yeah i'm sure that's how YOU see it but the law sees it differently.

the law doesnt care about how much THC Is in the weed. the law outlaws marijuana, and it doesn't give any guidelines as to the amount of THC being relevant to the nature of the offense. You can have a half ounce of dirt weed that won't get you high and then you could have a half ounce of chronic that gets you high with 1 hit. The law doesn't look at it differently, because a half ounce of marijuana is a half ounce of marijuana, regardless of the quality. So your statement "actaully if thc wasnt in bud then no one would smoke it making it pointless to outlaw... thc is what makes weed illegal" is not valid, because the law didn't aim to outlaw THC--the point was to outlaw marijuana in any form. Remember that the drug laws were enacted with no regard to the amount of THC in marijuana.

With that being said, if you were in possession of marijuana with 0 percent THC, and you were busted with it, the law isn't going to take the time to pay someone to analyse the THC content and determine what crime you've comitted based on the amount of THC found in the weed. What matters is that marijuana is illegal, it's black and white, so even if there is no THC in the weed you still are going to be charged for possession of a controlled substance.
