I agree with you Larry.
It costs a lot of money an hour to pay for cops' salaries, not to mention the B.S. paperwork that burdens down the CRIMINAL system, and the following court appearances, lawyers fees and more hours and useless wages keeping records of all this stuff and then processing them for community service.
Why can't we just leave these kids and their pot possession to their Oreo cookies?

Besides this, after their ARREST (for possession of pot), it disqualifies them from obtaining school grants for college and disqualifies them from joining the armed services. I think the rules are different if you're caught, with say, USING a dangerous weapon or performing a CRIMINAL act.
40% of our jails are incarcerations for drugs.
And people convicted of dangerous crimes (armed robbery, rape, assault) are out on the streets walking around.

Go figure.

(Now where did I put my Oreos?)
