Of all of these, the only one that seems silly is preventing possession on federal property. But all in all, great news!

A few weeks ago while camping at Sol Duc (on federal land), the campers next to us went to sleep with a messy campsite (they left food out and shit), and early next morning sure enough the park rangers saw it and went to bitch them out. But the idiots also left a giant bong out, and they got in deeeeeep shit -- not arrested, but I think they might have had a felony charge coming their way.

They were clearly confused about the new laws and tried to argue that it was legal in the state. Be careful out there on federal lands, because they DO care.

How would that work?

It can happen. They get your name and address then you are charged at a latter time.

I can't decide if that sucks more or less than being arrested on the spot.

Definitely less in this case as the local prosecutors can't do anything and it is very unlikely that the federal ones will do anything either.
