Seriously these ppl need to put out correct information,

Spencer and White rabbit… There is a difference between “decriminalize” and “legalize”.
If it was fifteen gram it should not be up rooted…
You people should go back and read over the new law which says fifteen grams and up to 4 plants could be more there. Smh some of the comments maker here on this site can be so stupid and ignorant.
