Wednesday night Vermont citizens testified in Montpelier on a proposed bill that would decriminalize possession and sale of less than 4 ounces of marijuana.

As always we are looking for some interesting perspectives and ideas. Be thoughtful about it. What might happen at your high school if this were to happen. Would people even care?

By the way the current law states that possession of marijuana or sale of marijuana is a criminal offense that could result in prison or fines or both.
