Reply #49: I would love to see the rest of the state put a near zero priority

[reggie the dog]

on less than an ounce of weed. i grew up in suburban cook county, elk grove village, and the cops would put you in the can for a roach (nearby dupage county was harsh too) but in chicago the cops have spotted me smoking weed in public more than once and let me slide, didnt ask, told me to put the joint out, but have never busted me for it, hell they have never even taken my weed off of me in the city.

for me growing up elk grove was a conservative hellhole and chicago was like an oaisis except that i was too ignorant about politics to understand that when i was 16.
