Anyone who wants to smoke marijuana in California can already do so via an easy to get medical letter (as you know).

After the first of the year possession of less than an ounce (which is a lot these days) is a mere infraction. Fine will be a maximum of $100 with no court, no arrest just a ticket. Arnold signed the law a week or so ago.

The whole marijuana law thing as it stands now is stupid and criminalizes people for getting stoopid, even if it’s in their own house.

They created a revolving door and criminalized so many thousands of people so the state could assert their power and police would have one more thing to do, thus further justifying their existence.

And now some actuary runs the numbers and discovers the process of criminalization is a loss leader?

It costs the government $15,000 to prosecute a case?

and that doesn’t include incarceration.

The state has already estimated they can reduce their burdened costs by millions if not billions!

Lame, Lame, Lame.
