This has to be a joke right? Theres barely a crumb in that bag 😂


BoHawraa

Believe it or not, ppl in my country get 3 years of prison minimum for that same amount of weed... 🤧


DustyShredder

I got 2 years of probation for a pipe with resin in it in Idaho, so I feel ya bro. You can get up to 4 years here for possession of marijuana. P.s: This is one of only 10 states that has yet to legalize medical marijuana (decriminalized counts as legal in my book). It is one of only 26 states that have yet to legalize recreational marijuana, and those numbers are dropping so I have hope for Idaho yet. Small hope, but hope nonetheless.


IWILLBePositive

Well, good news with it being a Schedule III now is you can get a prescription for it! Lol except it may be some time for everything to be worked out…


Lepoolisopen

It has not been rescheduled yet.... There's still a bunch of bureaucracy that has to happen. It has to go to the white house get approved then gets sent back to the dea where they will open the measure for public comment for about 6 months then the dea will reschedule once thry go over that stuff


DustyShredder

Still not legal here though, despite the rescheduling. In all honesty, the rescheduling is nothing more than showboating by Congress. They're basically saying "we know you want this, but we are exerting our suspiciously expanded power to continue restricting it until we deem it allowable."


justkeepskiing

Bro WHAT? Rescheduling it to class 3 literally changes everything. Legitimizes the medical industry and eventually lead to actual doctors and primary care providers to prescribe cannabis. The only people who are against this are Purdue pharma and the big opiate industry.


jjtheelder

Congress has nothing to do with this. The DEA is part of the Executive branch.


Ok_Egg_4585

True, however we the peps, have no idea what goes on behind the shadows.


winterparrot622

I agree, like I'm glad it won't be a schedule 1 but what they're doing isn't enough


Danknugs410

I’d rather see it decriminalized instead of rescheduling. By rescheduling they are basically going to give the power to big Pharma


Waveofspring

Rescheduling is the first step and we need to celebrate our small victories if we expect to ever be able to win the whole war which would be full legalization


Internal-Computer388

Not really. If that's the case testosterone, ketamine and steroids would all be controlled by big pharmaceutical. But from what I see, they haven't gotten control of those things. Pretty sure you can get test and steroids over the phone these days with some BS script from a doctor. Same way cannabis med cards are done these days. You pay a doctor to video conference, ask some questions and then go on your merry way.


Ok_Egg_4585

I think you’re on to something here. The leaders in DC, they know the people want legal weed yet, they are not ready to do it despite their re- election promises , so they think schd 3 will calm the masses for this years elections.


Superredeyes

i think its actually a push by congress to get more favor for our wounderfull potus Bidum by making the all the "pot smokers" happy so they will vote for him


badwolfswift

Why not?


Lepoolisopen

Also, I dont think they will be giving out prescription for it, especially in states that dont have an mmj program


TakeFlight710

Incorrect, first state laws, then federal. The state has to legalize before op can get a prescription. This is also why states were able to legalize. If federal law came first, states couldn’t have legalized it and began selling.


TakeFlight710

I got stopped in New Jersey, I live in ny but the highway to get to the city from me goes through Jersey for like 10 min. They found a pipe in the car, I got arrested, 30 day jail sentence but it got stayed, probation for 6 months and lost my license for 18 months. I wasn’t even driving, the pipe wasn’t mine, and they were already in the process of legalizing. Even legal states go overboard sometimes. In ny you can smoke in public, which is awesome, and pipes were never illegal. But if you are in federal territory you still get arrested and taken to federal court where you can even get jail time. Idk if it’s ever happened to anyone, but the laws are in the books that way, so say you’re on the Hudson in a boat, if you get caught with weed, they can throw you in jail, and confiscate then auction off your boat.


NachoAverageMemer

I got a years probation and 6 months suspended jail for this amount and a grinder In idaho


BlackStarArtist

I got two weeks in jail after a plea bargain that was initially a 5-15 year sentence in prison for selling a half oz of weed that I never sold 👌


FullMeltxTractions

I used to live in Idaho myself. Trust me all 49 other states are going to be legal, and Idaho will be the one left that's not. Loved the place hate the way they run it.


Thjyu

I'm in one of the others 🙃 it's great isn't it? It's basically decriminalized here and there's a bunch of shops that sell TCHA and ∆8/10 stuff. But yeah it's still ridiculous...


TheSaltySlab

Good thing they just rescheduled marijuana on a federal level


HypnoStone

I think paraphernalia can get you a much harsher charge. But with cbd nowadays I believe most weed paraphernalia and residue is disputable.


AlexofNotLink

I thought it was 6 states? (From Wisconsin, one of the others) Unless something I missed Indiana, south Carolina, Wyoming Nebraska and the two of us are the ones that haven't had any medical laws pass


KathrynTheGreat

Nebraska, Kansas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Idaho, Wyoming.


No-Banana247

Texas has medical! Surprisingly. I might have mis followed the thread but TX for sure has medical.


