Under Rep. Liz Conmy (D), who is also one of its main sponsors, House Bill 1596 would make ordinary Marihuana possession illegal and adjust other penalties accordingly: Possessing up to 100 grams would constitute illegal marijuana possession while 100-500 grams constituted class B possession while over 500 gramages would lead to Class A arrest warrants being issued by law enforcement officials.

After adopting new Programs of Possession, this tool would adapt itself accordingly with principles pertaining to tightening registration of previous convictions. People convicted for possessing up to 500 grams or four grammes THC for the first time will qualify, provided no similar violations occur in two-year time span.
„[This initiative is] creating a pathway for individuals charged with violation of class B or lower real property ownership rules to seek removal of the court judgment from their karneal record, provided no new violations occur within two years after first prosecution”- said their sponsor.

We decidedly supported decreasing maximum fine from 1000 USD but we are dismayed that prokuratorow stanowych have asked Komisja to change Kare for Possession of Marihuana with Amount not exceeding 150 USD as that’s outside our target range and could have an influence over people fighting over reconciliazanie of both ends”.
