Zero. People who get busted are stupid, careless, or dealers taking calculated risks. Stupid and careless people have a lot worse worries than getting busted anyway. Dealers practice risk management.
In 1925, would you have spent time in prison, lost your job, and lost your respectability in the neighborhood? Not really. Maybe a fine that was laughed off by your friends. But with this, you can go to jail, lose your job, and ruin your future. But you probably don't understand.
of course. in fact i think prohibition actually increased alcohol consumption per capita. alcohol was not scarce, nor was it risky to drink. most of the time, the people make a mockery of unjust laws. not really. a really large percentage of my friends smoke pot (i dont), and they have no real problems with the law. many of them have been caught in public smoking, and the cops just make them throw away the joint and thats it. any slight bit of discretion and you are never going to have any problems. the idea that we should just alter our behavior simply because something is illegal is ludicrous. particularly with marijuana where the risk is very close to zero.
I tell you what Martin: I will personally pay for airfare and hotel accommodations for you to come visit good ole Wichita Falls, TX and fire up a joint in front of one of Wichita Fall's finest. Let's see how sure you are of not getting any jail time then. I promise you, if you get caught smoking in public here, the cops will do a lot more than make you throw it away. However, I'll gladly pay for the experiment (just not your bail).
I have wondered the same. How about the first one to eat a raw oyster or even a crawfish? Maybe even a steak.... After we started boiling crawfish, who had the fortitude to first suck the heads?:huh:
