The same also applies to a certain extent in Florida, where any kind of cannabis possession or distribution can be punished extremely harshly. On the plus side, if you are found with less than 20g of cannabis on your person, it is considered a misdemeanour. On the downside, they can still put you away for up to a year if they choose to do so. More terrifyingly, if you are found to have any more than 20g on you at any one time, you could be facing up to five years behind bars. Still, Florida does at least seem to be making slow but steady progress toward a more sensible cannabis culture, but for the meantime, the words ‘tread carefully’ come to mind.
