RE: Anti-Marijuana Group Created a Poll to Demonize Weed — and It Backfired Epically

Oh there's still harassment. In Maryland it's decriminalized but the police are still shaking down citizens who they know will have cannabis on them as frequently as they can with bogus traffic stops. You only get to have 3 citations before they can make the decision to incarcerate you. Even for medical patients in Maryland. The police will confinscate your medicine despite your medical card on the side of the road and issue a citation anyway. Sure you can go to court with your paperwork and the charges will be thrown out but they've destroyed $100's of your property at that point. It's hard enough for patients to afford their medicine as it is considering there's no help from insurance companies.
