The Assembly got rolling (no pun intended) on marijuana bills yesterday, with the Appropriations Committee approving two huge bills: One to vastly expand medical marijuana, and one to decriminalize possession of up to two ounces.
That would be just a $50 fine for two ounces of marijuana. Two ounces! That’s less than 10 percent of what it costs to buy that much weed. So I’ve been told, anyway. If it’s decent quality. This all happened very quickly for such huge bills, and quite confusingly. I had to check to make sure it wasn’t the end of June. Anyway, Senate President Sweeney isn’t on board with this yet. Pros can read more from Sam Sutton here.
