This is in Northwestern Illinois where I live. One year from now the special substance will be legal in this state. So why are the police making a big fucking deal out of 4 pounds of the stuff in a lady's car?

According to a release from the Kewanee Police, a traffic stop on March 7th led to the arrest of Maddie Walker of Peoria. A canine unit performing a free air sniff around the vehicle alerted Kewanee Police to the presence of narcotics.
