i thought we had quit arresting people for marijuana possession?
Not completely
Hi P.V.,
Whether there’s an arrest (and a trip to Skokie court) now depends on the amount of pot and whether there were additional violations.
Simple possession of under 10 grams gets a citation that’s handled in the administrative adjudication process at the Evanston Civic Center.
