If You Live in California. . .
Marijuana possession could be reduced from a criminal misdemeanor to a civil infraction punishable by not more than a fine of $100.00.
Senate lawmakers have already passed the bill by a vote of 21 to 13. The measure now moves to the State Assembly. Act now! Go to this link and write to your representative. Contact Officials - NORML

In what quantities? I heard less than an oz is already only an infraction.

Quote:
Under current law, marijuana possession of less than an ounce is only misdemeanor that is not punishable by arrest or jail time. However, offenders must still appear in court, pay a fine ($100), and pay court costs (approximately $200). In addition, defendants who wish to avoid a criminal record must attend a court-ordered diversion program. Defendants who do not attend a diversion program (or have a prior offense) are saddled with a criminal record. By making possession an infraction, the bill would spare possession offenders time in court or the risk of a criminal record. Instead, they would simply pay a fine. As I said before, S.B. 1449 is here and now and appears to be on the fast track to passage. Let's give it a push. Go here to write to your representative today! Contact Officials - NORML
