The RCMP and my poker game
Funny story well more like weird.
I have three friend who are all RCMP, Now every week I run a cash game at my house. During conversation with the RCMP they find out I am running a home game and would like in.
Well problem is I and most of my other poker playing pals are pot hounds(nothing heavy just pot). We take a break almost every hour for weed. Now I know these guys and even if we blazed one up in front of them in my house. I doubt they would say anything but it puts them in a very awkward possession and I don't want that. These are friends.
My only option is to tell them I am full every week or get they guys to give up pot. Yeah right.
Your thoughts?

I would say it's more of just a courtesy thing.
As long as you tell your friends that "smoke" to go for a walk when they want to burn and freshen up, i.e. chew some gum and an Axe spray, the RCMP guy's should be none the wiser. I'm sure they won't care that anyone "smokes" but they may want to find your source for the "smoke" right. That would ruin a whole lot more than your game. And you may want to give the RCMP guys a heads up that there will be guy's, including yourself, "smoking", because it may be a problem for them, professionally and personally.
The issue for them (in my opinion) would be being associated with it and that getting back to others in the service or superiors. What they don't see, don't 'know' about can't be associated with them.
I used to play with some prison guards out west and basically they could care less what people were smoking. I always just played the courtesy card and didn't do it in front of them. For the most part I think they were happy about it hoping it would take you off your game.
When you are an RCMP officer you are always on duty, it`s a part of the job. You have to let them know about the "smoke" or lie to them and say the game has been cancelled indefinitely and you'll let them know if it resumes later on. Two choices one or the other, simple as that.
Moose's suggestion is probably the best one...
Wasn't really serious about the Axe spray and Gum. Hellooooooo.
hellooooo back, notice the smiley? lol
lol easy J:D
Back to our regular scheduled programming....
This...
Have a friend who became a cop not that long ago. He specifically said "If you are doing anything illegal or borderline illegal, don't tell me anything."
Be sure to ask your regulars how they feel about the company as well. Your pot smoking regulars may not feel comfortable....Most members are pretty understanding in respects to these type situations in personal life scenarios.
EDIT... ya, what Dennis said above... missed that.
So anyways, keep everyone smoking. We in Canada after all and its widely accepted as long as you don't have more than a couple trees growing in your basement.
In the end they are friends and I think that I am going to be truthful and tell them that if that offends them then they should stay away.
