There is one reson to seriously consider A instead of M-A, and that is a matter of freedom. In a worst-case scenario, due to minium-sentencing minimums in the USA(there are organizations fighting the racist and unconstitutional mand. minimums, do a search), the difference between A and MA is 1 vs. 5years for 5 gm to 3/4 oz., 2yr vs. 10 yr for 2.25-3 oz. and 6-15 vs.10-14yr for 2-20lb., penalties vary based on criminal record, but are similar, but basically, for the small-timer with minimal record there is a vast difference. People breaking the law should seriously evaluate their security risks before risking their freedom. Bozakium does not advocate breaking the law but shares this knowlege for education of the general public on the unjust laws of this cunttree.
