Even the cops can smoke when off duty. Some of them anyway. Depends who they work for and what's allowed in the piss tests. That's a tough life and many drink, then some turn into assholes. Better off numbing the pain with a joint since they're going to self medicate anyway...

I did mention I'd be taking off for a bit, before I left. No need to worry about me. I always show up, eventually. Right now I'm focused on getting healthy and staying there. Just living. Might start working soon as well.
