Who cares if he is a multiple offender? Possession of weed should never be a crime no matter what prior charges you have.

No shite. The point of this thread is that the law should be changed.

Messed up I agree but each state should have the right to decide how they treat offenders. States rights.

what have you done to advocate that our lawmakers should change the law?
Are you one of those guys that just sits around smoking dope waiting for everyone else to changes things that you don't like?

You cannot break a law that you know exists, get caught, and then blame the law for existing

Seems quite simple. Is it illegal to possess it? If so, then, well... don't possess it and you won't have to worry one whit about it. As a matter of fact, how could it be more simple?

The government does it all the time, except they don't get punished for it.
