I could have been more clear I guess. The police don't think of you as the vicitim necessarily (although some might), but the system considers you a victim. This is identifiable by simply comparing the punishments for selling/cultivation and possession. Like you said, it's typically not worth the effort to bust a user unless it's overtly obvious, like smoking in your car or as you're walking down the street.

I've had friends caught with a half ounce and the cop just gave it back and didn't mention it.

In my younger and dumber days I was caught at a house party with a bunch of people smoking weed. The cop just asked us if there was anything besides alcohol and weed, we said "no" and they left!

This was in L.A. though..your mileage may vary..
