Hey Robert, "small beans" really! The Haverford Township Police are doing a good job, and marijuana is a drug. Marijuana can lead to the more serious drugs such as cocaine or heroin.

Thats why its being legalized in certain parts of the country? John, Alcohol has more of a tie to serious drugs as coke and heroin than marijuana does. And, they didn't find drugs, just the paraphernalia (i.e. pipes, papers). its a misdemeanor.
