4/20 Silliness
I didn't know that possessing a "small amount" of marijuana in Alaska had been legal due to a 30 year old Alaska Supreme Court decision holding that the right of privacy trumps the government's need to outlaw pot.
I also didn't know that a new law has been passed in Alaska re-criminalizing pot possession of any amount. (How a new law can overrule a court decision based upon constitutional grounds is beyond me, but I leave that alone). And why Alaska is going back in time is beyond me as well.
In Texas:
Under 2 oz. is a Class B misdemeanor (up to 180 days in jail)
2 to 4 oz. is a Class A misdemeanor (up to one year in jail)
4 oz. to 5 lbs. is a State Jail Felony (up to two years in a "state jail")

Yep, the marijuana part of the law is dead in the water, unless the Alaska Supreme Court wants to change its decision, somehow.
marijuana should be legal everywhere. If people really knew the facts, it would be legal.
