    • 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.
