Decriminalization: The Right Move For New Hampshire

There is a brief editorial on The Tufts Daily about the latest effort by New Hampshire to decriminalize small amounts of Marijuana. Here's a wee snip from the page:
The New Hampshire House of Representatives' recent passing of Bill 1623, which would decriminalize the possession of a quarter-ounce of marijuana or less, is a logical - if controversial - decision, and one that the Daily supports.

New Hampshire would be the 13th state to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana. Under current New Hampshire law, possession of a quarter-ounce of marijuana is punishable by a $2,000 fine and up to a year in jail - a punishment that supporters of the bill say is too harsh.
The number of states tolerating Marijuana is growing quickly, hopefully a sign of the times for post-Bush America.
