so, with that being my opinion; of course i think it should be ok for severly sick people to smoke it.
WOW that seems a bit excessive for .025 (a couple seeds and stems) . . . did they find anything else at home or test you? Not only is that excessive but I would have slo questioned the constitutionality of the search! Did they have a warrant to search the vehicle or did they rely on the motor vehicle exception? Random searches of cars at school seems a bit overreaching to me unless they had more evidence or statements to back up the search and to procure the warrant.

I agree . . . for a couple stems/seeds a fine, probation or community service would have been appropriate if not excessive as well.
