The weed warriors are back, peddling pot for the California ballot. And one old tale they're spinning is pure bunk.
It's that too much tax money, cop time and jail space are wasted corralling and incarcerating marijuana users.
Maybe that was true decades ago. But today it's a myth. No one gets busted and jailed for merely smoking a joint.
Anyone who's caught possessing less than an ounce of marijuana - about a sandwich-baggie-full - is, at worst, cited for an infraction and pays a fine, like for a traffic ticket.
If you're illegally trafficking - possessing a load for sale or hawking the drug - it can be either a misdemeanor or felony.