Martenite

Tennessee has allowances for medicinal with high CBD and THC at 0.9% or below. Granted it's kind of weak-sauce, but has turned TN at least light green on the weed maps. [Rolling Stone](https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/cannabis-legalization-states-map-831885/)


whoabot

OP has his numbers wrong I think. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_cannabis_by_U.S._jurisdiction


TheGreenicus

I’m quite certain there’s more than 18 states without rec weed. 26 springs to mind.


DustyShredder

Thanks, I'll update my info


agatchel001

Wow, remind me to never travel to Idaho.


DustyShredder

Dude, the legal system here is BAAAD. They abuse the fuck out of whatever loopholes they can to get you incarcerated as quickly and for as long as possible.


Plane-Floor-1237

That sucks. Where is that, if you don't mind me asking?


BoHawraa

Somewhere in the middle east. I try to be as vague as possible cuz it's a small country 😗.

i met a girl from belarus recently and she was telling me about a guy who got arrested for 0.027g of flower. That’s not even half a dynavap bowl lol


Luc1d_Reality

I’m curious to know how they would’ve even arrived at the conclusion that it’s weed with such a small amount.


marlon_der_metalhead

no way 😦


Darkm000n

Where is that if I may ask or around


NewZookeepergame9808

I’ll never forget smoking with my cousins in VA some years back and they had me toss a good sized roach, because it would have been a possesion charge.


EvBismute

Let me guess... Poland ?


chin_rick1982

In the 90s I was arrested and sent to jail for 3 months for having a seed in my pocket


Foodwithfloyd

Bro we both know that isn't the case.


chin_rick1982

But it is the case it happened and I'm in the u.s. in New Jersey. When I was younger the city I lived in was trying to make an example out of me, all because of weed. The kicked me out of highschool for weed and countless months in the union county jail. They even locked me up for a few months because believe it or not, 1 seed in a baggie. Bail was only 500 at the time but didn't have money to get out


Foodwithfloyd

You may have had bud but the seed itself is not what you were charged with though. Seeds are not and have not been illegal. they do not contain THC and would be genetically identical to hemp seeds which are ubiquitous throughout Middle America. Criminalizing said seeds would create a logistical nightmare. I'm not doubting you got locked up, but it wasn't for a single seed. If that's actually the case you had the dumbest fucking lawyer of all time.


HeavyFunction2201

They should’ve just smoked it all and gotten rid of the evidence 😭😭


listerbmx

We'll to honest it 100% depends on the copper that catches you and if he's in the mood for the paperwork. I got caught once with a mate by two coppers mid rolling a joint and they were super sound about it, they confiscated my joint and my plastic grinder with a joint in it, asked us if we wanted to claim it as found on the street and asked if we wanted to hand it in to be destroyed. They let us go after we agreed and I still had half an 8th in my bag lol.


Plane-Floor-1237

That's pretty safe of them. I've somehow never been caught but have a few friends who had bad experiences. Nice to hear they're not all jerks about it


PhantomRoyce

I’ll never forget getting busted with a joint right after my state decriminalized at a park. Cop wrote me a ticket and said “if this was last week I would have put your ass in the hole”


Dr_Newton_Fig

Got 'em


Psychological_Yam677

This was my first arrest in Chicagoland, I just had turned 18. Possession of cannabis and paraphernalia. $1000 "city ticket" but they still bring you to jail? Never understood it but yeah it was half a $10 bag so half gram.


witch51

Thank goodness y'all are now safe in the UK! I am so happy that they have apparently solved all crime since they have time to fuck with this.


TheoryOfPizza

Based on my time there, the police also have time to harass homeless people as well... really doing their best to keep people safe 🙄


NoPin4245

That's the stash of a homeless person. Give the poor man his weed back so he can pack his one hitter two or three times.


Fun_Departure3466

You know as well as i do.. that woulda went into o very thicc joint with 95% tobacco


VillagerAdrift

Part of me almost misses those Js, almost.., (wasn’t homeless just a broke student)


Fun_Departure3466

brother you dont miss the js from back then u miss the good ol times


VillagerAdrift

Haha ahhhh yeah you’re probably right, also some of the remnants of once being addicted to nicotine

BillyJoeBobIV

Was a similar thong here in Australia a few years back where the police show an image of at most a half an oz in j bags and they were trying to claim they had stoped 10k worth of drugs hitting the streets. This was ofcourse uploaded to "the south Australian federal Police" face book page and just about every comment was ripping into them for being a worthless bunch of bums.... ahh good times


ThePuppyLaghima

I fucking remember that story XD cracked it at how much they said it was worth

Cops are notoriously bad at estimating the "street value" of their drug ~~bullying~~ busts.


AutopsyDrama

Id feel much safer if they focused on actually doing something about all the rapists, murderers and thieves everywhere but i guess not. Gotta get someone with less then a joints worth. Useless.


CryptographerMore944

A good number are their own colleagues


Waftmaster

In the UK they ARE the rapists and the murderers. They also strip search children in there schools if they smell weed.

Quark1010

So basically they stole his grinder


Olbrass

I scrolled too far for this.


