Here's the kicker... while you won't have to go to jail you will have to pay a fine...
"The bill did not legalize the drug, and maintained or increased already stiff penalties for large-scale growers and traffickers. It made possession of less than 15 grams of pot a minor offense punishable by fines of $100 to $400, much like traffic tickets."
Yes, they could legalize it and tax it but why piss off those who don't want it to be legal? Just decriminalize, charge a hefty fine and watch the money roll in...
That said, it is a step in the right direction.
