I don'r know.....it seems to me that the laws might need a little "tweaking" here. While trafficking in marijuana is a serious offense (which could be remedied/eliminated through legalization), the real concern should be the weapons found. Carrying illegal deadly weapons is a physical danger to others that we as a community should address more strongly.
