“Martin O’Malley says he will sign a bill decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana. The bill would impose civil fines rather than criminal sanctions for carrying less than 10 grams of the drug.  The Maryland Senate approved the legislation Monday on a 38-8 votes. Although it has been a battle to get the legislation on the statute books and on Saturday the House of Delegates passed the bill by just seven votes. Opponents had been insisting that decriminalization would have sent the wrong message about drug use. The bill also narrowly escaped efforts by House judiciary Committee Joseph F Vallario Jr. (D-Prince’s George’s) and others to kill it in committee.”
