Yeah, that would take some time, but I understand your skepticism. This will probably sound anecdotal, but I know plenty of cops that don't arrest for that kind of stuff. I would imagine most of the simple possession-only arrests happen in small towns where not much else is happening.

oh same here

one of my best friends is a cop and he says he always just makes them throw the weed away and he is a member of LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition)

but cops also use the "I smell weed" line to gain probably cause for searches, which I have massive issues with
