"knowing that the fed.s are going to continue to arrest 650,000 citizens per year for possessing cannabis."

I don't know that. I do know that 643,500 of those are arrested by state and local police for violating state laws. The other 1% are arrested by the feds, primarily for drug dealing and drug trafficking.

"That also means that every time you catch a hint of the aroma of burning cannabis - you have a perfectly legal right to call the police and report your fellow citizen and have them arrested."

Highly unlikely when, according to your side, all the smokers are lighting up in the privacy of their own homes, after work, just to relax.

You are correct. The fed.s mainly spend the billions of our tax dollars in a failed effort to reduce cannabis use. The various states use their anti-cannabis laws mainly as a means to gather revenue. I guess you might say that those who are arrested simply pay the state tax.
