Actually, I'm surprised the police took him to jail in VT. I know cops in VT often just dump the stuff.

Barry, in the US possessing a controlled prescription drug without a scrip is usually a felony. Marijuana is, in fact, the only controlled substance in most US jurisdictions that is a misdemeanor. So, it is punished less than the other drugs here.

Of course, I'm all for decriminalization. On that note, my wife only prosecutes marijuana possession cases if it's a large amount or if the person is a repeat offender. I mean, I may be for decriminalizing it, but I still have no sympathy for these repeat losers who can't get it through their heads to... just... quit... smoking... in public! It ain't legal yet, dummy!

Anyway, personal rant off now. [img]graemlins/rant.gif[/img]

Funny story. My best friend's parents owned a grocery store. He got to manage it for a week while they were on vacation. He "cross-marketed" Doritos with ZigZag rolling papers in kiosks at the check-out lanes and TRIPLED sales of both.
