This is absolutely insane. Cops either confiscate what you have and send you off with a warning, or you get fined. No one goes to jail over a small amount of weed here. Fucking hell.
Well, it goes off how the nation was brought up.
Anecdotal, if you'd like to call this, but my friend and I were just on a drive in the middle of no where just talking. (He's white) I decided to smoke some weed, something that I rarely do, and this being in the middle of the United States (mid west) where corn fields and crops are, they tend to have DUI checkpoints.
Well, we drove up on a checkpoint out of nowhere at 12 A.M. My friend had an entire bag of weed on him and he had a bowl of weed packed and ready to smoke.
My heart stopped for a bit, but for some reason, the officer looked at us and waved us on.
Getting caught with weed and being high, you may as well just kiss a warning goodbye. My friend and I drove for about 2 minutes, looked at each other and laughed really hard at the circumstances.
