It's the hard drugs that will get you in trouble. Felony for most of them but first time offenders can get it knocked down to a misdemeanor a lot of times. Though doing so will usually require going on probation, community service, bigger fines, drug rehab class, etc....

Got ya! I was told by the law that the penalty for possession of weed was.. think.. six years, where you are, but suppose they were assuming a quantity of the stuff.
Tho you are correct - govt officers don't want to waste their time on weed. It's kinda embarassing to have to blow a cover for weed possession - and a waste of time and money. It would also not be a first for em to trade weed out as a teaser and intro to other drug distribution and up the tree to the main "players".
PS Suppose there is a moral here. Be wary where you buy weed - and never from anyone who hangs around a pool table and is rarely noticed or appears like some redneck or slut - chances are it's an undercover officer
They are very good at this facade - and their cover will remain intact and they may even get "arrested" along with ya
