Possession is usually an ounce or less. Except in the Bible Belt of course.

There's three pot stores within walking distance of my house. Plenty more elsewhere. Society here hasn't collapsed, indeed you'd hardly notice that pot was legal. Hardly a big deal.

Red AmeriKKKa sure is a shithole country. Seems it's because Jesus, or at least all of the assholes who pretend to speak for the nailed bastard demigod.

you may not be able to buy that much in a single visit, unless you were a good customer and could afford it - pot is expensive when taxed. Re-selling or re-distributing MIGHT be considered a problem it it were to happen, but the authorities have bigger worries with other stuff.

Anything up to 21g is a misdemeanor and above that a felony.

Or because his last name is Holloway, which is commonly an African-America surname?

he would had been welcome with open arms by many asking to fill their pipes, rolling papers. along with a few buds to add to their brownie or cookie mix.

Alabama must be still living in the pre-civil rights era...........obviously.
