If a citizen did it it wasn't a violation.
Hauncho - it *can be* hard to hide 8 bags of weed in a purse. There are usually different compartments but I'm sure the purse smelled like weed.
I don't have a purse. I don't keep my drugs and my identification in the same place though lol that's for sure.

I had an oz in my messenger bag once (friend had met up with me on campus. I had forgot to print something and about half way back from the library I realized that I had just left an oz in my bag along with my wallet and it was sitting on a bench waiting for anyone to take and then call the police. I get back to where I had left my bag and it is gone. I start shitting myself because I think I'm fucked, I turn around and my friend has it in his hands. Lesson learned that day.

She'll be lucky they don't take her daughter away, and what a fucking stupid waste that would be. Way to go government, keeping us safe by putting happy families in jail and foster homes, taking part of our work away from us that we all know should be legal in the first place. I feel safer, don't you?
-------------------- In ancient times, when demons roamed with man, They hunted, loved and lost, hand in hand, As time went on, the difference between them faded. You couldn't tell anymore, demons and man were related, and some would say the same, but who would like to claim? In time, Gods had even forgot, Demons, too, once love had sought. In times recent I remember, Once I was a man, In my heart I had an ember, I'll relate the best I can but it was snuffed, one distant December. And yet here I stand, no flesh, no bones, no seed or semen, All that's left is this Demon.
