Maybe that one is over my head, but I do not understand why you think that is funny, sargon. Please explain.
Because making somebody a felon for violating contraband law is the epitome of nanny-state Tyranny.
Prohibition not only doesn't work, but it makes criminals out of huge swaths of everyday citizens who want nothing more than to pursue happiness as they see fit.
When an individual's "pursuit of happiness" is defined by the State or a mob (majority Tyranny) it loses its core meaning.
Putting somebody in prison for possessing the wrong plant (or chemical, or medicine) is morally wrong.
If an idividual infringes on somebody else's rights via force, fraud, or negligence, that is when the law is legitimate.
In all other cases, the law is arbitrary, Tyrannical, and downright Unamerican, IMHO, and it's no wonder that so many everyday citizens lose respect for its legitimacy and disregard it when they see fit.
