Especially, in occasions where the person who is "posessing" the marijuana has no idea that the marijuana is there. In addition, the consequences for first-time marijuana usage include: 100+ Hours of Community service, classes on drug abuse that you have to pay for and are not reimbursed for time lost from work, possible/probable loss of job depending on your line of work, and, at least in Florida, a permanently tarnished permanent record.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Also, what it takes to get charged for "Posession of Marijuana with the intent to sell" is pretty ridiculous. A few oz.'s of marijuana, enough to smoke with a couple of people can get you jail-time, and permanently labeled as a drug-dealer. After which, you have no choice but to become a drug-dealer, because you are a felon and cannot get hired.<BR/><BR/>Your comparison to legalization of alcohol is interesting.
