I was talking to folks in NYC - they said it was pretty high there...also Vegas from what I understand - I'd have to check NORML's website for specifics.

Those folks don't know what they are talking about. Marijuana is decriminalized in New York State. The first time punishment for possessing less than 1 ounce of marijuana is an $100 fine. It's $250 for the second time, and $500 for the third time plus a maximum of 15 days in jail. This is hardly a severe punishment compared to some states which will lock you up for a year on your first offense.

Hopefully people will wise up after being caught the second time and be less conspicuous.
