"We have to understand that we cannot legislate and lock up everybody for everything they do," commissioner Priscilla Taylor said at Tuesday's commission meeting.
Commissioner Steven Abrams also supported the ordinance.
"For someone who is caught with a small amount of marijuana, I think it's worth it in order to not mess up that person's life," he says
This ordinance doesn't legalize marijuana - it just reduces the penalties for those caught with it.
It gives law enforcement an alternative - rather than make an arrest, now they can give a $100 fine.

One small step.... If you were found growing I bet you would be a felony bust though.
 
Last time I visited Florida no one cared I smoked joints in the bar it was encouraged. Seems like the folk for the most part want it but are heavily oppressed by all the lobbying that goes on down there for the private prison system, police, pharma, etc. I am AMAZED to see this actually happen. Logic and economics eventually prevail? Such a sound answer too: "we dont want to ruin lives over weed" THANK YOU

...the moment you realize your entire life will be a subtle war revolving around A Plant...
