Never let it be said that Dan “Misdemeanor Malano” Seum doesn’t have friends in the Senate GOP caucus.
Fresh off Seum’s admitting to marijuana use, Senator Jimmy Higdon has filed a bill that will greatly reduce the penalties of possession of the skunk weed.
Higdon, father of James Higdon, author of Cornbread Mafia and a marijuana advocate, proposes that discretion be taken away from police and the option of taking a person to jail for possession be taken off the table. Rather, he would like to see it treated like a traffic violation where the miscreant receive only a ticket.
What can we say? The whole legislature is going to pot.
