Small victory. I'll take it. Medical MJ bill coming up soon.
The idea that a safe and effective medicine should be disallowed is abhorrent to a freedom loving people.

Governor Malloy crafted the decrim bill. His predecessor Jodi Rell vetoed a similar bill that passed both houses in 2009. The Senate passage was a squeaker. If the House passes it then Malloy will surely also. I foresee 25 gram lids everywhere.

House has to pass it by wed before session ends. 14g & under = $150 fine

CT voters: Over the weekend, the Connecticut Senate narrowly approved a measure to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana. The vote was 18-18, and Lieutenant Governor Nancy Wyman broke the tie with a vote in support of the bill. If passed, the bill would change the penalty for possession of less than half an ounce of marijuana from a misdemeanor (maximum fine of $1,000 and up to a year in jail) to a $150 civil fine with no criminal record.

The bill now moves to the House where it needs your help. Please call Speaker of the House Chris Donovan and House Majority Leader Brendan Sharkey and urge them to call the bill, SB 1014, to the House floor for a vote.

There are only a couple of days left in the Connecticut Legislature’s 2011 session, so we have to get this bill called soon. Please don’t wait – take two minutes of your time to make a call and urge House leadership to hold a vote on this important, common sense bill now.

YAY! 6/7/2011 – Today the Connecticut House of Representatives passed SB 1014, a bill to make possession of less than 14 grams of marijuana a non-criminal violation for adults. There was heavy debate about the concept, but the measure prevailed in a 90-57 vote. The legislation was passed by the Senate over the weekend.

Governor Dannel P. Malloy sponsored the bill and is now expected to sign it into law.

When the bill is signed into law Connecticut will be the 14th US State to make adult cannabis possession a non-criminal offense.

Thanks for the interest... Med MJ is next

Awesome news for CT.

I wonder when the south will "decriminalize" ANY amount?
