Well, Snoop Dogg was at an airport in Norway, and the authorities pulled him out of line and searched him. He had 8 grams of marijuana in his possession. So they made him pay an almost 2 thousand dollar fine and he went on his way.
So this is what, the 15th time that's happened to him? It doesn't even matter anymore.
Marijuana possession and use is slowly being decriminalized around the country and the world. In fact, today in Chicago, the government vehemently passed a law that decriminalized possession. What does this mean? Well it means that possessing 15 grams or less of marijuana now warrants a fine between $250 and $500 instead of being arrested, sent to jail, going to court, and getting the case thrown out anyway. 80-90% of marijuana cases get thrown out a year in Chicago court systems.
I know this is going off on a tangent, but expect to see this trend happening a lot in cities and states all around the country.
