    Wh6 are people still smuggling Marijuana into this country? Clearly these people, non-belongers have not got the memo. Nationals and legal immigrants have already been granted ample latitude in tèms of possession of the substance. If one is so inclined, they have the liberty to grow four trees per household.What more do they want? It can only be concluded that some foreign jackass is likely responsible for this idiotic and criminal act. Lock them to hell up! Respect our laws and social mores or stay out.
