Jeff Clemens wanted to decriminalize possession of one ounce or less of cannabis — described as a “personal use quantity — It would be a civil violation, rather than a misdemeanor.
The Senate Criminal Justice Committee postponed the bill. Under the proposal, a person over the age of 18 who knowingly possesses an ounce of marijuana or less would be assessed a civil violation of no more than $100--a slap on the wrist.

Why do the rest of you get off on the control trip of telling
anyone what they can and can not do to their own body? The
War on drugs isn't touching your real (black Op funding) Heroin
problem because Pot is just an easy bust that gets PBSO GRANT $$$!
Economic Development Departments gone wild would/have benefited
in States that allow an adult to make an adult choice! We're not
even talking about eliminating 300 seizures a week in a toddler
- piss off "I know better than you do folk" and Mind your own business!
