I understand what you are saying but it's still true that some people do not want to or feel like living up to the consequences of being caught with "the pot."
I'm just speaking from experience because I have several friends that smoke pot on a regular basis and a few of them have been busted before. One of them received a $350 ticket for having 1 1/2 grams on him (that's not even enough to get some people blazed).
Now if you get caught totin' a pound around you should probably own up to that because you know you are up to no good.
