      I faced a year in jail over .05 grams and a one hitter back in the 1990s. Im white so I was fine but the latino kid who walked past me that day smoking a joint got time.

      Yeah, it’s awful. I love THC and criminalization is historically racist suppression. I am not in support of the bad people, just trying to help answer the question! Also important to note that police do not carry out sentences, that’s the court and judges.
