I'll wait for these changes to take affect before I start celebrating. I got a ticket in the national forest in April after the first announcement. The forest ranger said I was on federal land and state law did not apply so my valid state license meant nothing to him. I told him that I heard the federal government was supposed to lay off people who were legal in the state. He said if I wanted to argue he would just arrest me and take me to jail in S.F.
So I said give me the ticket. I did not even think what I was doing was illegal at the time since I had a small amount and a valid license. I got the ticket and hired a lawyer ($1100) to fight it. If I stay out of trouble for 1 1/2 months more I will not have any record.
