Mori may swing vote to soften marijuana penalties
In Sacramento the Assembly appeared ready to pass a bill reducing penalties for marijuana possession with a potential switch by Assemblyman S Ployd Mori. Mori reversed his past stance, arguing jail is unwarranted for personal use, and the measure would impose a maximum $100 fine for possession of an ounce or less. The bill, Senate Bill 95, now moves with an amendment to divert repeat offenders to treatment programs, while harsher penalties for sellers remain unchanged.
