You can have 14 grams and only get a 100 fine. Mississippi has had similar rules for 10+ years. Would be a huge fail if this is all they can do.


It's because the head of the House committee on criminal justice (Sherman Mack) is a reefer madness buffoon. He attempted to gut the bill by putting the exact same penalties in place as now for first time offenses and slightly lower the second offense penalties. It took a compromise and amendment on the floor to even get back to the $100 fine for first time offenses.
