CITY POT BILL SIGNED

Mayor Vincent Gray on Monday signed a bill that decriminalizes 
possession of up to an ounce of marijuana in the U.S. capital. The 
law makes possession a civil violation with a penalty of $25, lower 
than most city parking tickets. Possession had been a misdemeanor 
carrying up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
