We will no longer jail marijuana users. It will be mandatory for them to enter rehab, perform community service and pay exorbitant fines.

People over 21 who use marijuana do not need drug counseling.
People over 21 who use marijuana do not need drug rehab.
People over 21 who use marijuana do not need to be hauled into drug courts and fined excessively.
