Many folks are under the mistaken impression that cannabis (marijuana) users mostly get off with only a ticket. Truth is a substantial number of people do jail time for mere possession.
The U.S. govt says cannabis has no legitimate medical use and yet they themselves contract the growing and supply of cannabis to several people in the U.S. Yep, at the University of Mississippi ... do some googling on that ... talk about contradictions!
