Repeal of Jail Penalties for Private Pot Use Urged
The National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse recommends eliminating jail terms and fines for private marijuana smoking and possession of one ounce or less, while keeping penalties for cultivation or sale. It urges decriminalization of possession, strict penalties for public use, and classifies marijuana as contraband outside the home. The panel stresses persuasion over prosecution and notes potential public safety risks from driving under the influence.
