If you actually read 2391 it says Class B misdameanors(less than two ounces) only not class A(less than four ounces). What gives?

The bill actually states that the citation requires the accused to appear before a magistrate rather than be thrown in jail. the same penalty will still apply to the misdemeanor charge. so it's simply an administrative change to the law, not really substantive.

Kinda wish they would have increased the penalties for graffiti instead. Compared to the millions of dollars in damage taggers do to taxpayers' property each year, the cost to prosecute these cases is insignificant. Especially considering how few of them are caught. Seth

Yeah, arbitrary laws are great. How is this different from the system now? Just that the police officer no longer gets in trouble if they get caught letting you go?
