Pot Cases Under 500 Pounds Not Prosecuted

From Josh Brodesky, Arizona Daily Star: "The secret to smuggling pot across the border and never facing charges begins with keeping loads to less than 500 pounds. There are exceptions to this rule — smugglers who are carrying guns or have past felonies will be federally prosecuted, for example. But each year countless pot seizures of less than 500 pounds aren't prosecuted. The drugs are seized by federal agents, but the smugglers walk because there is no one to take up the case.  The issue is one of resources — not enough prosecutors, not enough jails." Full story here.
