I just moved just outside a major city in Texas. Me and my roommate decided to explore the city so we drove downtown, parked and just started walking around. We walked past a train station and there were people openly smoking weed wondering around the train station. This was in 2015, way before any weed legalization and it's still illegal in Texas.
Now I don't care about people smoking weed, most are nice and at most will just ask if you have money, have weed, or are looking to buy weed. I don't even care if you do other drugs as long as you can handle it, know your limit and stay within it.
What bothered me is across the street there were two police cars just watching. Standing out of their cars just watching. That means they didn't care about the low level weed crimes. They were there incase something larger went off. They were there in case of stabbings, shootings, mugging etc. I got out of there ASAP and never went back
