Its just being proposed as of now, its not decriminalized yet.

Hope it doesn't get decriminalized.

No it is decriminalized. I think I sent the wrong article.

BTW decriminalization does not mean legal. It means we aren't locking up some college kid for 20 years for less than an ounce of pot.

This thread title is misleading...

Weed is still illegal, and grounds for criminal judgement...

Even if you get probation/whatever, it still goes on your criminal record...

Are people changing their names now? Whats up? Did I miss something?

Everyone kept misspelling my name in their "Thank You" and "I Love You" letters, not to mention the gross mispronunciation on the phone and in person, so I decided to simplify it a bit.

Less than 1/2 an ounce is like 10 days max (it won't be). An ounce itself is like a max of 45, which also won't be imposed.

there isn't one valid reason for marijuana to be illegal.

Yes there is.

It gives everyone something to bitch about.

No, not really. It is amazing that a plant that has never been linked to an overdose death is illegal.

Sure there is. If its legal, it eliminates a prime source of tax free income for many people. :)

[bleys]

see... no valid reasons for marijuana to stay illegal. ;)
