A recent comment about the dangers of marijuana use in children by the Governor of Nebraska, Pete Ricketts, has received quite a bit of criticism online. Governor Ricketts said, "If you legalize marijuana, you're gonna kill your kids" in a press conference.
The Shreveport City Council is set to consider a change to marijuana laws in the city. The change would "implement a fine of $50.00 and/or community service in lieu of imprisonment for simple possession of marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol, or chemical derivatives thereof."
