THERE’S A MOVE UNDERWAY AT ALBUQUERQUE CITY HALL TO DECRIMINALIZE POSSESSION OF SMALL AMOUNTS OF POT. CO-SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCILORS ISAAC BENTON AND REY GARDUNO, THE MEASURE WOULD MAKE POSSESSING AN OUNCE OR LESS OF MARIJUANA A CIVIL OFFENSE, NOT A CRIMINAL VIOLATION. IT’LL BE INTRODUCED AT WEDNESDAY’S COUNCIL MEETING…BUT FINAL ACTION ISN’T EXPECTED UNTIL LATER THIS MONTH.
