5 grams of marijuana (about one-fifth of an ounce, or about five joints) says the article.
5 grams?, heck even uber alles kalifornia allows more.
11357 H&S says:...
Except as authorized by law, every person who possesses not
more than 28.5 grams of marijuana, other than concentrated cannabis, is guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars ($100).
The rule is "personal use", if you have 28.5 Grams packaged for sales, thats a felony... otherwise its like a traffic ticket you can pay by mail.
Any small amount of a "white powdery substance resembling cocaine", even if its Meth or some other white dope... is a straight felony in Ca. I believe in Nevada however, ANY amount of weed is a felony... unless thats changed..
Good for Mexico, I say. What better place than our 3rd world neighbor to test the "legalize drugs" theory? I am all for it because I can tell you from personal front line experience, the 'war' on drugs here in the US is a total failure. For every dealer I put in jail, 3 more were waiting to take his place...
All DARE does it teach kids at an early age which drugs are popular. I had one kid tell me his dad drinks and beats up mom, but his toker uncle smokes and watches tv.. never laying a hand on his esposa. His drinking friends got into fights, his stoner friends chilled. From there it was impossible for me to tell him "weed is evil", his life experiences says otherwise...
When kids asked me if weed felt good, I had to lie and pretend laughing, munching and euphoria were "bad"... "go drink a can of Budweiser courage kid and get in a fight instead, eh?"
TJ is a giant poop hole, I can easily see investors putting $$ into making it an 'Amsterdam south' with hip coffee shops and all that... just hours from millions of college kids & consenting adults.
