24. A few years ago, a friend of mine got pulled over after burning one with a friend.

Cop said he was compelled to tow her car and give her a 24-hour roadside suspension, but he let her keep the 18. (eighth) I know many stories like that. Two detectives walked out of an acquaintance's house and didn't even disturb his grow op, because it was small.

I know a cop in the City (Victoria, I live in Saanich, which is indistinguishable to the casual observer) who said that he NEVER arrests or even confiscates for simple possession, even for heroin. His reasoning is that that addict is going to get some high no matter what, and now he might feel he has to stick up some elderly lady for her pension money.

Not legal, but sensible. The times they are a-changing.
