Hartford --  The Connecticut House of Representatives has approved legislation decriminalizing marijuana, sending it to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy who is expected to sign it into law.After a nearly four-hour debate Tuesday, the House voted 90-57 to eliminate the misdemeanor offense from possession of less than a half-ounce of marijuana. It would instead result in a $150 fine for a first offense and a fine ranging from $200 to $500 for subsequent offenses.
Those younger than 21 would face a 60-day driver's license suspension, similar to the existing penalty for possessing alcohol.Opponents say marijuana is a harmful drug and that the law should keep it beyond reach.The Senate last week narrowly approved the legislation, which supporters say is a common sense reform to the judicial system.Source: Connecticut Post (Bridgeport, CT)Author: Stephen Singer, Associated PressPublished: June 7, 2011Copyright: 2011 MediaNews Group, IncContact: edit ctpost.comWebsite: http://www.connpost.com/URL: http://drugsense.org/url/nft6TzILCannabisNews -- Cannabis Archiveshttp://cannabisnews.com/news/list/cannabis.shtml
