It’s good to be white. And rich.

I lean heavily towards its-their-own-damn-business for possession. You can snort up Fentanyl for all I care, but you should go to jail for a loooong time when dealing it. Fines for mere possession? That’s a debate a society can have, but a criminal record isn’t a, IMHO, useful outcome.

But just contrast this outcome with Joe Random Poor Black Dude being caught with a dime bag of shitty weed. And without level-20 lawyers and $1M to donate...

Good for Nicolas to be let go for something that really only affects himself. Just wish sanity would extend to more cases.

Beer, cuz.
