Inode,
I was in possession of more than 1 oz of marijuana which was a felony in this state at that time.
So what's the legal standard today?

I don't know how much one ounce is, by the way. I've seen at least one person holding Ziploc sandwich bags full of pot, and that must weigh more than an ounce. Does that signify an intent to distribute? Of course, they want to distribute it to their friends and have enough for a long night, right?
Yes, but a felony DUI or sexual assault is a violent crime, not merely a crime of possession.
Some say that statutory rape is not a violent crime, especially when the girl is the seductress and the deceiver.

And from a certain point-of-view, a DUI is only "violent" if the offender hit another car and caused injury or death.

We can work on the laws and get treatment for those addicted to narcotics, rather than felony convictions, but to legalize this shit is to invite a ton of problems that the state should not have to deal with. And since we live in a world that is far from libertarian, we as a society are indeed going to pay for all of this stupidity.
