Smoking pot at a concert and getting caught...

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

If ya'll really want to see a bunch of modern day Jeff Spicolis, I highly recommend you come visit me and we'll stop by Arby's and Quiznos for a few meals and we can make fun of the toasted employees.......oh I wish everything were that amusing in my life

Just what in the hell do you think you're doing? Watching stoned people and having some food.

surprisingly at a Green Day concert, there were 10 yr old kids and younger! They shouldn't be exposed to that.

While I agree that you shouldn't be smoking it in public, pot or not, a rock concert isn't a good environment for a 10 yr old, period. You're gonna have drunken, rowdy, indiscriminate fans no matter what, unfortunately. Still, I can't wait for the next music festival to come to town. I'm not a 10 yr old kid, if you get my drift.

That's pretty funny considering Green Day's name comes from the pot-smoking habits they had, or still have. At least that's what I've read.

Yeah, it's true. A "green day" is a day where you stay at home and smoke weed all day. They even wrote a song about it, aptly titled "Green Day":

A small cloud has fallen
The white mist hits the ground
My lungs comfort me with joy
Vegging on one detail
The rest just crowds around
My eyes itch of burning red

Besides the weed, what about the massive amounts of cursing and and sexual innuendo? On the AI tour, Billie Joe started touching himself and moaning quite loudly during "Hitchin' A Ride". Trust me, a 10-year old is gonna be fucked up one way or another at a Green Day concert.

This is comparatively tame, but Billie Joe got arrested after a Green Day concert in Milwaukee for mooning the crowd.

But keep in mind Milwaukee is the same fun-loving town that arrested George Carlin for doing his "seven words you can't say in public" routine, and whose cops decided to feel up Wendy O. Williams of the Plasmatics while arresting her.

I wasn't at that Green Day concert. I would've been 14 when it happened. I just saw it on the news.

Ok just to let everyone know. It was an indoor concert. I'm glad the guy got booted because I wasn't going to deal with smelling pot for the entire concert. The smell bothers me.

Second, Billie Joe mooned our audience for a quick second. He didn't get in trouble. LOL

smoking weed + concerts go hand in hand. Any bigger show i've seen (so not in a dark little small local club) always has the reek of weed aroudn it and i've never seen anyone thrown out because of it.

I imagine security probably doesn't care as long as the potheads arne't causing any trouble.

Worst thing i've seen at a concert was a double headliner with Slayer and Marilyn Manson.

I'm a manson fan and i went w/ a few friends KNOWING this would be trouble... In that in one confined area whoever is promoting this show is mixing mullet wearing metalheads... and goths.

I think I was there for all of 5 minutes before the fights started lol

At an outdoor concert you can't really expect any less. And to be fair, if the person smoking isn't harming anyone then who cares, right?
Sure the smoke itself is annoying to some people, but if you're going to an outdoor concert you should prepare yourself for STFU Mode; you know what you're getting into.

Although what kills me about the Molson Ampitheatre here is that pot smokers = totally ok (and I have no issue with them either - I just move over if the smoke is too strong) but people standing 5 feet off the lawn = CRIMINALS!
Seriously, I was threatened with being thrown out more than once because I was standing on the concrete not the grass, which was full of people giving me no room to move backwards.

Eventually I just told security to piss off and leave me alone or start laying sod for a bigger lawn space.

I guess she was just so fed up with the 80s metal heads that she decided, "Yeah, maybe I will just piss off."

Charles Barkley once said that Milwaukee had the best or the worst jails (I forget which.) A LOT of famous people get arrested there.

they're trying too hard to stay relevant by becoming overtly political.

Overtly?
