Wisconsin Judge Is Angry That The Courthouse Stinks Like Marijuana

If you asked residents, what is the unofficial scent of Rockford, I think the majority of them would answer marijuana. Nowadays, I smell weed everywhere in town. Sometimes in the strangest places. I've caught a whiff at the YMCA, in the middle of intersections, walking through the grocery store, right outside of schools, and even at church. People don't care, they'll smoke up anywhere.

That takes a lot of guts because it's against the law.
