Drug paraphernalia was decriminalized in the state, even if it contains drug residue, but the reform did not change an existing law that treats bong water as a controlled substance.

        The headline is pulling a bait and switch.

        Not that it’s still agreeable, but sentencing guidelines seem to suggest 7 years for a guilty on the charge.30 years is an absolute max. Given the variables of the details and lawyers involved, a diversion program with a suspended sentence seems possible to me as a semi-informed layperson.

        So yeah, if you are of strong view that possession of drugs including meth should be legal (and I know some people are) and you understand that 7 years or less is what is the likely punishment, I think informed resistance to that can be valid. Unfortunately the article title (and it being posted in a weird news community here) is trying to frame it as “pot water = 30 years” for anyone who just skims.
