>> I find the claims that the country is insanely harsh on first time minor possession to not match what I've seen all my life. A friend of my daughter received a felony conviction with a five year sentence for possession of < 2oz. His sentence was suspended except for something like six months. But it still made him a felon. He hasn't been employed since, AFAIK. I would argue that is insanely harsh. Perhaps you don't think so. That kid has no chance, or dramatically reduced chances, in life as a result of something stupid he did as a young adult. I don't blame you for being ignorant about this. But I do blame a government that just can't allow people to run their own lives in the way they see fit.
