Under HB 465, possession of up to 4 ounces of marijuana would be a civil penalty with increasing fines between $50 and $300. Possession of more than 4 ounces but less than 8 ounces would be a misdemeanor, with no potential for jail time.
Currently, in this state, possession of up to 1 ounce of marijuana is a petty misdemeanor crime with fines and possible jail time. Possession of more than 1 ounce and up to 8 ounces is a full misdemeanor crime, with bigger fines and possible jail time of up to a year.
Tässähän puhutaan vain rangaistusten lieventämisestä vankilatuomiosta sakkoihin, ei suinkaan dekriminalisoinnista. Edistystä toki tämäkin, mikäli menee läpi.
