Quote:I think all of the West coast states have passed some sort of decriminalization laws that are still on the books. I know that simple marijuana possession in Oregon is a violation- similar in cost and severity to a traffic ticket. The penalties get quite a bit stricter if you have an ounce or more or are found to be dealing it.
This is exactly the "decriminalization " that the Canadian Federal Government is proposing as a change to our own system. Yet the US Administration is threatening Canadian Government with increased border security and slowdowns at the checkpoints because of it?
When the same laws are in effect within their own nation by individual States?
Quote:A dozen U.S. states, however, already have decriminalized the possession of small amounts. California, for example, provides for a fine of $100 for one ounce (28.5 grams).
Could someone enlighten this for me? All I'm seeing at the moment is a screaming case of hypocrisy. :blink:
