Just go to
norml.org to see what any particular state laws are. As it will say, for the past 30 years, any possession or use of 28.5 grams or less has been punishable by a $100 fine, as long as the miscreant has a valid ID.
any possession or use of 28.5 grams or less has been punishable by a $100 fine, as long as the miscreant has a valid ID. But what if he just happened to possess a kilo (for personal medical use, of course) while walking around the park at 1:00 AM without any ID? What about that, huh?
BWAHAHAHAHA!
BILL TO RECLASSIFY POT CRIME ADVANCESThe legislation, SB 791, would reclassify the lowest marijuana offense -- possessing an ounce or less -- from a misdemeanor to an infraction, the same level as an average traffic violation. The bill passed the Senate Public Safety Committee on a 4-0 vote and is headed for the Senate floor.
Proponents said the change more appropriately aligns the offense and its penalty. Since the Moscone Act decriminalized small-time drug offenses in 1975, those caught with an ounce or less of pot have been subject to a $100 fine and no jail time.Oh yeah, you guys in California have been fighting such an intense WOsD since 1975! And here I thought all this time that Ohio was lax...
You're still fighting "the good fight" though, aren't you.
Votest on Marijuana and Drug Reform IssuesMarijuana Decriminalization: SB 791 by Bruce McPherson (R- Santa Cruz) would have made possession of less than one ounce an infraction instead of a misdemeanor; defeated in Assembly due to withholding of support by Democratic leadership, reluctant to support a Republican-sponsored bill.Those Ca. Republicans rock! Why aren't you supporting them? Those waskaly Democwats.
Moscone Act in 1975. Not quite 30 years, but I'll give it to you.
If nothing else, thanks for teaching me something.
