I'm not surprised that there are no incidents in Vermont--in fact, the Windsor County DA just came out for decriminalization of up to 2 ounces of marijuana. During this press conference, he also said something to the effect of "marijuana is already de facto decriminalized in Windsor County" (meaning, he doesn't prosecute these cases). i wish that Vermont would go through with statewide decrim, but it's nice to know that the DAs don't care... ~Joe On Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:27:02 -0500, "Brian Campbell" <lambda@xxxxxxx> said: > Actually, if you zoom in, you'll see that Vermont (my home state :) > and Maine are also free of any incidents.
