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  |
6 years?
To get that much time you'd need to be busted with alot along with scales, baggies, and other things to prove intent to sale.
Laws varies alittle by state. Here in Texas anything under 2 onces is just a class C or B(don't remember) misdemeanor. In some of the mroe liberal states it's not even a misdemeanor if it's under 1 once, more like a traffic ticket.
First time I was just given a ticket with an order to appear in court. Second was a different county and they required you to be detained for it. Spend the night in jail, posted bail in the morning. Get the bail minus fines and court costs back if you show up on your court date.
