Sacramento proposed by Assemblyman Sivtoty to reduce possession of marijuana from a felony to a misdemeanor with a maximum 90 day jail term. He argues current laws punish too harshly, creating disrespect for the law and unequal sentences across counties. Additional bills seek reclassifying marijuana, repealing narcotics placement, and easing registration and reporting burdens.
