    I wouldn’t call it laughably small; it’s 2 pounds of cannabis, which is more than 60 joints. If you’re found with that many on you then a reasonable person could assume you intend to distribute.

    Every law is abusable by malicious people. It’s why cops can legally flip over the car of a pregnant woman because she took too long to pull over or why Floridians can shoot a black man for vague fears and “stand your ground.”

      Man, if 2 lbs is about 60 joints, I need to start shopping at different dispensaries. Joints are normally either 0.5 g. or 1 g. Using 1 g. joints for calculations, there are about 28 in an oz., or about 450 per lb. So there are about 900 1 g. joints in 2 lbs.

      How is it that Americans always turn posts into showcases of how small minded they are on both sides of the aisle? Even if they’re about an interesting event half a world away, two Americans just rip off their shirts and start pinching each other’s nipples as hard as they can, trying to look manly as they do it.
