Non Story


Stories in the paper and on the news today are kind of misleading. Starting on September 1, the cops (in some cases) will be allowed to write a citation for misdemeanor possession of marijuana (and some other small crimes). All that means is that you won't have to go to jail, be booked in, and then bond out. But you still will have to appear in court and face the same punishment that you always have.

Stephen Hale Syndrome, we did it before. Criminal Attempt Possession of Marihuana under 2 ounces. Class B is now a Class C, but the authorities said the "baggie" could not be introduced into court as paraphernailia.
