There's more after that ad space.

New law is essentially they can now charge possession or public use as a misdemeanor instead of a felony and are targeting people using in public.

I'm no fan of the war on drugs but I will reserve judgment on this for a later time to see how this goes. Leaning towards not having a problem with it.
