On a related note, given Kansas' fiscal mismanagement I now do everything possible to avoid their borders. I have no desire to be pulled over for any traffic-related reason just so they can squeeze money out of me. Since I've never smoked pot their drug enforcement laws are irrelevant to me unless a trooper tries to "plant" it on me.
