ALASKA " marijuana News "

지난선거때 알래스카에서도 마리화나가 

합법화 되면서 앞으로의 운영 시스템에 

대해서 많은 의견들이 도출되었습니다.

일단 공공장소에서 피다 적발되면 벌금 100불

이 확정 되었으며, 향후 마리화나에 대한

운영 일정이 대충 정리가 된것 같습니다.

합법화에 따른 시행날자가 다가오면서 부쩍 마리화나에 대한 

단속이 심해졌습니다.

평소보다 2~3배의 마리화나 소지자를 적발하고 있는 이유가

법의 제정전 미리 정리정돈을 하려는것 같습니다.

그래서 유독 요새 마리화나 소지죄로 구속되는 사례들이

연일 넘쳐나고 있습니다.

요새 신문에서도 뉴스 거리가 없다보니, 신문에 등장하는 

이야기들이 마리화나 시행안 입니다.

마리화나 시행에 따른 일정이 나와서 올려봅니다.
