Decriminalize Cannabis in Harrisburg


Decriminalize Cannabis in Harrisburg
The Issue
The citizens of The City of Harrisburg have had enough of the enforcement of 1970's cannabis policy. We, therefore, demand Harrisburg City Council work to update the way Harrisburg City Police treat non-violent drug offenders. We demand the decriminalization of amounts of cannabis up 30g/1oz such that:
-Possession by an adult or minor = $25.00 civil fine. No arrest. No record. No waste.
-Smoking in public by an adult or minor = $100.00 civil fine or up to 9 hours of community service. No arrest. No record. No waste.
Signing this petition will show City Council that we are tired of living under 1970's-era cannabis policy. Having the capital of the state decriminalize will show the Pennsylvania legislature that we are serious. It is time for us to stand as one and loudly declare:
The time to stop arresting non-violent users of cannabis in The City of Harrisburg is now!
