Happy 4/20 Tampa!

In March, Mayor Bob Buckhorn signed a measure into law that prevents people found with small amounts of marijuana, specifically 20 grams or less, from being put in jail. Instead, those found with these amounts will pay a citation, similar to getting a traffic ticket.

 

 

First time offenders pay a $75 ticket, second time offenders will be squeezed to the tune of $150. For third time offenders, a fine of $300, and for four or more times, $450. How much is 20 grams? Roughly three-quarters of an ounce, of marijuana.

This picture was so funny I had to share, but happy 4/20! Blaze responsibility!
