Obviously it's not the big news item at the moment, but voters in Massachusetts today voted to decriminalize marijuana. So now anyone in the state that is caught with an ounce or less of weed will no longer face criminal penalties. Instead, they'll have to turn over the weed and pay a $100 fine..
I don't smoke myself, but it think it's a great thing. Hopefully other states and eventually Canada will follow suit.

i find this stunning, that the united states would be the first to do this. Canada should have been way out in front on this topic considering how much more left wing we are. Personally i completely agree. Now im partially biased on the subject considering i was arrested and charged with possession of 1.5grams.
literally i was handcuffed, harassed, arrested and charged with 1.5grams.

They also voted to ban gay marriage in a few states.
Michigan I believe voted in the use of stem cell research and medical marijuana.
Oh, and I think Washington voted to allow Doctor assisted suicide?

It depends on the cop too if hes having a good day or if he wants do reports....buddy of mine got caught with a diam and was let go without any tickets or anything because the cop just said " too little for the amount of reports I have to do on it afterwords". |

yes, i still have the papers from the court case to prove it. and yes it was a personal problem, but i dont see how that diffuses my origional point of it being a contridiction of country ideologies.
and yes it does depend on the officer. i spoke with my good freind a peel police officer, and he said he doesnt bust people for anything under 5grams. he was rather suprised that it happened. |
