This reminds of a past post on the lottery..

A + B = C

To smoke it you must posses it. On the hand, you can be high but not in possesion... Maybe that helps the squabbling:confused:

Personally I don't understand WHY there is a squabble.

If you are not caught in possession then you cannot be charged with possession. To imply otherwise is pure stupidity....

That seems to be a way of life.... Loopholes!

I suppose this could be considered a loophole of sorts, but historically speaking, the treasury Dept. was in charge drug enforcement. As a result most of the laws focused on possession/sale of taxable good (yes there is a marijuana stamp). Without the government seal as commonly found on tobacco and alcohol, possession of more than a certain amount of pot constituted tax evasion....and since the government no longer approved the sale of marijuana, no one had a marijuana stamp. Possession = crime, not consumption.
