Sorry. I just came in here to apologise as I realised it was in GQ and not in any other forum. And then I see Coldfire has sort of ordered me to apologise, which makes the whole voluntary apology lose a bit of impact, durn it all.

But anyway, sorry I said what I said, I shouldn’t have said it at all in this forum, please be as you were.

They’re buried in manhattan’s basement.

Sorry, couldn’t resist. No disrespect to the mods was intended.

Well, from **Fear Itself** ’s link, I think my glorious state of California has the most lenient laws:

> [@](#):
>
> CALIFORNIA (D)  
> Please read Preface & Key.
> 
> Possession:  
> \</= 28.5 grams: $100; no booking if you can show officer I.D. and promise to appear in court.  
> \</= 28.5 grams on school grounds when school is open: $250; 2nd offense: 10 days; $500  
> \> 28.5 grams: 0 - 6 months; $500  
> Possession for sale: no specified amount: 16 months; 2 - 3 years probation.  
> Cultivation:  
> For personal use only: stay of imposition of the conviction, drug education, charges dropped.  
> Not for personal use: 0 - 16 months; 2 - 3 years probation possible. No plant number or weight breakdown.  
> Selling, giving away, importing, or transporting into California: 2 - 4 years.
> 
> Possession or cultivation or transportation is legal upon a doctor’s recommendation or approval.

BTW, 28.5 grams is about an ounce.

Not bad eh? 😉
