Pot Decrim Measure Hits Congress
U.S. Reps Barney Frank, D-Mass., and Texas' own Liberpublican Ron Paul, R-Surfside, joined forces last week to file legislation aimed at taming the federal law enforcement war on pot.
On April 18, Frank introduced H.R. 5843, the first pot decriminalization measure introduced in Congress in 24 years, which would remove from federal law the possibility of arrest, prosecution and jail for "responsible" adult tokers, and would eliminate penalties for possession of up to 3 1/2 ounces. The bill would also make legal between adults the "not-for-profit" transfer of up to one ounce of pot, and would create a $100 fine for smoking in public.
