NEW ORLEANS — People charged with possession of marijuana in New Orleans will no longer be arrested and taken to jail.
A city law that went into effect at 7 a.m. Sunday now gives police the option of issuing a summons to violators.
District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro said the point of the new law is to free up local judges to handle more important cases.

Law enforcement just can't admit they have been wrong from day 1 about marijuana. They are inching their way towards legalization because saving face is more important than all of the lives they have destroyed with a law that never had a right to be a law.

Oh, I thought they added a new law or increased penalty. Guess I have another reason to go to Mardi Gras.
