did anyone else catch the short new emery video on pot-tv.net where marc is saying that there was some court case in canada (PEI i think) that is basically being used as case law by some provencial governments as justification to stop arresting anyone for possession or use??
i would post a link, but for some reason my realplayer isnt working, so i cant figure out which video it was in. soon as i get it working and find out ill post a link.

no, its not decriminalized at all.
what i am referring to is a very recent case handed down by some federal canadian court. apparnetly, some guy challeneged his arrest for possession, and finally got it overturned. so the current situation in canada is that some provinces are siding with this new case law, while others are siding with the statutory law.
any canadians out there who can help?

it is decriminalized in California and in many other states..decriminalized doesnt mean it is totally legal though. even in Amsterdam it isnt totally legal, it is decriminalized.

pot may be decriminalized in Ohio, but check out the penalty for paraphenalia... a joint is paraphenalia in Ohio so it still sucks there

my bad.....very vague though "to some degree"
i stand corrected 
Decriminalization: The state has decriminalized marijuana to some degree. Typically, decriminalization means no prison time or criminal record for first-time possession of a small amount for personal consumption. The conduct is treated like a minor traffic violation.

a misdemeanor doesn't count as a conviction for job/loan/license applications.
