Not all departments are being stupid about it however. I know for a fact in Maryland possession is a simple citation, and a lot of the officers refuse to write it.

Here in Virginia the punishment is extreme. You can get life in prison depending on the circumstances. You can get life in prison for a PLANT! That's insane. I'm in Albemarle county though, I know the local police here mostly ignore personal possession. They realize the laws are stupid.

We are slowly moving towards the right position on this. I look forward to the day when it is completely legal, as it should be, and all drugs other than pot should also be legalized.

What we put in our own bodies is none of any else's business.
