Marijuana decriminalized in Cali

#LatePass on this. The Govenator passed a bill October 1st that pretty much made getting caught with herb, about as bad as a speeding ticket.
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed Senate Bill 1449 — which reduces adult marijuana possession charges from a criminal misdemeanor to a civil infraction in California. Senate Bill 1449 amends the California Health and Safety Code so that the adult possession of up to 28.5 grams of marijuana is classified as an infraction, punishable by no more than a $100 fine — no court appearance, no court costs, and no criminal record.
Don't blaze your blunt in public too soon tho, cuz Bill 1449 doesn't go in to effect til the top of the year. I commend Arnold for meeting us half way and letting us slide with this seeing as how he's still against Prop 19.
