You cannot sell it you cannot smoke it in public. if you are high, as hospital staff believed, you can be charged with DUI (driving under the influence) if you try to drive.
This person did not try to drive.
By the way, you can only possess a small amount and the pipe for smoking pot is still paraphernalia and that is still illegal.
