What are your local cannabis laws?

Where I'm origionally from, Illinois, it is bullshit. When sitting in court, I witnessed several people get 1 or 2 years for domestic assault, or theft in excess of 10,000, etc...then a guy who grew a couple plants got 10 years. Really shows how much the government cares about its citizens.

D etails
Possession of marijuana is punishable by 90 days - 6 months in jail and a fine up to $1,000. Possession with intent to
manufacture or deliver a controlled substance is a felony and can result in imprisonment of not less than one year and not
more than five years, or a fine of fifteen thousand dollars, or both.
Conviction of possession of less than 15 grams triggers an automatic conditional discharge. Conditional discharge does
not apply to a defendant who has previously been convicted of any offense relating to narcotic drugs or marijuana.
Cultivation, delivery or sale is punishable by 1 - 5 years in prison and a fine up to $15,000. Sale to a minor or sale within
1,000 feet of a school requires a two-year mandatory minimum sentence for the sale.
Transportation of marijuana into the state with the intent to deliver is punishable by 1 - 5 years in prison and a fine up to
$15,000.
Subsequent offenses double the possible penalties.
Operating an illegal drug paraphernalia business is punishable by 6 months - 1 year in jail and a fine up to $5,000.
Conditional release: The state allows conditional release or alternative or diversion sentencing for people
facing their first prosecutions. Usually, conditional release lets a person opt for probation rather than trial. After
successfully completing probation, the individual's criminal record does not reflect the charge.
Mandatory minimum sentence: When someone is convicted of an offense punishable by a mandatory
minimum sentence, the judge must sentence the defendant to the mandatory minimum sentence or to a higher
sentence. The judge has no power to sentence the defendant to less time than the mandatory minimum. A
prisoner serving an MMS for a federal offense and for most state offenses will not be eligible for parole. Even
peaceful marijuana smokers sentenced to "life MMS" must serve a life sentence with no chance of parole.
