What’s in it
AI summary People caught with small amounts of marijuana or drug paraphernalia that are not being sold would face a $25 fine instead of facing felony or misdemeanor charges. Police officers cannot use the smell of marijuana or having small amounts of it as a reason to suspect someone of a crime unless they are investigating a person for driving under the influence. This change does not make it legal to sell marijuana, use it in public, or use it at work.1
