Every now and then, the people must call upon the wisdom of the American judicial system to answer the urgent questions of our time.
For instance: Does weed smell bad?
Not necessarily, an Oregon appeals court says.
"Indeed, some people undoubtedly find the scent pleasant," the Oregon Court of Appeals ruled last week, in a long, serious, thoroughly considered, precedent-setting, and thus objectively amusing ruling.
As with many court cases, the back story is a little convoluted, though the basic scenario is probably familiar to many Americans with neighbors or roommates who like to light up.
