Message: From GoLocalProv by GoLocalProv News Team: Citing a report published in the American Journal of Public Health that said seven decades of arresting marijuana users has “failed to prevent marijuana use”, a group of Rhode Island State Representatives has introduced a bill today that would decriminalize possession of “a small amount of” marijuana in Rhode Island for adults over 21 years of age. Creating a chapter under the state’s "Food and Drugs” laws called the "Marijuana Regulation, Control, and Taxation Act”, the legislation sponsored by Representatives Edith Ajello, Brian Newberry, David Bennett, Peter Martin and Larry Valencia would remove state criminal penalties for adults who use, obtain, purchase, transport or possess up to one ounce or less of marijuana. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/new-bill-would-legalize-marijuana-in-rhode-island
