Reefer blowers, dank smokers, kush queens, lend me your ears! I have come to discuss the new system of cannabis legalization, but not to praise it.

On June 1, the City of St. Louis became one of many cities across the country to decriminalize marijuana in minor possession cases. Since the bill went into effect, minor possession cases involving fewer than 35 grams of marijuana and violators who do not have previous criminal charges will no longer result in misdemeanor charges in state court.
