Law Enforcement
Spotsylvania felt a little more lenient than Fredericksburg. Younger officers had a tougher reputation than the older ones, with the local line putting ‘older’ at just 28. A half gram was the informal threshold people worried about, but one stop involving roughly 0.4–0.7 g ended with a reminder to clean out the car. Virginia’s adult-possession rules have since changed, as covered in Marijuana Laws.
