You know, this is a pretty common refrain from the folks who want the hobby decriminalized. In reality, it rings hollow. Without looking, I'm willing to bet $5 that if someone studied every set of initial charge "stacks" in Agh county of the past 20 years (where the cops pinch a provider for providing, and then throw on the stuff about cell phones, rubbers, illegal substances) that the vast majority of what is either plead to at the outset or convicted more often than not has the substance charges and the hobby charges, not the providing charge and having a cell phone.
I'll do you one further: I'm not even really talking about
having, say, the happy green trees present on either party. I mean transacting it, while transacting the hobby.
