You apparantly do not understand the difference between an ARREST and JAIL TIME. Again, mostly anyone serving JAIL TIME is there because they were attempting to profit off the sale or distribuiton of marijuana, big or small time. In general, distribution is considered a big crime. Posession (or useage), even in the "stricter" areas still have an extremely lenient gap of consequences as compared to distribution and cultivation. Mostly every single one of those posession charges are not the ones who are filling up the prison cells.. its the ones that are selling it.

The law does not focus on the users of the product, they focus on the SOURCE obviously. Targeting the users would do nothing, because despite legality, most people still know that marijuana use is generally harmless for the most part, but they still have to take a stance against it, being that it is illegal and a bit of an adult taboo for many. So what the law does, is target where its coming from and where its changing hands, since that is a much more effective way to control a substance, where a user is simply like a pawn in a chessgame. The bishops and rooks are the dealers, and the king is the main source (cultivation) that is difficult to get to, but once hes gone the rest of that entire drug trade branch fall apart. The PROBLEM is, posession is disputable. It can be either for the use or the sale. So thats where mostly all of the drug problems come from.. but generally, nobody gets jail over simple posession. In my area, its a $100 fine and confisgation and thats it. I live in New York, and even our neighbor state across at New Jersey have some of the strictest drug laws out, and even they dont give out jail time for (small) posession. Large posession always indicates sale. But sure, it can get you in a lot of other trouble, but theres a difference between that and jail time.

If the fucking laws don't focus on the users, then why were 600 some thousand users and users in posession only that were fucking arrested for that? Leniant my balls. If they think they have the chance to bust a pothead, they do it. Easy bust at the cost of occupying police resources because they want to find the dope that these kids have. Let us live and stop busting us. And mr. dutch gentleman, it's not the same everywhere. You may be happy with the status of the laws or something, so you could care less about what happens with the legality, because you'll only get fined $100...Quit being so fucking selfish. People need to stand up for the other stoners who happened to get busted somehow...because they were arrested for doing the same thing that you do...and it could've been you. Marijuana doesn't need to be illegal. It's a plant...And it won't destruct our society. It could turn other substance users into friendly, healthy potheads. That's what I'm talking about. Give people another legal alternative besides just ri-fucking-diculous alcohol.
