I do find it interesting and possibly telling that Vermont only recently switched their law to allow the states law enforcement to retain 45% of civil asset forfeitures(from 0%) Why arrest and house you when they can just steal your money and property? I wouldn't give a state with money problems the benefit of the doubt but maybe others are more trusting. Personally if I was in some state system in Vermont I would only grow a limit of two and give them nothing. Grow the shit out of those two.
I also would invest in a shovel and some waterproof mortar tubes in case you go over the one ounce max
