Morrell's marijuana bill didn't make it out of committee

No big surprise.

A state Senate panel Tuesday afternoon rejected legislation that would have reduced criminal penalties for simple possession of marijuana.

The 4-3 vote came after the panel also shot down a compromise under which possession of an ounce or less would have been a misdemeanor.

Oh well, as you were, Louisiana.  You were shoving people into jails for stupid stuff. Get on back to that.
