Pothead nation.
Marijuana good. Tobacco bad. Wo unto the nation that calls evil good and good evil.
I think the laws against pot are stupid and counterproductive. That being said prosecutors who pull this crap need to be subject to serious sanctions including contempt citations and disbarment.
Judges could do it if they wanted to. And they should start.

These various attempts to decriminalize crimes are a joke. Used to be, if you cannot do the time, do not do the crime.
Unfortunately crimes like simple possession are being used to allow for the “downsizing” of actual hard criminal actions. For instance, recently in St Aug. Florida, a 14yo girl stole her mothers SUV (deemed driving without permission), spotted by police jumping a curb to get into a fast food drive through. Police pursue as she fled in SUV with 3 other teens. She crashes vehicle into store, causes $50K+ in damage. They exit vehicle running but two get caught. One has 9MM bullet in pocket. Stolen 9MM found behind building. Mother called. Police advise her of city’s youth offender law which would result in release immediately. Mother, who should be given mother of the year award IMO, said, no, put her in prison. Stolen gun, from burglary, Stolen vehicle, fleeing from police not to mention the damage to some citizen’s business should not result in a slap on wrist in my book either.
Viote in DemocRATS and get H*ll.
Stoner states know if you keep them stoned and stupid you get the votes every time.
See west coast states.
This has been happening in Norfolk for a while now. The judges are appointing special prosecutors to prosecute drug offenses that the Commonwealths Attorney refuses to prosecute.
Isn’t failure to carry out your duties as a lawyer a bar violation? Why haven’t these “prosecutors” been disbarred? Because the State Bar is a democrat organization from top to bottom.
Ping!
