    the same herb you want them to leave people alone for is the same herb that causes some of the crimes unsolved. So let them do they job in peace.

    They need to go solved the outstanding murder cases and leave the herb man alone. I believe the man a sell for one of officers colleague herb. That is not even a pound. Yes it has passed the 15 grams that is allowed to have. Just tax him on every ziploc bag he sold. I am sure he would be smoking most of it instead of selling the 71 bags.

    The police needs to go and get some real work to do. People still being charged for the herb when it is done legalized? Tap the harassment
