls, making Ron understand why he felt inexplicably familiar with Melissa's fingers.

This sense of familiarity came from the faint wormwood-like plant smell. In the morning, Ron also smelled it from Police Officer Anthony who threatened him in the elevator, and it was much stronger than Melissa's fingers.

According to Melissa's itinerary today, the plant smell can only come from a small bundle of marijuana seized by Hara-does this mean that the police officer Anthony who threatened him in the morning has been exposed to marijuana, or that he has marijuana hidden on his body? ?

In the United States, marijuana was originally a controlled drug, in the same class as heroin and hallucinogens, and the federal government has the strictest controls on marijuana.

According to the Controlled Substances Act passed by the U.S. Congress in 1970, growing, selling or possessing marijuana is a violation of federal law.

But since the 60s, under the influence of the counterculture movement, some moral liberals have begun to challenge traditional values, pursue personal absolute freedom, and began to promote the legalization of marijuana.

By the 70s, many places in the United States began to implement the "decriminalization" of marijuana.At that time, the Nixon administration launched the "Declaration of War on Drugs", enacted the "Drug Control Act", and established a special agency to combat drug crimes, but with little effect.

By the 90s, some states in the United States had successively passed laws legalizing marijuana.Among them, the state of California passed a bill in [-], announcing that marijuana was allowed to be used for medical purposes, which made marijuana gradually turn from a drug to a controlled medical drug.

However, although some people have been promoting the legalization of marijuana, in California, marijuana for non-medical use is still a drug, and private possession and smoking of marijuana are prohibited. Once discovered, the minimum sentence is probation for three to five years, and the maximum sentence is 30 years in prison.

Even in probation, the parties must fulfill a series of conditions announced by the court, including but not limited to the following conditions: regular face-to-face reports to the supervisor; regular or random urine tests, and participation in the drug rehabilitation program designated by the supervisor according to the test results; DNA samples for filing; not leaving state boundaries without permission; not possessing firearms; not voting; completing court-mandated community service hours.

So, what if the police officer smokes or sells marijuana?The penalty will of course be more severe, up to life imprisonment.

…………

Of course, Ron didn't know the federal and California laws on smoking and selling marijuana, but from Melissa's tone, it could be heard that marijuana was a prohibited substance in California, and possession, sale and smoking were all illegal.

This made the stern coldness in Ron's eyes reappear - no one will attack me, I will not attack anyone, since Police Officer Anthony uttered threatening words face to face, then don't blame the threatened person for preempting the attack!
From now on, Ron thinks he needs to do three things: first, confirm that the smell from Melissa's fingers and Police Officer Anthony is the smell of marijuana.

The second thing is to confirm whether Officer Anthony himself is smoking marijuana, or possesses marijuana, or has only been exposed to marijuana in the police station.

As for the third thing, of course, go to the police cafeteria to have a full meal to fill up the empty stomach and replenish the energy consumed in the morning.

"Meow~"

Melissa was still telling about Hara's heroic deeds vividly, Ron let out a meow, pressed Melissa's arm with his fur paw, and then jumped out of her embrace.

"Meow~"

Ron, who jumped to the ground, let out another soft cry as a farewell to Melissa, and then walked quickly on the lawn to the police restaurant.

Robert had been waiting in the kitchen of the police restaurant for a while, and when he saw Ron appear, he smiled and presented Ron with a special plate, which still contained tuna sushi and miso soup.

"Try it!"

With his arms folded, Robert held a cardboard and looked at Ron expectantly. Today, on the white board outside the police restaurant, it was written that salt and pepper roasted pork chops, creamy clam chowder with vegetable salad, tuna sushi and miso soup were obviously specially made for Rowan. En did.

However, Ron's head was full of thoughts about how to solve the first two things, and his demand for food became weaker. After he ate the sushi prepared by Robert, Ron walked out without looking at Robert. Police cafeteria.

"Hey, oranges..."

Seeing Ron leaving like this, Robert wanted to chase after Ron to comment, but after only a few steps, Robert stopped and the corners of his mouth curled up.

This time, Robert made improvements to the tuna sushi again. After consulting the information, he adjusted the cooking method of the rice and adjusted the sugar content in the sushi vinegar.

Although Ron didn't press any circles on the cardboard in his hand at this moment, but left directly, but Robert could also think that it was Ron who thought that his sushi no longer needed to be evaluated.

"Thank you, Tangerine!"

Putting away the dinner plate that Ron had eaten, Robert devoted himself to serving the police officers who came to the restaurant to eat later.
