Neat looking data you have there. Anything to verify its fact not just your imagination?
I'll put together some exact citations for you over Xmas weekend.
In the meantime, perhaps some common sense and personal experience may help.
Within the last ten years I've attended HempFests in Seattle and Oregon and a SmokeIn at the University of Colorado.
Local police wandered openly among the crowds, and did nothing.
Also, can you name any well known person who went to jail for user amounts of marijuana?
Of course not.
Can you name one of your neighbors or classmates who went to jail for user amounts?
Of course not.
Oh, and if you do think of any, two can play the citation game - send me the names and court venues so I can look up the trial transcripts and see what other crimes they committed.
Have you seen any Cop reality shows that feature sting operations against people for user amounts?
Of course not.
In fact, I've seen Cop shows where they make people dump their baggies on the street or in the toilet.
Bottom line - the whole “Libertarian Outrage” thing over marijuana is based on political emotion, not fact.
By the way, I smoked weed almost every day from 1970 to 1990, and I loved every hit.
Why did I quit?
I grew up.
Took a while, but I did grow up.
