And you are assuming he was. There is no fact involved there. His only pot related offense was that it was not stored properly. Like I said before it is totally meaningless to this situation. He could indeed be driving around with a factory sealed bottle of booze on his lap and it would be legal. He could have had the pot in his pocket if it was still factory sealed and it would be legal.
The FACT he had it in the car does not automatically mean that there is a FACT he was using it.
They obviously did not think he was since there was no impaired charge. You can bet that if the thought he was he would have been!
