The National Criminal Justice Act of 2009

[Phillip D Grimes]

This is a little something a few of my friends and I have been working on. I have even spoke with President Obama and he has promised to sign the Act when it reaches his desk. This will let first time offenders for simple possession charges out of prison and make more room for for real criminals as well as reduce the overcrowding in our state and federal prison systems. If you have any questions about this please feel free to contact me anytime by email at [e-mail] or by phone [phone] home or cell 918-658-4160 or yahoo messenger phill_grimes. I strongly urge that even if you are not for this Act to please forward it to everyone on your contact list. As president Obama has stated the Drug war is a failure and it's time for change. Please help!



The National Criminal Justice Act of 2009



Introduced Apr 17th, 2009 H.R. 5843, an act to Remove Federal Penalties for the Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults. Would also make room in prisons for Real criminals.



H.R. 5843 would eliminate penalties for the possession of marijuana for personal use, or for the not-for-profit transfer between adults of marijuana for personal use. Under the bill, possession of 100 grams (3.52 oz) or less of marijuana is presumed to be for personal use, as well as the not-for-profit transfer of one ounce or less of marijuana. The bill makes an exception that the civil penalty provided in the Controlled Substances Act may be imposed for the public use of marijuana if the amount of the penalty does not exceed $100.

Currently, this bill is under review by the House Committees on the Judiciary and Energy & Commerce.
