    Pretty cool, thats a pretty big step imo a qp or less, just be nice to the cop and tell him you are buying that for personals.

    "Most marijuana users aren't violent criminals," said Rob Kampia, executive director of the Marijuana Policy Project. "If they are violent, they'll get arrested for the violence."

    amen

    "It would actually make the most sense not to cite anyone for marijuana and not put them in jail or fine them at all -- it should be legal," said Kampia. "However, this is a step in the right direction." :hello:

    While you don't have to get arrested and go to jail right away which is good... the charges have not changed so you can still easily end up on probation / jail time.

    Do you have any other sources talking about this new law/policy?

    I just have one thing to say: ABOUT TIME.

    Common sense people, this is the way it always should have been (besides legal of course). Only problem is running into the asshole cops who have a personal vendetta on the punks with weed. Still, I can breathe just a bit easier knowing this information. We will win this war!

    I live in Austin TX and while this is indeed a big leap forward, it's been common practice for sometime for the cops to let you go if you're not really a threat. Also it says at the policeman's discretion...so I'm guessing they will still take you in if they don't like your attitude (which most cops have a very low tolerance for).

    But anyways HOORAY 1 step closer to legal!!

    it's basically the same, you just don't get arrested on spot. you still go to court and get charged. I hate police discretion i wrote a whole paper about how pigs should not have it.
