Quote : | "Citing the need to reduce spending on prosecution and courts, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a measure that makes marijuana possession an infraction, on par with traffic and littering tickets." |
Quote : | ""In this time of drastic budget cuts, prosecutors, defense attorneys, law enforcement and the courts cannot afford to expend limited resources prosecuting a crime that carries the same punishment as a traffic ticket," wrote Schwarzenegger, who opposes Proposition 19, the marijuana initiative.
The law, which takes effect immediately, reduces possession of up to an ounce of marijuana - about the amount that will fit in a sandwich-size bag - from a misdemeanor to an infraction. Already, marijuana possession was the only misdemeanor under California law that didn't allow for jail time." |
Quote : | "If voters approve Prop. 19 next month, it would be legal for adults over the age of 21 to possess and use the drug. Even if the ballot measure fails, however, the approval of SB1449 indicates a slight thawing in long-standing opposition to legalization of the drug; and recent polls have shown growing support for Prop. 19 over just a few months." |
