Pa. city decriminalizes marijuana use for adults

After months of debate, marijuana usage will no longer be a misdemeanor in Easton. A new ordinance, brought forth by Councilman Frank Pintabone and passed in a 4-3 vote at Tuesday night’s city council meeting, will treat possession of a small amount of marijuana as a summary offense rather than a misdemeanor. The offense would also not exist on the individual’s criminal record.
