My home state decriminalized marijuana today!

[quote]Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) has signed a bill decriminalizing marijuana possession in the state, following the passage of the measure in Maryland's General Assembly.
Senate Bill 364 reduces the penalty for possessing less than 10 grams of marijuana from a criminal to a civil offense. First-time offenders will face fines up to $100, while a second offense will be punishable with a fine up to $250 and subsequent offenses up to $500. Additionally, the bill requires third-time offenders or offenders under the age of 21 to be evaluated for substance abuse problems, and to attend drug education classes.
The state Senate gave final approval to the bill April 7 in a 34-8 vote, following a 78-55 vote in the House of Delegates last Saturday. [/quote]
I'm glad this finally happened, it's been a long time coming. Maryland used to have some of the strictest penalties for pot possession, now they're reasonable. I bet everyone at my old high school was celebrating. Also, I bet the cafeteria had one of their busier days.

6 RepliesFor medical use, fine, I guess, but it has to be for actual medical use. Like, for people with things that really stress them out, like cancer, for example. Just do it in your house and leave it be. I don't want your 2nd hand smoke. As for recreational use, I'm against it. It does cause damage to you, and that's that. Not only that, but I just don't see the appeal, but I'm anti-smoking in general. IF recreational use of marijuana gets passed in my state (Florida), fine, so be it, but just smoke it in your home. Again, I don't want your 2nd hand smoke, and I'm this same way with regular cigarettes.

2 RepliesI saw this on the local news while I was in MD, it's good that they are making consequences less harsh but honestly MD needs to focus it's shit on other issues.

1 ReplyAnd now the stupid dope heads are going to have their way...yes it isn't bad as it has good medical effects but...can't say that people in my school that smoke that are that bright. So I'm assuming there's more stupid teenagers.

23 RepliesEdited by Ekk: 4/14/2014 11:43:22 PMWhy do people enjoy smoking a plant that makes them act retarded? I'm disappointed in my state.

YES! And now their medical program will be much more practical.

They already did this experiment in the Netherlands and look what happened. The only reason why there legalizing it is because of tax revenue

17 RepliesDo not discuss illegal substances.

Medicinal use ok. Recreational no.

Now I can listen to more idiots talk about how cool they are for smoking a blunt

Why do people like getting high? Really, I don't get it...

Edited by Wolvers II: 4/15/2014 12:12:50 PMAlright, whatever. Smoking weed's fine, I do it myself every now and then and I guess it should be legal. But these people who get into all the culture and what-have-you make me cringe. 'Aw dude I'm so high!' '420 blaze it.' 'Nothing like a bifta after a day of work.' 'I'm writing to the local MP asking him to bring up the legalisation of weed in parliament.' Get a grip. Smoking pot was a big deal when we were 15 or whatever. I laugh so hard at adults who make smoking it a big part of their life and a trait of their character.

Someone I know got in trouble with the law for being in a car with people that had marijuana. Let's just say I felt like they treated it as if he had meth on him.
