Thanks for the stats. You backed up my claim about there being no arrests for simple possession or use. It's the rare exception which proves the general rule. It takes a Herculean task to get arrested for something like weed here in California. Hence the 27 actors who somehow managed to get arrested for possession should be looked at by Hollywood talent scouts. Now, the other stats are interesting: Sale and possession for sale (both felonies) accounted for only 1,600 arrests in a whole year, and this "other marijuana" category with 134 arrests could be smuggling, or unauthorized use of weed killers. At any rate, these numbers probably reflect the top 1 percent most irresponsible and wacked out, which we constantly hear is a very rare occurance.
