    What would you do?

    Came out of a Rest Area restroom, walking to the truck. Did not observe the two occupants in a PU until I got a wiff of what they were smoking. Now personally I do not believe that smoking pot is terrible but do it in private not in the open public or where the public can smell it or see it...
