Weird, I met him, he owns the wood shop by Soriana and did my doors years ago and ran for town mayor within his party. Shocking news. Having guns I can understand but drugs????? Bad shit for someone who is employed and has things going for them.

Now 20 grams of weed is not even an ounce. Is that more than what is currently allowed (or at least decriminalized)?

I believe the decriminalized amount is 5 grams. Weed is not even considered a "drug" by my definition. Such a travesty that anyone could make such a deal over pot - like being arrested for carrying an ounce of herbal tea.

I would make it a personal policy to not go out in public carrying more than the decriminalized amount, but sufficient quantities for home consumption must be obtained from outide sources. Growing it in your own home garden is considered Manufacturing and carries heavy penalties - though having such penalties is a product of corruption itself and put into place to "protect" industries that legally pander and peddle much more dangerous substances.

If there was any reason I might consider taking up arms and defending what is good and right in this world it would be to secure the right of ownership of my own body.
