Carozza offers amendment to fix marijuana confusion

When marijuana was decriminalized last year, what has been called a legislative oversight occurred where possession of the paraphernalia used for smoking was a more serious offense than the substance itself.

House Bill 105 is a bid to normalize that portion of the law with the intent of marijuana decriminalization. The bill, which passed the house 90-48 on March 18, would limit the fines for paraphernalia involved to a $100 civil offense if used in conjunction with fewer than 10 grams of marijuana.

Courts would be obligated to consider medical necessity as a mitigating factor in paraphernalia cases, according to the analysis of the bill performed by Kathleen Kennedy of the Office of Policy Analysis.

    This law should never have been passed the way it was written. Par for course for the democrat controlled freak show called The MD General Assembly. Oh that's okay if it's half-assed go ahead and pass it. Thanks Del Carozza for fixing one of many abominations perpetrated by the incompetent democrats.

    The original legislators were already smoking when they wrote the original law....failing to consider the entire environment!

    The Mary Beth for State Senate Campaign has already started. I hope her aide is studying returns at the precinct level because my research has already started.
