Show Notes
Georgia lawmakers propose House Bill 496 to alter police procedures regarding marijuana scents. The bill, sponsored by Representative Jasmine Clark, aims to prevent officers from searching cars, seizing items, or making arrests based solely on the smell of cannabis or hemp. The bill is currently in the House Judiciary Non-Civil Committee. Marijuana remains illegal statewide, but metro Atlanta areas have decriminalized small amounts. Hemp products are legal for qualified individuals. Possession of less than one ounce is a misdemeanor, while over one ounce is a felony. A crucial vote is expected as early as Monday, potentially reshaping traffic stops and protections across the state.
