Pleased to sign the marijuana legislation last night at 6:24pm. Thanks to @KwanzaHall & @KeishaBottoms for all their hard work on this.

Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed signed historic legislation decriminalizing marijuana in the city late Tuesday evening. The new law states that possession of less than 1 ounce of marijuana is now punishable by a $75 fine and no jail time. Previously possessing as little as a joint could lead to a fine of up to $1K and six months in jail.
