I'm happy to hear that the DSP and GTF have the crime under control. So much so that they've allocated who-knows-how-many man hours catching this guy with less than an ounce of pot. They must be really proud of their achievement.
Their time would be better spent driving around Seaford looking on ALMOST any corner for someone selling CRACK.
It's time to reprioritize your efforts, people. Marijuana isn't the enemy, and the sooner we concentrate our efforts on the real criminals and not on some guy and his personal stash, the better for all of us.
Looks like he's happy he got caught

wow thats a young lookin 62 !guess ganja and grecian do mix
Add that great act of law enforcement to your blog for wasting taxpayer money.
It's time to decriminalize marijuana, if for no other reason so that the police resources can be put to better use.
Maybe we could learn something from the states like New York, Maine, Mississippi, Colorado, California and Alaska who have begun to come to their senses about it.
Also lesson the overcrowding of prisons and give people involved in violent crimes more time in jail with no parole.
Prohibition on Marijuana hasn't worked in almost 80 years. It didn't take that long to figure out prohibition on alcohol wasn't the answer, tax it and pay off the national debt.
