I knew it was something like that. NY State kicks ass. The laws are almost similar to canada's new laws. But I'm guessing there's no limit to the number of fines in canada, as opposed to NYS only having two freebees.
There are some states that have a lot harsher laws for this though.

correction: NY State sucks ass.
I've heard that when the legislation goes thru it will be legal to possess up to 30g without any consequences and you will be allowed to grow for your own personal use.

>correction: NY State sucks ass.
I meant NY State kicked ass in relation to most other states. If you look at Florida's laws, for a minor possession charge of 20 grams or less, you get a misdemeaner, one year in prison and a $1,000 fine. For possession above 20 grams, you get a FELONY, FIVE years in prison and a $5,000 fine. NY State's laws are incredibly more relaxed.
>I've heard that when the legislation goes thru it will be legal to possess up to 30g without any consequences and you will be allowed to grow for your own personal use.
You heard wrong. It is not going to be legalized. It's going to be DECRIMINALIZED. There's a huge difference. If you get caught you still have to pay a fine, similar to NY State's laws.
