Rihanna is nice enough to take a photo of herself smoking an illegal substance, post it on her own Twitter feed, and no action is taken by the police.

Have you been to San Francisco? Nobody's getting arrested for that here. No double standard, some laws are enforced more than others. This is about property/violent crimes, not snitching on victimless crimes.

No victim making a complaint, not obvious which jurisdiction the action took place, not a crime in all jurisdictions.

Few, most are incarcerated for possessing large amounts. But in any case, state and federal policy are two different issues.
