It's pretty common and relatively harmless, certainly not worthy of sending people to jail for mere possession of small amounts, in most states if it's not legal it is usually just a minor charge like a parking ticket and doesn't earn you a criminal record. It's kinda silly for it to be legal in say Ma, but not in CT . Personally I haven't smoked anything in 10+ years but was once a pothead, even a small time dealer always had at least 4 ounces, the traditional triple beam scale,etc.many days I'd bust my (__*__) all day doing construction work,come home and have people waiting at my door and make more money in 15 minutes than I made all day working, and I was small time, the good old days back in the barrio in Carlsbad, Ca. I can never be persecuted for it, the statue of limitations covers that . I loved that neighborhood, specifically Roosevelt street area, known locally as the barrio. It's mostly Mexicans there, but I fit right in somehow. I looked up the duplex I used to live at, it was nothing fancy at all, sold for about 200 k in 1999 or so, now valued at 1.2 million, I couldn't even afford to move back there and literally live on the wrong side of the train tracks. It's a short walk to the Beach, crossing the train tracks, the other side is even more expensive, it wasn't ridicorous back in the 80's, couldn't touch it now .
Working a job is for fools
