Decriminalization of Marijuana is a bill in the works with only a civil penalty, Of course if you get caught with some weed you get a ticket a fine no jail
And you will be prohibited from purchasing transporting a firearm or obtaining a Concealed firearms permit, and that will never change or should, as well as losing your drivers license smoking or smoke up behind the wheel
You can imagine there will be numerous add on's, doctors lawyers operating equipment cranes pilots boats and 10 thousand other things if your high or have used marijuana and get caught as it should be and penalty's for some of these items should be felonies such as a MD operating on someone while high on weed
It will take a few years to write the laws out BTW

SB 111 Marijuana; decriminalization of simple possession, civil penalty.
Introduced by: Adam P. Ebbin | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Marijuana; decriminalization of simple marijuana possession. Decriminalizes simple marijuana possession and provides a civil penalty of no more than $50 for a first violation, $100 for a second violation, and $250 for a third or subsequent violation. Current law imposes a maximum fine of $500 and a maximum 30-day jail sentence for a first offense, and subsequent offenses are a Class 1 misdemeanor. The bill provides that the suspended sentence/substance abuse screening provisions and driver's license suspension provisions apply only to criminal violations or to civil violations by a juvenile. The bill provides that a court may suspend a driver's license for a civil violation committed by an adult. A civil violation will be treated as a conviction for prohibitions on the purchase or transport of a handgun and disqualification for a concealed handgun permit.
