    Yes..

    Source(s): I am a retired police officer. I retired as a sergeant, after 29 years, from a very large department, about 12,000 officers. I was a patrol officer for 4 years in a very diverse area. I was a tactical officer in the high rise project areas of my city. We called it vertical patrol in that we walked the the stairways of the high rises most of the time. I did that for 5 years and was promoted by test to detective. I worked violent crime (homicide, sex, officer involved shootings, robbery, kidnapping, serious non property incidents) for 11 years until I was promoted to sergeant. I worked as a street supervisor, a bicycle patrol supervisor and a desk sergeant/watch commander. During my time as a tactical officer and a detective I was a unit representative for the police union. I have a B.A in English and an M.S. in Law Enforcement Administration..

    ridikkulus. Smoking pot is against federal law. Federal law takes precedence over state law. it is against the law for prison officials to allow perisoners to break the law. TCP is not a drug like insulin it is a controlled substance line crack cocaine or crystal meth.

    It is important to note that no real doctor would ever prescribe marijuana to anyone if they had researched the danger involved.

    Marijuana is an illegal and dangerous drug. Illegal drugs are not allowed in prison.

    No. Just as most legal narcotics are not allowed in prison, prisoners should not be allowed to smoke weed, even if it's legal in their state.
