More state’s move to make money off marijuana sales…
The Louisiana state Senate on Monday passed legislation that seeks to decriminalize marijuana in the state.
House Bill 652, introduced by state Rep. Cedric Glover (D), passed the upper chamber in a 20-17 vote on Monday. The bill already passed the state House in an overwhelming vote, 68-25, last month.
If signed into law, the bill would reduce criminal penalties for possession of marijuana not exceeding 14 grams. In instances where the offender possesses up to that amount, they will be fined no more than $100. The law would apply to cases where the offender is on their first conviction or any subsequent conviction…
Note….
So far marijuana is STILL considered a dangerous drug and illegal of the Federal level….
Hard to see Gov. Ron D[JT]e Santos signing this…
Just a matter of time before the federal law gets repealed .
As I’ve repeated here many times,The federal law is rarely enforced and then only on major dealers.With these new state laws in place,even those type cases will gradually go away.
