If you are caught in your car smoking marijuana in the bar parking lot, can any of the consequences fall on the owner of the bar?

If the owner of a bar allows people to smoke marijuana in the bar parking lot, neighbors and or law enforcement could deem the bar owner's allowance of such conduct a form of a nuisance and bring a legal action to stop the action that you are writing about.
Ordinarily the owner of the bar would not get into any legal trouble for random smoking of marijuana by people in the parking lot of the establishment. However, if people begin complaining about the situation to the bar owner and nothing is done to stop it, then problems can result for the owner of the drinking establishment as stated above.
