    In a lot of jurisdictions it’s also not illegal to be under the influence of a narcotic unless there are other factors involved - driving a car, being a public nuisance, or otherwise engaging in criminal behaviour. If you’re high in your own home not bothering anyone (and you’ve already taken all the drugs you have so you’re not otherwise in possession of any) you’re not committing a crime. That would apply in this case.

      Yep. In a lot of places (check your local, I ain’t a lawyer) being under the influence isn’t illegal. It’s the supplemental stuff where you are either in possession or putting others at risk. But being stoned in your own home hanging out is (in most places) legal.
