I don't know how long the actual punishments would be so im making them up. Imagine if someone was arrested in 1990 for having weed and the punishment is 5 years. That person makes bail but avoids re-arrest. During that time the punishment is reduced to 1 year or made fully legal. That person is finally caught after decades on the run. Besides the charges for escaping is the punishment for the weed changed or can they be sentenced as if it were still 1990?

I have other stuff going on in my life right now that is making me anxious right now, I don't really know how to handle the exposure therapy as well.

I'm not saying animal abuse laws should apply to bugs, but the way the laws are written does it actually differentiate between mammals and insects? If not does that means you could be arrested for hurting a bug?
