But it was still marked as a felony for purpose of record keeping.....

It is beyond odd.

LOL, cops are cruising sports, gun and ammo parking lots with digital license plate cameras that automatically upload the plate info to law enforcement databases that are shared with homeland security, while TSA strip-searches cripples at airports while waiving muslims through unexamined, while the NSA admits to providing "security" code additions to Android phones...

... and you think this is odd?

Yes I do think it is odd.
Imagine the monumental task and cost it is to digitize all these old records.
We cannot round up and deport 11 million illegals but we have manpower to dig up records on a kid getting busted with a few doobies in 1972?
