Maryland's 2 joints and a fine--recreational pot smoking-

Two marijauna weighing 10 grams or less will be punished with a fine in the state of Maryland. No jailtime if busted seem to be the path to allowing individuals to puff the doobies.

The Maryland Senate voted 30 to 16 on Tuesday to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana, subjecting those caught smoking to only a civil fine of up to $100. Supporters of the bill said the move is consistent with a growing number of states that have sought in recent years to do away with jail time for minor offenders. But Maryland’s bill doesn’t go far as measures in Colorado and Washington that have legalized marijuana.

Other states have decriminalized pot with limitation clauses. Getting caught could earn a civil fine , drug education, or drug treatment instead of jail time. Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut,Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi,Nebraska,Nevada, New York, North Carolina,Ohio and Oregon. Indiana it seems would rather pay the bill for jails rather allow it's citizens to enjoy the recreational drug with civil fines..