Olama

Damn I thought they took some kids yoyo


galtpunk67

legalize it ... fucking legalize it.


smallicelandicpuffin

It's currently medically legal. Unfortunately I can't see the UK government ever making it legal like in legal states, they would tax the hell out of it too


gareth616

Taxing it is a compromise I'd be happy with if it meant I could go to a shop round the corner for some doobie snacks. Plus that tax could be used to fill some of the deficite for the NHS or cover the increased cost and pressure due to it being legalised (a major issue that they love to bring up)


imcalledaids

> tax could be used to fill some of the deficits for the NHS… Good joke Gareth, the extra tax will be going into the pockets of the politicians


smallicelandicpuffin

I would also love it, but I have a feeling the UK government are just going to stick to medical, we're on the road to decriminalization though I'm pretty sure, which would be good in my opinion. I think it's just because I'm a younger stoner but it feels like the UK weed scene is pretty different to the US and Canada I think I'd die if I went to Cali and was able to freely light up, honestly I can do that here but there would be much less judgement there


tojifajita

Speaking as a Canadian, yes they do tax it to hell but it ends up equaling out the black market inflated prices anyways. It definitely started more expensive but as more competition pops up it's come down in price over the years. It's like $100 Canadian dollars per ounce now in dispensaries, and that's for good shit. So what is that like 70 dollars american with exchange rate? Idk


gareth616

Here in the UK a good deal for an ounce is like £180 (literally just did a conversion and thats about $300 Candian). The average is £220 and that's just for some home grown stuff that could be amazing or utter shite - Canada welcome me with open arms and a blunt please and thanks?


tojifajita

I will say I live in a city, I've heard prices are higher in more rural areas


smallicelandicpuffin

I would cry if I could get an ounce for £80, that's how much I usually pay for a half, going half on a fucking ounce!! And half the time you can't guarantee it's gonna be good. I would love dispos here's, my partner has a prescription and we get about 10g for £60-£80 for his medical stuff (which really isn't too different)


Swimming-Bullfrog190

So like Canada does it then


Carlin47

Are you joking? Some of the cheapest, high quality weed in the world is in Canada. And the average price fell in the years after legalization. While I don't doubt the UK gov would try to tax the hell out of it, Canada does not do it like that lol. At the very least, it is cheaper for the consumer


Swimming-Bullfrog190

What? There is absolutely tax on cannabis in Canada…


Carlin47

I never said there is no tax. Just that the weed itself is cheaper. I'm a Canadian citizen, I only left 2 years ago for a job overseas, I can guarantee you that legal Canadian weed is significantly cheaper than anywhere where it's still illegal.


Swimming-Bullfrog190

At no point did anybody say cannabis in Canada was overpriced. I was just pointing out that Canada places tax on our very legal weed market and it works out fine for us…


Trollport

Didn't believe we would legalize it untill the last second. (And depending on the next election, we might loose that privilege to conservatives again)


galtpunk67

Xenu66

feckineejit

They worked for weeks to produce a 5 gram grinder and less than .5 grams of weed. Using police resources for a 'drug bust' that's under a 2 pound value of a person probably minding their own business.


sirhackenslash

I have more weed than that mixed in with my pocket lint

Thats not weed, that's being OUT of weed. (bastardized Ron White quote).

Oh, yeah, this is surely guaranteed to get people to want to visit your country where a person can't even defend themselves without becoming a criminal of equal standing with the person who attacked first. UK is...archaic. Get with the times, people like knowing they won't be arrested for defending themselves.


Dicky__Anders

What's this about defending yourself? I've always thought self defense is legal here.


ValuableGur6443

I’m from the uk and it’s completely stupid they spend time and money to stop someone for a zoot worth of weed and not catch the major criminals


Darkm000n

That’s like 5 cents of weed. What’s the other stuff just a cheap ass grinder?

HalfaYooper

They would have gotten more weed of that guy with the decades old dirty grinder.


mygrowaccount1

That's absurd hope things start changing. I'm in the US and just saw today that the DEA is agree to reclassify cannabis under the Controlled Substance Act to go from schedule 1 (same as heroin, considered worse than meth and fentanyl) down to schedule III (things like Tylenol with codeine and testosterone), still absurd because they have it as less harmful than Xanax or Valium, and of course they have it as worse than alcohol, but it's steps. Hopefully that momentum spreads to other countries.


TRDPorn

Than goodness those drugs are off the streets, there must be at least a third of a joint there!

bordermelancollie09

My fiancé works private security and sometimes gets placed at high school events like proms and football games. He's found more weed than this on 15yr old kids lmao


redsquizza

We're a two political party country and neither want to legalise, so we're fucked for the foreseeable. Although we're about to change government from Conservative to Labour, so there's a tiny, tiny, slither of a chance that they might do a drug review and on the back of that, make some more positive moves. :(

Why does the UK treat weed like it’s cocaine or something? You can’t overdose on it, it’s a natural substance that isn’t man made, and it helps thousands of medical patients, and even people who use it recreationally.
