No, not taxpayer dollars at work, taxpayer dollars being exchanged to line the pockets of a few. Mercenary’s collecting for the Government know TOBACCO should be the schedule 1 drug as it is more deadly, toxic and addictive.
Even the medicinal state run program is a sham. You have to register for treatment. Now what other medication do you have to register with the state to receive? Chemo? Oxy? Morphine? Placidils? Penicillin? Penis enlargement pills? NO. None.
Cops are scum.

That's illegal weed, it cooks your brain like an egg in a frying pan. Unlike it's legal counterpart medical marijuana which has a ton of medical applications as well as putting you in a great mood.
The only difference between these two is that the first is grown by Mexicans and sold by Blacks and the second is grown by companies with government licenses and sold by companies with government licenses and these licenses always seem to land in the hands of politicians friends.
Take a guess which group gets sent to prison.

No court dates necessary, unless you want to dispute the charge. The penalty is just a fine. No jail time for less than 10 grams. It's a misdemeanor under Maryland law. Pay the fine and go about your life.

Legalization in Maryland is coming folks. As soon as the distribution system is up and running for medical marijuana, our legislators will work on the taxation and rules for recreational use. Recreational pot is already available to Maryland residents, if they're willing to take a road trip to nearby states. Just like with gambling, Maryland couldn't stand for letting other nearby states get the revenue from gambling by Maryland residents. So they legalized it in Maryland. Same thing is happening with marijuana.
