House Speaker Pro Tempre and Baltimore County Delegate Adrienne Jones admits that she is not comfortable with legalizing marijuana for recreational use.
She's also not comfortable with decriminalization, where the penalty for marijuana possession is reduced to a fine.
Jones is proposing what she thinks is a way will keep those charged with having less than 10 grams of marijuana out of jail.

Smoking marijuana doesn't need, or warrant, counseling. More useless legislature. How about jobs? Tax credits/breaks? Business growing bills? Get your heads out of your collective rears.
Why counsoling for any use ...what a joke ...kinda stupid when other libtard states have legilized this harmless intoxicant.....
That is the jobs, more COs, POs, and addiction counselors
This is a loser from the get-go. What's going through her head? It would be more appropriate for alcohol possession.
harmless? intoxicant? u must have forgot when in elementary school, they told us it has more carcinogens than smoking. . . forget that???

Hey 4:15...would you want a doctor who just smoked this "harmless intoxicant" to operate on you? your child? your mom? Or a pilot who just smoked a big fattie to fly the plane you are on?
7:29 Same thing could be said about drinking, so what's your point?
The point is,(put down your Cheetos and twinkies-sounds like you may have the munchies) a drunk is obvious-stumble into the operating theater or the cockpit and it will be noticed!-the alcohol is metabolized out of their system a heck of a lot faster than marijuana...no, I would not want a person with a hangover operating, flying etc. but that would be a lot more apparent than the guy who lit up the night before and still has the drug in their system for days..weeks...
10:08 You are not very bright. Please go back to your propaganda machine and get some new material.
The state of Colorado just posted the state tax revenue from marijuana sales in January, $198,000 in January alone, just for the state of Colorado. The state has projected that in the first 18 months of sales, ending in July 2015, the end of the fiscal year Colorado will take in $610,000,000 in it's first 18 months. The marijuana will be taxed 3 times before sale for consumption, taxed once for the growers, 2nd for whole sale and a 3rd time at point of sale. Now shut up, I'm still talking, read the writing on the wall! Ending prohibition on marijuana will keep a lot more money in this county and out of the hands of drug cartels, providing jobs and a new revenue source. Win, win for everyone.
4:48 has a point but on the flip side less po's,co's and addiction counselers would be needed. Drug abuse is actually a lucrative bussiness for these people not to mention rehab centers which take in thousands per patient. I agree with the decriminalization of marijuana and there is a way to test for recent use. The statement about being in your system is true for alchol as well the visible affects could be gone but the mental is still present as all who have had a hangover know. It is a fact that hundreds of millions of US dollars are running out of this country and are not spent here further hurting our economy, keep it here and tax it's use just like alcohol. There are thousands of maintenece drinkers who keep jobs but by standards are legally drunk 24 and seven, their bodies need it, just like a herion addict, just to 'maintain normalcy'.
No half way measures just legalize the stuff.
