Knowledge

My guess is Knowledge would still not have the proper permits.

Knowledge is power, may he would...

Recreational is one thing, possession of several pounds and 21k in cash is a distributor. I agree with others, drug possession compared to other violent crimes shouldn't necessarily mandate prison time. Confiscate the weed and cash and send him on his way. Hopefully lesson learned.

It is not illegal to have large sums of cash in the United States.

Calling this non-violent is a little nonsensical. The majority of shootings in this country, the majority of property crimes in this country, have their basis in drugs of one form or another. Drugs, including lowly weed, are a high income business. Rival distributors fight for turf, supply, etc.

I didn't say it was non-violent. Had he pulled a gun and popped a cap, now that's a whole different situation. But on this case it appears he got caught for warehousing.

No its not, but I'm guessing he couldn't provide, at the time of arrest, a paper trail as to where the money came from. And I bet he wasn't planning on paying taxes on that large sum, which is illegal.

Maybe they will civil asset forfeiture him and let the criminal charges go by the wayside.

That's what I alluded to in my original post.
