jlallen, perhaps you heard about Marv Alpert. He was indicted for consensual sodomy here a couple of years back. It really doesn't matter that there haven't been many prosecutions.

All cannabis growing charges are 'intent to distribute' here. I heard about a case where a couple was charged after their house was burglarized, and in searching for the burglar 6 plants were discovered in a closet. Hardly 'dealer weight'. As a matter of fact, that cuts out the dealer. Regardless, I wouldn't convict anyone for purely consensual activity.

You haven't commented on the Zenger case.

"There is some freedom we give up to live in an ordered society."

Who was it that said "Those who give up freedom in order to gain security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one". His name is on the tip of my tongue.
