Five things to know about KC's new marijuana law

Kansas City voters overwhelmingly supported reduced penalties for marijuana possession in Tuesday’s election, and the new city law has already taken effect.

The Kansas City Municipal Court is well aware of the voter-approved change, but Municipal Court officials and others say there are important issues for residents to realize in this new legal climate.

Here are five key things to know about the new law:

1. This does NOT legalize marijuana possession. Voters approved a citizens petition initiative that reduces the maximum fine in city court from $500 to $25 and eliminates possible jail time as a penalty for possessing 35 grams or less of pot, about 1 1/4 ounce.

But pot possession is still illegal, and a guilty plea would involve a drug conviction. This is not like what Colorado and some other states have done to legalize marijuana possession.

I really appreciate your posts concerning different states. Your informative posts are one of the main attractions of DU (for me anyway) right up there with LOL Katz.

Thank you TexasTowelie

Hopefully I'm filling a niche that is useful for everyone. I know that DU is a source of news for many people. I frequently see stories on DU before they appear elsewhere on the news. I try to mix it up with a variety of serious news along with some personal interest stories because we need some good news now that the country is run by Republicans.
