Not to wish more ill upon this person, but in what world does the possession of a substance, for personal use no less, weigh heavier than a direct infringement on soverign rights. Who cares that he possessed marijuana, what matters is that he was DUI. I don't care if you down a 5th of Jack and chase it with 4bennies and a joint so long as you don't endanger others by getting into a car and driving. Yet, the DUI charge was the one that was dropped. I just don't get it.
