83 grams sounds so much worse than 2.93 ounces. They were right in the eighties the metric system is fun.

Don't be so melodramatic Elmhurst PD, it is only 2.9 ounces. 60 bucks? Come on. Plus, way to take away the guy's rehabilitation opportunity to work by seizing his car. The location by the way, is where our lovely Elmhurst College students reside. Let them kids smoke some weed and listen to Bob Marley. Killjoys!

I agree Jim, I think most citizens agree about that fact, yet this brutalization by the police is simply a thirst for legalized theft, and pillage of others property.
Hopefully one day Illinois will get out of this era of demonizing an herb that the US Government has held a patent on since 1942 showing it is a neuro-antioxidant, and that taxing it so it could be purchased at Walgreens would be a much smarter thing to do rather than the later. If I were a juror I would without a doubt regardless of the evidence declare this man not guilty, and innocent. The drug laws in this country are a blatant violation of the US Constitution. The US Constitution was actually written on HEMP. Believe it or not. We need citizens to unite a petition to reverse the draconian laws in this state to serve the people, rather than brutalize them.

Students will start leaving Elmhurst College for schools in Colorado, Oregon, Michigan, etc. I posted several weeks ago about the evil of arresting printing an 18 year old's name for possession of cigarette papers as "paraphanelia" so that when his name is searched 20-30 years from now, that will be shown to prospective employers, etc. And who writes laws that allows our Police to Grand Theft Auto? I hope our new Police Chief has common sense and compassion...
