A new law was passed in Philadelphia, PA that decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana. Possession of less than 30 grams will result in a $25 citation. Public consumption is a $100 citation.
Mike Whiter, of Philly NORMl, and N.A. Poe have been fighting for legalization throughout all of Pennsylvania. This was seen as a major victory in the effort.
Mike arranged with the Philadelphia Police to receive the first citation for smoking at City Hall. “My intention is to point out that Philadelphia finally decriminalized marijuana, that it’s the largest city in the country to do so, and I’m here representing veterans who use marijuana for medicine. And we still can’t get our medicine legally. I can go out and smoke and get a $100 fine. I won’t get put in cuffs, but I’m still not going to have legal access to my medicine.”
