Even back in the 80's and 90's, we rarely made arrests for personal use quantities of cannabis. It pretty much had to rise to the level of felony trafficking or invollve children before we bothered with enforcement action.
More commonly, an arrested drug dealer would be distributing weed along with meth, cocaine and or heroin (street dealers diversify). That would get our attention, but even then we'd see the same guys back on the same corner a week later, because they would plea out to the lesser offense of simple possession In exchange for dropping the felony charges.
When you see a story about people doing time for minor offenses, realize that minor offense is likely not representative of the crime they were originally accused of. Nearly all convictions are the result of plea bargains.. trafficking become possession with intent to distribute, Distribution becomes possession, Robbery becomes petit theft, Burglary becomes Trespass, Aggravated Battery becomes simple assault, etc. Actual trials are rare.
Yes, the Trumpnsupporting election deniers, but also the Bideniers. You know, the folks that deny Biden is responsible for anything at all. It is almost as if his presidency never happened.
